< Ezekiel 27 >

1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
Naʻe toe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
2 And thou, son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre;
“Ko eni, ʻe foha ʻoe tangata, ke ke fai ʻae tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko Taia;
3 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.
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.
4 Thy borders are in the heart of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.

32 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?
Pea ʻi heʻenau mamahi, te nau fai ʻae tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko koe, ʻonau tangi mamahi koeʻuhi ko koe ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e kolo fē ʻoku hangē ko Taia, kuo maumauʻi ʻi he loto tahi?
33 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 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.
‌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.’
35 All the inhabitants of the isles are astonished at thee, and their kings are horribly afraid, they are troubled in their countenance.
“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.
36 The merchants among the peoples hiss at thee; thou art become a terror, and thou shalt never be any more.
‌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.”
