< Ezekiel 31 >

1 And it happened that, in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Ary tamin’ ny andro voalohany tamin’ ny volana fahatelo tamin’ ny taona fahiraika ambin’ ny folo dia tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
2 “Son of man, speak to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and to his people: To whom can you be compared in your greatness?
Ry zanak’ olona, ataovy amin’ i Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, sy amin’ ny vahoakany maro be hoe: Tahaka an’ iza moa ianao amin’ ny fahalehibiazanao?
3 Behold, Assur is like the cedar of Lebanon, with fair branches, and full of leaves, and of high stature, and his summit has been elevated above the thick branches.
Indro, Asyria dia sedera tsara rantsana any Libanona ary misandrahaka manalokaloka sady mijoroaka avo, ka mitehika amin’ ny rahona matevina ny tendrony.
4 The waters have nourished him. The abyss has exalted him. Its rivers have flowed around his roots, and it has sent forth its streams to all the trees of the regions.
Ny rano no nahalehibe azy, eny, ny rano lalina no nampijoroaka azy, ary ny ranovelona no nandeha manodidina ny tany nambolena azy ka nampandeha ny lakan-dranony hankamin’ ny hazo rehetra any an-tsaha.
5 Because of this, his height was exalted above all the trees of the regions, and his groves were multiplied, and his own branches were elevated, because of the many waters.
Koa dia nijoroaka ho avo noho ny hazo rehetra any an-tsaha izy, ary nihamaro ny sampany sady nihalava ny rantsany noho ny habetsahan’ ny rano tamin’ ny fisandrahany.
6 And when he had extended his shadow, all the birds of the air made their nests in his branches, and all the beasts of the forest conceived their young under his foliage, and an assembly of the many peoples lived under his shadow.
Teo amin’ ny sampany no nanaovan’ ny voro-manidina rehetra akany; Ary teo ambanin’ ny rantsany no niterahan’ ny bibi-dia rehetra; Sady teo amin’ ny alokalony no nitoeran’ ny firenena malaza rehetra.
7 And he was most beautiful in his greatness and in the expansion of his groves. For his root was near many waters.
Ka dia tsara tarehy tamin’ ny fahalehibiazany sy ny halavan’ ny sampany izy; Fa tany amin’ ny rano maro ny fakany.
8 The cedars in the Paradise of God were not higher than he was. The spruce trees were not equal to his summit, and the plane trees were not equal to his fullness. No tree in the Paradise of God was similar to him or to his beauty.
Tsy nahatakona azy ny sedera tao amin’ ny sahan’ Andriamanitra; Tsy mba nahatoraka ny sampany ny hazo kypreso, tsy mba nanana rantsana tahaka azy ny hazo platana; Ary tsy nisy tsara tarehy tahaka azy ny hazo rehetra tany amin’ ny sahan’ Andriamanitra.
9 For I made him beautiful, and dense with many branches. And all the trees of delight, which were in the Paradise of God, were jealous of him.
Nohatsaraiko tamin’ ny haben’ ny rantsany ny tarehiny; Ka dia nialona azy ny hazo rehetra tany Edena, dia ireo tany amin’ ny sahan’ Andriamanitra.
10 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since he was sublime in height, and he made his summit green and dense, and his heart was exalted because of his height,
Koa izany no nanaovan’ i Jehovah Tompo hoe: Satria nijoroaka avo izy ka nanandratra ny lohany teo amin’ ny rahona matevina, ary nirehareha ny fony noho ny hahavony,
11 I have delivered him into the hands of the most powerful one among the Gentiles, so that he will deal with him. I have cast him out, in accord with his impiety.
Dia hatolotro eo an-tànan’ ilay mahery amin’ ny firenena izy; Hamely azy tokoa io; Noho ny faharatsiany no nandroahako azy.
12 And foreigners, and the most cruel among the nations, will cut him down. And they will cast him on the mountains. And his branches will fall in every steep valley, and his grove will be broken apart on every cliff of the earth. And all the peoples of the earth will withdraw from his shadow, and abandon him.
Ary izay fahavalo masiaka indrindra amin’ ny firenena no nanapaka azy sady nanary azy; Teny an-tendrombohitra sy teny amin’ ny lohasaha rehetra no nihahafan’ ny sampany, ary notapatapahina teny amoron’ ny ony rehetra amin’ ny tany ny rantsany; Ary nidina niala tamin’ ny alokalony ny firenena rehetra ka nahafoy avy.
13 All the birds of the air lived upon his ruins, and all the beasts of the countryside were among his branches.
Mipetraka eo amin’ ny vatany nianjera ny voro-manidina rehetra, ary eny amin’ ny sampany ny bibi-dia rehetra,
14 For this reason, none of the trees among the waters will exalt themselves because of their height, nor will they place their summits above the thick branches and foliage, nor will any of those that are irrigated stand out because of their height. For they have all been delivered unto death, to the lowest part of the earth, into the midst of the sons of men, those who descend into the pit.
Mba tsy hisy hiavonavona intsony noho ny hahavony ny hazo rehetra eny amoron’ ny rano, na hanandratra ny lohany ho eo amin’ ny rahona matevina, sady tsy hisy hitoky amin’ ny hahavony intsony ny hazo mifo-drano rehetra; Fa voatolotra ho faty izy rehetra ho any ambanin’ ny tany, ho ao amin’ ny zanak’ olombelona, dia any amin’ izay midìna any an-davaka.
15 Thus says the Lord God: In the day when he descended into hell, I led in grieving. I covered him with the abyss. And I held back its rivers, and I restrained the many waters. Lebanon was saddened over him, and all the trees of the field were struck together. (Sheol h7585)
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Tamin’ ny andro nidinany ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita dia nampanao fisaonana Aho: Nanarona ny rano lalina noho ny aminy Aho sady nanampina ny ony avy aminy, ka dia najanona ny rano maro; Nampisaoniko Libanona noho ny aminy, ka nalazo noho izany ny hazo rehetra tany an-tsaha. (Sheol h7585)
16 I shook the Gentiles with the sound of his ruin, when I led him down to hell, with those who were descending into the pit. And all the trees of delights, the finest and best in Lebanon, all that were irrigated with waters, were consoled in the deepest parts of the earth. (Sheol h7585)
Tamin’ ny fiezinezin’ ny fianjerany dia nampihorohoroiko ny firenena, raha nampidiniko ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita izy, ho naman’ izay midìna any an-davaka; Ary ny hazo rehetra any Edena, dia ny nojobonina sady soa indrindra any Libanona, dia izay mifo-drano rehetra, samy nampionona ny tenany any ambanin’ ny tany, (Sheol h7585)
17 For they, too, will descend with him into hell, to those who have been slain by the sword. And the arm of each one will reside under his shadow, in the midst of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
Ireo koa dia niara-nidina taminy ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita, ho any amin’ izay voatrabaky ny sabatra, mbamin’ ireo izay efa sandriny teo, ka nipetraka teo ambanin’ ny alokalony teo amin’ ny firenena. (Sheol h7585)
18 To whom can you be compared, O famous and sublime one, among the trees of pleasure? Behold, you have been brought down, with the trees of pleasure, to the lowest part of the earth. You will sleep in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who have been slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh, and all his multitude, says the Lord God.”
Tahaka an’ iza amin’ ny hazo any Edena moa ianao amin’ izao voninahitra sy fahalehibiazana izao? Hampidinina ho any ambanin’ ny tany miaraka amin’ ny hazo any Edena ianao; Eo amin’ ny tsy voafora no hiamparanao, dia eo amin’ izay voa-trabaky ny sabatra. Farao sy ny vahoakany maro be rehetra izany, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
