[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]:
2 “Wuod dhano, Nyis ruodh Turo niya, Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: “‘Sunga manie chunyi omiyo iwacho niya, “An nyasaye; Abet e kom duongʼ mar nyasaye moro modak e chuny nembe.” To chutho in mana dhano, to ok in nyasaye, kata obedo ni iketori ni iriek kaka nyasaye.
“You human, give to the king of Tyre this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘You have very proudly claimed, “I am a god! I sit on a throne of a god [in a city on an island] in the sea!” You boast that you are a god; but you are only a man, not a god.
3 Koso chunyi wuondi ni iriek moloyo Daniel? Iparo ni onge gima opondoni?
[You think that] you are wiser than Daniel was, [and you think that] you can understand every secret.
4 Nikech iriek bende in gi winjo matut, isekano mwandu mathoth mana ne in iwuon, bende isechoko fedha gi dhahabu mangʼeny, mi ikanogi e dereni mag keno.
By being wise and understanding [a lot], you have become [very] rich; you have acquired much gold and silver for your treasuries.
5 Rieko ma in-go mangʼeny kuom loko ohala osekonyi medo mwandu ewi mwandugi, kendo nikech mwandunigo koro isebedo gi sunga e chunyi.
[Yes, it is true that] by trading wisely, you have been enabled to become very rich, and because you are rich, you have become very proud.
6 “‘Kuom mano, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: “‘Kata iparo ni iriek ka nyasaye kamano,
Therefore, this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Because you think that you are as wise as a god,
7 to abiro kelo joma oa e pinje moko mondo omonji, gin pinje mager ahinya, kendo gibiro gi ligangla mi gitiekgo mwanduni duto ma iseyudo kuom riekoni kendo misungorigo.
I will [now] bring a foreign [army] to attack your [country], an army that causes other nations to be terrified. They will pull out their swords to strike you, [you who think that] [IRO] you have marvelous/great wisdom, and they will destroy all your beautiful things.
8 Gibiro negi gi nek marach mi giboli e bur matut, kendo ibiro tho tho marach, e chuny nam.
They will bring you down to your grave; you will die violently like [MET] those who died in the sea.
9 Bende koro iniwach ni, “An nyasaye,” ka joma biro negigo ochomi tir? Inibed dhano adhana matho, ma ok nyasaye, e lwet joma negi.
Then you will certainly not [RHQ] say to those who are killing you, 'I am a god!' [because they will know that] you are not a god; you are only a man.
10 Initho tho marach e lwet jopinje mamoko ma ok oter nyangu. Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.’”
You will die like other people who are unacceptable to me die, killed by foreigners.” [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”

Yahweh also gave me this message:
12 “Wuod dhano, chwog wend ywak kuom ruodh Turo kiwachone ni: ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto Wacho: “‘Ne in ranyisi maber ni ji, ne ipongʼ gi rieko kendo ne iber neno.
“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Tyre. Say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [“You thought that] [IRO] you were completely perfect, extremely wise and handsome.
13 Ne idak e Eden, e puoth Nyasaye; ne irwakori gi kite mopogore opogore ma nengogi tek kaka: rubi, gi topaz, gi emerald, gi krisolit, gi oniks kod jaspa, gi safir, gi tarkus kod beril. Gigi duto ne owir manyilni gi dhahabu kendo ne olosnigi e kinde mane ochweyie.
You [had a wonderful life, as though] you were in my [beautiful] garden in Eden. Your [clothes] were decorated with many [HYP] kinds of very valuable stones— ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, turquoise, and beryl [stones]. Those stones were set/placed in gold [mountings]. They were prepared for you on the day that you were born.
14 Ne owiri kaka malaika ma jarit miluongo ni kerubi, nikech mano e gima ne achanoni, mondo ibedi. Ne idak e got maler mar Nyasaye; kendo ne iwuotho e kind kite maliet ka mach.
I appointed [DOU] you to be like [MET] a strong angel to guard the people. [It was as though I put] you on my holy mountain, and you walked among fiery stones.
15 Yoreni duto ne ler maonge ketho kata achiel chakre chiengʼ mane ochweyie, nyaka chop chiengʼ mane oyudie ketho kuomi.
You were completely good in all that you did, from the day that you were created/born, until you [started to] do wicked things.
16 Kuom ohala mane itimo alanda ne ipongʼ gi timbe mag mahundu, mine idoko jaricho. Emomiyo ne adiri oko ka wichkuot omaki, ka agoli e got mar Nyasaye, kendo ne ariembi chuth, yaye kerubi ma jarit, mi ia e dier kite maliet ka mach.
[Then] you became busy trading things, and you started to act violently, and you sinned. So I caused you to be disgraced; and the angel who was guarding you forced you to leave my holy mountain, forced you to leave your place among those fiery stones.
17 Chunyi nobedo gi sunga nikech ber mane ibergo, kendo ne iketho riekoni nikech duongʼ mane in-go. Omiyo ne adiri makeli nyaka e piny; mibedo gima ruodhi mag piny rango amingʼa ka wuoro.
You were extremely proud because you were very handsome. Because you loved beautiful things, you did things that wise people do not do. [So] I threw you to the ground, and allowed [other] kings who saw you to laugh at you.
18 Isechido kara maler mar lemo kuom richoni mathoth mag ohandi mimayogo ji. Omiyo ne amoko mach kuomi, mine owangʼi motieki, bende ne amiyo ilokori buru manie lowo e nyim ji duto mane rangi.
By committing many sins and by trading things dishonestly, you caused your places of worship to become unacceptable to me. So I caused a fire [to burn down your city]. [Your city] was burned completely; the people who were watching it saw that only ashes remained on the ground.
19 Ogendini duto mane ongʼeyi, to dhogi omoko koneni; giko mari osebedo marach miwuoro kendo ok nochak oneni kendo.’”
All the people who knew what your [city was like previously] were appalled. Now [your city] has disappeared, and it will not exist any more.”’”

[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
21 “Wuod dhano, chom wangʼi kuom Sidon; kor wach kuome
“You human, turn toward Sidon [city], and declare the terrible things that will happen to it.
22 kendo iwachne ni: ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: “‘Adagi, yaye Sidon, kendo abiro donjora kodi ka ayudo duongʼ. Gibiro ngʼeyo ni An e Jehova Nyasaye, chiengʼ ma akumo Sidon, mi anyisra kaka An ngʼama ler e diergi.
Give [the people of Sidon] this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘I am your enemy, [you people of] Sidon, and by what I do to you, I will reveal that I am very great/glorious. When I punish you and reveal that I am holy, everyone who is watching that will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
23 Abiro oro tuoche malandore kuome, kendo abiro miyo remo mol e wangʼ yorene mag dala. Joma onegi biro podho e iye ka ligangla olwore koni gi koni. Eka giningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.
I will send a plague upon you, and I will send [enemies to come and] kill [MTY] you in your streets. They will attack you from every direction, and your people will be slaughtered inside the walls of your city. Then everyone will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'
24 “‘Jo-Israel ok nochak obedi gi jobutgi machalo kuth pedo machwopo malit kata machalo kudho mabith. Eka giningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto.
No longer will those who live near you people of Israel [hurt you] like [MET] painful briers and sharp thorns [hurt people]. And then the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
25 “‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Ka anachok jo-Israel ka agologi oko e dier ogendini kuonde ma gikiree, to ananyisra kaka ngʼama ler manie e diergi e kind ogendinigo. Eka ginidag e pinygi giwegi, piny mane amiyo Jakobo jatichna.
And this is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “Some day the people of Israel will live in their own land [again], the land that I gave to Jacob, who [also] served me. I will gather them from [distant] countries where I have scattered them. And I will reveal to the nations that I am holy among my people.
26 Ginidag kanyo gi kwe kendo giniger udi kendo ginipidh mzabibu e puothegi; ginidag gi kwe ka akumo pinje molworogi duto mane jarogi. Eka giningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi.’”
My people will live safely in Israel; they will build houses and plant vineyards. And when I punish the nearby nations that despised them, they will know that it is I, Yahweh their God, [who has done it].”
