Ezeekyeri 27
1 Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying,
2 “Kaakano, ggwe omwana w’omuntu tandika okukungubagira Ttuulo.
“You, son of man, take up a lamentation over 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 tell Tyre, ‘You who dwell at the entry of the sea, who are the merchant of the peoples to many islands, the Lord Yahweh says: “You, Tyre, have said, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’
4 Amatwale go gakoma mu nnyanja wakati, era n’abaakuzimba baakola omulimu ogw’ettendo.
Your borders are in the heart of the seas. Your builders have perfected your 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.
They have made your oars of the oaks of Bashan. They have made your benches of ivory inlaid in cypress wood from the islands 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.

and will cause their voice to be heard over you, and will cry bitterly. They will cast up dust on their heads. They will wallow in the ashes.

All the inhabitants of the islands are astonished at you, and their kings are horribly afraid. They are troubled in their face.

The merchants among the peoples hiss at you. You have come to a terrible end, and you will be no more.”’”
