Ezekiel 27
1 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
2 “Now you, son of man, take up a lament for Tyre.
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, imba nyimbo yodandaulira Turo.
3 Tell Tyre, who dwells at the gateway to the sea, merchant of the peoples on many coasts, that this is what the Lord GOD says: You have said, O Tyre, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’
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.’
4 Your borders are in the heart of the seas; your builders perfected your beauty.
Malire ako anali mʼkati mwenimweni mwa nyanja; amisiri ako anakukongoletsa kwambiri.

6 Of oaks from Bashan they made your oars; of wood from the coasts of Cyprus they made your deck, inlaid with ivory.

25 The ships of Tarshish carried your merchandise. And you were filled with heavy cargo in the heart of the sea.
“Sitima za pa madzi za ku Tarisisi zinali zonyamula malonda ako. Motero iwe uli ngati sitima yapamadzi yodzaza ndi katundu wolemera.
26 Your oarsmen have brought you onto the high seas, but the east wind will shatter you in the heart of the sea.
Anthu opalasa ako amakupititsa pa nyanja yozama. Koma mphepo yakummawa idzakuthyolathyola pakati pa nyanja.
27 Your wealth, wares, and merchandise, your sailors, captains, and shipwrights, your merchants and all the warriors within you, with all the other people on board, will sink into the heart of the sea on the day of your downfall.
Chuma chako, katundu wako, malonda ako, okuyendetsa ako, okuwongolera ako ndi opanga sitima za pa madzi, anthu ako amalonda ndi asilikali ako onse ndiponso aliyense amene ali mʼmenemo adzamira mʼnyanja tsiku limene udzawonongeka.
28 The countryside will shake when your sailors cry out.
Madera a mʼmbali mwa nyanja adzagwedezeka chifukwa cha kufuwula kwa oyendetsa sitimawo.
29 All who handle the oars will abandon their ships. The sailors and all the captains of the sea will stand on the shore.
Onse amene amapalasa sitima zapamadzi, adzatuluka mʼsitima zawo; oyendetsa ndi onse owongolera sitima zapamadzi adzayimirira mʼmbali mwa nyanja.
30 They will raise their voices for you and cry out bitterly. They will throw dust on their heads and roll in ashes.
Iwo akufuwula, kukulira iwe kwambiri; akudzithira fumbi kumutu, ndi kudzigubuduza pa phulusa.
31 They will shave their heads for you and wrap themselves in sackcloth. They will weep over you with anguish of soul and bitter mourning.
Akumeta mpala mitu yawo chifukwa cha iwe ndipo akuvala ziguduli. Akukulira iweyo ndi mitima yowawa kwambiri.
32 As they wail and mourn over you, they will take up a lament for you: ‘Who was ever like Tyre, silenced in the middle of the sea?
Akuyimba nyimbo yokudandaulira nʼkumati: ‘Ndani anawonongedwapo ngati Turo pakati pa nyanja?’
33 When your wares went out to sea, you satisfied many nations. You enriched the kings of the earth with your abundant wealth and merchandise.
Pamene malonda ako ankawoloka nyanja unakhutitsa mitundu yambiri ya anthu. Mafumu a dziko lapansi analemera ndi chuma chako komanso ndi malonda ako.
34 Now you are shattered by the seas in the depths of the waters; your merchandise and the people among you have gone down with you.
Koma tsopano wathyokera mʼnyanja, pansi penipeni pa nyanja. Katundu wako ndi onse amene anali nawe amira pamodzi nawe.
35 All the people of the coastlands are appalled over you. Their kings shudder with fear; their faces are contorted.
Onse amene amakhala mʼmbali mwa nyanja aopsedwa ndi zimene zakuchitikira. Mafumu awo akuchita mantha ndipo nkhope zangoti khululu.
36 Those who trade among the nations hiss at you; you have come to a horrible end and will be no more.’”
Anthu amalonda a mitundu ina akukunyogodola. Watha mochititsa mantha ndipo sudzakhalaponso mpaka muyaya.”
