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 Kittim it is revealed to them.

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

²Be still, ye inhabitants of the coast, thou whom the merchants of Sidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.

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

³And on great waters the seed of the Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue; and she was the 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 Sidon; for the sea hath spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, I have not travailed, nor brought forth, neither have I nourished young men, nor brought up virgins.

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

⁵When the report cometh to Egypt, they shall be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.

⁶Yambukirai Tarishishi; chemai imwi mugere pamahombekombe egungwa.

⁶Pass ye over to Tarshish; wail, ye inhabitants of the coast.

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, whose feet carried her afar off to sojourn?

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

⁸Who hath purposed this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honorable of the earth?

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

⁹Jehovah of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.

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

¹⁰Pass through thy land as the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no restraint any more.

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

¹¹He hath stretched out his hand over the sea, he hath shaken the kingdoms: Jehovah hath given commandment concerning Canaan, to destroy the strongholds 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 Sidon: arise, pass over to Kittim; even there 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; the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness; they set up their towers; they overthrew the palaces thereof; they made it a ruin.

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

¹⁴Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for your stronghold 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 it shall be unto Tyre as in the song of the harlot.

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

¹⁶Take a 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 Jehovah will visit Tyre, and she shall return to her hire, and shall play the harlot 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 Jehovah: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before Jehovah, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
