Ezekiel 31
1 Saning hathlaito, khrah thumto haih ni tangsuek naah, Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
Now it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came to 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 to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to his multitude: To 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, the Assyrian was a cedar upon Lebanon, with fair branches; An overshadowing thicket, high of stature; And his top was among 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 waters made him high; Their streams went around their plantation, And sent forth their channels to 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 the abundance of water 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.
In his boughs all the birds of heaven made their nests, And under his branches all the beasts of the field brought 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 beautiful in his greatness, in the length of his branches; For his root was by many 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 cypress-trees were not like his boughs, And the plane-trees were not like his branches. Not any tree in the garden of God Was like to 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 made him beautiful in the multitude of his branches, So that all the trees of Eden, which 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 he lifted himself up in stature, And shot up his top among the thick boughs, And his heart was lifted up on account of 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.
Therefore I delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations, To deal hardly with him; I drave 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, cut him off and cast him away. Upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches fell; And his boughs were broken in all the valleys of the land. And all the nations of the earth withdrew from his shadow and left him;
13 Van ih tavaanawk hoi moi kasannawk boih loe anih ih angkhaek tanghangnawk nuiah oh o.
Upon his ruin dwelt all the birds of the heavens, And upon his branches were all the beasts of the forest.
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 Might exalt themselves for their stature, Nor shoot up their top among the thick boughs, And that none of the trees that drink water should cleave to them on account of their height; For all of them are delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, In the midst of the sons of men, To them that have gone 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 the grave, I caused the deep to mourn, I covered it for him; I restrained on account of him the streams, and the great waters were kept back; And I caused Lebanon to mourn 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)
At the sound of his fall I made the nations to shake, When I cast him down to the grave, To them that have gone down to the pit; And all the trees of Eden, The choice and best of Lebanon, Even 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 the grave with him, To them that have been slain with the sword; They also that were his arm, That dwelt under his shadow among 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 greatness among the trees of Eden? Thou shalt be brought down with the trees of Eden To the lower parts of the earth; Thou shalt lie down in the midst of the uncircumcised, With them that are slain by the sword. Thus shall it be with Pharaoh and all his multitude, Saith the Lord Jehovah.
