¹Zvino shoko raJehovha rakasvikazve kwandiri, richiti,

¹The word of Jehovah came again unto me, saying,

²Zvino iwe, Mwanakomana womunhu, ita mariro pamusoro peTire;

²And thou, son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre;

³uti kuTire, Nhai iwe ugere pavanopinda pagungwa, iwe unoshambadzirana namarudzi avanhu pazviwi zvizhinji, zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, iwe Tire, wakati, Ndakakwana pakunaka.

³and say unto Tyre, O thou that dwellest at the entry of the sea, that art the merchant of the peoples unto many isles, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou, O Tyre, hast said, I am perfect in beauty.
