Jezekiel 27
1 And the word of the Lord came to me saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
2 And you, son of man, take up a lamentation against Sor;
“Kaakano, ggwe omwana w’omuntu tandika okukungubagira Ttuulo.
3 and you shall say to Sor that dwells at the entrance of the sea, to the mart of the nations coming from many islands, Thus says the Lord to Sor; You have said, I have clothed myself with my beauty.
Oyogere eri Ttuulo, ekiri awayingirirwa mu nnyanja, omusuubuzi ow’amawanga ag’oku ttale ery’ennyanja, nti bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “‘Ggwe Ttuulo oyogera nti, “Natuukirira mu bulungi.”

6 They made your oars [of wood] out of the land of Basan; your sacred utensils they made of ivory, your shady houses of wood from the isles of Chetiim.

25 Ships were your merchants, in abundance, with your trading [population]: and you were filled and very heavily loaded in the heart of the sea.
“‘Ebyombo eby’e Talusiisi bye byatambuzanga ebyamaguzi byo. Era wajjula n’oba n’ebintu bingi wakati mu nnyanja.
26 Your rowers have brought you into great waters: the south wind has broken you in the heart of the sea.
Abakubi b’enkasi bakutwala awali amayengo amangi. Naye omuyaga ogw’Ebuvanjuba gulikumenyeramenyera wakati mu nnyanja.
27 Your forces, and your gain, and that of your traders, and your rowers, and your pilots, and your counsellors, and they that traffic with you, and all your warriors that are in you: and all your company in the midst of you shall perish in the heart of the sea, in the day of your fall.
Obugagga bwo n’ebyamaguzi byo n’ebikozesebwa byo, n’abalunnyanja bo, n’abagoba bo, n’abasuubuzi bo n’abaserikale bo bonna na buli muntu ali ku kyombo balibbira wakati mu nnyanja ku lunaku kw’oligwiira ku kabenje.
28 At the cry of your voice your pilots shall be greatly terrified.
Eddoboozi ly’okukaaba kw’abalunnyanja bo, kulikankanya ebyalo ebiri ku lubalama lw’ennyanja.
29 And all the rowers and the mariners shall come down from the ships, and the pilots of the sea shall stand on the land.
Abakubi b’enkasi bonna balyabulira ebyombo byabwe; n’abagoba n’abalunnyanja bonna baliyimirira ku lubalama lw’ennyanja.
30 And they shall wail over you with their voice, and cry bitterly, and put earth on their heads, and spread ashes under them.
Baliyimusa amaloboozi gaabwe ne bakukaabira nnyo; era baliteeka enfuufu ku mitwe gyabwe ne beevulunga mu vvu.
Balikumwera emitwe gyabwe, era Balyambala ebibukutu. Balikukaabira n’emmeeme ezennyamidde nga bakukungubaga n’emitima egijjudde ennyiike.
32 And their sons shall take up a [lament] for you, even a lamentation for Sor, [saying],
Balikukungubagira nga bwe bakuba ebiwoobe nga boogera nti, Ani eyali asirisibbwa nga Ttuulo eyeetooloddwa ennyanja?
33 How large a reward have you gained from the sea? you have filled nations out of your abundance; and out of your mixed merchandise you have enriched all the kings of the earth.
Bwe waweerezanga ebyamaguzi byo ku nnyanja, amawanga mangi gamalibwanga; era ne bakabaka b’ensi baagaggawazibwa eby’obugagga bwo ebingi n’ebyamaguzi byo.
34 Now are you broken in the sea, your traders are in the deep water, and all your company in the midst of you: all your rowers have fallen.
Kaakano ennyanja ekumazeewo, mu buziba bw’amazzi; ebyamaguzi byo n’ab’omu kyombo kyo bonna babbidde naawe.
35 All the dwellers in the islands have mourned over you, and their kings have been utterly amazed, and their countenance has wept.
Abantu bonna ab’oku lubalama lw’ennyanja bafunye ensisi, era ne bakabaka baabwe bajjudde entiisa tebafaananika mu maaso olw’entiisa.
36 Merchants from the nations have hissed at you; you are utterly destroyed, and shall not be any more for ever.
Abasuubuzi ab’omu mawanga bakufuuyira empa; otuuse ku nkomerero embi, so tolibeerawo nate ennaku zonna.’”
