Ezeekyeri 27
1 Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying:
2 “Kaakano, ggwe omwana w’omuntu tandika okukungubagira Ttuulo.
And thou, son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre,
3 Oyogere eri Ttuulo, ekiri awayingirirwa mu nnyanja, omusuubuzi ow’amawanga ag’oku ttale ery’ennyanja, nti bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “‘Ggwe Ttuulo oyogera nti, “Natuukirira mu bulungi.”
and say unto Tyre: O thou that art situate at the entries of the sea, and traffickest with the peoples in many isles, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou, Tyre, hast said, I am perfect in beauty.
4 Amatwale go gakoma mu nnyanja wakati, era n’abaakuzimba baakola omulimu ogw’ettendo.
Thy borders are in the heart of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.
5 Baakola embaawo zo zonna mu miberosi gya Seniri, ne baddira emivule egy’e Lebanooni ne bakolamu omulongooti.
They made all thy double boards of cypress-trees of Senir; they took cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee.
6 Ne bakola enkasi zo okuva mu myera egya Basani, n’emmanga zo, bazikola mu nzo, ez’oku bizinga ebya Kittimu, nga bazaaliiridde n’amasanga.
Of the oaks of Bashan did they make thine oars; they made thy benches of ivory, inlaid in box-wood, out of the isles of Chittim.
7 Ettanga lyo lyali lya linena aliko omudalizo eryava mu Misiri, era lyakozesebwanga ebendera; n’engoye zo zaali za bbululu n’ez’effulungu ezaaba ku ttale erya Erisa ekyali ku mabbali g’ennyanja.
Byssus with broidered work from Egypt was thy sail, to serve thee for a banner; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was thine awning.
8 Abasajja b’e Sidoni ne Aluwadi be baakubanga enkasi, n’abasajja bo abamanyirivu, ggwe Ttuulo, be baali abalunnyanja.

9 Abasajja abazira ab’e Gebali n’abagezigezi baaberanga mu ggwe, era ng’omulimu gwabwe kunyweza emiguwa gy’ebyombo; ebyombo byonna eby’oku nnyanja n’abagoba baabyo bajjanga okusuubula naawe; nga bagula ebyamaguzi byo.

Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters; the east wind hath broken thee in the heart of the seas.
27 Obugagga bwo n’ebyamaguzi byo n’ebikozesebwa byo, n’abalunnyanja bo, n’abagoba bo, n’abasuubuzi bo n’abaserikale bo bonna na buli muntu ali ku kyombo balibbira wakati mu nnyanja ku lunaku kw’oligwiira ku kabenje.
Thy substance, and thy markets, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, they that repair thy leaks, and they that barter with thee, and all thy men of war that are in thee, along with all thine assemblage which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the heart of the seas in the day of thy fall.

And all that handle the oar, the mariners, all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships; they shall stand upon the land,
30 Baliyimusa amaloboozi gaabwe ne bakukaabira nnyo; era baliteeka enfuufu ku mitwe gyabwe ne beevulunga mu vvu.
and shall cause their voice to be heard over thee, and shall cry bitterly; and they shall cast up dust upon their heads; they shall wallow themselves in ashes.
31 Balikumwera emitwe gyabwe, era Balyambala ebibukutu. Balikukaabira n’emmeeme ezennyamidde nga bakukungubaga n’emitima egijjudde ennyiike.
And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird themselves with sackcloth; and they shall weep for thee in bitterness of soul with bitter mourning.

And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, [saying, ] Who is like Tyre, like her that is destroyed in the midst of the sea?

When thy wares went forth over the seas, thou filledst many peoples; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the abundance of thy substance and of thy merchandise.
34 Kaakano ennyanja ekumazeewo, mu buziba bw’amazzi; ebyamaguzi byo n’ab’omu kyombo kyo bonna babbidde naawe.
In the time [when] thou art broken by the seas, in the depths of the waters, thy merchandise and all thine assemblage in the midst of thee have fallen.

All the inhabitants of the isles are amazed at thee, and their kings are horribly afraid, [their] countenance is troubled.

The merchants among the peoples hiss at thee; thou art become a terror, and thou shalt never be any more.
