Ezekiel 27
1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
2 Now, you son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, imba nyimbo yodandaulira Turo.
3 And say unto Tyrus, O you that are situated at the entry of the sea, which are a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus says the Lord GOD; O Tyrus, you have 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.’
4 Your borders are in the midst of the seas, your builders have perfected your beauty.

31 And they shall make themselves utterly bald for you, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for you with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.
