Ezekieli 27
1 Tena neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2 “Sasa wewe, mwanadamu, anza kuomboleza kuhusiana na Tiro,
And thou, 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 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 Mipaka yako iko kwenye moyo wa bahari; majengo yako yamekamilisha uzuri wako.
Thy borders are in the heart of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.
5 Wametengeneza mbao nene na pana kwa mvinje kutoka Mlima Hermoni; wamechukua mkangazi kutoka Lebanoni kuufanya mlingoti.
They have made all thy planks of fir trees from Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make a mast 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 have they made thine oars; they have made thy benches of ivory inlaid in boxwood, from the isles of Kittim.
7 Tanga zako zilikuwa za rangi za kitani kutoka Misri ambazo zilikuwa kama beramu!
Of fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was thy sail, that it might be to thee for an ensign; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was thine awning.
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 rowers: thy wise men, O Tyre, were in thee, they 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 ancients of Gebal and the wise men thereof were in thee thy calkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to occupy thy merchandise.
10 Uajemi, Ludi, na Putu walikuwa katika jeshi lako, watu wako wa vita. Walining'iniza ngao na chapeo ndani yako; walionyesha uzuri wako.
Persia and Lud and Put were in thine army, thy men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy comeliness.
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 thine army were upon thy walls round about, and the Gammadim were in thy towers: they hanged their shields upon thy walls round about; they have perfected 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!

They of the house of Togarmah traded for thy wares with horses and war-horses and mules.

The men of Dedan were thy traffickers: many isles were the mart of thine hand: they brought thee in exchange horns of ivory and ebony.
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 merchant by reason of the multitude of thy handyworks: they traded for thy wares with emeralds, purple, and broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and rubies.

Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy traffickers: they traded for thy merchandise wheat of Minnith, and pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm:
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 merchant for the multitude of thy handyworks, by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches; with the wine of Helbon, and white wool.
19 Dani na Yavani kutoka Uzali walikwandalia bidhaa ya chuma kilichofuliwa, na mdalasini, na mchai. Hivi vikawa bidhaa yako.

Haran and Canneh and Eden, the traffickers of Sheba, Asshur [and] Chilmad were they traffickers.
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 traffickers in choice wares, in wrappings of blue and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords and made of cedar, among thy merchandise.
25 Merikebu za Tarshishi zilikuwa misafara ya bidhaa yako! Hivyo ulijaa, shehena nzito katika moyo wa bahari!
The ships of Tarshish were thy caravans for thy merchandise: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the heart of the seas.
26 Wapiga makasia wako walikuleta kwenye bahari kuu mno; upepo wa mashariki umekuvunja kati yao.
Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: 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 riches, and thy wares, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that are in thee, with all thy company which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the heart of the seas in the day of thy ruin.
28 Miji iliyopo kwenye bahari sauti itatetemeka kulia kwa rubani zako;
At the sound of the cry of thy pilots the suburbs shall shake.
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, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land,
30 Kisha watakufanya kusikiliza sauti yao na kulia kwa uchungu; watarusha vumbi juu ya vichwa vyao. Watabingirika katika majivu.
and shall cause their voice to be heard over thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes:
31 Watanyo vichwa vyao upara kwa ajili yako na kujifunga wenyewe kwa nguo za magunia, na watalia kwa sauti.
and they shall make themselves bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee in bitterness of soul with bitter mourning.
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 in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, [saying], Who is there like Tyre, like her that is brought to silence 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 wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many peoples; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise.
34 Lakini wakati ulipo vunjwavunjwa kwa bahari, kwa vilindi vya maji, bidhaa yako na wafanya kazi wako wote kuzama!
In the time that thou wast broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, thy merchandise and all thy company did fall 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 their kings are horribly afraid, they are troubled in their countenance.
36 Wafanya biashara wa meli wa watu wakuzomea; umekuwa tishio, na hutakuwepo tena milele.”
The merchants among the peoples hiss at thee; thou art become a terror, and thou shalt never be any more.
