Ezekiel 31
1 Kum hlai khat hla thum dongkah a hnin at dongla a om vaengah BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
2 “Hlang capa aw, Egypt manghai Pharaoh neh a hlangping te thui pah. Na boeilennah dongah aka lutlat te unim?
'Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: whom art thou like in thy greatness?
3 Assyria khaw Lebanon kah lamphai la ke. A hlaeng sakthen tih thingkho khaw a khuk. A songsang neh oek uh tih a thingsoi khaw a bu sola om.
Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon, with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of a high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs.
4 Tui loh anih a pantai sak tih a laedil lamloh anih a pomsang. A thingling kaepvai ah a tuiva te long tih a tuilong te khohmuen thingkung boeih taengah a thak.
The waters nourished it, the deep made it to grow; her rivers ran round about her plantation, and she sent out her conduits unto all the trees of the field.
5 Te dongah a sang khaw khohmuen thingkung boeih lakah sang tih a pae khaw yet. Tui yet te a pha vaengah tah a thingvak khaw thingvak lakah sen.
Therefore its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long, because of the multitude of waters, when it shot them forth.
6 A baek dongah vaan kah vaa boeih loh bu a tuk tih a thingvak dangah khohmuen mulhing boeih thaang. A hlipkhup ah namtom boeiping boeih kho a sak.
All the fowls of heaven made their nests in its boughs, and all the beasts of the field did bring forth their young under its branches, and under its shadow dwelt all great nations.
7 A yung loh tui yet te a paan coeng dongah a boeilennah neh sawtthen tih a hlaeng a vak nen khaw sawtthen coeng.
Thus was it fair in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters.
8 Lamphai te Pathen kah dum ah huep uh thai pawh. Hmaical loh a baek te puet bal pawh. Hlimbok khaw anih kah thingsam bangla a om moenih. Pathen dum kah thing boeih loh a sakthen dongah anih te a puet moenih.
The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the cypress-trees were not like its boughs, and the plane-trees were not as its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like unto it in its beauty.
9 Te te a hlaeng boeih neh sakthen la ka saii dongah Pathen dum kah Eden thingkung boeih loh a taengah thatlai uh.
I made it fair by the multitude of its branches; so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it.
10 Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Thingvak khaw na sang tih a bu so duela a thingsoi a khueh. Te dongah a oeknah la a thinko a pomsang.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thou art exalted in stature, and he hath set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
11 Te dongah anih te namtom tutal kut ah ka paek. A halangnah bangla anih te saii rhoe saii ham ham ka haek.
I do even deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him; I do drive him out according to his wickedness.
12 Te kholong kah namtom hlanghaeng loh a hum. Tlang ah a yaal tih a hlaeng loh kolrhawk tom ah yalh. Khohmuen sokca boeih ah a thingsam tlawt. Te dongah diklai pilnam boeih khaw a hlipkhup lamloh suntla uh tih a toeng uh.
And strangers, the terrible of the nations, do cut him off, and cast him down; upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs lie broken in all the channels of the land; and all the peoples of the earth do go down from his shadow, and do leave him.
13 A cungkunah soah vaan kah vaa boeih loh kho a sak uh tih a thingsam dongah khohmuen mulhing boeih om uh.
Upon his carcass all the fowls of the heaven do dwell, and upon his branches are all the beasts of the field;
14 Te daengah ni tui dongkah thing boeih loh a thingvak nen khaw a sang pawt vetih a bu so la a thingsoi a khueh uh pawt eh. Te phoeiah tui aka o boeih loh amih kah oeknah dongah amih te a pha pawt eh. Amih boeih dueknah dongah tah tangrhom khuiah aka suntla hlang ca lakli ah khaw diklai laedil la a khueh uh coeng.
to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, neither set their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones stand up in their height, even all that drink water; for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
15 Ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Saelkhui la a suntlak khohnin ah anih te tuidung neh ka thing tih ka nguekcoi sak. A tuiva te ka kueng pah tih tui yet khaw a sihtaeh uh. Anih kongah Lebanon khaw kopang tih anih kongah khohmuen thingkung boeih huum coeng. (Sheol h7585)
Thus saith the Lord GOD: In the day when he went down to the nether-world I caused the deep to mourn and cover itself for him, and I restrained the rivers thereof, and the great waters were stayed; and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. (Sheol h7585)
16 Anih te tangrhom kah aka suntla rhoek neh saelkhui la ka suntlak vaengah a cungkunah ol neh namtom ka hinghuen sak. Te daengah ni Eden thing then boeih neh Lebanon hnothen tui aka o boeih diklai laedil ah dam a ti eh. (Sheol h7585)
I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to the nether-world with them that descend into the pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the nether parts of the earth. (Sheol h7585)
17 Amih khaw anih neh namtom lakli kah a hlipkhup ah aka om a bantha neh cunghang dongkah rhok taengah saelkhui la suntla uh. (Sheol h7585)
They also went down into the nether-world with him unto them that are slain by the sword; yea, they that were in his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
18 Thangpomnah neh Eden thingkung kah boeilennah dongah unim na puet van te. Eden thingkung neh pumdul lakli ah diklai laedil la na suntla vetih cunghang dongkah rhok neh na yalh ni. He tah Pharaoh neh a hlangping boeih kah a kawng ni. He he ka Boeipa Yahovah olphong ni,” a ti.
To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shall thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether 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 GOD.'
