Ezekiel 27
1 Yahweh said this to me:
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
2 “You human, sing a funeral song about Tyre.
Tu ergo, fili hominis, assume super Tyrum lamentum:
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.
et dices Tyro, quæ habitat in introitu maris, negotiationi populorum ad insulas multas: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: O Tyre, tu dixisti: Perfecti decoris ego sum,
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.
et in corde maris sita. Finitimi tui qui te ædificaverunt, impleverunt decorem tuum:
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.

Divitiæ tuæ, et thesauri tui, et multiplex instrumentum tuum: nautæ tui et gubernatores tui, qui tenebant supellectilem tuam, et populo tuo præerant: viri quoque bellatores tui, qui erant in te, cum universa multitudine tua quæ est in medio tui, cadent in corde maris in die ruinæ tuæ:
28 [The people in cities along] the coast trembled when they heard your ship pilots cry out.
a sonitu clamoris gubernatorum tuorum conturbabuntur classes.
