¹Zvino shoko raJehovha rakasvikazve kwandiri, richiti,

¹And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying:

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

²And thou, son of man, take up a lamentation for 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 art situate at the entries of the sea, and traffickest with the peoples in many isles, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou, Tyre, hast said, I am perfect in beauty.

⁴Nyika yako iri mumoyo wamakungwa; vavaki vako vakakwanisa kunaka kwako.

⁴Thy borders are in the heart of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.

⁵Vakaita mapuranga ako ose nemisipiresi inobva Seniri; vakatora musidhari weRebhanoni kukuitira danda rechikepe.

⁵They made all thy double boards of cypress-trees of Senir; they took cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee.

⁶Of the oaks of Bashan did they make thine oars; they made thy benches of ivory, inlaid in box-wood, out of the isles of Chittim.

⁷Maseiri ako aiva omucheka wakaisvonaka, wakasonerwa vukomba, aibva Egipita, kuti uve mureza wako; denga rako raiva romucheka mutema nomutsvuku waibva kuzviwi zveErisha.

⁷Byssus with broidered work from Egypt was thy sail, to serve thee for a banner; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was thine awning.
