Ezekiel 27
1 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
Tena neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
2 Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre;
“Sasa wewe, mwanadamu, anza kuomboleza kuhusiana na 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.
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.'
