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:
I te tekau ma tahi o nga tau, i te toru o nga marama, i te tuatahi o nga ra o te marama, ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea,
2 'Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: whom art thou like in thy greatness?
E te tama a te tangata, mea atu ki a Parao kingi o Ihipa, ratou ko ana mano tini; I a koe e nui na ko wai tou rite?
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.
Nana, he hita i Repanona te Ahiriana, he pai nga manga, pururu tonu, marumaru tonu, he roa rawa, purero rawa; i roto ano tona kouru i nga manga pururu.
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.
Nui tonu ia, na te wai hoki, roa tonu, he mea na te wai hohonu; i rere hoki ona awa i tetahi taha o ona mahuri, i tetahi taha; i tukua atu ano ona awa ririki ki nga rakau katoa o te parae.
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.
Na reira roa rawa ia, purero rawa ki runga ake i nga rakau katoa o te parae; kua maha ano ona peka, kua roroa ona manga, he maha hoki no nga wai, i a ia e kokiri ake ana.
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.
I hanga o ratou ohanga e nga manu katoa o te rangi ki ona peka, i whanau ano nga kirehe katoa o te parae ki raro i ona manga, i noho ano nga iwi nunui katoa ki raro i tona taumarumarunga iho.
7 Thus was it fair in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters.
Heoi ataahua tonu ia, i a ia i nui ra, i te roa hoki o ona manga: i te taha hoki o nga wai nui tona pakiaka.
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.
Kihai ia i ngaro i nga hita o ta te Atua kari; kihai nga kauri i rite ki ona peka, kihai ano nga rakau pereni i rite ki ona manga; kahore he rakau o te kari a te Atua hei rite mona; i a ia i ataahua tonu ra.
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.
I meinga ia e ahau kia ataahua tonu i te maha o ona manga: a hae ana nga rakau katoa o Erene, i te kari a te Atua, ki a ia.
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;
Na reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; kua tiketike na koe, kua roa, a kokiri atu ana tona kouru ki roto ki nga manga pururu, a neke ake ana tona ngakau i a ia i tiketike ra;
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.
Mo reira ka tukua ia e ahau ki te ringa o te mea kaha o nga tauiwi; ka nui ta tera mahi ki a ia; he kino nona i peia ai ia e ahau.
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.
Na kua hatepea atu ia e nga tautangata, e nga mea nanakia o nga iwi, a kua whakarerea iho; kua taka ona rara ki runga ki nga maunga, ki nga awaawa katoa; kua whatiwhatiia ona manga ki te taha o nga awa katoa o te whenua; kua heke mai ano nga iwi katoa o te whenua i tona taumarumarutanga iho, whakarerea ake e ratou.
13 Upon his carcass all the fowls of the heaven do dwell, and upon his branches are all the beasts of the field;
Kei runga i a ia, ina hinga, he kainga mo nga manu katoa o te rangi, a ka noho nga kirehe katoa o te parae ki ona manga;
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.
He mea kei neke ake, kei purero ki runga tetahi o nga rakau i te taha o nga wai, kei kokiri ake o ratou kouru ki roto ki nga manga pururu, kei tu hoki, kei teitei nga rakau katoa e inu wai ana: kua tukua katoatia hoki ki te mate, ki nga wahi o r aro rawa o te whenua, ki roto ki nga tama a te tangata, ki te hunga e heke ana ki te rua.
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 h7585)
Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; I te ra i heke ai ia ki te rua i meinga ia e ahau kia tangihia, he whakaaro ki a ia i hipokina ai e ahau te rire, i puritia ai ona awa, a ko nga wai nunui mau rawa: a meinga ana e ahau a Repanona kia tangi k i a ia, a ko nga rakau katoa o te parae ngohe kau ki a ia. (Sheol h7585)
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 h7585)
Meinga ana e ahau kia rurea nga iwi e te haruru o tona hinganga, i taku makanga i a ia ki raro i te reinga, ratou tahi ko te hunga e heke ana ki te rua: ko nga rakau katoa ano hoki o Erene, ko nga mea whiriwhiri, ko nga mea papai o Repanona, ko nga mea katoa e inu ana i te wai, ka whai whakamarietanga i nga wahi o raro rawa o te whenua. (Sheol h7585)
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 h7585)
I heke tahi ano ratou me ia ki te reinga, ki te hunga kua patua ki te hoari; ae ra, me te hunga ano i waiho nei hei ringa mona, i noho nei i raro i tona taumarumarunga iho i waenganui o nga tauiwi. (Sheol h7585)
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.'
Ko wai hei rite mou, te kororia, te nui, i roto i nga rakau o Erene? heoi ka tukua ngatahitia iho koutou ko nga rakau o Erene ki nga wahi o raro rawa o te whenua: ka takoto koe i roto i te hunga kokotikore, i roto i te hunga i patua ki te hoari. Ko Parao tenei, ratou ko ana mano tini katoa, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
