Jezekiel 31
1 And it came to pass 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 premye jou twazyèm mwa onzyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
2 Son of man, say to Pharao king of Egypt, and to his multitude; To whom hast thou compared thyself in thy haughtiness?
-Nonm o! Pale ak farawon an, wa peyi Lejip la, ansanm ak tout pèp li a. Di yo. -Jan ou gen pouvwa sa a, Kisa mwen ta di ou sanble la a!
3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cypress in Libanus, and was fair in shoots, and high in stature: his top reached to the midst of the clouds.
Bon. Ou tankou yon pye sèd nan peyi Liban avèk gwo bèl branch li yo plen fèy ki bay gwo lonbraj, yon pyebwa byen wo ak tèt li pèdi nan nwaj yo.
4 The water nourished him, the depth made him grow tall; she led her rivers round about his plants, and she sent forth her streams to all the trees of the field.
Lapli tonbe fè l' pouse Rivyè anba tè fè l' grandi. Gwo dlo pete nan tout rasin li yo. Yo fè kannal wouze tout pyebwa nan zòn lan.
5 Therefore was his stature exalted above all the trees of the field, and his branches spread far by the help of much water.
Paske li te jwenn anpil dlo, li te grandi, li vin pi wo pase tout lòt pyebwa yo. Branch li pran fòs, yo vin byen long.
6 All the birds of the sky made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches all the wild beasts of the field bred; the whole multitude of nations dwelt under his shadow.
Tout kalite zwezo te vin fè nich nan branch li yo. Se anba branch li yo bèt nan bwa vin miba. Se nan lonbraj li anpil nasyon vin chita.
7 And he was fair in his height by reason of the multitude of his branches: for his roots were amidst much water.
Se te yon bèl pyebwa byen wo, ak branch li yo byen long. Rasin li yo te desann byen fon nan dlo anba tè a.
8 And such cypresses [as this] were in the paradise of God; and there were no pines like his shoots, and there were no firs like his branches: no tree in the paradise of God was like him in his beauty,
Nan jaden Bondye a, pa t' gen pye sèd tankou l'. Okenn pye pichpen pa t' gen branch tankou pa l' yo. Okenn pye sikren pa t' gen ti branch konsa. Nan jaden Bondye a, pa t' gen bèl pyebwa tankou l'.
9 because of the multitude of his branches: and the trees of God's paradise of delight envied him.
Mwen te fè l' byen bèl ak anpil branch. Nan jaden Edenn lan, jaden Bondye a, tout pyebwa te anvye sò l'.
10 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Because thou art grown great, and hast set thy top in the midst of the clouds, and I saw when he was exalted;
Koulye a, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: Paske li te grandi byen wo a, paske tèt li te pèdi nan nwaj yo, li kite lògèy vire tèt li.
11 therefore I delivered him into the hands of the prince of the nations, and he wrought his destruction.
Se poutèt sa, mwen voye l' jete, mwen lage l' nan men gwo chèf tout nasyon yo pou fè l' peye tout mechanste l' yo.
12 And ravaging strangers from the nations have destroyed him, and have cast him down upon the mountains: his branches fell in all the valleys, and his boughs were broken in every field of the land; and all the people of the nations are gone down from their shelter, and have laid him low.
Yon bann moun lòt nasyon vini. Mechan pase yo pa genyen. Yo koupe pyebwa a, yo lage l' atè. Ti branch li yo gaye sou tout mòn yo ak nan fon yo. Gwo branch li yo kase, yo tonbe nan tout ravin nan peyi a. Moun lòt nasyon ki t'ap viv nan lonbraj li yo, tout met deyò, yo kite l' pou kont li.
13 All the birds of the sky have settled on his fallen trunk, and all the wild beasts of the field came upon his boughs:
Zwezo vini poze sou rès pyebwa ki atè a. Bèt nan bwa ap mache sou tout branch li yo.
14 in order that none of the trees by the water should exalt themselves by reason of their size: whereas they set their top in the midst of the clouds, yet they continued not in their high state in their place, all that drank water, all were consigned to death, to the depth of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
Konsa, depi jòdi a, yon pyebwa te mèt wouze byen wouze, li p'ap janm rive wotè sa a ankò. Li p'ap janm grandi pou tèt li rive pèdi nan nwaj yo ankò. Yon pyebwa te mèt byen wouze li p'ap rive wotè sa a ankò pou l'ap gonfle lestonmak li sou mwen. Tout pyebwa yo gen pou mouri tankou moun, yo gen pou yo desann al jwenn moun ki deja anba tè yo.
15 Thus saith the Lord God; In the day wherein he went down to Hades, the deep mourned for him: and I stayed her floods, and restrained her abundance of water: and Libanus saddened for him, all the trees of the field fainted for him. (Sheol h7585)
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Jou pyebwa a desann nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, m'ap fè dlo anba tè a kouvri l' nèt, pou tout moun ka nan lapenn. M'ap fè dlo larivyè yo sispann koule. M' p'ap kite ankenn dlo koule nan kannal. M'ap voye yon gwo fènwa sou mòn peyi Liban yo. Tout rakbwa nan zòn lan pral deperi poutèt li. (Sheol h7585)
16 At the sound of his fall the nations quaked, when I brought him down to Hades with them that go down to the pit: and all the trees of Delight comforted him in the heart, and the choice of [plants] of Libanus, all that drink water. (Sheol h7585)
Lè mwen voye l' jete nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, bri li fè lè l'ap tonbe a fè tout nasyon yo tranble. Tout pyebwa nan jaden Edenn, tout pi bèl pyebwa nan peyi Liban, pyebwa ki te byen wouze yo men ki te desann ale deja nan peyi kote mò yo ye a pral kontan tonbe li tonbe a. (Sheol h7585)
17 For they went down to hell with him among the slain with the sword; and his seed, [even] they that dwelt under his shadow, perished in the midst of their life. (Sheol h7585)
Y'ap desann ansanm avè l' nan peyi kote mò yo ye a pou y' al jwenn sa ki te mouri nan lagè anvan yo. Lè sa a, tout moun ki t'ap viv nan lonbraj li yo pral gaye nan mitan tout lòt nasyon yo. (Sheol h7585)
18 To whom art thou compared? descend, and be thou debased with the trees of paradise to the depth of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword. Thus shall Pharao be, and the multitude of his host, saith the Lord God.
Nan tout pyebwa jaden Edenn yo, kilès ki te bèl, kilès ki te wo tankou ou? Men koulye a, tankou tout lòt pyebwa jaden an, ou pral desann ale nan peyi ki anba tè a. Ou pral jwenn moun ki pa pote mak kontra Bondye a, moun ki mouri nan lagè yo. Se sa k'ap rive farawon an ansanm ak tout pèp li a. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki pale.
