Ezekieli 27
1 Tena neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 “Sasa wewe, mwanadamu, anza kuomboleza kuhusiana na Tiro,
But thou, O son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre;
3 na mwambie Tiro, aishiye kwenye malango ya bahari, manahodha wa watu hata visiwa vingi, Bwana Yahwe asema hivi kwako: Tiro, umesema, mimi ni ukamilifu katika uzuri.'
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 Mipaka yako iko kwenye moyo wa bahari; majengo yako yamekamilisha uzuri wako.
In the heart of the seas were thy boundaries, thy builders had perfected thy beauty.
5 Wametengeneza mbao nene na pana kwa mvinje kutoka Mlima Hermoni; wamechukua mkangazi kutoka Lebanoni kuufanya mlingoti.
Of the fir-trees from Senir had they built thee all thy woodwork: cedars from Lebanon had they taken to make masts for thee.
6 Wametengeneza makasia yako kutoka kwenye mialo ya Bashani; wametengeza sitaha zako kwa mbao za mvinje kutoka Kitimu, na wametengeneza kwa pembe.
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 Tanga zako zilikuwa za rangi za kitani kutoka Misri ambazo zilikuwa kama beramu!
Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was thy flag to be unto thee a sign: of blue and purple from the isles of Ellishah was thy cover.
8 Wale waliokuwa wakiishi Sidoni na Arvadi walikuwa wavuta makasia wako; wenye busara wa Tire walikuwa ndani yenu; walikuwa marubani wako.
The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy oarsmen: thy wise men, O Tyre, that were in thee, these were thy pilots.
9 Mafundistadi wenye uzoefu wa hali ya juu kutoka Gabeli walijaza mishono; meli zote za bahari na mabaharia wao miongoni mwenu walikuwa wakiwabeba manahodha kwaajili ya biashara.
The elders of Gebal and her wise men were in thee thy caulkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to carry on thy commerce.
10 Uajemi, Ludi, na Putu walikuwa katika jeshi lako, watu wako wa vita. Walining'iniza ngao na chapeo ndani yako; walionyesha uzuri wako.
They of Persia and of Lud and of Put were in thy army, thy men of war: the shield and the helmet did they hang up in thee; these gave thee thy elegance.
11 Watu wa Arvadi na Heleki katika jeshi lako walikuwa juu ya kuta zako wamekuzunguka, na watu wa Gamadi walikuwa kwenye minara yako. Walinin'giniza juu ngao zao juu ya kuta zako zote zilizokuzunguka! Wakaukamilisha uzuri wako.
The men of Arvad with thy army were upon thy walls round about, and the Gammadim were in thy towers: their quivers they hung upon thy walls round about; these made perfect thy beauty.
12 Tarshishi alikuwa mdau wa biashara pamoja nawe kwa sababu ya wingi wa utajiri wako wa kuuza mizigo: fedha, chuma, bati, na risasi. Walinunua na kuuza bidhaa za biashara!
Tharshish was thy merchant through the abundance of all kind of wealth: with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they supplied thy markets.
13 Yavani, Tubali, na Mesheki-waliwauza watumwa na katika vitu kutengeneza shaba. Walibeba bidhaa zako.
Javan, Thubal, and Meshech; these were thy merchants: with the persons of men and vessels of copper they carried on thy commerce.
14 Beth Togarma waliandaa farasi, farasi dume, na nyumbu kama kama bidhaa zako.
They of the family of Thogarmah furnished thy supplies in horses and horsemen and mules.
15 Watu wa Dedani walikuwa wafanya biashara wako kwenye pwani nyingi. Bidhaa zilikuwa mkononi mwako; walikutumia pembe, pembe za ndovu, na mpingo kama ushuru!
The men of Dedan were thy merchants; many isles fetched the merchandise from thy place: chamois horns, ivory, and ebony did they bring as presents for thee.
16 Shamu alikuwa mchuuzi katika bidhaa zako nyingi; waliandaa zumaridi, zambarau, nguo zenye rangi mbali mbali, kitambaa kizuri, lulu, na kito chekundu cha thamani kama bidhaa zako.
Syria was thy trader by reason of the multitude of thy productions: with emeralds, purple, and broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and rubies they made deposits in thy treasuries.
17 Yuda na nchi ya Israeli walikuwa wafanyabiashara pamoja nawe. Waliandaa ngano kutoka Minithi, keki, asali, mafuta, na lihamu kama bidhaa zako.
Judah, and the land of Israel, these were thy merchants: in wheat of Minnith, and balsam, and honey, and oil, and balm they carried on thy commerce.
18 Dameski alikuwa mfanya biashara wa bidhaa zako zote, za utajiri mkubwa mno, na ya divai ya Helboni na sufu ya Zahari.
Damascus was thy trader in the multitude of thy productions, for the multitude of all wealth, with the wine of Chelbon, and white wool.
19 Dani na Yavani kutoka Uzali walikwandalia bidhaa ya chuma kilichofuliwa, na mdalasini, na mchai. Hivi vikawa bidhaa yako.

20 Dedani alikuwa mchuuzi katika nguo nzuri za kutandika.
Dedan was thy merchant in precious clothes for riding on.

Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, these were the traders of thy place in lambs, and wethers, and he-goats: in these were they thy traders.
22 Wafanya biashara wa Sheba na Raama walikuja kukuuzia kila aina ya viungo vizuri katika vito vyote vya thamani; waliuza dhahabu kwa ajili ya bidhaa.
The merchants of Sheba and Ra'mah, —these were thy merchants: in the best of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold, they furnished thy supplies.
23 Harani, Kane, na Adina walikuwa wafanya biashara pamoja nawe, karibu na Sheba, Ashuru, na Kilmadi.
Charan, and Canneh, and 'Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, [and] Kilmad, were thy merchants.
24 Hawa walikuwa wachuuzi wako mapambo ya joho ya nguo za urujuani pamoja na rangi zilibuniwa, na nguo zilizo sanifiwa vizuri katika sehemu zako za soko.
These were thy merchants in ornamental wares, in cloaks of blue, and broidered work, and in chests of damask cloth, bound with cords, and packed in cedar, in thy market-place.
25 Merikebu za Tarshishi zilikuwa misafara ya bidhaa yako! Hivyo ulijaa, shehena nzito katika moyo wa bahari!
The ships of Tharshish were thy caravans in thy commerce: and thou wast made full, and becamest very rich in the heart of the seas.
26 Wapiga makasia wako walikuleta kwenye bahari kuu mno; upepo wa mashariki umekuvunja kati yao.
Into great waters brought thee those that were thy rowers: the east wind hath broken thee in the heart of the seas.
27 Utajiri wako, bidhaa, na mizigo ya biashara; wapiga makasia wako na marubani, na waunzi wa meli; wafanya biashara wako wa bidhaa na watu wote wa vita walio ndani yako, na jeshi lako-watazama kwenye kina cha bahari siku ya kuangamia kwako.
Thy wealth, and thy warehouses, thy commerce, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy caulkers, and the conductors of thy commerce, and all thy men of war that were in thee, and in all thy assemblage which was in the midst of thee, fell into the heart of the seas on the day of thy downfall.
28 Miji iliyopo kwenye bahari sauti itatetemeka kulia kwa rubani zako;
At the sound of the painful cry of thy pilots quake [thy] rural districts.
29 Wote wavutao kasia watashuka chini kutoka meli katika zao; wanamaji na marubani wote juu ya bahari watasimama juu ya nchi.
And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, come down from their ships, they stand upon the land;
30 Kisha watakufanya kusikiliza sauti yao na kulia kwa uchungu; watarusha vumbi juu ya vichwa vyao. Watabingirika katika majivu.
And cause their voice to be heard concerning thee, and cry bitterly, and cast up dust upon their heads, they wallow in the ashes;
31 Watanyo vichwa vyao upara kwa ajili yako na kujifunga wenyewe kwa nguo za magunia, na watalia kwa sauti.
And they make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird themselves with sackcloth, and they weep for thee with bitterness of heart in a bitter complaint.
32 Watakuinulia maombolezo ya kuomboleza kwa ajili yako na kuimba nyimbo za maombolezo juu yako, ni nani aliye kama Tiro, ambaye sasa ameletwa kunyamazishwa kati ya bahari?
And they take in their wailing a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, saying, Who is like Tyre, who is so utterly destroyed in the midst of the sea?
33 Wakati bidhaa yako ilipoenda ufukweni kutoka kwenye bahari, imewarithisha watu wengi; uliwatajirisha wafalme wa dunia kwa wingi wa utajiri wako mkubwa na bidhaa!
When thy supplies went forth out of the seas, thou didst satisfy many people: with the multitude of thy wealth and of thy commerce thou didst enrich the kings of the earth.
34 Lakini wakati ulipo vunjwavunjwa kwa bahari, kwa vilindi vya maji, bidhaa yako na wafanya kazi wako wote kuzama!
[Now] at the time thou art broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, thy commerce and all thy assemblage fell in the midst of thee.
35 Wote wakaao pwani walikuogopa, na wafalme wao kuvunjwa vunjwa katika kitisho! Nyuso zao zimetetemeka!
All the inhabitants of the isles are astonished at thee, and the hair of their kings stand at an end, grieved are their countenances.
36 Wafanya biashara wa meli wa watu wakuzomea; umekuwa tishio, na hutakuwepo tena milele.”
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.
