# Connecting Statement:

|
|
Yahweh continues giving Ezekiel his message to Tyre.
|
|
|
|
# When I make you
|
|
|
|
The word "you" here refers to the city of Tyre. In the original language "you" here is feminine singular.
|
|
|
|
# When I make you a desolate city, like the other cities that are not inhabited
|
|
|
|
Here Tyre is compared to other cities that no longer had people living in them. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])
|
|
|
|
# the deeps
|
|
|
|
Here "the deeps" means the deep waters of the sea. AT: "the deep waters" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-nominaladj]])
|
|
|
|
# then I will bring you down to the people of ancient times, like the others who have gone down into the pit; for I will make you live in the lowest realms of the earth as in ruins of ancient times
|
|
|
|
What Yahweh would do to Tyre is compared to people going to the grave and cities falling into ruin. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])
|
|
|
|
# the pit
|
|
|
|
This refers to the grave. Because the grave was thought to be the entrance to the world of the dead, the pit also represents that world. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
|
|
|
|
# stand in the land of the living
|
|
|
|
This represents being restored to the city's former existence. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# I will place disaster on you
|
|
|
|
The abstract noun "disaster" can be translated using the adjective "terrible" or the verb "destroy." AT: "I will bring you to a terrible end" or "I will destroy you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
|
|
|
|
# Then you will be sought, but you will never be found ever again
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. AT: "Then people will seek you but not be able to find you ever again" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
