Ezekiel 31
1 Saning hathlaito, khrah thumto haih ni tangsuek naah, Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third [month], on the first of the month, [that] the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2 kami capa, Izip siangpahrang Faro hoi angmah ih kaminawk khaeah hae tiah thui paeh; na lensawkhaih loe mi hoiah maw anghmong?
Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
3 Khenah, Assyria loe tanghang kahoih, aqam kasai, akung kasang, ranui koek ah tadok kacawn Lebanon sidar thing ah oh.
Behold, Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon, with fair branches and a shadowing shroud, and of a high stature: and his top was amidst the thick boughs.
4 Tui mah anih to qoengsak tahang moe, kathuk tui mah anih to sangsak tahang, vapuinawk loe anih patit ih akungnawk taengah longh o moe, azawn ah thling ih thingkungnawk boih khaeah vapui tui to a longsak.
The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high; its streams ran round about his plantation, and it sent out its rivulets unto all the trees of the field.
5 To pongah anih loe azawn ah thling ih thingnawk boih pong kasang koek ah oh; tui to pop pongah tanghangnawk to sang o moe, tadoknawk doeh cawnh o.
Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long, because of great waters, when he shot forth.
6 Van ih tavaanawk loe anih ih tahangnawk pongah tabu boh o boih, azawn ah kaom moinawk loe anih ih tanghangnawk tlim ah caasak o boih, kalen parai praenawk loe anih tahlip tlim ah oh o boih.
All the fowl of the heavens made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all the great nations.
7 Anih loe tui pophaih ahmuen ah tangzun sak pongah, tanghangnawk to sang o tahang moe, kranghoihaih hoi lensawkhaih hoiah akoep.
Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: because his root was by great waters.
8 Sithaw takha thung ih Sidar thingnawk mah anih to vingh thai ai; hmaica thingnawk mah doeh anih ih tanghangnawk to pha ai, cypress thingnawk mah doeh tanghangnawk to pha thai ai, Sithaw takha thung ih kawbaktih thingnawk mah doeh a kranghoihaih to pha o thai ai.
The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him; the cypresses were not like his boughs, and the plane-trees were not as his branches: no tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
9 Sithaw takha thungah kaom, Eden thingnawk boih mah, anih to ut o hanah, tanghang popsak moe, krang ka hoihsak.
I had made him fair by the multitude of his branches; and all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.
10 To pongah Angraeng Sithaw mah, Kasang parai ah na qoeng tahang, thingnawk boih nuiah tadok na cawnh, anih mah a sanghaih to amoek haih pongah, poekhaih palungthin to sang;
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast lifted up thyself in stature, ...and he hath set his top amidst the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height,
11 anih to Sithaw panoek ai thacak kaminawk khaeah ka paek boeh; a sethaih baktiah to kami mah anih nuiah sah tih; a sethaih pongah anih to ka haek boeh.
I have given him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
12 Tahmenhaih tawn ai kalah prae kaminawk mah anih to hum moe, caeh o taak; anih ih tanghangnawk loe mae nui hoiah tahawt thungah krak moe, anih ih tadoknawk doeh prae thung ih vapuinawk mah angkhaehsak boih boeh; long kaminawk boih anih tahlip tlim hoiah tacawt o moe, anih to caeh o taak boeh.
And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off and have left him; upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken in all the watercourses of the land; and all the peoples of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
13 Van ih tavaanawk hoi moi kasannawk boih loe anih ih angkhaek tanghangnawk nuiah oh o.
Upon his fallen [trunk] do all the fowl of the heavens dwell, and all the beasts of the field are upon his branches:
14 To pongah tui taengah kaom thingnawk boih thungah a sanghaih pongah amoek han ai, tanghangnawk ranuiah tadok cawnh pongah amoek han ai, tui kanae thingkungnawk boih thungah a sanghaih kam oek haih thingah oh han ai ah, to thingkungnawk duek o boih hanah, tangqom thungah caeh tathuk kaminawk hoi nawnto long thungah ka pakhrak tathuk boeh, tiah thuih.
to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, nor set their top amidst the thick boughs, and that none of them that drink water stand up in his height by himself; for they are all given over unto death in the lower parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
15 Angraeng Sithaw mah, Anih taprong thungah caeh tathuk naah palung ka boengsak; anih hanah kathuk tui to ka khuk pae, tui to ka khah pae khoep moe, kalen parai tuinawk to kang haksak; anih hanah Lebanon palung ka setsak, anih pongah taw ih thingnawk to ka zaisak boih. (Sheol h7585)
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when he went down to Sheol, I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed; and I made Lebanon black for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. (Sheol h7585)
16 Anih to tangqom thungah caeh tathuk kaminawk hoi nawnto hell thungah ka vah naah, anih pakhrakhaih atuen mah prae kaminawk boih ka tasoehsak; to naah Eden ih thingnawk boih, kahoih koek qoih ih Lebanon thingnawk hoi tui kanae thingnawk boih long thungah kamong ah oh o. (Sheol h7585)
I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol, with them that go down into the pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the lower parts of the earth. (Sheol h7585)
17 Anih ih bantha cakhaih ah kaom, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk, anih ih tahlip tlim ah kaom kaminawk loe, sumsen hoi hum ih kaminawk caehhaih ahmuen, hell thungah anih hoi nawnto caeh o tathuk. (Sheol h7585)
They also went down into Sheol with him unto them that were slain with the sword, and [that were] his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
18 Na lensawkhaih loe Eden ih thing kawbaktih hoiah maw patah thai tih? Toe nang loe Eden ih thingnawk hoi nawnto long thungah na caeh tathuk tih; nang loe sumsen hoi hum ih kaminawk hoi nawnto tangyat hin aat ai kaminawk salakah nang song tih. Hae loe Faro hoi anih ih kaminawk boih thuih koehhaih ih ni, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? Yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden, unto the lower parts of the earth; thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord Jehovah.
