Ezekiel 27
1 THE word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,
Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
2 Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, imba nyimbo yodandaulira Turo.
3 And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea, which art a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord God; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I am of perfect 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.’
