Ezekieli 27
1 Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,
2 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, imba nyimbo yodandaulira Turo.
And you, son of man, make a song of grief for Tyre;
3 Uza Turo, mzinda wokhala pa dooko la nyanja, wochita malonda ndi anthu ambiri a mʼmbali mwa nyanja kuti: Ambuye Yehova akuti, “Iwe Turo, umanena kuti, ‘Ndine wokongola kwambiri.’
And say to Tyre, O you who are seated at the doorway of the sea, trading for the peoples with the great sea-lands, these are the words of the Lord: You, O Tyre, have said, I am a ship completely beautiful.
4 Malire ako anali mʼkati mwenimweni mwa nyanja; amisiri ako anakukongoletsa kwambiri.
Your builders have made your outlines in the heart of the seas, they have made you completely beautiful.

And their voices will be sounding over you, and crying bitterly they will put dust on their heads, rolling themselves in the dust:

And they will have the hair of their heads cut off because of you, and will put haircloth on their bodies, weeping for you with bitter grief in their souls, even with bitter sorrow.
32 Akuyimba nyimbo yokudandaulira nʼkumati: ‘Ndani anawonongedwapo ngati Turo pakati pa nyanja?’
And in their weeping they will make a song of grief for you, sorrowing over you and saying, Who is like Tyre, who has come to an end in the deep sea?

All the people of the sea-lands are overcome with wonder at you, and their kings are full of fear, their faces are troubled.

Those who do business among the peoples make sounds of surprise at you; you have become a thing of fear, you have come to an end for ever.
