Ezeekyeri 27
1 Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Kaakano, ggwe omwana w’omuntu tandika okukungubagira Ttuulo.
“Son of man, sing a funeral song 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.”
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 Amatwale go gakoma mu nnyanja wakati, era n’abaakuzimba baakola omulimu ogw’ettendo.
Your borders extend far across the sea. Your builders put you together perfectly like a beautiful ship.
5 Baakola embaawo zo zonna mu miberosi gya Seniri, ne baddira emivule egy’e Lebanooni ne bakolamu omulongooti.
They built you with pine timber from Mount Hermon. They used a cedar from Lebanon to make your mast.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.

Trade ships from Tarshish transported your goods. You were like a ship sailing the sea, filled with heavy cargo.
26 Abakubi b’enkasi bakutwala awali amayengo amangi. Naye omuyaga ogw’Ebuvanjuba gulikumenyeramenyera wakati mu nnyanja.
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.

All the rowers abandon their ships. The sailors and all the ships' officers stand on the shore.
30 Baliyimusa amaloboozi gaabwe ne bakukaabira nnyo; era baliteeka enfuufu ku mitwe gyabwe ne beevulunga mu vvu.
They shout out for you and burst out crying. They mourn for you by throwing dust on their heads and rolling in ashes.
31 Balikumwera emitwe gyabwe, era Balyambala ebibukutu. Balikukaabira n’emmeeme ezennyamidde nga bakukungubaga n’emitima egijjudde ennyiike.
They shave their heads for you and clothe themselves in sackcloth. They weep for you, crying out in agony and heartfelt mourning
32 Balikukungubagira nga bwe bakuba ebiwoobe nga boogera nti, Ani eyali asirisibbwa nga Ttuulo eyeetooloddwa ennyanja?
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 Bwe waweerezanga ebyamaguzi byo ku nnyanja, amawanga mangi gamalibwanga; era ne bakabaka b’ensi baagaggawazibwa eby’obugagga bwo ebingi n’ebyamaguzi byo.
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.

Now you have been shipwrecked by the sea, sunk in deep water, and your cargo and your people have gone down with you.

Everyone living on the coastlands is shocked at what happened to you. Their kings are horrified; their faces twisted with fear.
36 Abasuubuzi ab’omu mawanga bakufuuyira empa; otuuse ku nkomerero embi, so tolibeerawo nate ennaku zonna.’”
The traders of the nations hiss at you in derision; disaster has brought you down and you're finished forever.”
