Ezekieli 27
1 Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
2 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, imba nyimbo yodandaulira Turo.
"You, son of man, take up a lamentation over 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 tell Tyre, 'You who dwell at the entry of the sea, who are the merchant of the peoples to many islands, thus says the LORD: "You, Tyre, have said, 'I am perfect in beauty.'

All the inhabitants of the islands are astonished at you, and their kings are horribly afraid; they are troubled in their face.
