Ezeekyeri 27
1 Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
The word of the LORD came again 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 dwellest at the entry of the sea, which art the merchant of the peoples unto many isles, thus saith the Lord GOD: Thou, O 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.

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 have they made thine oars; they have made thy benches of ivory inlaid in boxwood, from the isles of 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.
