Ezekiel 31
1 And it comes to pass, in the eleventh year, in the third [month], on the first of the month, a word of YHWH has been to me, saying,
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ũmwe, mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri wa gatatũ, kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 “Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: To whom have you been like in your greatness?
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, arĩria Firaũni mũthamaki wa Misiri na kĩrĩndĩ gĩake, ũmeere atĩrĩ: “‘Nũũ ũngĩgerekanio nawe ũhoro-inĩ ũkoniĩ ũnene?
3 Behold, Asshur, a cedar in Lebanon, Beautiful in branch, and shading bough, and high in stature, And its foliage has been between thickets.
Cũrania ũhoro wa bũrũri wa Ashuri, ũrĩa hĩndĩ ĩmwe warĩ mũtarakwa wa Lebanoni, warĩ na honge thaka, ciahumbĩrĩte mũtitũ ũcio; waraihĩte na igũrũ, gacũmbĩrĩ kaguo gakagĩa igũrũ rĩa mathangũ marĩa matumanu.
4 Waters have made it great, The deep has exalted him with its flowings, Going around its planting, And it has sent forth its conduits to all trees of the field.
Wakũragio nĩ maaĩ, ithima iria ndiku nĩciatũmaga ũraihe; tũrũũĩ twa ithima icio twathereraga, tũgathiũrũrũkĩria gĩtina kĩaguo mĩena yothe, na tũgathereria maaĩ mĩtĩ-inĩ yothe ya gĩthaka.
5 Therefore his stature has been higher than all trees of the field, And his boughs are multiplied, and his branches are long, Because of many waters in his shooting forth.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ũgĩkĩrĩrĩria kũraiha gũkĩra mĩtĩ yothe ya gĩthaka; mathĩgĩ maguo makĩongerereka, na honge ciaguo ikĩraiha, igĩtheerema nĩ ũndũ wa maaĩ kũingĩha.
6 Every bird of the heavens has made a nest in his boughs, And every beast of the field has brought forth under his branches, And all great nations dwell in his shade.
Nyoni ciothe cia rĩera-inĩ igĩaka itara mathĩgĩ-inĩ maguo, nacio nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka ciaciaragĩra rungu rwa honge ciaguo; ndũrĩrĩ ciothe iria nene ciatũũraga kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩaguo.
7 And he is beautiful in his greatness, In the length of his thin shoots, For his root has been by great waters.
Ũthaka waguo warĩ mũkaru, na mathĩgĩ maguo magatheerema, nĩgũkorwo mĩri yaguo nĩyatoonyete thĩ tĩĩri-inĩ kũrĩa kwarĩ na maaĩ maingĩ.
8 Cedars have not hid him in the garden of God, Firs have not been like to his boughs, And plane-trees have not been as his branches, No tree in the garden of God has been like to him in his beauty,
Mĩtarakwa ĩrĩa yarĩ mũgũnda wa Ngai ndĩngĩaigananire naguo, kana mĩthengera ĩiganane na mathĩgĩ maguo, o na kana mĩraraciĩ ĩgerekanio na honge ciaguo, gũtiarĩ mũtĩ thĩinĩ wa mũgũnda wa Ngai ũngĩaigananire naguo gũthakara.
9 I have made him beautiful in the multitude of his thin shoots, And all trees of Eden that [are] in the garden of God envy him.
Nĩ niĩ ndaũthakarĩtie na honge nyingĩ, o nginya mĩtĩ yothe ya Edeni ĩrĩa yarĩ kũu mũgũnda wa Ngai ĩgĩtuĩka ya kũũiguĩra ũiru.
10 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because that you have been high in stature, And he yields his foliage between thickets, And his heart is high in his haughtiness,
“‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Kuona atĩ nĩwaraihĩte na igũrũ, na ũkaraihia mũthia waguo igũrũ rĩa mathangũ marĩa matumanu, na tondũ nĩwetĩĩagĩra kũraiha kwaguo-rĩ,
11 I give him into the hand of a god of nations, He deals severely with him, In his wickedness I have cast him out.
nĩndaũneanire kũrĩ mwathi wa ndũrĩrĩ, nĩguo aũherithie kũringana na ũrĩa waganu waguo watariĩ. Nĩndaũteanirie,
12 And strangers cut him off, The terrible of nations, and they leave him, His thin shoots have fallen on the mountains and in all valleys, And his boughs are broken at all streams of the land, And all peoples of the land go down from his shade, and they leave him.
naruo rũrĩrĩ rũtarĩ tha o na hanini, rũgakĩria iria ingĩ gũthũka, rũkĩũtema, rũkĩũtiga wagũa. Mathĩgĩ maguo makĩgũa irĩma-igũrũ na mĩkuru-inĩ guothe; nacio honge ciaguo ikĩgũa ciunĩkangĩire kũu ituamba-inĩ ciothe cia bũrũri. Ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia thĩ ikĩehera kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩaguo, igĩtigana naguo.
13 Every bird of the heavens dwells on his ruin, And all beasts of the field have been on his boughs,
Nyoni ciothe cia rĩera-inĩ igĩtũũra mũtĩ-inĩ ũcio wagwĩte, nacio nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka igĩtũũra kũu honge-inĩ ciaguo.
14 In order that none of the trees of the waters May become haughty because of their stature, Nor give their foliage between thickets, Nor any drinking waters stand up to them in their haughtiness, For all of them are given up to death, To the lower earth, In the midst of the sons of men, To those going down to the pit.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũtirĩ mĩtĩ ĩngĩ ĩrĩ kũu gũkuhĩ na maaĩ ĩgaacooka gwĩtĩĩa nĩ ũndũ wa kũraiha na igũrũ, ĩraihie mĩthia yayo igũrũ rĩa mathangũ marĩa matumanu. Gũtirĩ mĩtĩ ĩngĩ ĩnyuĩte maaĩ wega ũguo ĩkaaraiha ta guo; yothe yorotereirio gĩkuũ-inĩ, kũndũ kũriku thĩ, kũrĩa andũ arĩa makuuaga matũũrĩte, o arĩa maikũrũkaga irima.
15 Thus said Lord YHWH: I have caused mourning in the day of his going down to Sheol, I have covered the deep over him, and diminish its flowings, And many waters are restrained, And I make Lebanon black for him, And all trees of the field [have been] a covering for him. (Sheol h7585)
“‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Mũthenya ũrĩa mũtĩ ũcio waikũrũkirio mbĩrĩra-inĩ, nĩndahingire ithima iria ciarĩ ndiku nĩ ũndũ wa kũũcakaĩra; nĩndarũgamirie tũrũũĩ twakuo, namo maaĩ maingĩ makuo makĩhingĩrĩrio. Nĩ ũndũ waguo ngĩhumba Lebanoni nduma, nayo mĩtĩ yothe ya gĩthaka ĩkĩhooha. (Sheol h7585)
16 I have caused nations to shake at the sound of his fall, In My causing him to go down to Sheol, With those going down to the pit, And all trees of Eden are comforted in the lower earth, The choice and good of Lebanon—All drinking waters. (Sheol h7585)
Nĩndatũmire ndũrĩrĩ ciinainio nĩ mũrurumo waguo ũkĩgũa rĩrĩa ndaũikũrũkirie mbĩrĩra-inĩ hamwe na arĩa maikũrũkaga kũu irima. Hĩndĩ ĩyo mĩtĩ yothe ya Edeni, o ĩrĩa mĩega mũno gũkĩra ĩrĩa ĩngĩ ya Lebanoni, mĩtĩ yothe ĩrĩa yanyuithĩtio maaĩ wega, ĩkĩhoorerio ngoro ĩrĩ thĩ kũu kũriku. (Sheol h7585)
17 Those with him have also gone down to Sheol, To the pierced of the sword, And—his arm—they dwelt in his shade in the midst of nations. (Sheol h7585)
Arĩa othe maatũũraga kĩĩruru-inĩ kĩaguo, arĩa maarĩ ngwatanĩro naguo gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ, o nao nĩmaikũrũkĩtio mbĩrĩra-inĩ hamwe naguo, mageturanĩra na arĩa maanooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora. (Sheol h7585)
18 To whom have you been thus like, In glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? And you have been brought down with the trees of Eden, To the lower earth, You lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, With the pierced of the sword. This [is] Pharaoh, and all his multitude, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
“‘Nĩ mũtĩ ũrĩkũ harĩ mĩtĩ ya Edeni ũngĩgerekanio nawe ũhoro-inĩ ũkoniĩ riiri na ũnene? No rĩrĩ, o nawe nĩũgaikũrũkio hamwe na mĩtĩ ya Edeni nginya kũu thĩ kũriku; ũgaakoma gatagatĩ ka andũ arĩa mataruaga, hamwe na arĩa mooragirwo na rũhiũ rwa njora. “‘Ũcio nĩwe Firaũni na kĩrĩndĩ gĩake gĩothe, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.’”
