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, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to 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 to Pharao king of Egypt, and to his multitude; To whom hast thou compared thyself in thy haughtiness?
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 cypress in Libanus, and was fair in shoots, and high in stature: his top reached to the midst of the clouds.
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 water nourished him, the depth made him grow tall; she led her rivers round about his plants, and she sent forth her streams to 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 a pha vaengah tah a thingvak khaw thingvak lakah sen.
Therefore was his stature exalted above all the trees of the field, and his branches spread far by the help of much water.
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 birds of the sky made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches all the wild beasts of the field bred; the whole multitude of nations dwelt under his shadow.
7 A yung loh tui yet te a paan coeng dongah a boeilennah neh sawtthen tih a hlaeng a vak nen khaw sawtthen coeng.
And he was fair in his height by reason of the multitude of his branches: for his roots were amidst much water.
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.
And such cypresses [as this] were in the paradise of God; and there were no pines like his shoots, and there were no firs like his branches: no tree in the paradise of God was like him in his beauty,
9 Te te a hlaeng boeih neh sakthen la ka saii dongah Pathen dum kah Eden thingkung boeih loh a taengah thatlai uh.
because of the multitude of his branches: and the trees of God's paradise of delight envied him.
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; Because thou art grown great, and hast set thy top in the midst of the clouds, and I saw when he was exalted;
11 Te dongah anih te namtom tutal kut ah ka paek. A halangnah bangla anih te saii rhoe saii ham ham ka haek.
therefore I delivered him into the hands of the prince of the nations, and he wrought his destruction.
12 Te kholong kah namtom hanghaeng 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 ravaging strangers from the nations have destroyed him, and have cast him down upon the mountains: his branches fell in all the valleys, and his boughs were broken in every field of the land; and all the people of the nations are gone down from their shelter, and have laid him low.
13 A cungkunah soah vaan kah vaa boeih loh kho a sak uh tih a thingsam dongah khohmuen mulhing boeih om uh.
All the birds of the sky have settled on his fallen trunk, and all the wild beasts of the field came upon his boughs:
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.
in order that none of the trees by the water should exalt themselves by reason of their size: whereas they set their top in the midst of the clouds, yet they continued not in their high state in their place, all that drank water, all were consigned to death, to the depth 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 wherein he went down to Hades, the deep mourned for him: and I stayed her floods, and restrained her abundance of water: and Libanus saddened for him, 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)
At the sound of his fall the nations quaked, when I brought him down to Hades with them that go down to the pit: and all the trees of Delight comforted him in the heart, and the choice of [plants] of Libanus, all that drink water. (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)
For they went down to hell with him among the slain with the sword; and his seed, [even] they that dwelt under his shadow, perished in the midst of their life. (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 compared? descend, and be thou debased with the trees of paradise to the depth of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword. Thus shall Pharao be, and the multitude of his host, saith the Lord God.
