Ezekiel 31
1 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,
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ũmwe, mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri wa gatatũ, kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 Son of man, say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to his people; Whom are you like in your great power?
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, arĩria Firaũni mũthamaki wa Misiri na kĩrĩndĩ gĩake, ũmeere atĩrĩ: “‘Nũũ ũngĩgerekanio nawe ũhoro-inĩ ũkoniĩ ũnene?
3 See, a pine-tree with beautiful branches and thick growth, giving shade and very tall; and its top was among the clouds.
Cũrania ũhoro wa bũrũri wa Ashuri, ũrĩa hĩndĩ ĩmwe warĩ mũtarakwa wa Lebanoni, warĩ na honge thaka, ciahumbĩrĩte mũtitũ ũcio; waraihĩte na igũrũ, gacũmbĩrĩ kaguo gakagĩa igũrũ rĩa mathangũ marĩa matumanu.
4 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.
Wakũragio nĩ maaĩ, ithima iria ndiku nĩciatũmaga ũraihe; tũrũũĩ twa ithima icio twathereraga, tũgathiũrũrũkĩria gĩtina kĩaguo mĩena yothe, na tũgathereria maaĩ mĩtĩ-inĩ yothe ya gĩthaka.
5 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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ũgĩkĩrĩrĩria kũraiha gũkĩra mĩtĩ yothe ya gĩthaka; mathĩgĩ maguo makĩongerereka, na honge ciaguo ikĩraiha, igĩtheerema nĩ ũndũ wa maaĩ kũingĩha.
6 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.
Nyoni ciothe cia rĩera-inĩ igĩaka itara mathĩgĩ-inĩ maguo, nacio nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka ciaciaragĩra rungu rwa honge ciaguo; ndũrĩrĩ ciothe iria nene ciatũũraga kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩaguo.
7 So it was beautiful, being so tall and its branches so long, for its root was by great waters.
Ũthaka waguo warĩ mũkaru, na mathĩgĩ maguo magatheerema, nĩgũkorwo mĩri yaguo nĩyatoonyete thĩ tĩĩri-inĩ kũrĩa kwarĩ na maaĩ maingĩ.
8 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.
Mĩtarakwa ĩrĩa yarĩ mũgũnda wa Ngai ndĩngĩaigananire naguo, kana mĩthengera ĩiganane na mathĩgĩ maguo, o na kana mĩraraciĩ ĩgerekanio na honge ciaguo, gũtiarĩ mũtĩ thĩinĩ wa mũgũnda wa Ngai ũngĩaigananire naguo gũthakara.
9 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.
Nĩ niĩ ndaũthakarĩtie na honge nyingĩ, o nginya mĩtĩ yothe ya Edeni ĩrĩa yarĩ kũu mũgũnda wa Ngai ĩgĩtuĩka ya kũũiguĩra ũiru.
10 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,
“‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Kuona atĩ nĩwaraihĩte na igũrũ, na ũkaraihia mũthia waguo igũrũ rĩa mathangũ marĩa matumanu, na tondũ nĩwetĩĩagĩra kũraiha kwaguo-rĩ,
11 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.
nĩndaũneanire kũrĩ mwathi wa ndũrĩrĩ, nĩguo aũherithie kũringana na ũrĩa waganu waguo watariĩ. Nĩndaũteanirie,
12 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.
naruo rũrĩrĩ rũtarĩ tha o na hanini, rũgakĩria iria ingĩ gũthũka, rũkĩũtema, rũkĩũtiga wagũa. Mathĩgĩ maguo makĩgũa irĩma-igũrũ na mĩkuru-inĩ guothe; nacio honge ciaguo ikĩgũa ciunĩkangĩire kũu ituamba-inĩ ciothe cia bũrũri. Ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia thĩ ikĩehera kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩaguo, igĩtigana naguo.
13 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:
Nyoni ciothe cia rĩera-inĩ igĩtũũra mũtĩ-inĩ ũcio wagwĩte, nacio nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka igĩtũũra kũu honge-inĩ ciaguo.
14 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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũtirĩ mĩtĩ ĩngĩ ĩrĩ kũu gũkuhĩ na maaĩ ĩgaacooka gwĩtĩĩa nĩ ũndũ wa kũraiha na igũrũ, ĩraihie mĩthia yayo igũrũ rĩa mathangũ marĩa matumanu. Gũtirĩ mĩtĩ ĩngĩ ĩnyuĩte maaĩ wega ũguo ĩkaaraiha ta guo; yothe yorotereirio gĩkuũ-inĩ, kũndũ kũriku thĩ, kũrĩa andũ arĩa makuuaga matũũrĩte, o arĩa maikũrũkaga irima.
15 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)
“‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Mũthenya ũrĩa mũtĩ ũcio waikũrũkirio mbĩrĩra-inĩ, nĩndahingire ithima iria ciarĩ ndiku nĩ ũndũ wa kũũcakaĩra; nĩndarũgamirie tũrũũĩ twakuo, namo maaĩ maingĩ makuo makĩhingĩrĩrio. Nĩ ũndũ waguo ngĩhumba Lebanoni nduma, nayo mĩtĩ yothe ya gĩthaka ĩkĩhooha. (Sheol h7585)
16 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)
Nĩndatũmire ndũrĩrĩ ciinainio nĩ mũrurumo waguo ũkĩgũa rĩrĩa ndaũikũrũkirie mbĩrĩra-inĩ hamwe na arĩa maikũrũkaga kũu irima. Hĩndĩ ĩyo mĩtĩ yothe ya Edeni, o ĩrĩa mĩega mũno gũkĩra ĩrĩa ĩngĩ ya Lebanoni, mĩtĩ yothe ĩrĩa yanyuithĩtio maaĩ wega, ĩkĩhoorerio ngoro ĩrĩ thĩ kũu kũriku. (Sheol h7585)
17 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)
Arĩa othe maatũũraga kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩaguo, arĩa maarĩ ngwatanĩro naguo gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ, o nao nĩmaikũrũkĩtio mbĩrĩra-inĩ hamwe naguo, mageturanĩra na arĩa maanooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora. (Sheol h7585)
18 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.
“‘Nĩ mũtĩ ũrĩkũ harĩ mĩtĩ ya Edeni ũngĩgerekanio nawe ũhoro-inĩ ũkoniĩ riiri na ũnene? No rĩrĩ, o nawe nĩũgaikũrũkio hamwe na mĩtĩ ya Edeni nginya kũu thĩ kũriku; ũgaakoma gatagatĩ ka andũ arĩa mataruaga, hamwe na arĩa mooragirwo na rũhiũ rwa njora. “‘Ũcio nĩwe Firaũni na kĩrĩndĩ gĩake gĩothe, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.’”
