23Umthwaloa weTireb. Qhinqani isililoc, mikhumbi yeTarshishi, ngoba ichithiwe, ukuze kungabi lendlud, ukuthi kungabi lokungenae. Kuvela elizweni leKitimif kwembuliwe kubo. 2 Thulanig, bahlali besihlengeh; wena abakugcwalisileyo abathengiselani beSidonii abachapha ulwandle. 3 Langamanzi amakhulu, inzalo yeShihorij, isivuno somfula yinzuzo yayo; njalo iyindawo yezizwe yokuthengiselanak. 4 Woba lenhloni, Sidonil; ngoba ulwandle lukhulumile, amandla olwandle, lusithi: Kangihelelwa, kangibelethanga, kangikhulisangam amajaha, kangondlanga izintombi ezimsulwan. 5 Njengasembikweni ngeGibhithe bazahelelwa ngombiko weTire. 6 Chaphelani eTarshishio, qhinqani isililo, bahlali besihlengep. 7 Yiwo lo yini umuzi wenu ojabulayoq, obudala bawo busukela ensukwini zendulor? Inyawo zawo zizawuthwalela khatshana ukuyahlala njengowezizwe. 8 Ngubani oweluleke lokhu ngeTire, omethesi womqhele, obathengisis bayo bayiziphathamandla, obathengiselani bayo ngabadumileyo emhlabeni? 9 INkosi yamabandla ikucebisile lokhu, ukonakalisa ukuzigqaja kodumot lonke, ukwenza badelelekeu bonke abadumileyo bomhlaba. 10 Dabula ilizwe lakho njengomfulav, ndodakazi yeTarshishiw; akuselamandlax. 11 Yelulele isandla sayo phezu kolwandle, inyikinye imibusoy; iNkosi ilayezile imelene leKhanani, ukuchitha inqaba zayo. 12 Yasisithi: Kawusayikuphinda ujabule, ntombi emsulwa ecindezelweyo, ndodakazi yeSidoni; eKhithimuz sukuma uchaphe; lakhona kakuyikuba lokuphumula kuwe. 13 Khangela ilizwe lamaKhaladiyaa; lesisizwe sasingekho; amaSiriya asisekelela bona abahlala enkangalab; amisa imiphotshongo yawo yokuvimbezelac, abhidliza izigodlo zalo; alenza laba lunxiwad. 14 Qhinqani isililo, mikhumbi yeTarshishie, ngoba inqaba yenu ichithekile.
15 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku iTire ikhohlakale okweminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisaf, njengokwensuku zenkosi eyodwag.

17 Kuzakuthi-ke ekupheleni kweminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisal iNkosi iyihambele iTirem; njalo izabuyela ekuqhatshwenin kobuwule bayo; izawulao layo yonke imibuso yomhlaba phezu kobuso bomhlaba. 18 Lokuthengiselana kwayo lokuqhatshwa kwayo kuzakuba yibungcwele eNkosinip; kakuyikulondolozwa kumbe kubuthelelwe, ngoba inzuzo yayo yokuthengiselana izakuba ngeyabahlala phambi kweNkosiq, ukuze badle basuther, babe lezigqoko ezinhle.
