< Ezekiel 31 >
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Nan premye jou twazyèm mwa onzyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
2 'Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: whom art thou like in thy greatness?
-Nonm o! Pale ak farawon an, wa peyi Lejip la, ansanm ak tout pèp li a. Di yo. -Jan ou gen pouvwa sa a, Kisa mwen ta di ou sanble la a!
3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon, with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of a high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs.
Bon. Ou tankou yon pye sèd nan peyi Liban avèk gwo bèl branch li yo plen fèy ki bay gwo lonbraj, yon pyebwa byen wo ak tèt li pèdi nan nwaj yo.
4 The waters nourished it, the deep made it to grow; her rivers ran round about her plantation, and she sent out her conduits unto all the trees of the field.
Lapli tonbe fè l' pouse Rivyè anba tè fè l' grandi. Gwo dlo pete nan tout rasin li yo. Yo fè kannal wouze tout pyebwa nan zòn lan.
5 Therefore its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long, because of the multitude of waters, when it shot them forth.
Paske li te jwenn anpil dlo, li te grandi, li vin pi wo pase tout lòt pyebwa yo. Branch li pran fòs, yo vin byen long.
6 All the fowls of heaven made their nests in its boughs, and all the beasts of the field did bring forth their young under its branches, and under its shadow dwelt all great nations.
Tout kalite zwezo te vin fè nich nan branch li yo. Se anba branch li yo bèt nan bwa vin miba. Se nan lonbraj li anpil nasyon vin chita.
7 Thus was it fair in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters.
Se te yon bèl pyebwa byen wo, ak branch li yo byen long. Rasin li yo te desann byen fon nan dlo anba tè a.
8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the cypress-trees were not like its boughs, and the plane-trees were not as its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like unto it in its beauty.
Nan jaden Bondye a, pa t' gen pye sèd tankou l'. Okenn pye pichpen pa t' gen branch tankou pa l' yo. Okenn pye sikren pa t' gen ti branch konsa. Nan jaden Bondye a, pa t' gen bèl pyebwa tankou l'.
9 I made it fair by the multitude of its branches; so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it.
Mwen te fè l' byen bèl ak anpil branch. Nan jaden Edenn lan, jaden Bondye a, tout pyebwa te anvye sò l'.
10 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thou art exalted in stature, and he hath set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
Koulye a, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: Paske li te grandi byen wo a, paske tèt li te pèdi nan nwaj yo, li kite lògèy vire tèt li.
11 I do even deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him; I do drive him out according to his wickedness.
Se poutèt sa, mwen voye l' jete, mwen lage l' nan men gwo chèf tout nasyon yo pou fè l' peye tout mechanste l' yo.
12 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, do cut him off, and cast him down; upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs lie broken in all the channels of the land; and all the peoples of the earth do go down from his shadow, and do leave him.
Yon bann moun lòt nasyon vini. Mechan pase yo pa genyen. Yo koupe pyebwa a, yo lage l' atè. Ti branch li yo gaye sou tout mòn yo ak nan fon yo. Gwo branch li yo kase, yo tonbe nan tout ravin nan peyi a. Moun lòt nasyon ki t'ap viv nan lonbraj li yo, tout met deyò, yo kite l' pou kont li.
13 Upon his carcass all the fowls of the heaven do dwell, and upon his branches are all the beasts of the field;
Zwezo vini poze sou rès pyebwa ki atè a. Bèt nan bwa ap mache sou tout branch li yo.
14 to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, neither set their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones stand up in their height, even all that drink water; for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
Konsa, depi jòdi a, yon pyebwa te mèt wouze byen wouze, li p'ap janm rive wotè sa a ankò. Li p'ap janm grandi pou tèt li rive pèdi nan nwaj yo ankò. Yon pyebwa te mèt byen wouze li p'ap rive wotè sa a ankò pou l'ap gonfle lestonmak li sou mwen. Tout pyebwa yo gen pou mouri tankou moun, yo gen pou yo desann al jwenn moun ki deja anba tè yo.
15 Thus saith the Lord GOD: In the day when he went down to the nether-world I caused the deep to mourn and cover itself for him, and I restrained the rivers thereof, and the great waters were stayed; and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. (Sheol )
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Jou pyebwa a desann nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, m'ap fè dlo anba tè a kouvri l' nèt, pou tout moun ka nan lapenn. M'ap fè dlo larivyè yo sispann koule. M' p'ap kite ankenn dlo koule nan kannal. M'ap voye yon gwo fènwa sou mòn peyi Liban yo. Tout rakbwa nan zòn lan pral deperi poutèt li. (Sheol )
16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to the nether-world with them that descend into the pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the nether parts of the earth. (Sheol )
Lè mwen voye l' jete nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, bri li fè lè l'ap tonbe a fè tout nasyon yo tranble. Tout pyebwa nan jaden Edenn, tout pi bèl pyebwa nan peyi Liban, pyebwa ki te byen wouze yo men ki te desann ale deja nan peyi kote mò yo ye a pral kontan tonbe li tonbe a. (Sheol )
17 They also went down into the nether-world with him unto them that are slain by the sword; yea, they that were in his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the nations. (Sheol )
Y'ap desann ansanm avè l' nan peyi kote mò yo ye a pou y' al jwenn sa ki te mouri nan lagè anvan yo. Lè sa a, tout moun ki t'ap viv nan lonbraj li yo pral gaye nan mitan tout lòt nasyon yo. (Sheol )
18 To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shall thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth; thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.'
Nan tout pyebwa jaden Edenn yo, kilès ki te bèl, kilès ki te wo tankou ou? Men koulye a, tankou tout lòt pyebwa jaden an, ou pral desann ale nan peyi ki anba tè a. Ou pral jwenn moun ki pa pote mak kontra Bondye a, moun ki mouri nan lagè yo. Se sa k'ap rive farawon an ansanm ak tout pèp li a. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki pale.
