25 “‘“The anayawath (ships) of Tharashayash (Tarshish) were your caravans for your mairab (merchandise): and you were malaa (replenished), and made very kabad (glorious) in the lab (heart) of the yamayam (seas).

26 Your shatayam (rowers) bawaa (bring) brought you into rab (great) mayam (Waters): the qadayam (east) rawach (spirit / wind) has shabar (broken) you in the lab (heart) of the yamayam (seas).

27 Your riches, and your izabawan (wares), your mairab (merchandise), your malach (mariners), and your chabal (pilots), your repairers of ship seams, and the dealers in your mairab (merchandise), and all your machazayaqay (men) of malachamah (war), who are in you, with all your qahal (company) which is in the thawak (midst) of you, shall napal (fall / be cast down) into the lab (heart) of the yamayam (seas) in the yawam (day) of your mapalath (ruin).

28 At the qawal (sound / voice) of the zaiq (cry) of your chabal (pilots) the magarashawath (suburbs) shall raish (shake).

29 All who thapash (handled) the mashawat (oar), the malachayam (mariners), and all the chabalay (pilots) of the yam (sea/waters), shall yarad (come) down from their anayah (ships); they shall imad (stand) on the aratz (Earth/land),

30 And shall cause their qawal (sound / voice) to be shamai (hearken / hear) over you, and shall zaiq (cry) bitterly, and shall ilah (go up / offer) up ipar (dust) on their raash (head), they shall wallow themselves in the ashes:

31 And they shall make themselves qarach (bald) for you, and clothe them with sackcloth, and they shall bakah (weep) for you in bitterness of napash (soul) with mar (bitter) masapad (mourning).

32 In their nay (wailing) they shall nashaa (lift) up a qayanah (lamentation) for you, and qawan (lament) over you, saying, ‘Who is there like Tzar (Tyre), like her who is brought to silence in the thawak (midst) of the yam (sea/waters)?’

33 When your izabawan (wares) yatzaa (go out / come out) forth out of the yamayam (seas), you shabai (filled) many imayam (peoples); you enriched the malakay (kings) of the aratz (Earth/land) with the rab (multitude) of your riches and of your mairab (merchandise).

34 In the ith (time) that you were shabar (broken) by the yamayam (seas) in the maimaqay (depths) of the mayam (Waters), your mairab (merchandise) and all your qahal (company) napal (fall / be cast down) in your thawak (midst).

35 All the yashabay (inhabitants) of the ayayam (islands) are shamam (astonished) at you, and their malak (king) are shair (horribly) shair (dread / storm / horror); they are raim (troubled) in their panayam (face).

36 The sacharayam (merchants) among the imayam (peoples) sharaq (hiss) at you; you are become a balahah (terror), and you shall nevermore have any being.”’”
