Ezekiel 31

1 Chiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mar adek, e higa mar apar gachiel wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

Now 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 Wuod dhano, wach ni Farao ruodh Misri kaachiel gi ogandane mag lweny kama: En ngʼa ma inyalo pim kodi?

Son of man, say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to his people; Whom are you like in your great power?

3 Parie Asuria, machon ne chalo yiend sida e piny Lebanon, ne en gi bede mabeyo mokar moimo bungu duto. Nodongo marabora kodhi malo ma wiye oyombo wi yiende duto manie bungu.

See, a pine-tree with beautiful branches and thick growth, giving shade and very tall; and its top was among the clouds.

4 Aore duto manie bwo lowo, ne miyo yien-go dongo, nikech ne gitero pi, kama yien-go opidhie; kendo negikeyo pi, ne yiende duto mopidh e bunguno.

It got strength from the waters and the deep made it tall: its streams went round about its planted land and it sent out its waterways to all the trees of the field.

5 Omiyo nodongo marabora ma oyombo yiende duto mag bungu; bedene madongo nomedo yarore kendo bedene matindo nodongo ma roboche, kendo noyarore nikech negiyudo pi moromogi.

In this way it became taller than all the trees of the field; and its branches were increased and its arms became long because of the great waters.

6 Winy duto mafuyo e kor polono gedo e bedene, kendo le duto mag bungu nonywol e bwo bedene; to pinje duto maroteke ne yweyo e bwo tipone.

In its branches all the birds of heaven came to rest, and under its arms all the beasts of the field gave birth to their young, and great nations were living in its shade.

7 Ne en yien ma jaber, kendo bedene nokar, nikech tiende nochopo nyaka e pige mogundho man e bwo lowo.

So it was beautiful, being so tall and its branches so long, for its root was by great waters.

8 Bepe mag sida manie puoth Nyasaye ne ok nyal pim kode, kata yiende mag obudo, ne onge gi bede madongo kaka mage; to bende onge yien moro amora makore poth moriere tir mane inyalo pim gi bedene, chutho, onge yath moro amora e puoth Nyasaye mane jaber moloye.

No cedars were equal to it in the garden of God; the fir-trees were not like its branches, and plane-trees were as nothing in comparison with its arms; no tree in the garden of God was so beautiful.

9 Ne alose malongʼo kendo mapichni gi bede mogundho, mi nodoko yath ma yedhe duto mag Eden, puoth Nyasaye timogo nyiego.

I made it beautiful with its mass of branches: so that all the trees in the garden of God were full of envy of it.

10 Kuom mano, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Nikech yadhno nodongo marabora kochomo polo kendo kane odongo marabora kamano sunga nomake.

For this cause the Lord has said: Because he is tall, and has put his top among the clouds, and his heart is full of pride because he is so high,

11 Kuom mano, ne abole e lwet jatend pinje mondo otiye kaluwore gi timbene maricho.

I have given him up into the hands of a strong one of the nations; he will certainly give him the reward of his sin, driving him out.

12 Ne asedage kendo jopinje moko mager notongʼe mowite kucha. Bedene madongo nopodho ewi gode kendo ei holni duto; bedene mamoko noriere piny kotur otur e holni madiny mag piny. Ogendini duto mag piny nowuok oa e bwo tipone modar oweye.

And men from strange lands, who are to be feared among the nations, after cutting him off, have let him be: on the mountains and in all the valleys his branches have come down; his arms are broken by all the waterways of the land; all the peoples of the earth have gone from his shade, and have let him be.

13 Winy duto mafuyo e kor polo nopiyo e yath mopodhono, kendo le duto mag bungu nonyonore e bedene madongo mopodhogo.

All the birds of heaven have come to rest on his broken stem where it is stretched on the earth, and all the beasts of the field will be on his branches:

14 Kuom mano, onge yath moro kata bed ni oyudo pi mangʼeny manade manochak odong mabor ma wiye chop e polo kamano. Giduto nyaka githo mana kaka dhano tho mi gidhi e piny joma otho.

In order that no trees by the waters may be lifted up in their growth, putting their tops among the clouds; and that no trees which are watered may take their place on high: for they are all given up to death, to the lowest parts of the earth among the children of men, with those who go down to the underworld.

15 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Chiengʼ ma yadhno dhi e piny joma otho, anami pi manie bwo lowo ime kendo ywage. Anagengʼ aore mondo kik mol kendo anakel mudho e got Lebanon mana nikech en mi ami yien manie bungu duto two mana nikech en. (Sheol h7585)

This is what the Lord has said: The day when he goes down to the underworld, I will make the deep full of grief for him; I will keep back her streams and the great waters will be stopped: I will make Lebanon dark for him, and all the trees of the field will be feeble because of him. (Sheol h7585)

16 Namiyo pinje oyiengni kane giwinjo mor mar podho mare, chiengʼ mane atere e liel kaachiel gi joma otho. Eka yiende duto mag Eden, ma gin yiende mabeyo mogik mag Lebanon gin yiende duto mane pi oromo maber, chunygi noduogo e piny mamwalo. (Sheol h7585)

I will send shaking on the nations at the sound of his fall, when I send him down to the underworld with those who go down into the deep: and on earth they will be comforting themselves, all the trees of Eden, the best of Lebanon, even all the watered ones. (Sheol h7585)

17 Joma nodak e bwo tipone kod pinje mane jokore bende notho kaachiel kode, kendo ne giriwore gi joma ne otho e lweny. (Sheol h7585)

And they will go down with him to the underworld, to those who have been put to the sword; even those who were his helpers, living under his shade among the nations (Sheol h7585)

18 “En yien mane man Eden minyalo pimo kodi kuom duongʼ gi lich? To kata kamano, in bende ibiro dwoki piny kaachiel gi yiende mag Eden nyaka e piny mamwalo. Ibiro rieri piny e dier joma ok oter nyangu, kendo iki gi joma noneg e lweny.” Mano en Farao kod jokedo mage duto, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.

Whom then are you like? for you will be sent down with the trees of Eden into the lowest parts of the earth: there you will be stretched out among those without circumcision, with those who were put to the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his people, says the Lord.
