Ezekiel 27
1 The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,
Tena neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
2 “You, son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre;
“Sasa wewe, mwanadamu, anza kuomboleza kuhusiana na Tiro,
3 and tell Tyre, ‘You who dwell at the entry of the sea, who are the merchant of the peoples to many islands, the Lord GOD says: “You, Tyre, have said, ‘I am perfect in 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.'

30 and will cause their voice to be heard over you, and will cry bitterly. They will cast up dust on their heads. They will wallow in the ashes.
Kisha watakufanya kusikiliza sauti yao na kulia kwa uchungu; watarusha vumbi juu ya vichwa vyao. Watabingirika katika majivu.

Lakini wakati ulipo vunjwavunjwa kwa bahari, kwa vilindi vya maji, bidhaa yako na wafanya kazi wako wote kuzama!
35 All the inhabitants of the islands are astonished at you, and their kings are horribly afraid. They are troubled in their face.
Wote wakaao pwani walikuogopa, na wafalme wao kuvunjwa vunjwa katika kitisho! Nyuso zao zimetetemeka!
36 The merchants amongst the peoples hiss at you. You have come to a terrible end, and you will be no more.”’”
Wafanya biashara wa meli wa watu wakuzomea; umekuwa tishio, na hutakuwepo tena milele.”
