Ezekiel 27
1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
Tena neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
2 Now, you son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;
“Sasa wewe, mwanadamu, anza kuomboleza kuhusiana na Tiro,
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.
na mwambie Tiro, aishiye kwenye malango ya bahari, manahodha wa watu hata visiwa vingi, Bwana Yahwe asema hivi kwako: Tiro, umesema, mimi ni ukamilifu katika uzuri.'
