¹Chirevo pamusoro peTire. Chemai, imi, zvikepe zveTarishishi; nekuti raparadzwa, hapachine imba, kana pangapindwapo; vakaratidzwa izvozvo vari panyika yeKitimi.

¹The 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.

²imwi mugere pamahombekombe egungwa, nyararai, iyemi maifumiswa navatengesi veSidhoni, vanofamba negungwa.

²Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.

³fuma yaro zvaiva zviyo zveShihori, zvibereko zveNairi, paitengeswa zvose zvamarudzi avanhu.

³And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her revenue; and she is a mart of nations.

⁴Nyara, iwe Sidhoni, nekuti gungwa rataura, nenhare yegungwa, richiti, Handina kurwadziwa, handina kubereka, handina kurera majaya, kana kukurisa mhandara.

⁴Be 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.

⁵Kana shoko richisvika Egipita, vachava neshungu kwazvo pamusoro peshoko reTire.

⁵As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.

⁶Yambukirai Tarishishi; chemai imwi mugere pamahombekombe egungwa.

⁶Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle.

⁷Gara ndiro guta renyu raifara, raivapo kubva kare nakare, raiiswa kurekure netsoka dzaro, kundogarako?

⁷Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.

⁸Ndianiko akafungira Tire izvozvo, iro raipavhurira korona, vatengesi varo vaiva machinda, navashambadziri varo vaiva vanokudzwa panyika?

⁸Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth?

⁹Jehovha wehondo ndiye akazvifunga, kuti amhure kuzvikudza kwezvose zvinokudzwa, nokuzvidza vose vanokudzwa panyika.

⁹The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.

¹⁰Pararira panyika yako seNairi, iwe mukunda weTarishishi; hakuchine bhanhire rinokusunga.

¹⁰Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength.

¹¹Akatambanudzira ruoko rwake pamusoro pegungwa, akazunungusa ushe; Jehovha akaraira pamusoro peKanani, kuti nhare dzayo dziparadzwe.

¹¹He 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.

¹²Akati, Hauchazofari, iwe mukunda weSidhoni, mhandara yakamanikidzwa; simuka, uyambukire Kitimi; naikoko haungawani zororo.

¹²And 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.

¹³Tarirai nyika yavaKaradhea; rudzi urwo haruchipo; vaAsiria vakaiita nyika yezvikara zverenje; vakamisa shongwe dzavo, vakawisa dzimba dzoushe dzaivamo, vakaiita dongo.

¹³Behold 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.

¹⁴Chemai, imwi zvikepe zveTarishishi; nekuti nhare yenyu yaparadzwa.

¹⁴Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste.

¹⁵Zvino nenguva iyo Tire richakanganikwa makore makumi manomwe, zvakaenzana namakore amambo mumwechete; kana makore makumi manomwe apera, Tire richaitirwa sezvinoimbwa parwiyo rwechifeve, runoti,

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁶Iwe chifeve, wakanganikwa, tora mbira upote neguta; ridza zvakanaka, imba nziyo dzakanaka, kuti urangarirwe.

¹⁶Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.

¹⁷Zvino kana makore makumi manomwe apera, Jehovha achashanyira Tire, ipapo richadzokera kumubayiro waro, ndokufeva noushe hwose bwenyika huri pasi pose.

¹⁷And 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.

¹⁸Zvarakashambadzira, nomubayiro waro, zvichava zvitvsene kuna Jehovha; hazvingachengetwi kana kuvigwa, nekuti zvarakashambadzira zvichava zvavanogara pamberi paJehovha, kuti vagute kwazvo, vafuke nguvo dzakanaka.

¹⁸And 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.
