Ezekiel 31
1 And in the eleuenth yeere, in the third moneth, and in the first day of the moneth the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Pa tsiku loyamba la mwezi wachitatu, chaka cha khumi ndi chimodzi, Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
2 Sonne of man, speake vnto Pharaoh King of Egypt, and to his multitude, Whom art thou like in thy greatnesse?
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, unene kwa Farao mfumu ya Igupto ndi gulu lake lankhondo. Awawuze kuti, “‘Kodi mu ukulu wanu ndani angafanane ndi inu?
3 Beholde, Asshur was like a cedar in Lebanon with faire branches, and with thicke shadowing boughes, and shot vp very hye, and his toppe was among the thicke boughes.
Taonani, ndidzakufanizirani ndi mtengo wa mkungudza wa ku Lebanoni, wa nthambi zokongola zochititsa mthunzi mʼnkhalango. Unali wautali, msonga zake zooneka pamwamba pa nkhalango.
4 The waters nourished him, and the deepe exalted him on hie with her riuers running round about his plants, and sent out her litle riuers vnto all the trees of the fielde.
Madzi ndiwo ankawukulitsa mkungudzawo, akasupe ozama ankawutalikitsa. Mitsinje yake inkayenda mozungulira malo amene unaliwo ndipo ngalande zake zinkafika ku mitengo yonse ya mʼmunda.
5 Therefore his height was exalted aboue all the trees of the fielde, and his boughes were multiplied, and his branches were long, because of the multitude of the waters, which the deepe sent out.
Choncho unatalika kwambiri kupambana mitengo yonse ya mʼmunda. Nthambi zake zinachuluka ndi kutalika kwambiri, chifukwa inkalandira madzi ambiri.
6 All the foules of the heauen made their nestes in his boughes, and vnder his branches did all the beastes of the fielde bring foorth their yong, and vnder his shadowe dwelt all mightie nations.
Mbalame zonse zamlengalenga zinkamanga zisa zake mʼnthambi za mtengowo. Nyama zakuthengo zonse zinkaswanirana mʼmunsi mwa nthambi zake. Mitundu yotchuka ya anthu inkakhala mu mthunzi wake.
7 Thus was he faire in his greatnesse, and in the length of his branches: for his roote was neere great waters.
Unali wokongola kwambiri, wa nthambi zake zotambalala, chifukwa mizu yake inazama pansi kumene kunali madzi ochuluka.
8 The cedars in the garden of God coulde not hide him: no firre tree was like his branches, and the chessenut trees were not like his boughes: all the trees in the garden of God were not like vnto him in his beautie.
Mʼmunda wa Mulungu munalibe mkungudza wofanana nawo, kapena mitengo ya payini ya nthambi zofanafana ndi nthambi zake. Munalibenso mtengo wa mkuyu nthambi zofanafana ndi zake. Mʼmunda wa Mulungu munalibe mtengo wina uliwonse wofanana ndi iwo kukongola kwake.
9 I made him faire by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, enuied him.
Ine ndinawupanga wokongola wa nthambi zochuluka. Mitengo yonse ya mu Edeni, mʼmunda wa Mulungu inawuchitira nsanje.
10 Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Because he is lift vp on high, and hath shot vp his toppe among the thicke boughes, and his heart is lift vp in his height,
“‘Nʼchifukwa chake Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Chifukwa kuti mtengowo unatalika kwambiri, unatulutsa songa zake mpaka ku thambo, ndipo unadzikweza chifukwa cha msinkhu wake,
11 I haue therefore deliuered him into the handes of the mightiest among the heathen: he shall handle him, for I haue cast him away for his wickednesse.
ndinawupereka mʼdzanja la mfumu ya mitundu ya anthu kuti awulange molingana ndi kuyipa kwake.
12 And the strangers haue destroyed him, euen the terrible nations, and they haue left him vpon the mountaines, and in all the valleis his branches are fallen, and his boughes are broken by all the riuers of the land: and all the people of the earth are departed from his shadowe, and haue forsaken him.
Anthu ankhanza kwambiri amitundu ya anthu achilendo adzawudula ndi kuwusiya. Nthambi zake zidzagwera pa mapiri ndi mu zigwa zonse. Nthambi zake zidzathyokera mʼmitsinje ya mʼdzikomo. Motero mitundu yonse ya anthu a dziko lapansi amene ankasangalala mu mthunzi wake idzawusiya.
13 Vpon his ruine shall all the foules of the heauen remaine, and all the beastes of the fielde shall be vpon his branches,
Mbalame zonse zamlengalenga zidzakhala pa mtengo wakugwawo, ndipo nyama zakuthengo zonse zidzakhala pa nthambi zake.
14 So that none of all the trees by the waters shalbe exalted by their height, neither shall shoote vp their toppe among the thicke boughes, neither shall their leaues stand vp in their height, which drinke so much water: for they are all deliuered vnto death in the nether partes of the earth in the middes of the children of men among them that goe downe to the pit.
Zidzakutero kuti pasakhalenso mitengo inanso ya mʼmbali mwa madzi yotalika kwambiri, imene idzatalike kwambiri ndi songa zake kufika mpaka ku mitambo. Komanso kuti pasadzakhalenso mitengo yolandira bwino madzi, imene idzatalika motero. Paja yonseyo kutha kwake ndi kufa, kupita ku dziko lapansi kukhala ndi anthu akufa amene analowa mʼmanda kale.
15 Thus saith the Lord God, In the day when he went downe to hell, I caused them to mourne, and I couered the deepe for him, and I did restreine the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: I caused Lebanon to mourne for him, and all the trees of the fielde fainted. (Sheol h7585)
“‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Pa nthawi imene mkungudzawo unatsikira ku manda, ndinawuza nyanja kuti iwulire maliro pakuwuphimba. Ndinawumitsa mitsinje ndipo madzi ambiri anaphwa. Ndinabweretsa mdima pa Lebanoni chifukwa cha mtengowo ndipo mitengo yonse ya mʼdzikomo inawuma. (Sheol h7585)
16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him downe to hell with them that descend into the pit, and all the excellent trees of Eden, and the best of Lebanon: euen all that are nourished with waters, shall be comforted in the nether partes of the earth. (Sheol h7585)
Mitundu ya anthu inagwedezeka pakumva mkokomo wa kugwa kwake, pamene ndinawutsitsira ku manda pamodzi ndi iwo amene anafa. Pamenepo ku dziko la akufa mitengo yonse ya ku Edeni pamodzi ndi ya ku Lebanoni yosankhidwa bwino inasangalatsidwa chifukwa cha zimenezi. (Sheol h7585)
17 They also went downe to hell with him vnto them that be slaine with the sworde, and his arme, and they that dwelt vnder his shadowe in the middes of the heathen. (Sheol h7585)
Amene ankakhala mu mthunzi wake, amene ankayanjana nawo, iwonso anapita nawo pamodzi ku manda, kukakhala pamodzi ndi amene anaphedwa ndi lupanga pakati pa mitundu ya anthu. (Sheol h7585)
18 To whom art thou thus like in glorie and in greatnesse among the trees of Eden? yet thou shalt be cast downe with the trees of Eden vnto the nether partes of the earth: thou shalt sleepe in the middes of the vncircumcised, with them that be slaine by the sworde: this is Pharaoh and all his multitude, sayth the Lord God.
“‘Ndi mitengo iti ya mu Edeni imene ingafanane ndi kukongola kwako ndi ulemerero wako? Komabe iwenso, udzatsikira ku dziko la anthu akufa pamodzi ndi mitengo ya mu Edeni. Udzagona pamodzi ndi anthu osachita mdulidwe, anthu amene anaphedwa pa nkhondo. “‘Mtengowo ndi Farao ndi gulu lake lankhondo, akutero Ambuye Yehova.’”
