ʻIsikieli 27

1 Naʻe toe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying:

2 “Ko eni, ʻe foha ʻoe tangata, ke ke fai ʻae tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko Taia;

And thou, son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre,

3 Pea ke pehē ki Taia, ʻa koe ʻoku tuʻu taupotu ki tahi, ko e fai fakatau ki he kakai mei he ngaahi motu lahi, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “ʻE Taia, ʻa koe kuo ke pehē ʻe koe, Ko au ʻoku ou toulekeleka haohaoa.

and say unto Tyre: O thou that art situate at the entries of the sea, and traffickest with the peoples in many isles, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou, Tyre, hast said, I am perfect in beauty.

4 ‌ʻOku aʻu atu ho ngataʻanga ki he loto tahi, pea kuo fakasanisaniʻi koe ke haohaoa ʻe hoʻo kau tufunga.

Thy borders are in the heart of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.

The ships of Tarshish were thy caravans for thy traffic; and thou wast replenished, and highly honoured, in the heart of the seas.

26 “Kuo ʻave koe ʻe hoʻo kau tauʻaʻalo ki he ngaahi vai lahi: kuo maumauʻi koe ʻi loto tahi ʻe he matangi hahake.

Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters; the east wind hath broken thee in the heart of the seas.

Thy substance, and thy markets, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, they that repair thy leaks, and they that barter with thee, and all thy men of war that are in thee, along with all thine assemblage which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the heart of the seas in the day of thy fall.

33 Naʻa ke fakamahu ʻae kakai tokolahi ʻi he ngaahi meʻa naʻe fetuku meiate koe ki he ngaahi potu tahi; naʻa ke fakakoloa ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani, ʻi he lahi ʻo hoʻo koloa mo hoʻo meʻa fakatau.

When thy wares went forth over the seas, thou filledst many peoples; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the abundance of thy substance and of thy merchandise.

34 ‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe maumauʻi koe ʻe he ngaahi peau ʻi he loloto ʻoe ngaahi vai, ʻe hinga ai mo koe ʻa hoʻo koloa mo hoʻo kakai kotoa pē.’

In the time [when] thou art broken by the seas, in the depths of the waters, thy merchandise and all thine assemblage in the midst of thee have fallen.

35 “ʻE ofo ʻiate koe ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi ʻotu motu, pea ʻe manavahē lahi honau kau pule, te nau mata kehe ʻi heʻenau puputuʻu.

All the inhabitants of the isles are amazed at thee, and their kings are horribly afraid, [their] countenance is troubled.

36 ‌ʻE fakaʻiseʻisa ʻae kau fakatau koloaʻia ʻi he kakai kiate koe: te ke hoko koe ko e meʻa fakaʻulia; pea ʻe ʻikai te ke toe ʻi ai ʻo taʻengata.”

The merchants among the peoples hiss at thee; thou art become a terror, and thou shalt never be any more.
