< 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,
O ruo, nʼafọ nke iri na otu, nʼọnwa nke atọ, nʼụbọchị nke mbụ ya, okwu nke Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
2 Sonne of man, speake vnto Pharaoh King of Egypt, and to his multitude, Whom art thou like in thy greatnesse?
“Nwa nke mmadụ, gwa Fero eze Ijipt na ndị agha ya niile okwu sị ha, “‘Olee onye ahụ yiri gị nʼịdị ukwuu?
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.
Tulee nʼobi gị ihe gbasara Asịrịa, nke bụ oke obodo bụrụkwa mba a maara aha ya. Ọ dị ka osisi sida nke Lebanọn, nke jupụtara nʼalaka mara mma, nke ọtụtụ alaka ya na-enye ndo, nke dị ezi ogologo, nke alaka ọnụ ya topụrụ tokarịa osisi ọhịa niile.
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.
O nwetara mmiri mere ka o buo ibu, na isi iyi mmiri miri emi nke mere ka o too ogologo. Iyi ha niile na-asọ nʼokpuru ya. Ebe ahụ ka ha si ezipu ụzọ mmiri ndị na-enye osisi ndị ọzọ dị nʼọhịa mmiri.
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.
Nʼihi ya, o toro tokarịa osisi niile nʼogologo. Ngalaba ya bara ụba, alaka ya topụkwara ogologo nʼihi ịdị ukwuu nke mmiri ha na-enweta.
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.
Nʼalaka ya niile ka anụ ufe niile nke eluigwe na-akpa akwụ, nʼokpuru ndo nke alaka ya niile ka ụmụ anụ ọhịa niile mụrụ ụmụ, oke mba niile dị iche iche bikwara nʼokpuru ndo ya.
7 Thus was he faire in his greatnesse, and in the length of his branches: for his roote was neere great waters.
Ọ mara mma nʼịdị ukwuu ya, nʼogologo nke alaka ya nʼawasa, nʼihi na mgbọrọgwụ ya mibara emiba nʼebe mmiri dị ukwuu.
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.
Osisi sida niile dị nʼubi Chineke a gbara ogige erughị ya nʼọtụtụ. Ọ dịghị osisi junipa niile nwere ngalaba a ga-eji tụnyere nke ya, osisi plenụ niile adịghịkwa ka alaka ya, ọ dịghịkwa osisi dị nʼubi Chineke a gbara ogige, nke yiri ya nʼịma mma ya
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.
Emere m ya ka ọ maa mma site nʼịba ụba nke alaka o nwere, ọ bụ ihe ekworo nye osisi niile nọ nʼIden nʼubi Chineke a gbara ogige.
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,
“‘Nʼihi ya, ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Nʼihi na o toro ogologo tokarịa osisi ọhịa niile, nʼihi na ọ nyara isi banyere ọnọdụ ịdị ogologo ya karịa ndị ọzọ,
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.
Eweere m ya nyefee nʼaka onye ahụ na-achị mba niile, ka o mesie ya ike, dịka ịba ụba nke ajọ omume ya si dị. Ewezugakwara m ya nʼakụkụ.
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.
Mba ahụ kachasị mba niile njọ na-enweghị obi ebere gbuturu ya, hapụ ya ka ọ tọgbọrọ nʼala. Ngalaba ya dara nʼelu ugwu ukwu niile nakwa nʼime ndagwurugwu niile. Alaka ya kwa dajisịrị danyesịa nʼime ebe niile gbawara agbawa nke ala mmiri si eru. Mba niile nke ụwa sitere nʼokpuru ndo ya pụta wezuga onwe ha.
13 Vpon his ruine shall all the foules of the heauen remaine, and all the beastes of the fielde shall be vpon his branches,
Ụmụ nnụnụ niile bere nʼelu ukwu osisi ahụ dara ada, nʼetiti alaka ya niile ka ụmụ anụ ọhịa bịara biri.
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.
Ya mere, ka osisi niile nke dị nʼakụkụ mmiri gharakwa eto ogologo, maọbụ ka ọnụ ọnụ ya ghakwara ịdị elu karịa alaka ndị ahụ bara ụba. Nyekwa na ọ dịkwaghị osisi ọbụla na-enwetazu mmiri nke ga-etoru osisi ndị ahụ nʼogologo. Nʼihi na edebela ha nye ọnwụ, nye ịrịdaru nʼokpuru ụwa, nʼetiti ndị mmadụ ndị na-arịda nʼolulu omimi ahụ.
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 )
“‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Nʼụbọchị ahụ e mere ka ọ rịdaruo nʼala mmụọ, a kwụsịrị m ogbu mmiri niile were ha kpuchie ya. A kwụsịrị nsọgharị nke mmiri, meekwa ka ịba ụba nke mmiri ya niile kwụsị. Nʼihi ya, eyinyere m Lebanọn uwe mkpe, osisi niile nke ọhịa kpọnwụkwara nʼihi ya. (Sheol )
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 )
Emere m ka mba niile maa jijiji nʼegwu nʼihi ọdịda ya, mgbe m tụnyere ya na ndị ahụ na-aga nʼolulu nʼime ala mmụọ. Mgbe ahụ, a kasịrị osisi niile mara mma obi, bụ osisi ndị ahụ dị nʼogige Iden, na osisi ọma niile nke Lebanọn, ndị nke mgbọrọgwụ ha na-enweta mmiri nke ọma. (Sheol )
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 )
Ha onwe ha kwa, dịka sida ukwuu ahụ, sokwaara gbadaruo nʼala mmụọ, gakwuru ndị niile eji mma agha gbuo, ha na ndị ikom ji mma agha bụ ndị biri nʼokpuru ndo ya nʼetiti mba dị iche iche. (Sheol )
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.
“‘Olee osisi dị nʼIden a ga-eji tụnyere gị nʼịma mma, na nʼịdị ebube? Ma gị onwe gị kwa, na osisi ndị a niile dị nʼIden ka a ga-eme ka unu rịdaruo nʼokpuru ụwa. Ị ga-edina nʼetiti ndị a na-ebighị ugwu, gị na ndị eji mma agha gbuo. “‘Nke a bụ Fero na usuu ndị agha ya niile, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.’”
