Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
2 'And thou, son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre,
“Nwa nke mmadụ, bulie abụ akwa banyere Taịa,
3 and say unto Tyre, that dwelleth at the entry of the sea, that is the merchant of the peoples unto many isles: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Thou, O Tyre, hast said: I am of perfect beauty.

25 The ships of Tarshish brought thee tribute for thy merchandise; so wast thou replenished, and made very heavy in the heart of the seas.
“‘Ụgbọ mmiri niile nke Tashish bụ ndị na-ebu ihe ahịa gị. I jupụtara nʼihe ahịa, gị obodo dị nʼetiti mmiri.

30 And shall cause their voice to be heard over thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall roll themselves in the ashes;
Ha ga-eti mkpu akwa, ha ga-akwa akwa nke ukwuu, werekwa aja wụkwasị onwe ha nʼisi, na-atụrụkwa onwe ha na ntụ.
31 And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee in bitterness of soul with bitter lamentation.
Ha ga-akpụchapụ agịrị isi ha, yirikwa akwa mkpe, kwaa akwa nʼihi ịdị ilu nke mkpụrụobi ha. Ha ga-etikwa aka ha nʼobi.

33 When thy wares came forth out of the seas, thou didst fill many peoples; with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise didst thou enrich the kings of the earth.

35 All the inhabitants of the isles are appalled at thee, and their kings are horribly afraid, they are troubled in their countenance;
