Ezekiel 31
1 On the first day of the third month of the eleventh year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Aa tamy taom-paha-folo-raik’ambiy amy andro valoham-bolam-paha-teloy, le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
2 “Son of man, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt and all his many people: Who is as great as you?
O ana’ ondatio, saontsio t’i Paro mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime naho i volobohò’ey: Mañirinkiriñ’ama’ ia irehe amo fitoabora’oo?
3 Look at Assyria. It was like a cedar in Lebanon, with its beautiful branches providing shade in the forest. It was so high that its top reached the clouds.
Hehe ty mpanjaka’ i Asore ie ni-mendoraveñe e Libanone añe aman-tsampa’e fanjaka, amañ’aloke mangonkoñe, niningoningo nañambone; nitiotiotse amo tsampañe boda’eo o lengo’eo.
4 Deep springs of water made it grow tall and sent streams all around it to water all the other trees.
Namahañe aze o ranoo; nampandigiligy aze mañambone i lalekey; niariary am-pandia’eo o saka’eo, nahitri’e mb’amo hene hatae an-kivokeo o fikararaha’eo.
5 It became really tall, higher than any other tree in the forest. Its branches grew thick and long because it was so well-watered.
Aa le fonga niandikera’ ze hatae an-kivokey ty haabo’e, nihamaro o tsampa’eo, nihalava o tora’eo ty amo rano’e maroo, le nampitakare’e mb’eo.
6 All kinds of birds nested in its branches, while underneath it different wild animals had their young, and all the powerful nations lived in its shade.
Rinare’ o hene voron-dikerañeo amo tsampa’eo o traño’eo, naho añ’alo’ o tora’eo te niteraha’ o bibin-kivokeo o ana’eo, vaho nitsolok’ ambane talinjo’e eo ty valobohò’ o fifeheañe iabio.
7 It was beautiful and majestic with its long branches, because its roots reached down to the plentiful water.
Nihamim-batan-dre amy hara’elahi’ey, ami’ty fandrevaha’ o tsampa’eo, amy te nahatakatse rano maro o vaha’eo.
8 The cedars in God's garden were no match for it. No pine tree had such great branches, nor did any plane tree. No tree in God's garden was as beautiful.
Tsy nanaroñe aze o mendorave an-golobon’ Añahareo, tsy nanahake o tora’eo o akaoo, vaho tsy nañirinkiriñe o tora’eo ty nonoke; leo hatae raik’ an-golobon’Añahare ao tsy nihambañe amy ha’fanjàka’ey.
9 I made it beautiful with its many branches. All the trees of Eden in God's garden envied it.
Izaho ty nampitsomerentsereñ’ aze, ami’ty fandrevaha’ o ra’eo; vaho sindre nitsikirìk’ aze ze hatae Edene ao, an-golobon’ Añahare ao.
10 So this is what the Lord God says: Since it became so tall, reaching up into the clouds, it grew proud because of its height.
Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: amy t’ie nañonjom-batañe añ’abo ey naho nampiningonigoetse mb’an-drahoñe ey ty lengo’e, vaho nirengevoke ty arofo’e ami’ty fitoabora’e;
11 So I handed it over to the leader of a foreign nation who will punish it for its wickedness. I have thrown it out.
le fa natoloko am-pità’ i maozatse amo kilakila’ ndatioy; ie ty hiatreatre aze; amy t’ie fa finirako ambane ty amo haloloa’eo.
12 Foreigners from the cruelest of all the nations chopped it down and left it lying there. Its branches lie fallen and broken in the mountains and valleys of the countryside. Everybody in earth came out of its shadow and abandoned it.
O ambahinio, ty maozatse amo kilakila’ndatio, ty hañatsak’ aze naho hapo’e eo; hideboñe amo vohitseo o tora’eo, naho amo vavataneo, naho hipozake marine o saka’ i taneio o ra’eo; le hisitak’ amy talinjo’ey ze hene ondati’ ty tane toy, vaho haforintseñe.
13 Birds came to live on its fallen trunk, and wild animals hid among its fallen branches.
Hidoñe amy firotsaha’ey ze kila voron-dikerañe, vaho ho amo tsampa’eo ze hene bibin-kivoke,
14 This was in order that no other trees growing by the water would grow up so high and have their tops reach the clouds. This was so that no other trees, however much water they had, would be as tall as them, For they all will die and go down into earth, just like human beings who go down into the grave.
soa te tsy ho amo hatae añ’olon-dranoo ty hionjom-batañe ty amy haandikera’ey, ndra hampitiotiotse o tsampa’eo ambone’ o bodan-tora’eo, naho tsy hitroatse hijoalajoala añivo’ o ra’eo ze hene mpikama rano; fonga hatolotse am-pihomahañe iereo, pak’an-tsikeokeo’ ty tane toy añivo’ o ana’ondaty fa nigodañe an-kiborio.
15 This is what the Lord God says: On the day it was brought down to Sheol, I had the deep waters mourn for it; I stopped its rivers flowing; I held back all its waters. I covered Lebanon in darkness, and all the trees in the forest withered. (Sheol h7585)
Aa hoe t’Iehovà Talè; Amy andro nizotsoa’e mb’an-tsikeokeok’ aoy, le nampandalako; nakopoko ho aze i lalekey, naho sinebako o fisorotombaha’eo, le hene nijihetse o ranoo; le nihontoke ho aze t’i Libanone, vaho fonga nitoirañe o hatae an-kivokeo. (Sheol h7585)
16 I made the nations tremble when they heard it fall, when I threw it down into Sheol with those who die. Then all the trees of Eden, the finest and best in Lebanon, all the trees that had plenty of water, were happy that this tree joined them in the earth below. (Sheol h7585)
Nampihondrahondraeko o kilakila’ ndatio ami’ty feom-pideboña’e, ie navokovokoko an-tsikeokeok’ ao hitraofa’e amo mizotso mb’an-koboñeo; naho nohòñeñe o hene hatae Edeneo, naho o fanjàka amo hatae e Libanoneo; ze hene mpisì-drano, an-tsikeokeo’ ty tane toy ao. (Sheol h7585)
17 They also went down with it into Sheol, to those who had been killed by the sword. They had been part of its army living in its shade among the nations. (Sheol h7585)
Nitrao-pizotso ama’e mb’an-tsikeokeoke mb’eo o zinamam-pibarao; naho o nimpitàm-pialia’eo, o nimoneñe ambane’ i talinjo’ey añivo’ o kilakila’ ndatioo. (Sheol h7585)
18 Who is as great and glorious as you among the trees of Eden? But you too will be brought down to the earth below to be with the trees of Eden. You will lie there with the heathen, with those killed by the sword. This is what will happen to Pharaoh and all his many people, declares the Lord God.”
Ia arè ty añirinkiriña’o an-drenge naho ami’ty hajabahina’o añivo’ o hatae Edeneo? F’ihe ho firaeñe rekets’ o hatae Edeneo, homb’ an-tsikeokeo-ty tane toy ao; hàndre añivo’ o tsy sinavatseo, mindre amo zinamam-pibarao. Izay ty amy Parò naho ondati’e iabio, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
