2 Nyana womntu, ngenxa enokuba iTire isithi ngeYerusalem, Tshotsho! lwaphukile ucango lwezizwe; luvulekele kum; ndiya kuchuma mna, ibe linxuwa yona!
3 ngako oko, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, ndikuchasile, Tire. Ndiya kukunyusela iintlanga ezininzi, njengokuba ulwandle lunyusa amaza alo;
4 ziziqhuqhe iindonga zaseTire, zizigungxule iinqaba zakho ezinde. Ndolutshayela uthuli lwayo kuyo, ndiyenze ibe yingxondorha ebalelelwe lilanga.
5 Iya kuba yindawo yokwanekela iminatha phakathi kolwandle; ngokuba ndithethile, itsho iNkosi uYehova; ibe lixhoba leentlanga.
6 Namagxamesi ayo asemaphandleni aya kubulawa ngekrele; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
7 Ngokuba itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, iTire ndiya kuyizisela uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabheli, evela entla, ukumkani wookumkani, enamahashe neenqwelo zokulwa, nabakhweli, nesikhungu sabantu, nabantu abaninzi.
8 Amagxamesi akho asemaphandleni úya kuwabulala ngekrele, akumisele inqaba yokubonisela, afumbe kuwe udonga lokungqinga, akumisele ikhusi lamakhaka;
