1 The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them. 2 Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished. 3 And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her revenue; and she is a mart of nations. 4 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins. 5 As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre. 6 Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle. 7 Is this your joyous city , whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn. 8 Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city , whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth? 9 The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth. 10 Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength. 11 He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant city , to destroy the strong holds thereof. 12 And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have no rest. 13 Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; and he brought it to ruin. 14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste.
15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot. 16 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
17 ¶ And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. 18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
Foinikia tashi hunganekwa
1 Ndika ehunganeko tali popi Tiro.
Takumeni nokulila ne aanasikepa yokuSpania! Oshilandotulilo sheni Tiro osha hanagulwa po; omagumbo nomatulilo gasho kage po we. Onkundana ndjika oye ya zile kuKipro, sho ya li taa galukile kegumbo. 2 Lilaganeni, ne aahalithi yokuSidoni! Omwa tumine aantu, 3 ya tokole efuta ya ka shingithe nokulanda iilya kuEgipiti nokupindika niigwana ayihe.
4 Shilando Sidon, sa ohoni! Efuta, omeya ganandjandja muule wago, otage ku idhimbike e taga ti: “Kandi na nando aanona. Moshitheta shandje ine pulumutha omumati nenge omukadhona.”
5 Nokuli Aayegipiti otaa ka kakama e taa haluka, uuna taa kundana kutya Tiro osha hanagulwa po.
6 Takumeni nokulila, ne Aafoinikia! Indeni ontuku kuSpania! 7 Otashi vulika ngiini kutya shika osho oshilando Tiro shomashambudho, shoka sha dhikilwe nalenale? Oshilando shika osho tuu shoka sha tumine aatembukili komavi gokokule kombanda yefuta? 8 Olye ngoka a dhiladhila a etele Tiro omupya gwa tya ngawo, oshilando oshiyamba shoka aahalithi yasho ya li aawagona, aanenentu kombanda yevi? 9 Omuwa Omunankondoawike okwe shi dhiladhila, opo a hulithe po einomo lyawo mushoka ya ningi nokufupipika aanenentu yamo.
10 Ne aantu yomiitembukilwa muSpania, tamekeni okulonga omapya. Kaku na we ngoka te mu gamene. 11 Omuwa okwa taganekele efuta okwooko kwe e ta teya po iilongo. Okwa tokola okuhanagulitha po omapopilongulu gaFoinikia. 12 Shilando ngoye Sidon, elago lyoye olya hula, naantu yoye taa hepekwa. Nando ya ye ontuku kuKipro, itaa ka hupa.
13 (Oya li Aababilonia, kaye shi Aayassur, mboka ya longekidhile iithitukuti ompito yokuya kuTiro. Aababilonia oyo ya tungu ooshungo dhekondekela, ya kumuna po omapopilongulu gaTiro nokuhanagula po oshilando.)
14 Lileni nokutakuma, ne aanasikepa yokuSpania! Oshilando mwi inekela osha hanagulwa po.
15 Ethimbo otali ya, uuna Tiro tashi ka dhimbiwa omimvo omilongo heyali, dhi thike pomasiku gomukwaniilwa gumwe. Omimvo ndhoka nge dha piti, Tiro otashi ka ninga, ngaashi oshiimbo shopauhonda tashi ti:
16 “Kutha okaharpa koye, endagula nomukunda,
ngoye ohonda ya dhimbiwa!
Hika nawa, imba natango,
opo aalumentu ye ku dhimbulukwe!”
17 Omimvo omilongo heyali nge dha piti po, Omuwa ota ka galulila Tiro omapindiko gasho omakulu, nosho tashi ki ishingitha kiilongo ayihe yomuuyuni. 18 Iimaliwa mbyoka tashi ke yi likola mehalitho, otayi ka yoololelwa Omuwa. Itashi ki ingungunina nando osha, ihe mboka haa longele Omuwa, oyo taa ku utha iimaliwa yasho yokulanda iikulya nomizalo taye dhi pumbwa.
