Ezekiel 27
1 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
Neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
2 Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre;
“Mwanadamu, fanya maombolezo kwa ajili ya Tiro.
3 And say to Tyre, O thou that dwelleth at the entrance 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.
Umwambie Tiro, ulioko kwenye lango la bahari, ufanyao biashara na mataifa mengi ya pwani, ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: “‘Ee Tiro, wewe umesema, “Mimi ni mkamilifu katika uzuri.”
