Ezekieli 27
1 Tena neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
2 “Sasa wewe, mwanadamu, anza kuomboleza kuhusiana na Tiro,
Now, 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 to Tyre, O thou that art situated at the entry of the sea, [which art] a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O Tyre, thou hast said, I [am] of perfect beauty.
4 Mipaka yako iko kwenye moyo wa bahari; majengo yako yamekamilisha uzuri wako.
Thy borders [are] in the midst 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 [ship] -boards of fir-trees of Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon 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 have they made thy oars; the company of the Ashurites have made thy benches [of] ivory, [brought] out of the isles of Chittim.
7 Tanga zako zilikuwa za rangi za kitani kutoka Misri ambazo zilikuwa kama beramu!
Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered thee.
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 mariners: thy wise [men], O Tyre, [that] were in thee, 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 its wise [men] 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.
They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in thy army, thy military men: they hung 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 thy army [were] upon thy walls on all sides, and the Gammadims were in thy towers: they hung their shields upon thy walls on every side; they have made thy beauty perfect.

The men of Dedan [were] thy merchants; many isles [were] the merchandise of thy hand: they brought thee [for] a present 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 the wares of thy making: they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate.

Judah, and the land of Israel, they [were] thy merchants: they traded in thy market in 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 in the multitude of the wares of thy making, for the multitude of all riches; in 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.

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 all sorts [of things], in blue clothes, 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 did sing of thee in thy market; and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst 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 midst 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 fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and all thy military men, that [are] in thee, and in all thy company which [is] in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin.
28 Miji iliyopo kwenye bahari sauti itatetemeka kulia kwa rubani zako;
The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots.
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 against 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 utterly bald for thee, and gird themselves with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart [and] bitter wailing.
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], What [city is] like Tyre, like the 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 wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many people; 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 [when] thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall fall.
35 Wote wakaao pwani walikuogopa, na wafalme wao kuvunjwa vunjwa katika kitisho! Nyuso zao zimetetemeka!
All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee, and their kings shall be terribly afraid, they shall be troubled in [their] countenance.
36 Wafanya biashara wa meli wa watu wakuzomea; umekuwa tishio, na hutakuwepo tena milele.”
The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and never [shalt be] any more.
