Ezeekyeri 27
1 Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 “Kaakano, ggwe omwana w’omuntu tandika okukungubagira Ttuulo.
But thou, O 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 situated at the entrances of the sea, the merchant of the people unto many isles, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, O Tyre, thou hast indeed said, I am perfect in beauty.
4 Amatwale go gakoma mu nnyanja wakati, era n’abaakuzimba baakola omulimu ogw’ettendo.
In the heart of the seas were thy boundaries, thy builders had perfected thy beauty.
5 Baakola embaawo zo zonna mu miberosi gya Seniri, ne baddira emivule egy’e Lebanooni ne bakolamu omulongooti.

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 had they made thy oars; thy rudder had they made inlaid with ivory of boxwood, brought out of the isles of the Kittim.
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.

And cause their voice to be heard concerning thee, and cry bitterly, and cast up dust upon their heads, they wallow in the ashes;

The traders among the people shall hiss concerning thee: thou wast rendered as though thou hadst not been, and thou shalt not be any more for ever.
