Ezekieli 27
1 Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
2 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, imba nyimbo yodandaulira Turo.
'And thou, son of man, take up a lamentation 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 unto Tyre, that dwelleth at the entry of the sea, that is the merchant of the peoples unto many isles: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Thou, O Tyre, hast said: I am of perfect beauty.
