< 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:
Ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní, oṣù kẹta ọdún kọkànlá, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
2 'Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: whom art thou like in thy greatness?
“Ọmọ ènìyàn, sọ fún Farao ọba Ejibiti àti sí ìjọ rẹ̀: “‘Ta ní a le fiwé ọ ní ọláńlá?
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.
Kíyèsi Asiria, tí ó jẹ́ igi kedari ni Lebanoni ní ìgbà kan rí, pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹ̀ka dáradára tí ó ṣẹ́ ìji bo igbó náà; tí ó ga sókè, òkè rẹ̀ lókè ni ewé tí ó nípọn wà.
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.
Omi mú un dàgbàsókè: orísun omi tí ó jinlẹ̀ mú kí o dàgbàsókè; àwọn odo rẹ̀ ń sàn yí ìdí rẹ̀ ká, ó sì rán ìṣàn omi rẹ̀ sí gbogbo igi orí pápá.
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.
Nítorí náà ó ga sí òkè fíofío ju gbogbo igi orí pápá lọ; ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ pọ̀ sí i àwọn ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ sì gùn, wọn tẹ́ rẹrẹ nítorí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ omi.
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.
Ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run kọ ilé sí ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ gbogbo ẹranko igbó ń bímọ ní abẹ́ ẹ̀ka rẹ̀; gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá ń gbé abẹ́ ìji rẹ̀.
7 Thus was it fair in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters.
Ọláńlá ní ẹwà rẹ̀ jẹ́, pẹ̀lú títẹ́ rẹrẹ ẹ̀ka rẹ̀, nítorí gbòǹgbò rẹ̀ lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ sí ibi tí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ omi wà.
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.
Àwọn igi kedari nínú ọgbà Ọlọ́run kò lè è bò ó mọ́lẹ̀; tàbí kí àwọn igi junifa ṣe déédé pẹ̀lú ẹ̀ka rẹ̀, tàbí kí a fi igi títẹ́ rẹrẹ wé ẹ̀ka rẹ̀, kò sí igi nínú ọgbà Ọlọ́run tí ó dà bí rẹ̀ ní ẹwà rẹ̀.
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.
Mo mú kí ó ní ẹwà pẹ̀lú ẹ̀ka lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ tó fi jẹ́ ìlara àwọn igi gbogbo ní Edeni tí í ṣe ọgbà Ọlọ́run.
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;
“‘Nítorí náà, èyí yìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Nítorí pé ó ga lọ sókè fíofío, tí ó sì gbé òkè rẹ̀ ga ju ewé tí ó nípọn lọ, àti nítorí pé gíga rẹ mú kí ó gbéraga,
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 fi lé alákòóso àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè náà lọ́wọ́, fún un láti fi ṣe ẹ̀tọ́ fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwà búburú rẹ̀. Mo pa á tì sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ kan,
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.
àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè àjèjì aláìláàánú jùlọ ké e lulẹ̀, wọn sì fi kalẹ̀. Àwọn ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ ṣubú sórí òkè àti sí gbogbo àárín àwọn òkè; àwọn ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ tí ó ṣẹ nà sílẹ̀ ní gbogbo àlàfo jíjìn ilẹ̀. Gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè ilẹ̀ ayé jáde kúrò ní abẹ́ ìji rẹ̀ wọn sì fi sílẹ̀.
13 Upon his carcass all the fowls of the heaven do dwell, and upon his branches are all the beasts of the field;
Gbogbo àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run ṣe àtìpó ni orí igi tí ó ṣubú lulẹ̀ náà, gbogbo àwọn ẹranko igbó wà ní àárín ẹ̀ka rẹ̀.
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.
Nítorí náà kò sí igi mìíràn lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ omi tí ó lè fi ìgbéraga ga sókè fíofío, tí yóò sì gbé sókè rẹ̀ ga ju ewé tí ó nípọn lọ. Kò sí igi mìíràn tí ó ní omi tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ó lè ga tó bẹ́ẹ̀; gbogbo wọn ni a kádàrá ikú fún, fún ìsàlẹ̀ ilẹ̀, ní àárín àwọn alààyè ènìyàn, pẹ̀lú àwọn tí o lọ sí ọ̀gbun ní ìsàlẹ̀.
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)
“‘Èyí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Ní ọjọ́ ti a mú u wá sí isà òkú mo fi ọ̀fọ̀ ṣíṣe bo orísun omi jíjìn náà, mo dá àwọn ìṣàn omi rẹ̀ dúró, àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ omi rẹ̀ ní a dí lọ́nà. Nítorí rẹ̀ mo fi ìwúwo ọkàn wọ Lebanoni ní aṣọ, gbogbo igi igbó gbẹ dànù. (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)
Mo mú kí orílẹ̀-èdè wárìrì sì ìró ìṣubú rẹ̀ nígbà tí mo mú un wá sí ìsàlẹ̀ isà òkú pẹ̀lú àwọn tí ó lọ sí ọ̀gbun ìsàlẹ̀. Nígbà náà gbogbo igi Edeni, àṣàyàn àti èyí tí ó dára jùlọ nínú Lebanoni, gbogbo igi tí ó ní omi dáradára ni a tù nínú ni ayé ìsàlẹ̀. (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)
Àwọn tí ó ń gbé ní abẹ́ òjìji rẹ̀, àwọn àjèjì rẹ ní àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè náà, ti lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ isà òkú pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, ní dídárapọ̀ mọ́ àwọn tí a fi idà pa. (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.'
“‘Èwo lára igi Edeni ní a lè fiwé ọ ní dídán àti ọláńlá? Síbẹ̀ ìwọ, gan an wá sílẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn igi Edeni lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ ilẹ̀; ìwọ yóò sùn ni àárín àwọn aláìkọlà, pẹ̀lú àwọn tí a fi idà pa. “‘Èyí yìí ní Farao àti ìjọ rẹ̀, ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.’”
