Ezekieli 27
1 Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
The word of Jehovah came again to me, saying,
2 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, imba nyimbo yodandaulira Turo.
And thou, son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre,
3 Uza Turo, mzinda wokhala pa dooko la nyanja, wochita malonda ndi anthu ambiri a mʼmbali mwa nyanja kuti: Ambuye Yehova akuti, “Iwe Turo, umanena kuti, ‘Ndine wokongola kwambiri.’
and say to Tyre, O thou that dwells at the entry of the sea, that is the merchant of the peoples to many isles, thus says the lord Jehovah: Thou, O Tyre, have said, I am perfect in beauty.
