1 Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
2 Wena ke, nyana womntu, yiphakamisele isimbonono iTire.
3 Yithi kwiTire, Wena uhleliyo ezingenweni zolwandle, mrhwebelikazi wezizwe eziqithini ezininzi, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Tire, ùthi wena, Ndimhle kwaphela.
4 Isembilinini yeelwandle imida yakho, abakhi bakho bakwenzé wamhle kwaphela.
5 Ngemisipres* yaseSenire bakwakhele zonke iideke* zakho, bathabatha imisedare* yaseLebhanon ukwenza imasti* kuwe.
6 Bawenza ngemioki* yaseBhashan amaphini akho okubheqa; izihlalo zakho bazenza ngeempondo zeendlovu, ezifakelwe emigalagaleni yaseziqithini zamaKiti.
7 Ilinen ecikizekileyo emfakamfele yaseYiputa yaba iyiseyile* yakho, ukuba ibe yibhanile* kuwe; ingubo emsi nemfusa yaseziqhithini zakwaElisha yaba ngumthunzi wakho.
8 Abemi baseTsidon neArvadi baye bengababheqi bakho; izilumko zakho, Tire, zaba phakathi kwakho, zaba ngabaqhubi bakho.
9 Amadoda amakhulu aseGebhali nezilumko zakhona ebe zikuwe, zaba ngabalungisi beentanda zakho. Yonke imikhombe yolwandle ibe ikuwe, noomateloshe bayo, ukuba yanane urhwebo lwakho.
10 AmaPersi namaLudi namaPuti ebesemkhosini wakho, engamadoda akho okulwa; abezixhoma kuwe iingweletshetshe nezigcina-ntloko; akunika ubungangamela wona.
11 Oonyana baseArvadi babenomkhosi wakho phezu kweendonga zakho ngeenxa zonke, namakroti abasezinqabeni ezinde; axhoma iingweletshethse zawo ezindongeni zakho ngeenxa zonke; wona akwenza wamhle kwaphela.
12 ITarshishe yarhwebelana nawe ngenxa yobuninzi bobuncwane bonke, bakurholela isilivere, nesinyithi, nebhekile, nelothe, ngeempahla zakho.
13 OoYavan noTubhali noMesheki babengabarhwebeli bakho barhwebisana nawe ngeziqu zabantu nangeempahla zobhedu.
14 Abendlu kaTogarma bakurholela amahashe eenqwelo zokulwa, nawokukhwela, noondlebende, ngeempahla zakho.
15 Oonyana bakaDedan babengabarhwebeli bakho; iziqithi ezininzi bezirhwebisana nawe, zakubuyisela iimpondo zeendlovu nemisimbithi, yaba sisithabathaba.
16 UAram* warhwebelana nawe ngenxa yobuninzi bezinto ozenzayo, bakurholela iikarbhunkolo,* neengubo ezimfusa, nezimfakamfele, nelinen ecikizekileyo, nekorale,* neerubhi,* ngeempahla zakho.
17 ElakwaYuda nelizwe lakwaSirayeli belingabarhwebeli bakho; barhwebisana nawe ngengqolowa yaseMiniti nangemiqhathane, nangobusi, nangeoli, nangamafutha aqholiweyo.
18 IDamasko yarhwebelana nawe, ngenxa yobuninzi bezinto ozenzayo, ngenxa yobuninzi bobuncwane bonke, ngewayini yaseHelebhon nangoboya begusha obuqaqambileyo.
19 OoVedan noYavan waseUzali baye bekurholela intsimbi ekhandiweyo; ikasiya* nekalamo* bezisekurhwebeni kwakho.
20 UDedan ubengumrhwebeli wakho wezidwashu zokukhwela.
21 Elakwa-Arabhi nezikhulu zonke zakwaKedare bezirhwebisana nawe, zarhwebisana nawe ngamatakane, nangeenkunzi zeegusha, nangeenkunzi zeebhokhwe.
22 Abarhwebi bakwaShebha nabakwaRama baye bengabarhwebeli bakho, bakurholela ubulawu bonke obuyintloko, namatye onke anqabileyo, negolide, ngeempahla zakho.
23 OoHaran noKane noEden, abarhwebi bakwaShebha, nabaseAsiriya, nabaseKilemadi, baye bengabarhwebeli bakho;
24 babengabarhwebeli bakho ngeengubo ezintle kwaphela, nangeengubo zokwaleka ezimsi nezimfakamfele, nangemichako emabalabala. Ezo zinto zithandelwe zaqiniswa ngamaqamesi, ukuba ziye emarikeni yakho.
25 Iinqanawa zaseTarshishe bezingabathuthi bakho nabolwananiso lwakho. Wàchuma ke, wazuka kakhulu embilinini yeelwandle.
26 Bakùsa emanzini amakhulu ababheqi bakho; umoya wasempumalanga wakwaphula embilinini yeelwandle.
27 Ubuncwane bakho neempahla zakho othengise ngazo, nezinto zakho ozananileyo, noomateloshe bakho, nabaqhubi bakho, nabalungisi beentânda zakho, nabananisi beento zakho zokwananwa, namadoda akho onke okulwa aphakathi kwakho, kunye nesikhungu sakho sonke esiphakathi kwakho, baphalala embilinini yeelwandle ngemini yokuwa kwakho.
28 Ngenxa yezwi lokukhala labaqhubi bakho, ayanyikima amadlelo.
29 Bayehla emikhombeni yabo bonke ababheqi noomateloshe, bonke abaqhubi baselwandle, béze kuma emhlabeni.
30 Baya kulivakalisa ilizwi labo phezu kwakho, bakhale kakrakra, bazigalele ngothuli ezintloko, bazigalele ngothuthu.
31 Bozicheba iintloko ngenxa yakho, babhinqe ezirhwexayo, bakulilele ngobukrakra bomphefumlo wabo, bembambazela kakrakra.
32 Bokuphakamisela isimbonono esimemeni sabo, bakwenzele isimbonono, besithi, Ngubani na onjengeTire, onjengobethwe wathi cwaka embilinini yeelwandle?
33 Ekuphumeni kweempahla zakho othengise ngazo ezilwandle, wáhluthisa izizwe ezininzi; ngobuninzi bobuncwane bakho nobolwananiso lwakho wabatyebisa ookumkani behlabathi.
34 Kungoku, waphukile nje, ùmkile ezilwandle, ezinzulwini zamanzi; luwile nawe ulwananiso lwakho, nesikhungu sakho sonke.
35 Bonke abemi beziqithi baya kumangaliswa nguwe, ookumkani bazo babe namanwele benamanwele, búthe ntshwa ubuso babo.
36 Abarhwebi abasezizweni baya kwenza umsondlo; usuke wena ube sisikhwankqiso, ungabi sabakho naphakade.
