¹The burden of Tyre. Howl, you 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.

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

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

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

³On great waters, the seed of the Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue. She was the market of nations.

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

⁴Be ashamed, Sidon; for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, “I have not travailed, nor brought forth, neither have I nourished young men, nor brought up virgins.”

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

⁵When the report comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish at the report of Tyre.

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

⁶Pass over to Tarshish! Wail, you inhabitants of the coast!

⁶Yambukirai Tarishishi; chemai imwi mugere pamahombekombe egungwa.

⁷Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days, whose feet carried her far away to travel?

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

⁸Who has planned this against Tyre, the giver of crowns, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honorable of the earth?

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

⁹Yahweh of Armies has planned it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.

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

¹⁰Pass through your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish. There is no restraint any more.

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

¹¹He has stretched out his hand over the sea. He has shaken the kingdoms. Yahweh has ordered the destruction of Canaan’s strongholds.

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

¹²He said, “You shall rejoice no more, you oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, pass over to Kittim. Even there you will have no rest.”

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

¹³Behold, the land of the Chaldeans. This people was not. The Assyrians founded it for those who dwell in the wilderness. They set up their towers. They overthrew its palaces. They made it a ruin.

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

¹⁴Howl, you ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste!

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

¹⁵It will come to pass in that day that Tyre will be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. After the end of seventy years it will be to Tyre like in the song of the prostitute.

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

¹⁶Take a harp; go about the city, you prostitute that has been forgotten. Make sweet melody. Sing many songs, that you may be remembered.

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

¹⁷It will happen after the end of seventy years that Yahweh will visit Tyre, and she shall return to her wages, and will play the prostitute with all the kingdoms of the world on the surface of the earth.

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

¹⁸Her merchandise and her wages will be holiness to Yahweh. It will not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise will be for those who dwell before Yahweh, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.

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