< 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,
EIA hoi kekahi, i ka makahiki umikumamakahi, i ka malama kolu, i ka la mua o ka malama; hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
2 Son of man, say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to his people; Whom are you like in your great power?
E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e olelo aku oe ia Parao ko Aigupita alii, a me kona lehulehu, Owai la ka mea e like ai me oe i kou nui ana?
3 See, a pine-tree with beautiful branches and thick growth, giving shade and very tall; and its top was among the clouds.
Aia hoi, o ka Asuria, he laau kedera no Lebanona ia, he nani kona mau lala, he ululaau malumalu, he kino kiekie; aia hoi kona welau iwaena o na lala paapu.
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.
Na na wai i hoonui ia ia, ua hookiekie ka hohonu ia ia me kona mau waikahe e kahe ana a puni kona wahi i kanuia'i, a ua hoopuka ae i kona mau kahawai liilii i na kumu laau a pau.
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.
Nolaila i hookiekieia'i kona kiekie, maluna o na laau a pau o ke kula, a ua hoonuiia kona mau lala, a loloa ae la kona mau lala no ka nui o kona mau wai, i kona kupu ana'e.
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.
Maloko o kona mau lala i hana aku ai na manu a pau o ka lewa i ko lakou mau punana, a maloko iho o kona mau lala i hanau ai na holoholona a pau o ke kula i ka lakou mau keiki, a malalo iho o kona mala i noho ai na lahuikanaka nui a pau.
7 So it was beautiful, being so tall and its branches so long, for its root was by great waters.
Nolaila i nani ai ia i kona nui, a me ka loloa ana o kona mau lala; no ka mea, aia kona kumu ma na wai nui.
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.
Aole i hiki i ke kedera iloko o ka mala a ke Akua, ke hoonalo ia ia; aole like ka laau hukaa me kona mau lala, aole like ka laau pelatano me kona mau lala; aole laau iloko o ka mala a ke Akua i like me ia i kona nani.
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.
Ua hana aku au ia ia i nani no ka nui loa o kona mau lala, i huahua hoi na laau a pau o Edena iloko o ka mala a ke Akua ia ia.
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,
No ia mea la, ke olelo mai nei Iehova ka Haku, No kou hookiekie ana ia oe iho i kiekie; a hoopuka aku oia i kona welau iwaena o na lala paapu, a ua hookiekie kona naau i kona kiekie;
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.
Nolaila i haawi aku au ia ia i ka lima o ka mea mana no na lahuikanaka, e hana no oia ia ia; ua kipaku aku au ia ia no kona hewa.
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.
A o na malihini, na mea weliweli o na lahuikanaka, ua oki aku lakou ia ia, a waiho aku ia ia ma na mauna, a ua haule kona mau lala ma na awawa a pau, a ua hakihaki kona mau lala ma na muliwai o ka honua, a iho iho la na lahuikanaka a pau o ka honua mai kona malu iho, a ua haalele ia ia.
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:
A e noho na manu a pau o ka lewa maluna o kona puu opala, a me na holoholona o ke kula maluna o kona mau lala;
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.
I mea e hookiekie ole ai kekahi o na laau a pau ma na wai, no ko lakou kiekie, aole hoi e hoopuka i ko lakou welau mawaena o na lala paapu, aole hoi e ku iluna ko lakou mau laau i ko lakou kiekie, o na mea a pau e inu ana i ka wai; no ka mea, ua haawiia lakou a pau i ka make i ko lalo mau wahi o ka honua iwaena o na keiki a kanaka, me na mea e iho ana i ka lua.
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 )
Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; i ka la i iho ai ia i ka luakupapau, hana hoi au e kanikau; ua uhi au i ka hohonu nona, a ua kaohi au i kona mau muliwai, a ua hoopaaia na wai nui; a hana aku au e kanikau o Lebauona nona, a maule ae la na laau a pau o ke kula nona. (Sheol )
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 )
Ua hoohaalulu au i na lahuikanaka i ka halulu ana o kona haule ana, i kuu wa i hoolei iho ai au ia ia i ka po, me ka poe e iho ana i ka lua; a e oluolu pu na laau a pau i ko lalo wahi o ka honua, na laau a pau o Edena, o na mea i waeia a he maikai o Lebanona, a me na mea a pau e inuwai ana. (Sheol )
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 )
E iho iho la lakou me ia i ka po, i ka poe i pepehiia me ka pahikaua, a o ka poe i lilo i lima nona, a noho iho la malalo iho o kona malu, iwaenakonu o na lahuikanaka. (Sheol )
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.
Owai la kou mea e like ai i ka nani, a me ka nui iwaena o na laau o Edena? aka, e hooiho oe ilalo me na laau o Edena i ko lalo mau wahi o ka honua: a e moe oe iwaena o ka poe okipoepoe ole ia me ka poe i pepehiia me ka pahikaua. Oia hoi, o Parao a me kona lehulehu a pau, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
