Jezekiel 27
1 And the word of the Lord came to me saying,
Tena neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
2 And you, son of man, take up a lamentation against Sor;
“Sasa wewe, mwanadamu, anza kuomboleza kuhusiana na Tiro,
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.

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.
Wakati bidhaa yako ilipoenda ufukweni kutoka kwenye bahari, imewarithisha watu wengi; uliwatajirisha wafalme wa dunia kwa wingi wa utajiri wako mkubwa na bidhaa!
