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,
Nan onzyèm ane, nan twazyèm mwa, nan premye nan mwa a, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
2 Son of man, say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to his people; Whom are you like in your great power?
“Fis a lòm, pale a Farawon, wa Égypte la, ak gwo foul lame li yo: ‘Ak kilès ou sanble nan grandè ou?
3 See, a pine-tree with beautiful branches and thick growth, giving shade and very tall; and its top was among the clouds.
Gade byen, Assyrie te yon pye sèd nan Liban. Branch li yo te bèl nan lonbraj forè a, e byen wo. Tèt li te rive pami nwaj yo.
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.
Dlo te fè l grandi, pwofondè te fè li wo. Ak rivyè li yo, li te tout tan ap vin elaji lizyè li toupatou. Li te voye kanal li yo nan tout pyebwa chan yo.
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.
Akoz sa, wotè li te piwo ke tout pyebwa chan yo, e branch li yo te vin anpil e byen long akoz anpil dlo ki te fè l gaye yo.
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.
Tout zwazo syèl yo te fè nich nan branch li yo. Anba branch sila yo, tout bèt chan yo te vin fè pitit. Tout gran nasyon yo te vin rete anba lonbraj li.
7 So it was beautiful, being so tall and its branches so long, for its root was by great waters.
Konsa, li te bèl nan grandè li, nan longè branch li yo; paske rasin li te lonje rive kote anpil dlo.
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.
Pye sèd nan jaden Bondye yo pa t ka egal ak li. Pye sipre yo pa t ka gen branch tankou l, ni pa t gen lòt bwa ki konpare ak branch li yo. Menm bwa pen an pa t gen branch kon li. Pa t gen pyebwa nan jaden Bondye yo ki ta ka parèy li nan bèlte.
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.
Mwen te fè l bèl ak fòs kantite branch li yo, e tout pyebwa Éden yo te jalou devan l.’
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,
“Akoz sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Akoz li byenwo nan wotè l, te mete tèt li rive pami nwaj yo, e kè l te awogan nan wotè li,
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.
pou sa, Mwen va livre li nan men a pi pwisan an a nasyon yo. Li va regle sa nèt. Selon mechanste li, konsa Mwen te chase li.
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.
Etranje yo, pi pwisan a nasyon yo, te koupe li a tè e te kite li. Sou mòn yo e nan tout vale yo, branch li yo te vin tonbe, e gwo branch li yo te vin kase nan tout ravin peyi yo. Konsa, tout pèp sou latè yo te desann kite lonbraj li e te menm kite li.
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:
Nan gwo dega li yo, tout zwazo syèl yo va vin demere e tout bèt chan yo va sou branch pa l ki tonbe,
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.
pou tout pyebwa akote dlo yo pa ka vin leve tèt yo wo nan wotè yo. Pwisan pa yo p ap mete tèt yo pami nwaj yo, menm sa yo akote sous dlo yo pa ka kanpe dwat nan wotè yo. Paske yo tout te livre a lanmò, pou rive anba tè pami fis a lòm yo, ak sila ki desann nan twou fòs yo.’
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)
“Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Nan jou ke li te desann nan sejou mò yo, Mwen te koze lamantasyon. Mwen te fèmen pwofondè a sou li epi te bouche rivyè li yo. Epi anpil dlo li yo Mwen te vin bouche nèt. Mwen te fè Liban kriye ak gwo doulè pou li e tout pyebwa nan chan yo te vin fennen akoz li. (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)
Mwen te fè tout nasyon yo tranble nan son a chit li a, lè M t ap fè l desann nan sejou mò yo ak sila ki desann nan twou fòs yo. Tout pyebwa byen wouze Liban yo, pi byen chwazi ak pi meyè a Liban yo, te vin rekonfòte anba tè. (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)
Yo menm tou te desann avè l nan sejou mò yo akote sila ki te touye pa nepe yo. Epi sila ki te fòs li yo, te rete anba lonbraj li pami nasyon yo. (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.
“‘A kilès nan pyebwa Éden yo ou egal konsa nan glwa ak grandè? Malgre sa, ou va vin desann ak pyebwa Éden yo jis rive anba tè. Ou va vin kouche nan mitan ensikonsi yo, avèk sila ki te touye pa nepe yo. “‘Se konsa Farawon va ye ak tout gwo foul lame li yo!” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.”
