Ezekiel 31
1 Kum hlaibun, thapa yung thum, hnin pasuek nah BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
It happened in the eleventh year, in the third month, in 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, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: 'Whom are you like in your 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.
Look, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with beautiful branches, and with a forest-like shade, and of high stature; and its top was 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 it, the deep made it to grow: its rivers ran all around its plantation; and it sent out its channels to all the trees of the field.
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 its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long by reason of many waters, when it shot them forth.
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.
All the birds of the sky made their nests in its boughs; and under its branches all the animals of the field brought forth their young; and all great nations lived under its 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.
Thus was it beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many 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 garden of God could not hide it; the fir 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 it in its 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.
I made it beautiful by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it.'
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 said the LORD: 'Because you are exalted in stature, and he has set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is 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 will even deliver 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 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.
Strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: on the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the watercourses of the land; and all the peoples of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
13 Kalvan e tavanaw hoi kahrawngum e saringnaw teh ka kâkhoe e a kangnaw van ao awh han.
On his ruin all the birds of the sky shall dwell, and all the animals of the field shall be on 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.
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 on their height, even all who drink water: for they are all delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, among human beings who go down to 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 says the LORD: 'In the day when he went down to Sheol I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained its rivers; 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 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 made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol with those who descend 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 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)
They also went down into Sheol with him to those who are slain by the sword; yes, those who were his arm, that lived 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 are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? Yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lower parts of the earth: you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude,' says the LORD."
