Ezekiel 31
1 In the eleventh year, on the first day of the third month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Waggaa kudha tokkoffaatti, jiʼa sadaffaa keessa, guyyaa tokkoffaatti dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
2 “Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his multitude: ‘Who can be compared to your greatness?
“Yaa ilma namaa, Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxii fi tuuta namoota isaatiin akkana jedhi: “‘Surraadhaan eenyutu siin qixxaata?
3 Look at Assyria, a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches that shaded the forest. It towered on high; its top was among the clouds.
Kunoo Asoor akka birbirsa Libaanoon kan dameewwan mimmiidhagoo qabuu fi bosonaaf gaaddisa taʼee akka malee ol dheeraa fi kan fiixeen isaa duumessa tuqe ture.
4 The waters made it grow; the deep springs made it tall, directing their streams all around its base and sending their channels to all the trees of the field.
Bishaan isa biqilche; burqaawwan gad fagoon immoo isa guddise; lageen isaanii hidda isaa hunda marsanii yaaʼanii bishaan isaanii gara mukkeen bosonaa hundaatti ergu.
5 Therefore it towered higher than all the trees of the field. Its branches multiplied, and its boughs grew long as it spread them out because of the abundant waters.
Kanaafuu inni mukkeen bosonaa hundaan olitti akka malee ol dheerate; lataan isaa ni baayʼate; dameen isaas ni guddate; inni bishaan baayʼee argatee babalʼateeraatii.
6 All the birds of the air nested in its branches, and all the beasts of the field gave birth beneath its boughs; all the great nations lived in its shade.
Simbirroonni samii hundi damee isaa irratti manʼee ijaarratan; bineensonni dirree hundi damee isaa jalatti dhalan; saboonni gurguddaan hundinuus, gaaddisa isaa jala jiraatan.
7 It was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its limbs, for its roots extended to abundant waters.
Inni sababii hidda isaa gara bishaan baayʼeetti gad fageeffateef, dameewwan isaa kanneen babalʼatan wajjin akka malee miidhagaa ture.
8 The cedars in the garden of God could not rival it; the cypresses could not compare with its branches, nor the plane trees match its boughs. No tree in the garden of God could compare with its beauty.
Gaattiraawwan iddoo biqiltuu Waaqaa keessa jiran isa gituu hin dandeenye; yookaan mukkeen birbirsaa dameewwan isaatiin hin qixxaatan; mukni waddeessaas dameewwan isaatiin hin qixxaatu; mukni iddoo biqiltuu Waaqaa keessa jiru tokko iyyuu miidhagina isaatiin wal bira hin qabamu.
9 I made it beautiful with its many branches, the envy of all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God.’
Ani dameewwan baayʼeedhaan isa nan miidhagse; mukkeen Eeden kanneen iddoo biqiltuu Waaqaa keessa jiran hundi isatti hinaafan.
10 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Since it became great in height and set its top among the clouds, and it grew proud on account of its height,
“‘Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Sababii inni ol dheeratee fiixeen isaa duumessa tuqee inni dheerina isaatiin of tuuleef,
11 I delivered it into the hand of the ruler of the nations, for him to deal with it according to its wickedness. I have banished it.
akka inni waan hammina isaatiif malu isaaf kennuuf, ani dabarseen bulchaa sabootaatti isa kenne. Darbadhees isa nan gate;
12 Foreigners, the most ruthless of the nations, cut it down and left it. Its branches have fallen on the mountains and in every valley; its boughs lay broken in all the earth’s ravines. And all the peoples of the earth left its shade and abandoned it.
alagoonni akka malee hamoonis cicciranii isa gatan. Lataawwan isaa gaarran irraa fi sululawwan keessatti harcaʼa; dameewwan isaa immoo cicciramanii boʼoowwan bishaanii hunda keessa buʼan. Saboonni lafaa hundi gaaddisa isaa jalaa baʼanii isa dhiisanii deeman.
13 All the birds of the air nested on its fallen trunk, and all the beasts of the field lived among its boughs.
Simbirroonni samii hundi muka jige sana irra qubatan; bineensonni dirree hundinuus dameewwan isaa gidduu turan.
14 This happened so that no other trees by the waters would become great in height and set their tops among the clouds, and no other well-watered trees would reach them in height. For they have all been consigned to death, to the depths of the earth, among the mortals who descend to the Pit.’
Kanaafuu mukni bishaan bira jiru kam iyyuu akka malee hin guddatu yookaan fiixeen isaa duumessa hin tuqu. Mukni akkasitti bishaan quufe kam iyyuu akkas ol dheeratee hin beeku. Isaan hundi warra duʼanii boolla qileetti gad buʼan wajjin akka duʼan itti murteeffameera.
15 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘On the day it was brought down to Sheol, I caused mourning. I covered the deep because of it; I held back its rivers; its abundant waters were restrained. I made Lebanon mourn for it, and all the trees of the field fainted because of it. (Sheol h7585)
“‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedhe: Guyyaa inni awwaalametti ani isaaf jedhee burqaawwan gad fagoo gaddaan nan guute; lageen isaa nan ittise; bishaan isaa guddichis yaaʼuu dhiise. Sababii isaatiif ani Libaanoonitti dukkana nan uffise; mukkeen dirree hundis ni gogan. (Sheol h7585)
16 I made the nations quake at the sound of its downfall, when I cast it down to Sheol with those who descend to the Pit. Then all the trees of Eden, the choicest and best of Lebanon, all the well-watered trees, were consoled in the earth below. (Sheol h7585)
Yommuu ani warra boolla buʼan sanatti dabalee awwaala keessa isa buusutti sagalee kufaatii isaatiin ani saboota nan hollachiisa. Ergasiis mukkeen Eeden kanneen Libaanoon keessaa filatamoo fi kan addaa taʼan hundi, mukkeen akka gaarii bishaan obaafaman hundi boolla keessatti jajjabeeffaman. (Sheol h7585)
17 They too descended with it to Sheol, to those slain by the sword. As its allies they had lived in its shade among the nations. (Sheol h7585)
Warri gaaddisa isaa jala jiraatan kanneen saboota gidduudhaa isaaf tumsan, warra goraadeedhaan ajjeefamanitti makamuuf isa wajjin awwaala keessa buʼan. (Sheol h7585)
18 Who then is like you in glory and greatness among the trees of Eden? You also will be brought down to the depths of the earth to be with the trees of Eden. You will lie among the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares the Lord GOD.’”
“‘Mukkeen Eeden keessaa kan ulfinaa fi surraadhaan siin qixxaatu kami? Taʼu iyyuu mukkeen Eeden wajjin boolla buuta; ati warra goraadeedhaan ajjeefaman wajjin, namoota dhagna hin qabatin gidduu ciifta. “‘Kun Faraʼoonii fi waldaa uummata isaa hunda, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’”
