Tena neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
2 And thou, son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre,
“Sasa wewe, mwanadamu, anza kuomboleza kuhusiana na Tiro,
3 and say to Tyre, O thou that dwells at the entry of the sea, that is the merchant of the peoples to many isles, thus says the lord Jehovah: Thou, O Tyre, have said, I am perfect in beauty.
