1 Le ƒe wuiɖekɛlia me, le ɣletia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi la, Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
And it was in one [plus] ten year on [day] one of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 “Ame vi, esi Tirotɔwo gblɔ le Yerusalem ŋu be, ‘Ahã! Dukɔwo ƒe agbo kaka, eye woƒe ʋɔtruwo ʋu nam. Azɔ esi eƒe dua gbã ta la, nuwo adze edzi nam’ ta la,

5 Le atsiaƒu me la, azu ɖɔsiaƒe. Nyee ƒo nu; Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe. Azu nuhaha na dukɔwo,
A spreading place of nets it will be in [the] middle of the sea for I I have spoken [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and it will become spoil for the nations.
6 eye eƒe duwo le anyigba la dzi me tɔwo atsi yinu. Ekema woanya be nyee nye Yehowa.”

And I will make you into bareness of rock a spreading place of nets you will be not you will be built again for I Yahweh I have spoken [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
15 “Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ na Tiroe nye si. ‘Ɖe wò ƒuta maʋuʋu kpekpekpe le wò anyidzedze ƒe ɖiɖi ta, ne abixɔlawo le hũu ɖem, eye amewuwu le edzi yim le mewò oa?
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to Tyre ¿ not - from [the] sound of downfall your when groan [the] fatally wounded when is killed a slaughter in [the] midst of you will they quake the islands.
16 Ekema dziɖula siwo le ƒuta duwo me la aɖi le woƒe fiazikpuiwo dzi, eye woaɖe woƒe fiawuwo kple awu ŋɔŋɔewo ada ɖi. Vɔvɔ̃ aɖo wo, woanɔ anyigba, anɔ dzodzom nyanyanya ɣeawo katã ɣi, eye woƒe nu aku ɖe ŋuwò.
And they will go down from on thrones their all [the] princes of the sea and they will remove robes their and [the] clothes of multicolored cloth their they will strip off trembling - they will be clothed on the ground they will sit and they will tremble to moments and they will be appalled on you.
17 Ekema woadzi konyifahawo ɖe ŋuwò, eye woagblɔ nya siawo na wò. “‘Aleke ƒudzitɔwo gbã wò, o, du xɔŋkɔ! Ènye ŋusẽ nɔ ƒuwo dzi kpɔ, wò kple wò amewo, mienye ŋɔdzi na ame siwo katã nɔ afi ma.
And they will take up on you a lamentation and they will say to you how! you have perished O inhabited [city] from [the] seas O city that was praised which it was mighty in the sea it and inhabitants its which they gave terror their to all inhabitants its.
18 Azɔ la, wò ƒutanyigbawo le dzodzom kpekpekpe le wò anyidzegbe ta, eye vɔvɔ̃ ɖo ƒukpowo le atsiaƒu me le wò anyidzedze ta.’”
