< Ezekieli 27 >

1 Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, cakaya nĩ ũndũ wa Turo.
“Son of man, sing a funeral song for Tyre.
3 Ĩra Turo, itũũra rĩu rĩrĩ itoonyero-inĩ rĩa iria, rĩu rĩonjoranagia na andũ a ndwere-inĩ nyingĩ cia iria atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “‘Uugaga atĩrĩ, wee Turo, “Niĩ thakarĩte ngarĩkia.”
Tell Tyre, the city that stands at the gateway to the sea, supplying goods to many overseas nations, that this is what the Lord God says: Tyre, you say to yourself, ‘I'm so beautiful!’
4 Wathani waku warĩ o kũu iria gatagatĩ; aaki aku nĩo maatũmire ũthaka waku ũkinyanĩre.
Your borders extend far across the sea. Your builders put you together perfectly like a beautiful ship.
5 Maagũthondekeire mbaũ ciaku ciothe na mĩkarakaba kuuma Seniru; nĩmooire mĩtarakwa ya kuuma Lebanoni nĩguo magũthondekere mũtĩ wa kĩbebero.
They built you with pine timber from Mount Hermon. They used a cedar from Lebanon to make your mast.
6 Nayo mĩtĩ ya gũtwarithia marikabu makĩmĩthondeka na mĩgandi kuuma Bashani; nacio mbaũ cia mĩthithinda cioimĩte ndwere-inĩ cia iria rĩa Kitimu, magĩgwakĩra nacio marikabu thĩinĩ, igemetio na mĩguongo.
They made your oars with oaks from Bashan. They had wood from the island of Cyprus brought to make your deck and inlaid it with ivory.
7 Taama mwega wa gatani ũrĩa mũgemie wa kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri nĩguo warĩ gĩtama gĩaku gĩa gũtwara marikabu, na noguo warĩ bendera yaku; ciandarũa ciaku cia kũhumbĩra igũrũ na cio ciarĩ cia rangi wa bururu na wa ndathi, kuuma ndwere-inĩ cia iria mwena wa Elisha.
They made your sail with the best linen from Egypt—this was your flag that everyone recognized. They used cloth dyed blue and purple from the coastlands of Elishah to make your awnings.

Men from Sidon and Arvad did the rowing in your ship. You had your own skilled sailors from Tyre.

Expert craftsmen from Gebal were onboard to repair any leaks. All the other ships at sea came to trade with you and their sailors bartered for your goods.
10 “‘Andũ a Perisia, na Ludu, na Putu nĩo maatungataga marĩ thigari mbũtũ-inĩ ciaku cia ita. Maacuuragia ngo na ngũbia ciao cia kĩgera thingo-inĩ ciaku, igakũrehagĩra riiri.

Men of Arvad and Helech defended all your city walls, while those from Gammad protected your towers. They hung their shields all around your walls. They made you so successful.
12 “‘Andũ a Tarishishi nĩmarutithanirie wĩra wa wonjoria nawe nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa warĩ na ũtonga mũnene wa indo; nĩmakũũranagia indo ciaku cia wonjoria na betha, na kĩgera, na mabati, na ngocorai.

16 “‘Ningĩ andũ a Suriata nĩmarutithanirie wĩra wa wonjoria nawe tondũ wa indo ciaku kũingĩha; nĩmakũũranirie indo ciaku cia wonjoria na tũhiga twa thumarati, na mataama ma rangi wa ndathi, na nguo iria ngʼemie, na gatani ĩrĩa njega, na maricani, o na tũhiga twa goro tũrĩa tũtune.

25 “‘Marikabu cia Tarishishi nĩcio igũkuuagĩra indo ciaku cia wonjoria. Ũiyũrĩrĩirio mĩrigo mĩritũ o kũu iria gatagatĩ.
Trade ships from Tarshish transported your goods. You were like a ship sailing the sea, filled with heavy cargo.
26 Andũ aku arĩa matwarithagia marikabu magũtwaraga maria-inĩ gatagatĩ. No rĩrĩ, rũhuho rwa mwena wa irathĩro nĩrũgakuunanga ũtuĩkange icunjĩ ũrĩ kũu iria gatagatĩ.
Your rowers took you a long way out on the water, but the east wind broke you apart in there in the open ocean.

You've lost everything! You wealth, your goods, your cargo, your crew of sailors, officers, and repairmen, your traders and all the soldiers you had, along with everyone else on board, fall into the depths of the sea on the day of your shipwreck.
28 Mabũrũri marĩa mariganĩtie na iria nĩmagathingitha hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aruti wĩra aku a marikabu-inĩ magaakaya.
The land around shakes when your sailors scream.
29 Arĩa othe mahutanagia na mĩiko ya gũtwarithia marikabu nĩmagatiganĩria marikabu ciao; thigari cia iria-inĩ na arĩa othe marutaga wĩra marikabu-inĩ makaarũgama hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria.
All the rowers abandon their ships. The sailors and all the ships' officers stand on the shore.
30 Makaanĩrĩra, makũrĩrĩre marĩ na ruo; makeitĩrĩria rũkũngũ mĩtwe, na megaragarie mũhu-inĩ.
They shout out for you and burst out crying. They mourn for you by throwing dust on their heads and rolling in ashes.
31 Makenja mĩtwe yao nĩ ũndũ waku, na mehumbe nguo cia makũnia. Nĩmagakũrĩrĩra marĩ na ruo rwa ngoro, na macakae nĩ kĩeha.
They shave their heads for you and clothe themselves in sackcloth. They weep for you, crying out in agony and heartfelt mourning
32 Na hĩndĩ ĩyo maragirĩka magĩgũcakayagĩra-rĩ, nĩmakambĩrĩria macakaya magũkoniĩ, makiugaga atĩrĩ: “Nũũ ũrĩ wakirio ta Turo, athiũrũrũkĩirio nĩ iria?”
As they weep and wail over you, they sing a funeral song for you: ‘Who could compare to Tyre, now destroyed out in the sea?
33 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa indo ciaku cia wonjoria ciatwaragwo iria-inĩ-rĩ, nĩwaiganithirie mabataro ma ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ; nĩ ũndũ wa ũtonga waku mũnene, na ũingĩ wa indo ciaku cia wonjoria, ũgĩtongia athamaki a thĩ.
You made many people happy when they received your goods from far across the sea. You made the kings of the earth rich with all your valuable goods and products.
34 Rĩu nĩwanangĩtwo nĩ iria o kũu maaĩ-inĩ marĩa mariku; nĩũtoonyereire hamwe na indo ciaku cia wonjoria, o na arĩa othe mũtwaranaga nao.
Now you have been shipwrecked by the sea, sunk in deep water, and your cargo and your people have gone down with you.
35 Arĩa othe matũũraga mabũrũri-inĩ marĩa marĩ ndwere-inĩ cia iria nĩmamakĩte nĩ ũndũ waku; athamaki ao mainainaga nĩ kũmaka, na magathita ithiithi nĩ guoya.
Everyone living on the coastlands is shocked at what happened to you. Their kings are horrified; their faces twisted with fear.
36 Nao onjoria marĩ gatagatĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ nĩmarakũnyũrũria; nĩũkinyĩte mũthia wa kũguoyohithania, nawe ndũgacooka kuonwo rĩngĩ.’”
The traders of the nations hiss at you in derision; disaster has brought you down and you're finished forever.”
