Ezekiel 31
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, the third month, the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ũmwe, mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri wa gatatũ, kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 Son of man, speak to Pharao king of Egypt, and to his people: To whom art thou like in thy greatness?
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, arĩria Firaũni mũthamaki wa Misiri na kĩrĩndĩ gĩake, ũmeere atĩrĩ: “‘Nũũ ũngĩgerekanio nawe ũhoro-inĩ ũkoniĩ ũnene?
3 Behold, the Assyrian was like a cedar in Libanus, with fair branches, and full of leaves, of a high stature, and his top was elevated among the thick boughs.
Cũrania ũhoro wa bũrũri wa Ashuri, ũrĩa hĩndĩ ĩmwe warĩ mũtarakwa wa Lebanoni, warĩ na honge thaka, ciahumbĩrĩte mũtitũ ũcio; waraihĩte na igũrũ, gacũmbĩrĩ kaguo gakagĩa igũrũ rĩa mathangũ marĩa matumanu.
4 The waters nourished him, the deep set him up on high, the streams thereof ran round about his roots, and it sent forth its rivulets to all the trees of the country.
Wakũragio nĩ maaĩ, ithima iria ndiku nĩciatũmaga ũraihe; tũrũũĩ twa ithima icio twathereraga, tũgathiũrũrũkĩria gĩtina kĩaguo mĩena yothe, na tũgathereria maaĩ mĩtĩ-inĩ yothe ya gĩthaka.
5 Therefore was his height exalted above all the trees of the country: and his branches were multiplied, and his boughs were elevated because of many waters.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ũgĩkĩrĩrĩria kũraiha gũkĩra mĩtĩ yothe ya gĩthaka; mathĩgĩ maguo makĩongerereka, na honge ciaguo ikĩraiha, igĩtheerema nĩ ũndũ wa maaĩ kũingĩha.
6 And when he had spread forth his shadow, all the fowls of the air made their nests in his boughs, and all the beasts of the forest brought forth their young under his branches, and the assembly of many nations dwelt under his shadow.
Nyoni ciothe cia rĩera-inĩ igĩaka itara mathĩgĩ-inĩ maguo, nacio nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka ciaciaragĩra rungu rwa honge ciaguo; ndũrĩrĩ ciothe iria nene ciatũũraga kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩaguo.
7 And he was most beautiful for his greatness, and for the spreading of his branches: for his root was near great waters.
Ũthaka waguo warĩ mũkaru, na mathĩgĩ maguo magatheerema, nĩgũkorwo mĩri yaguo nĩyatoonyete thĩ tĩĩri-inĩ kũrĩa kwarĩ na maaĩ maingĩ.
8 The cedars in the paradise of God wars not higher than he, the fir trees did not equal his top, neither were the plane trees to be compared with him for branches: no tree in the paradise of God was like him in his beauty.
Mĩtarakwa ĩrĩa yarĩ mũgũnda wa Ngai ndĩngĩaigananire naguo, kana mĩthengera ĩiganane na mathĩgĩ maguo, o na kana mĩraraciĩ ĩgerekanio na honge ciaguo, gũtiarĩ mũtĩ thĩinĩ wa mũgũnda wa Ngai ũngĩaigananire naguo gũthakara.
9 For I made him beautiful and thick set with many branches: and all the trees of pleasure, that were in the paradise of God, envied him.
Nĩ niĩ ndaũthakarĩtie na honge nyingĩ, o nginya mĩtĩ yothe ya Edeni ĩrĩa yarĩ kũu mũgũnda wa Ngai ĩgĩtuĩka ya kũũiguĩra ũiru.
10 Therefore thus saith the Lord God Because he was exalted in height, and shot up his top green and thick, and his heart was lifted up in his height:
“‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Kuona atĩ nĩwaraihĩte na igũrũ, na ũkaraihia mũthia waguo igũrũ rĩa mathangũ marĩa matumanu, na tondũ nĩwetĩĩagĩra kũraiha kwaguo-rĩ,
11 I have delivered him into the hands of the mighty one of the nations, he shall deal with him: I have cast him out according to his wickedness.
nĩndaũneanire kũrĩ mwathi wa ndũrĩrĩ, nĩguo aũherithie kũringana na ũrĩa waganu waguo watariĩ. Nĩndaũteanirie,
12 And strangers, and the most cruel of the nations shall cut him down, and cast him away upon the mountains, and his boughs shall fall in every valley, and his branches shall be broken on every rock of the country: and all the people of the earth shall depart from his shadow, and leave him.
naruo rũrĩrĩ rũtarĩ tha o na hanini, rũgakĩria iria ingĩ gũthũka, rũkĩũtema, rũkĩũtiga wagũa. Mathĩgĩ maguo makĩgũa irĩma-igũrũ na mĩkuru-inĩ guothe; nacio honge ciaguo ikĩgũa ciunĩkangĩire kũu ituamba-inĩ ciothe cia bũrũri. Ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia thĩ ikĩehera kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩaguo, igĩtigana naguo.
13 All the fowls of the air dwelt upon his ruins, and all the beasts of the field were among his branches.
Nyoni ciothe cia rĩera-inĩ igĩtũũra mũtĩ-inĩ ũcio wagwĩte, nacio nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka igĩtũũra kũu honge-inĩ ciaguo.
14 For which cause none of the trees by the waters shall exalt themselves for their height: nor shoot up their tops among the thick branches and leaves, neither shall any of them that are watered stand up in their height: for they are all delivered unto death to the lowest parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down into the pit.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũtirĩ mĩtĩ ĩngĩ ĩrĩ kũu gũkuhĩ na maaĩ ĩgaacooka gwĩtĩĩa nĩ ũndũ wa kũraiha na igũrũ, ĩraihie mĩthia yayo igũrũ rĩa mathangũ marĩa matumanu. Gũtirĩ mĩtĩ ĩngĩ ĩnyuĩte maaĩ wega ũguo ĩkaaraiha ta guo; yothe yorotereirio gĩkuũ-inĩ, kũndũ kũriku thĩ, kũrĩa andũ arĩa makuuaga matũũrĩte, o arĩa maikũrũkaga irima.
15 Thus saith the Lord God: In the day when he went down to hell, I brought in mourning, I covered him with the deep: and I withheld its rivers, and restrained the many waters: Libanus grieved for him, and all the trees of the field trembled. (Sheol h7585)
“‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Mũthenya ũrĩa mũtĩ ũcio waikũrũkirio mbĩrĩra-inĩ, nĩndahingire ithima iria ciarĩ ndiku nĩ ũndũ wa kũũcakaĩra; nĩndarũgamirie tũrũũĩ twakuo, namo maaĩ maingĩ makuo makĩhingĩrĩrio. Nĩ ũndũ waguo ngĩhumba Lebanoni nduma, nayo mĩtĩ yothe ya gĩthaka ĩkĩhooha. (Sheol h7585)
16 I shook the nations with the sound of his fall, when I brought him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of pleasure, the choice and best in Libanus, all that were moistened with waters, were comforted in the lowest parts of the earth. (Sheol h7585)
Nĩndatũmire ndũrĩrĩ ciinainio nĩ mũrurumo waguo ũkĩgũa rĩrĩa ndaũikũrũkirie mbĩrĩra-inĩ hamwe na arĩa maikũrũkaga kũu irima. Hĩndĩ ĩyo mĩtĩ yothe ya Edeni, o ĩrĩa mĩega mũno gũkĩra ĩrĩa ĩngĩ ya Lebanoni, mĩtĩ yothe ĩrĩa yanyuithĩtio maaĩ wega, ĩkĩhoorerio ngoro ĩrĩ thĩ kũu kũriku. (Sheol h7585)
17 For they also shall go down with him to hell to them that are slain by the sword: and the arm of every one shall sit down under his shadow in the midst of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
Arĩa othe maatũũraga kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩaguo, arĩa maarĩ ngwatanĩro naguo gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ, o nao nĩmaikũrũkĩtio mbĩrĩra-inĩ hamwe naguo, mageturanĩra na arĩa maanooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora. (Sheol h7585)
18 To whom art thou like, O thou that art famous and lofty among the trees of pleasure? Behold, thou art brought down with the trees of pleasure to the lowest parts of the earth: thou shalt sleep in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword: this is Pharao, and all his multitude, saith the Lord God.
“‘Nĩ mũtĩ ũrĩkũ harĩ mĩtĩ ya Edeni ũngĩgerekanio nawe ũhoro-inĩ ũkoniĩ riiri na ũnene? No rĩrĩ, o nawe nĩũgaikũrũkio hamwe na mĩtĩ ya Edeni nginya kũu thĩ kũriku; ũgaakoma gatagatĩ ka andũ arĩa mataruaga, hamwe na arĩa mooragirwo na rũhiũ rwa njora. “‘Ũcio nĩwe Firaũni na kĩrĩndĩ gĩake gĩothe, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.’”
