Ezekiel 31
1 Chiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mar adek, e higa mar apar gachiel wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
Now it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, that the word of Jehovah 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 multitude: To whom art thou like in thy greatness?
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.
Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar upon Lebanon, with fair branches; An overshadowing thicket, high of stature; And his top was among thick boughs.
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.
The waters made him great; the deep waters made him high; Their streams went around their plantation, And sent forth their channels 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.
Therefore his height was exalted Above all the trees of the field. And his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long, Because of the abundance of water when he shot forth.
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 his boughs all the birds of heaven made their nests, And under his branches all the beasts of the field brought forth their young; And under his shadow dwelt all the great nations.
7 Ne en yien ma jaber, kendo bedene nokar, nikech tiende nochopo nyaka e pige mogundho man e bwo lowo.
Thus was he beautiful in his greatness, in the length of his branches; For his root was by many 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.
The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him; The cypress-trees were not like his boughs, And the plane-trees were not like his branches. Not any tree in the garden of God Was like to him in his beauty.
9 Ne alose malongʼo kendo mapichni gi bede mogundho, mi nodoko yath ma yedhe duto mag Eden, puoth Nyasaye timogo nyiego.
I made him beautiful in the multitude of his branches, So that all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God, envied him.
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.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because he lifted himself up in stature, And shot up his top among the thick boughs, And his heart was lifted up on account of his height,
11 Kuom mano, ne abole e lwet jatend pinje mondo otiye kaluwore gi timbene maricho.
Therefore I delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations, To deal hardly with him; I drave him out for his wickedness;
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 strangers, the terrible of the nations, cut him off and cast him away. Upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches fell; And his boughs were broken in all the valleys of the land. And all the nations of the earth withdrew from his shadow and left him;
13 Winy duto mafuyo e kor polo nopiyo e yath mopodhono, kendo le duto mag bungu nonyonore e bedene madongo mopodhogo.
Upon his ruin dwelt all the birds of the heavens, And upon his branches were all the beasts of the forest.
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.
To the end that none of all the trees by the waters Might exalt themselves for their stature, Nor shoot up their top among the thick boughs, And that none of the trees that drink water should cleave to them on account of their height; For all of them are delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, In the midst of the sons of men, To them that have gone down to the pit.
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)
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when he went down to the grave, I caused the deep to mourn, I covered it for him; I restrained on account of him the streams, and the great waters were kept back; And I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, And all the trees of the field fainted for 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)
At the sound of his fall I made the nations to shake, When I cast him down to the grave, To them that have gone down to the pit; And all the trees of Eden, The choice and best of Lebanon, Even all that drink water, Were comforted in the lower parts of the earth. (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)
They also went down into the grave with him, To them that have been slain with the sword; They also that were his arm, That dwelt under his shadow 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.
To whom art thou thus like in glory and greatness among the trees of Eden? Thou shalt be brought down with the trees of Eden To the lower parts of the earth; Thou shalt lie down in the midst of the uncircumcised, With them that are slain by the sword. Thus shall it be with Pharaoh and all his multitude, Saith the Lord Jehovah.
