< Ezekiel 27 >
1 Yahweh said this to me:
BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout a pha teh,
2 “You human, sing a funeral song about Tyre.
tami capa, Taire khuinae kalung hah phueng haw.
3 [The city of] is located [on an island] at the edge of the sea, and their merchants (traded/bought and sold goods) with people-groups [who live] along many seacoasts. This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say [that you should tell them]: ‘You [people of] Tyre said that your [city] was very beautiful.
Taire koevah, oe nang talî teng e kho na sak nang, talî tengpam ram moi kapap dawk hno ouk ka yawt e, Bawipa Jehovah ni nang koevah hettelah lawk a dei, Oe nang Taire, meihawinae kuep hoi ka meihawi doeh na ti na ou.
4 You controlled what was bought and sold by people who lived along the sea. Those who built your [city] caused it to become very beautiful.
Na khori ni talî lungui vah a takhi katang doeh. Nang na kasakkung ni hoe na hawi sak poung doeh.
5 You were like [SIM] a huge ship that was built from the from pine/cypress [trees] on Hermon [Mountain]. Then they took cedar [wood] from Lebanon to make a mast for the ship.
Nang e thingpheknaw pueng teh Seir hmaica thing hoi sak teh, nange long rahim vah Lebanon thing kahawipoung e hah a la awh.
6 They carved your oars from oak trees from the Bashan [region]. They made the deck from cypress/pine wood from Cyprus [island], and they covered [the decks] with ivory.
Bashan lae kathennaw hoi long mawngnae a sak awh teh, Kittim tuilum hoi a la awh teh, kasaino hoi ratu thing hoi a sak awh.
7 The sails for the ship were made from fine embroidered linen from Egypt, and those sails were like flags that people could see [far away]. For shade they [hung pieces of] blue and purple cloth [brought] from [people living on] Cyprus [island].
Izip ram dawk pathoup e loukloukkaang e hni a yap awh teh, Elisha tuilum koehoi a la awh e a van khu e hni, kamthim, paling hoi a sak.
8 Men from Sidon and Arvad [cities] pulled the oars; the men who steered the boat were skilled men from Tyre.
Nange long kamawngkung Zidon Aravadnaw doeh, Oe Taire nang long kamawngkung hah tami a lungkaangnaw doeh.
9 Experienced craftsmen from Byblos [city on the coast] (did the caulking/filled the spaces between the planks in the sides) of the ship. Sailors from many countries came in their ships to buy and sell goods there.
Gebal kacue hoi kusatkathoum hah nange long kasakkungnaw doeh. Tuipui longnaw hoi, taminaw ni ahnimouh koe e pouknae ouk a hei awh.
10 Men from [as far away as] Persia, Lydia, and Libya were [soldiers] in your army. They hung their shields and helmets on [the walls of] your [city], and that caused people to admire your city.
Nange Taran katukkung na ransahu Persia, Lydia, hoi Libianaw doeh. Bahling hoi sumluhuem hah a sin awh teh, nang na kapathoupkung lah a coung.
11 Men from Arvad and Helech [cities were watchmen] on the walls [of your city]; men from Gammad [town] were in your towers. They [also] hung their shields on your walls; they also caused your [city] to be very beautiful.
Nange rapannaw dawkvah, na ransahu Arvadnaw hoi a kâcui awh, nange imrasang karingkung Gammadnaw ni bahlingnaw hah rapan petkâkalup lah a bang awh teh, nang na kapathoupkung lah ao awh.
12 Because of the many things that you had [to trade], men from Tarshish [in Spain] sent merchants who brought silver, iron, tin, and lead to trade for things that you had.
Hnopai moikapap na tawn dawkvah, Taire hah na hno yorankung doeh. na hnopai a ran e lahoi a kutnaw dawk a poe awh. Ngun, sum, samphei, konlawknaw hai,
13 [Merchants from] Greece, Tubal, and Meshech brought slaves and things made from bronze to trade for things that you had.

15 Merchants came to you from Rhodes [island]. [People from] nations along the coast traded with you; they brought (ivory/elephant tusks) and [valuable black] ebony [wood] to trade for things that you had.
Nange na hno karankung teh Dedannaw doeh. Talî rai e hmuen tangkuem koe na hno yonae hmuen lah ao. Kasaino hoi Eboni nang koe a yonae hmuen lah ao.
16 Because you had very many things [to trade], people from Syria brought to you valuable turquoise stones, purple [cloth], embroidered [cloth], fine linen [cloth], and [jewelry made from] coral and rubies to trade for your things.
Hnopai moikapap na tawn awh dawkvah, Edom teh nang koe kâkuen e lah ao. Emerald talung aphu kaawm e hni paling pathoup e hni, loukloukkaang e, dingyin, âthi talung a yoran awh.
17 Men from Judah and Israel brought wheat from Minnith [city in Ammon], and figs, honey, [olive] oil, and ointment to trade for your things.

18 Because you had very many things [to trade], men from Damascus brought wine from Helbon [town] and white wool from the Zahar [area] to trade for many things that you had.
Hnopai moikapap a tawn kecu dawkvah, Damaskas hah nang koe yorankung lah ao. Helbon misurtui hoi tumuen hoi a kâthung awh.
19 Greek men from the Uzal [area] brought things made of iron, and cassia [spice], and [fragrant] calamus [seeds] to trade for things that you had.
Uzal misurtui hah a sin awh teh, na hnopainaw hah a ran awh. Loukloukkaang e sum, nakzik hoi kacing hai a yoran awh e lah ao.
20 [Merchants came from] Dedan [in southern Edom] bringing saddle blankets to trade for things that you had.

21 Men from Arabia and all the rulers of the Kedar [region] sent merchants to trade lambs and rams and male goats for things that you had.

22 Merchants from Sheba and Raamah [in Arabia] brought many kinds of very good spices and jewels and gold to exchange for things that you had.
Sheba hoi Raamah hno kayawtnaw doeh. Hmuitui, kahawipoung e naw hoi talung aphu kaawm e phunkuep hoi sui hoi a yoran awh.
23 [Men came from] Haran, Canneh, Eden, Sheba, Asshur and Kilmad [in Mesopotamia] with their goods.
Haran, Kanneth, Eden, Sheba hno kayawtkungnaw doeh. Assiria hoi Kilmad hno kayawtkung hah nang koe yorannae kasaknaw doeh.
24 They brought pretty things to trade: Blue cloth, embroidered cloth, and rugs of [many] colors that were [rolled up and] tied with ropes.
Hotnaw niteh, kahawi e hnicu, hninaw hoi pathoup e hni, a em kaawm e hniphai hoi, ka khawpounge tangron vei e, ka khawpounge lah na hno kuemnae dawkvah a hruek awh.
25 Cargo ships from Tarshish carried [all] those things that you traded; and the warehouses on your island were full of all those things.’”
Tarshish long hah na hnopai kaphawtkung doeh. Moikapap na pâkhueng teh, talî dawkvah bawilennae hah na hmu.
26 “‘The men who row your boats took [the ships full of] cargo out on the stormy seas. But the strong east wind wrecked those cargo boats.
Nange long kamawngkung ni, talî tuicapa dawk a kâenkhai teh, Kanîtholae kahlî ni talî lungui vah kahmat lah a palek.
27 Everything in the boats (was lost/sank to the bottom of the sea)— all the valuable cargo [DOU] and [many of] [HYP] the sailors and ship pilots, the ship workers and merchants and soldiers. On the day that the ships were wrecked, many of those on the ships sank to the bottom of the sea.
Nang teh na rak hnin vah, na hnopainaw hoi hno na yonae naw hoi, na long dawk e taminaw long kamawngkung hoi, taminaw hoi kasakkung hno kayawtnaw hoi a ransanaw, nang koe kaawm e hoi a thung kaawm e pueng hoi, talî lungui be na bo awh han.
28 [The people in cities along] the coast trembled when they heard your ship pilots cry out.
Nange long kamawngnaw a hramnae pawlawk dawkvah, nang koe kaawm e hah a pâyaw awh.
29 All the men who remained who pulled the oars left the ships; the sailors and pilots [go to the shore and] stand on the beach.
Long mawngnae ka kuen e pueng hoi, long dawk e taminaw hoi, talî dawk lam ka patue e pueng hah, a kum awh teh, tuiteng vah a kangdue awh.
30 They cry aloud because of [what has happened to] your [wealth], and they weep bitterly. They throw dirt on their heads and roll around in ashes.
Nange kong dawk ka thai lah, lawk kacaipounglah lungmathoe laihoi a ka awh han. A lû dawk vaiphu kâphuen awh laihoi, vaiphu dawk a kâkaawk awh han.
31 They shave their heads to show that they are very sad because of [what has happened to] you, and they put on rough sackcloth. They weep for you very bitterly and mourn for you.
A samnaw hai a ngaw awh vaiteh, burihni a kâkhu awh vaiteh, lung ka mathout poung lahoi nang hanelah puenghoi a khuika awh han.
32 While they wail and mourn because of what has happened to you, they sing this sad funeral song: “There was certainly never [RHQ] a city like Tyre that now is silent, covered by the waves of the sea.”
Talai a lungui karawk e, khopui Taire kho api kho hoi maw a kâvan.
33 The goods that your merchants traded were things that pleased the people of many countries. Kings in very distant places became rich from the wealth that they obtained from trading with you.
Nang e hnopai pueng teh, talî lam lahoi a ceikhai navah, taminaw a lungtang sak awh, moikapap e hno na hnopai lahoi siangpahrangnaw na bawi sak.
34 But now your city is like a ship [MET] that is wrecked in the sea, and everything that was in it is broken, at the bottom of the sea. All of your cargo and your sailors have sunk to the bottom of the sea along with the ships.
Atu teh, nang teh talî dawk thoseh, na yo han e hnopainaw hai thoseh, tuicapa e lungui a kâkhoe teh nang koe kaawmnaw pueng be a rak awh.
35 All the people who live along the seacoast are appalled/horrified because of what has happened to you. Their kings are very horrified, [causing] their faces to be twisted [as they watch].
Tuilum e tami pueng teh, hote hno dawk a kângai a ru awh. Siangpahrangnaw teh, a minhmai a paling awh teh, a pawngmuen rueng a thaw awh.
36 The merchants of the [other] nations shake their heads [because it is difficult for them to believe what has happened]; your city has disappeared, and it will not exist any more.’”
Alouklouke hno kayawtnaw ni nang na pacekpahleknae lawk a dei awh. Nang teh taki na tho poung toe, bout na kamphawng mahoeh toe, telah na khui na ka khai awh han, telah a ti.
