Ezekiel 27
1 The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,
Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
2 And you, son of man, make a song of grief for Tyre;
“Ame vi, dzi konyifaha ku ɖe Tiro ŋu.
3 And say to Tyre, O you who are seated at the doorway of the sea, trading for the peoples with the great sea-lands, these are the words of the Lord: You, O Tyre, have said, I am a ship completely beautiful.
Gblɔ nya na Tiro, du si wotu ɖe atsiaƒu ƒe agbo nu, asitsala, na ame siwo le ƒuta. Alea Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Ègblɔ be, ‘Tiro, mede blibo le nyonyo me.’

7 The best linen with needlework from Egypt was your sail, stretched out to be a flag for you; blue and purple from the sea-lands of Elishah gave you shade.

“Tarsistɔwo ƒe tɔdziʋuwoe tsɔa wò adzɔnuwo. Wò adzɔnuwo sɔ gbɔ le atsiaƒu la dzi.
26 Your boatmen have taken you into great waters: you have been broken by the east wind in the heart of the seas.
Wò ʋukulawo ku wò yi atsiaƒu dzi. Ke ɣedzeƒeya agbã wò ɖe atsiaƒu titina, afli wò wuliwuli.
27 Your wealth and your goods, the things in which you do trade, your seamen and those guiding your ships, those who make your boards watertight, and those who do business with your goods, and all your men of war who are in you, with all who have come together in you, will go down into the heart of the seas in the day of your downfall.

28 At the sound of the cry of your ships' guides, the boards of the ship will be shaking.

29 And all the boatmen, the seamen and those who are expert at guiding a ship through the sea, will come down from their ships and take their places on the land;
Ame siwo wɔa wò akɔfawo ŋu dɔ la, agble woƒe tɔdziʋuwo ɖi, ʋukulawo kple tɔdzidɔwɔlawo katã atsi tsitre ɖe ƒuta.
30 And their voices will be sounding over you, and crying bitterly they will put dust on their heads, rolling themselves in the dust:
Woakɔ woƒe gbe dzi, eye woafa avi vevie ɖe tawò, woakɔ ʋuʋudedi ɖe woƒe tawo dzi, eye woamli le dzowɔ me.
31 And they will have the hair of their heads cut off because of you, and will put haircloth on their bodies, weeping for you with bitter grief in their souls, even with bitter sorrow.
Woalũ ta ɖe tawò, eye woata akpanya. Woafa avi ɖe tawò kple luʋɔ ƒe vevesese kple konyifafa vevie.
32 And in their weeping they will make a song of grief for you, sorrowing over you and saying, Who is like Tyre, who has come to an end in the deep sea?
Ne wofa avi, eye wofa konyi ɖe tawò la, woakpa konyifaha aɖe ɖe ŋuwò be, Ame kae wona wòzi ɖoɖoe kpɔ abe Tiro, du si atsiaƒu ƒo xlãe ene?
33 When your goods went out over the seas, you made numbers of peoples full; the wealth of the kings of the earth was increased with your great wealth and all your goods.
Esi wò adzɔnuwo yi ƒu dzi la, èna dukɔ geɖewo ɖi ƒo. Ètsɔ wò hotsui gbogbo ɖi ƒo na anyigbadzifiawo.
34 Now that you are broken by the seas in the deep waters, your goods and all your people will go down with you.
Azɔ la, atsiaƒu na nègba gudugudu le tsiwo ƒe gogloƒe, wò adzɔnuwo kple wò amewo katã woyi to kple wò.
35 All the people of the sea-lands are overcome with wonder at you, and their kings are full of fear, their faces are troubled.
Ƒutatɔwo katã ƒe nu ku ɖe ŋuwò; woƒe fiawo le dzodzom nyanyanya kple ŋɔdzi, eye woyɔ mo kple vɔvɔ̃.
36 Those who do business among the peoples make sounds of surprise at you; you have become a thing of fear, you have come to an end for ever.
Asitsalawo le dukɔwo dome le fewu ɖum le ŋuwò. Èva ɖo wò nuwuwu si dzi ŋɔ, eye màganɔ anyi o.”
