< 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,
एघारौं वर्षको तेस्रो महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
2 Son of man, say to Pharao king of Egypt, and to his multitude; To whom have you compared yourself in your haughtiness?
“ए मानिसको छोरा, मिश्रदेशको राजा फारो, र त्यसको वरिपरि भएका धेरै भीडलाई यसो भन्, ‘तेरो महान्‌तामा, तँ कोजस्तो छस्?
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.
हेर्! लेबनानमा अश्शूर, सुन्दर हाँगाहरू भएको लेबनानको एउटा देवदारु थियो, जसले वनलाई छाया दियो, र त्यो उचाइमा सबैभन्दा अग्लो थियो, र त्यसका हाँगाहरू टुप्पोसम्म पुगेका थिए ।
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.
धेरै पानीले त्यसलाई अग्लो बनायो । गहिरो पानीले त्यो विशाल भयो । त्यसको वरिपरिबाट नदीहरू बगे, र त्यसका धारहरू मैदानका सारा रूखहरूकहाँ फैलिए ।
5 Therefore was his stature exalted above all the trees of the field, and his branches spread far by the help of much water.
मैदानका अरू सबै रूखभन्दा त्यसको उचाइ धेरै थियो, र त्यसका हाँगाहरू धेरै भए । पानी प्रशस्त भएको कारणले त्यसका हाँगाहरू लामा-लामा भए ।
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 lived under his shadow.
आकाशका हरेक चराले त्यसका हाँगाहरूमा गुँड बनाए, र त्यसका शितल छहारीमा जमिनका सारा प्रानीले बच्‍चा जन्माए । धेरै जातिहरूका सबैले त्यसको छायामुनि बास गरे ।
7 And he was fair in his height by reason of the multitude of his branches: for his roots were amidst much water.
त्यसको महान्‌तामा त्यो सुन्दर थियो र त्यसका हाँगाहरू लामा-लामा थिए, किनकि त्यसका जराहरू प्रशस्त पानीमा थिए ।
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,
परमेश्‍वरका बगैंचाका देवदारुहरू पनि त्योबराबर थिएनन् । कुनै पनि सल्लाको रूखका हाँगाहरू त्यसकोझैं थिएनन्, र चिनारको रूख त्यसका हाँगाहरूसित दाँज्न सकिंदैनथ्यो । परमेश्‍वरको बगैंचामा त्यसको सुन्दरतासँग मेल गर्न सकिने कुनै अर्को रूख थिएन ।
9 because of the multitude of his branches: and the trees of God's paradise of delight envied him.
मैले त्यसका धेरै हाँगासित त्यसलाई सुन्दर बनाएँ र परमेश्‍वरको बगैंचामा भएका अदनका सबै रूखले त्यसको डाह गर्थे ।
10 Therefore thus says the Lord; Because you are grown great, and have set your top in the midst of the clouds, and I saw when he was exalted;
यसैकारण परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: त्यो उचाइमा अग्लो भएको कारण, र त्यसको टुप्पो त्यसका हाँगाहरूका बिचमा भएको हुनाले, आफ्नो उचाइको कारण त्यो घमण्डले फुल्यो ।
11 therefore I delivered him into the hands of the prince of the nations, and he wrought his destruction.
त्यसको दुष्‍टताअनुसार त्यसलाई व्यवहार गरियोस् भनेर मैले त्यसलाई जातिहरूका बिचमा एउटा शक्तिशाली व्‍यक्‍तिको हातमा दिएको छु । मैले त्यसलाई बाहिर फालेको छु ।
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.
सारा जातिहरूका बिचमा आतङ्क ल्याउने विदेशीहरूले त्यसलाई काटेर ढाले र मर्नलाई छोडिदिए । पहाडहरू र सबै बेंसीतिर त्यसका हाँगाहरू खसे, र त्यसका ठुला-ठुला हाँगाहरू जमिनका खोल्साहरूमा भाँचिएर झरे । तब पृथ्वीका सारा जातिहरू त्यसको छायामुनिबाट बाहिर निस्के र तिनीहरू त्यसबाट टाढा गए ।
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:
आकाशका सबै चरा त्यो ढलेको रूखको मुढोमाथि बसे, र जमिनका सबै पशु त्यसका हाँगाहरू भएको ठाउँमा आए ।
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.
प्रशस्त पानीको छेउको त्यो अग्‍लो रूखभन्‍दा धेरै उचाइमा अरू कुनै रूखहरू नहून्, र त्यो उचाइसम्म पुग्‍नेगरी अरू कुनै रूख नबढून् भनेर यस्तो भयो । मृत्‍युमा जान, जमिनमा तल जान, मानिसका छोरा-छोरीध्ये खाडलमुनि जानेहरूसित जानलाई ती सबैलाई नियुक्त गरिएका छन् ।
15 Thus says 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)
परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: त्यो देवदारु चिहानमा गएको दिन, मैले पृथ्वीमा शोक ल्याएँ । मैले त्यसमाथि गहिरो पानीले ढाकें, र मैले समुद्रको पानी थुनें । मैले विशाल पानीलाई रोकें, र त्यसको कारण लेबनानमाथि मैले शोक ल्याएँ । यसैले त्यसको कारणले मैदानका सबै रूखले विलाप गरे । (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)
मैले त्यसलाई खाडलमा जानेहरूसँगै चिहानमा फ्याँकेपछि, त्यसको पतनको आवाजद्वारा मैले जातिहरूमा डर ल्याएँ । यसैले मैले पृथ्वीका तल्लो भागहरूमा अदनका सबै रूखलाई सान्त्वना दिएँ । यी लेबनानका चुनिएका र उत्कृष्‍ट रूखहरू थिए। ती प्रशस्त पानी पिएका रूखहरू थिए । (Sheol h7585)
17 For they went down to hell with him amongst the slain with the sword; and his seed, [even] they that lived under his shadow, perished in the midst of their life. (Sheol h7585)
किनकि तिनीहरू त्‍योसँगै तरवारद्वारा मारिएकाहरूकहाँ तल चिहानमा गए । यी त्यसका बलिया पाखुरा, अर्थात् त्यसका छायामुनि बसेका जातिहरू थिए । (Sheol h7585)
18 To whom are you compared? descend, and be you debased with the trees of paradise to the depth of the earth: you shall 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, says the Lord God.
अदनको कुन चाहिं रूख महिमा र महान्‌तामा तेरो बराबर थियो र? किनकि अदनका रूखहरूसँगै तँ खतना नभएकाहरूका बिचमा पृथ्वीका तल्ला भागहरूमा खसालिनेछस् । तरवारद्वारा मारिएकाहरूसँगै तँ रहनेछस् ।’ यो फारो र त्यसका सबै भीड हो, यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ ।”
