Ezekiel 31

1 Kum hlaibun, thapa yung thum, hnin pasuek nah BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,

And it came to pass in the eleventh year, the third month, the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2 tami capa, Izip siangpahrang Faro hoi tamihunaw koe dei pouh. Na bawilennae a len teh, api hoi maw na kâvan,

Son of man, speak to Pharao king of Egypt, and to his people: To whom art thou like in thy greatness?

3 Assiria na meihawi teh, a bu ka rung e a kang, ka rasang e hmuen, ratu a tâhlip kahawie, akangnaw hoi ka kuep e a som kaawm e Lebanon doeh.

Behold, the Assyrian was like a cedar in Libanus, with fair branches, and full of leaves, of a high stature, and his top was elevated among the thick boughs.

4 Tui kathounge ni ahni teh a roung sak teh, talai thung e tui ni a rasang sak teh a ungnae hmuen petkâkalup lah ka lawng e palang ni a lawng sin teh, ram dawk e thing pueng a kawk nahanelah a lawng sak.

The waters nourished him, the deep set him up on high, the streams thereof ran round about his roots, and it sent forth its rivulets to all the trees of the country.

5 Hot patetlah kahrawngum e thingnaw hah ka tapuet lah a roung teh, hoehoe a rasang, akangnaw a roung teh a saw awh, tui moikapap hoi a kawk e doeh.

Therefore was his height exalted above all the trees of the country: and his branches were multiplied, and his boughs were elevated because of many waters.

6 Kalvan e tava pueng ni a kangnaw dawk a tabu a tuk awh. Kahrawngum e saringnaw ni a kangnaw e a rahim vah a ca khe awh. Hote thingkung a tâhlip dawkvah, kalenpounge miphunnaw pueng khosak awh.

And when he had spread forth his shadow, all the fowls of the air made their nests in his boughs, and all the beasts of the forest brought forth their young under his branches, and the assembly of many nations dwelt under his shadow.

7 Hottelah, tui apapnae hmuen koe a tangpha a pabo dawkvah, a len teh, a kangnaw a saw teh, a meihawinae hoi a kuep.

And he was most beautiful for his greatness, and for the spreading of his branches: for his root was near great waters.

8 Cathut e takha dawk Sidar thingnaw ni hote thingkung teh ngue thai awh hoeh. Hmaica thing hoi Aramonkung naw hai hot patetlae a kang hoi kuep awh hoeh. Cathut e takha dawk e thingkung buet touh ni hote thingkung ka phat e awm hoeh.

The cedars in the paradise of God wars not higher than he, the fir trees did not equal his top, neither were the plane trees to be compared with him for branches: no tree in the paradise of God was like him in his beauty.

9 Eden hmuen Cathut e takha dawk kaawm e thingkungnaw teh hote thingkung hah a ut awh totouh, a kang apap e lahoi ahnie meihawinae kai ni ka poe.

For I made him beautiful and thick set with many branches: and all the trees of pleasure, that were in the paradise of God, envied him.

10 Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, hote Sidar thing teh, a rasangpoung teh a kangnaw hai tâmai totouh a pha dawkvah, a lungthin a kârasang.

Therefore thus saith the Lord God Because he was exalted in height, and shot up his top green and thick, and his heart was lifted up in his height:

11 Miphunnaw dawk bahu a len teh, ka patawpoung lah lawkcengkung e a kut dawk kai ni ka poe toe. Ahni ni a sak e hno kecu dawk ka hrek han.

I have delivered him into the hands of the mighty one of the nations, he shall deal with him: I have cast him out according to his wickedness.

12 Miphunnaw thung dawk hoi taki ka tho poung e naw ni a tâtueng awh vaiteh, a tâkhawng awh han. Mon dawk thoseh, tanghling dawk thoseh, a kangnaw be a bo han. Hote ram dawk tui lawngnae ravo dawk a kangnaw be ka khoe han. Talai tami pueng a tâhlip dawk hoi a tâco awh vaiteh, a ceitakhai awh han.

And strangers, and the most cruel of the nations shall cut him down, and cast him away upon the mountains, and his boughs shall fall in every valley, and his branches shall be broken on every rock of the country: and all the people of the earth shall depart from his shadow, and leave him.

13 Kalvan e tavanaw hoi kahrawngum e saringnaw teh ka kâkhoe e a kangnaw van ao awh han.

All the fowls of the air dwelt upon his ruins, and all the beasts of the field were among his branches.

14 Bangkongtetpawiteh, tui teng vah kaawm e thingkungnaw thung dawk a rasangnae a kâoupkhai hoeh nahane doeh. Talai rahim a rahnoumnae tangkom thung hoi, ka kum e tami capanaw koe cei hanelah, duenae be a kâman sak e lah ao toe.

For which cause none of the trees by the waters shall exalt themselves for their height: nor shoot up their tops among the thick branches and leaves, neither shall any of them that are watered stand up in their height: for they are all delivered unto death to the lowest parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down into the pit.

15 BAWIPA Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, ahni teh duenae kho koe a ceinae hnin dawk kadungpoung e hmuen koe, ahni hanelah rohni hoi ka khu han, tuipui kaman teh, ka lenpoung e tuipui ka ban sak, ahni teh Lebanon hanelah rohni ka kho sak teh, kahrawngum e thing pueng ahni kecu dawk a lung a pout awh. (Sheol h7585)

Thus saith the Lord God: In the day when he went down to hell, I brought in mourning, I covered him with the deep: and I withheld its rivers, and restrained the many waters: Libanus grieved for him, and all the trees of the field trembled. (Sheol h7585)

16 A rawpnae a pawlawk dawk, miphun hoi ka pâyaw sak teh, tangkom thung ka kum tangcoung e naw koe sheol ka pabo hnin vah, Eden thing pueng Lebanon thing kahawinaw hoi tui ka net e pueng hah talai rahim vah karoumcalah ao awh. (Sheol h7585)

I shook the nations with the sound of his fall, when I brought him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of pleasure, the choice and best in Libanus, all that were moistened with waters, were comforted in the lowest parts of the earth. (Sheol h7585)

17 Tahloi hoi thei e koe, ahnimouh hai sheol koe lah a kum awh van teh, miphunnaw koe a tâhlip rahim kho ouk kasaknaw a thasainae kutnaw hoi, (Sheol h7585)

For they also shall go down with him to hell to them that are slain by the sword: and the arm of every one shall sit down under his shadow in the midst of the nations. (Sheol h7585)

18 Eden thingnaw thung dawk, bawilennae hoi lentoenae dawk apimaw nang patetlah kaawm. Hateiteh, Eden thingnaw hoi adungpoungnae koe tâkhawng e lah na o han, hetheh Faro hoi a tamihupuinaw doeh, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.

To whom art thou like, O thou that art famous and lofty among the trees of pleasure? Behold, thou art brought down with the trees of pleasure to the lowest parts of the earth: thou shalt sleep in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword: this is Pharao, and all his multitude, saith the Lord God.
