Ezekiel 31
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third [month], in the first [day] of the month, that the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ogumu, mu mwezi ogwokusatu ku lunaku olw’olubereberye, ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
2 Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
“Omwana w’omuntu, tegeeza Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri n’olufulube lw’abantu be nti, “‘Ani ayinza okwegeraageranya naawe mu kitiibwa?
3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a forest-like shade, and of high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs.
Tunuulira Obwasuli, ogwali omuvule mu Lebanooni, nga gulina amatabi amalungi agaasiikirizanga ekibira; ogwali omuwanvu ennyo, nga guyitamu ne mu kasolya ak’ekibira.
4 The waters nourished it, the deep made it to grow: the rivers thereof ran round about its plantation; and it sent out its channels unto all the trees of the field.
Amazzi gaaguliisanga, n’enzizi ezikka wansi ennyo ne ziguwanvuya, n’emigga gyagyo ne gigwetooloola wonna, ne giweerezanga n’amatabi gaagyo eri emiti gyonna egy’omu ttale.
5 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.
Kyegwava gukula ne guwanvuwa okusinga emiti gyonna egy’omu kibira, n’amatabi gaagwo amanene ne geeyongera obunene, n’amatabi gaagwo amatono ne gawanvuwa ne gasaasaana olw’obungi bw’amazzi.
6 All the birds of the heavens made their nests in its boughs; and under its branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young; and under its shadow dwelt all great nations.
Ebinyonyi byonna eby’omu bbanga ne bizimba ebisu byazo mu matabi gaagwo amanene, n’ensolo enkambwe ez’oku ttale ne zizaaliranga wansi w’amatabi gaagwo, n’amawanga gonna amakulu ne gabeeranga wansi w’ekisiikirize kyagwo.
7 Thus was it fair in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters.
Gwali gwa kitalo mu bulungi bwagwo, n’amatabi gaagwo amanene, kubanga emirandira gyagwo gyasima awali amazzi amangi.
8 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 unto it in its beauty.
Emivule egyali mu nnimiro ya Katonda tegyayinza kuguvuganya, newaakubadde emiberoosi okwenkana n’amatabi gaagwo amanene; n’emyalamooni nga tegifaanana matabi gaagwo amatono, so nga tewali muti mu nnimiro ya Katonda ogugwenkana mu bulungi.
9 I made it fair by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it.
Nagulungiya n’amatabi amangi, emiti gyonna egy’omu Adeni egyali mu nnimiro ya Katonda ne gigukwatirwa obuggya.
10 Therefore thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thou art exalted in stature, and he hath set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
“‘Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera bw’ati nti; Kubanga gwegulumiza, ne gwewanika waggulu okuyita mu kasolya ak’ekibira, ate ne guba n’amalala olw’obuwanvu bwagwo,
11 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.
kyendiva nguwaayo mu mukono gw’omufuzi ow’amawanga agukole ng’obutali butuukirivu bwagwo bwe buli, era ngugobye.
12 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon 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.
Era bannaggwanga abasingirayo ddala obukambwe baagutema ne bagusuula. Amatabi gaagwo amanene gaagwa ku nsozi ne mu biwonvu byonna, n’amatabi gaagwo amatono ne gagwa nga gamenyese mu biwonvu byonna eby’ensi. N’amawanga gonna ag’oku nsi gaava wansi w’ekisiikirize kyagwo, ne gagulekawo.
13 Upon his ruin all the birds of the heavens shall dwell, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches;
Ebinyonyi byonna eby’omu bbanga ne bituula ku matabi agaagwa, era n’ensolo enkambwe ez’oku ttale zonna ne zibeera mu matabi gaagwo.
14 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 in their height, [even] all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
Kyewaliva walema okubaawo emiti okumpi n’amazzi egirikula ne giwanvuwa ne gyegulumiza n’okutuuka okuyita mu kasolya k’ekibira. Era tewalibaawo miti mirala egyafukirirwa obulungi egiriwanvuwa okutuuka awo, kubanga gyonna giweereddwayo eri okufa, okugenda emagombe, mu bantu abaabulijjo, n’abo abakka mu bunnya.
15 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when he went down to Sheol I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the rivers thereof; 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)
“‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ku lunaku lwe gwaleetebwa wansi emagombe, enzizi zaagukaabira, era naziyiza n’emigga gyagwo, n’amazzi gaagwo amangi okukulukuta. Ku lulwe nayambaza Lebanooni obuyinike, n’emiti gyonna egy’oku ttale ne gikala. (Sheol h7585)
16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol with them that descend into the pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the nether parts of the earth. (Sheol h7585)
Naleetera amawanga okukankana olw’eddoboozi ery’okugwa kwagwo bwe naguserengesa emagombe n’abo abaserengeta wansi mu bunnya. Olwo emiti gyonna egya Adeni, egy’amaanyi era egisingayo obulungi egya Lebanooni emiti gyonna egyali gifukiriddwa obulungi amazzi, ne gizzibwamu amaanyi wansi mu nsi. (Sheol h7585)
17 They also went down into Sheol with him unto them that are slain by the sword; yea, they that were his arm, [that] dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
Abo bonna ababeera mu kisiikirize kyagwo, n’amawanga agassanga ekimu nabo, bakirira nabo emagombe ne beegatta ku abo abattibwa n’ekitala. (Sheol h7585)
18 To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord Jehovah.
“‘Muti ki mu gy’omu Adeni ogw’enkana naawe mu bukulu mu kitiibwa kyo? Era naye, olisuulibwa wamu n’emiti egy’omu Adeni n’oserengeta emagombe, n’ogalamira eyo wamu n’abatali bakomole, n’abo abattibwa n’ekitala. “‘Ono ye Falaawo n’ekibinja kye kyonna, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’”
