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,
O ruo, nʼafọ nke iri na otu, nʼọnwa nke atọ, nʼụbọchị nke mbụ ya, okwu nke Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
2 Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
“Nwa nke mmadụ, gwa Fero eze Ijipt na ndị agha ya niile okwu sị ha, “‘Olee onye ahụ yiri gị nʼịdị ukwuu?
3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.
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 made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.
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 above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.
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 fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great 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 fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by 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 could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chesnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
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 have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied 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 saith the Lord God; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up 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 have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
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 strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left 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 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
Ụmụ nnụnụ niile bere nʼelu ukwu osisi ahụ dara ada, nʼetiti alaka ya niile ka ụmụ anụ ọhịa bịara biri.
14 To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, 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.
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 down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods 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)
“‘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 h7585)
16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth. (Sheol h7585)
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 h7585)
17 They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen. (Sheol h7585)
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 h7585)
18 To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt 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 be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith 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.’”
