Ezekieli 27
1 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 « Mwana na moto, tinda nzembo ya mawa na tina na Tiri!
“Son of man, sing a funeral song for Tyre.
3 Loba na Tiri oyo ezalaka pembeni ya ebale monene, oyo esalaka mombongo elongo na bikolo nyonso, bavandi ya bisanga: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Oh engumba Tiri, olobaka: ‘Ngai, nakoka na kitoko na ngai!’
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 Etando na yo ezali kati na bibale minene; bato oyo batongaki yo nde bakomisaki yo kitoko makasi.

All the rowers abandon their ships. The sailors and all the ships' officers stand on the shore.
