< 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,
Mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ogumu, mu mwezi ogwokusatu ku lunaku olw’olubereberye, ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
2 Sonne of man, speake vnto Pharaoh King of Egypt, and to his multitude, Whom art thou like in thy greatnesse?
“Omwana w’omuntu, tegeeza Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri n’olufulube lw’abantu be nti, “‘Ani ayinza okwegeraageranya naawe mu kitiibwa?
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.
Tunuulira Obwasuli, ogwali omuvule mu Lebanooni, nga gulina amatabi amalungi agaasiikirizanga ekibira; ogwali omuwanvu ennyo, nga guyitamu ne mu kasolya ak’ekibira.
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.
Amazzi gaaguliisanga, n’enzizi ezikka wansi ennyo ne ziguwanvuya, n’emigga gyagyo ne gigwetooloola wonna, ne giweerezanga n’amatabi gaagyo eri emiti gyonna egy’omu ttale.
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.
Kyegwava gukula ne guwanvuwa okusinga emiti gyonna egy’omu kibira, n’amatabi gaagwo amanene ne geeyongera obunene, n’amatabi gaagwo amatono ne gawanvuwa ne gasaasaana olw’obungi bw’amazzi.
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.
Ebinyonyi byonna eby’omu bbanga ne bizimba ebisu byazo mu matabi gaagwo amanene, n’ensolo enkambwe ez’oku ttale ne zizaaliranga wansi w’amatabi gaagwo, n’amawanga gonna amakulu ne gabeeranga wansi w’ekisiikirize kyagwo.
7 Thus was he faire in his greatnesse, and in the length of his branches: for his roote was neere great waters.
Gwali gwa kitalo mu bulungi bwagwo, n’amatabi gaagwo amanene, kubanga emirandira gyagwo gyasima awali amazzi amangi.
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.
Emivule egyali mu nnimiro ya Katonda tegyayinza kuguvuganya, newaakubadde emiberoosi okwenkana n’amatabi gaagwo amanene; n’emyalamooni nga tegifaanana matabi gaagwo amatono, so nga tewali muti mu nnimiro ya Katonda ogugwenkana mu bulungi.
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.
Nagulungiya n’amatabi amangi, emiti gyonna egy’omu Adeni egyali mu nnimiro ya Katonda ne gigukwatirwa obuggya.
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,
“‘Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera bw’ati nti; Kubanga gwegulumiza, ne gwewanika waggulu okuyita mu kasolya ak’ekibira, ate ne guba n’amalala olw’obuwanvu bwagwo,
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.
kyendiva nguwaayo mu mukono gw’omufuzi ow’amawanga agukole ng’obutali butuukirivu bwagwo bwe buli, era ngugobye.
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.
Era bannaggwanga abasingirayo ddala obukambwe baagutema ne bagusuula. Amatabi gaagwo amanene gaagwa ku nsozi ne mu biwonvu byonna, n’amatabi gaagwo amatono ne gagwa nga gamenyese mu biwonvu byonna eby’ensi. N’amawanga gonna ag’oku nsi gaava wansi w’ekisiikirize kyagwo, ne gagulekawo.
13 Vpon his ruine shall all the foules of the heauen remaine, and all the beastes of the fielde shall be vpon his branches,
Ebinyonyi byonna eby’omu bbanga ne bituula ku matabi agaagwa, era n’ensolo enkambwe ez’oku ttale zonna ne zibeera mu matabi gaagwo.
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.
Kyewaliva walema okubaawo emiti okumpi n’amazzi egirikula ne giwanvuwa ne gyegulumiza n’okutuuka okuyita mu kasolya k’ekibira. Era tewalibaawo miti mirala egyafukirirwa obulungi egiriwanvuwa okutuuka awo, kubanga gyonna giweereddwayo eri okufa, okugenda emagombe, mu bantu abaabulijjo, n’abo abakka mu bunnya.
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 )
“‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ku lunaku lwe gwaleetebwa wansi emagombe, enzizi zaagukaabira, era naziyiza n’emigga gyagwo, n’amazzi gaagwo amangi okukulukuta. Ku lulwe nayambaza Lebanooni obuyinike, n’emiti gyonna egy’oku ttale ne gikala. (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 )
Naleetera amawanga okukankana olw’eddoboozi ery’okugwa kwagwo bwe naguserengesa emagombe n’abo abaserengeta wansi mu bunnya. Olwo emiti gyonna egya Adeni, egy’amaanyi era egisingayo obulungi egya Lebanooni emiti gyonna egyali gifukiriddwa obulungi amazzi, ne gizzibwamu amaanyi wansi mu nsi. (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 )
Abo bonna ababeera mu kisiikirize kyagwo, n’amawanga agassanga ekimu nabo, bakirira nabo emagombe ne beegatta ku abo abattibwa n’ekitala. (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.
“‘Muti ki mu gy’omu Adeni ogw’enkana naawe mu bukulu mu kitiibwa kyo? Era naye, olisuulibwa wamu n’emiti egy’omu Adeni n’oserengeta emagombe, n’ogalamira eyo wamu n’abatali bakomole, n’abo abattibwa n’ekitala. “‘Ono ye Falaawo n’ekibinja kye kyonna, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’”
