< Ezekiel 31 >
1 Now it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
EIA hoi kekahi, i ka makahiki umikumamakahi, i ka malama kolu, i ka la mua o ka malama; hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
2 Son of man, say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to his multitude: To whom art thou like in thy greatness?
E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e olelo aku oe ia Parao ko Aigupita alii, a me kona lehulehu, Owai la ka mea e like ai me oe i kou nui ana?
3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar upon Lebanon, with fair branches; An overshadowing thicket, high of stature; And his top was among thick boughs.
Aia hoi, o ka Asuria, he laau kedera no Lebanona ia, he nani kona mau lala, he ululaau malumalu, he kino kiekie; aia hoi kona welau iwaena o na lala paapu.
4 The waters made him great; the deep waters made him high; Their streams went around their plantation, And sent forth their channels to all the trees of the field.
Na na wai i hoonui ia ia, ua hookiekie ka hohonu ia ia me kona mau waikahe e kahe ana a puni kona wahi i kanuia'i, a ua hoopuka ae i kona mau kahawai liilii i na kumu laau a pau.
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 abundance of water when he shot forth.
Nolaila i hookiekieia'i kona kiekie, maluna o na laau a pau o ke kula, a ua hoonuiia kona mau lala, a loloa ae la kona mau lala no ka nui o kona mau wai, i kona kupu ana'e.
6 In his boughs all the birds of heaven made their nests, And under his branches all the beasts of the field brought forth their young; And under his shadow dwelt all the great nations.
Maloko o kona mau lala i hana aku ai na manu a pau o ka lewa i ko lakou mau punana, a maloko iho o kona mau lala i hanau ai na holoholona a pau o ke kula i ka lakou mau keiki, a malalo iho o kona mala i noho ai na lahuikanaka nui a pau.
7 Thus was he beautiful in his greatness, in the length of his branches; For his root was by many waters.
Nolaila i nani ai ia i kona nui, a me ka loloa ana o kona mau lala; no ka mea, aia kona kumu ma na wai nui.
8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him; The cypress-trees were not like his boughs, And the plane-trees were not like his branches. Not any tree in the garden of God Was like to him in his beauty.
Aole i hiki i ke kedera iloko o ka mala a ke Akua, ke hoonalo ia ia; aole like ka laau hukaa me kona mau lala, aole like ka laau pelatano me kona mau lala; aole laau iloko o ka mala a ke Akua i like me ia i kona nani.
9 I made him beautiful in the multitude of his branches, So that all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God, envied him.
Ua hana aku au ia ia i nani no ka nui loa o kona mau lala, i huahua hoi na laau a pau o Edena iloko o ka mala a ke Akua ia ia.
10 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because he lifted himself up in stature, And shot up his top among the thick boughs, And his heart was lifted up on account of his height,
No ia mea la, ke olelo mai nei Iehova ka Haku, No kou hookiekie ana ia oe iho i kiekie; a hoopuka aku oia i kona welau iwaena o na lala paapu, a ua hookiekie kona naau i kona kiekie;
11 Therefore I delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations, To deal hardly with him; I drave him out for his wickedness;
Nolaila i haawi aku au ia ia i ka lima o ka mea mana no na lahuikanaka, e hana no oia ia ia; ua kipaku aku au ia ia no kona hewa.
12 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, cut him off and cast him away. Upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches fell; And his boughs were broken in all the valleys of the land. And all the nations of the earth withdrew from his shadow and left him;
A o na malihini, na mea weliweli o na lahuikanaka, ua oki aku lakou ia ia, a waiho aku ia ia ma na mauna, a ua haule kona mau lala ma na awawa a pau, a ua hakihaki kona mau lala ma na muliwai o ka honua, a iho iho la na lahuikanaka a pau o ka honua mai kona malu iho, a ua haalele ia ia.
13 Upon his ruin dwelt all the birds of the heavens, And upon his branches were all the beasts of the forest.
A e noho na manu a pau o ka lewa maluna o kona puu opala, a me na holoholona o ke kula maluna o kona mau lala;
14 To the end that none of all the trees by the waters Might exalt themselves for their stature, Nor shoot up their top among the thick boughs, And that none of the trees that drink water should cleave to them on account of their height; For all of them are delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, In the midst of the sons of men, To them that have gone down to the pit.
I mea e hookiekie ole ai kekahi o na laau a pau ma na wai, no ko lakou kiekie, aole hoi e hoopuka i ko lakou welau mawaena o na lala paapu, aole hoi e ku iluna ko lakou mau laau i ko lakou kiekie, o na mea a pau e inu ana i ka wai; no ka mea, ua haawiia lakou a pau i ka make i ko lalo mau wahi o ka honua iwaena o na keiki a kanaka, me na mea e iho ana i ka lua.
15 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when he went down to the grave, I caused the deep to mourn, I covered it for him; I restrained on account of him the streams, and the great waters were kept back; And I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, And all the trees of the field fainted for him. (Sheol )
Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; i ka la i iho ai ia i ka luakupapau, hana hoi au e kanikau; ua uhi au i ka hohonu nona, a ua kaohi au i kona mau muliwai, a ua hoopaaia na wai nui; a hana aku au e kanikau o Lebauona nona, a maule ae la na laau a pau o ke kula nona. (Sheol )
16 At the sound of his fall I made the nations to shake, When I cast him down to the grave, To them that have gone down to the pit; And all the trees of Eden, The choice and best of Lebanon, Even all that drink water, Were comforted in the lower parts of the earth. (Sheol )
Ua hoohaalulu au i na lahuikanaka i ka halulu ana o kona haule ana, i kuu wa i hoolei iho ai au ia ia i ka po, me ka poe e iho ana i ka lua; a e oluolu pu na laau a pau i ko lalo wahi o ka honua, na laau a pau o Edena, o na mea i waeia a he maikai o Lebanona, a me na mea a pau e inuwai ana. (Sheol )
17 They also went down into the grave with him, To them that have been slain with the sword; They also that were his arm, That dwelt under his shadow among the nations. (Sheol )
E iho iho la lakou me ia i ka po, i ka poe i pepehiia me ka pahikaua, a o ka poe i lilo i lima nona, a noho iho la malalo iho o kona malu, iwaenakonu o na lahuikanaka. (Sheol )
18 To whom art thou thus like in glory and greatness among the trees of Eden? Thou shalt be brought down with the trees of Eden To the lower parts of the earth; Thou shalt lie down in the midst of the uncircumcised, With them that are slain by the sword. Thus shall it be with Pharaoh and all his multitude, Saith the Lord Jehovah.
Owai la kou mea e like ai i ka nani, a me ka nui iwaena o na laau o Edena? aka, e hooiho oe ilalo me na laau o Edena i ko lalo mau wahi o ka honua: a e moe oe iwaena o ka poe okipoepoe ole ia me ka poe i pepehiia me ka pahikaua. Oia hoi, o Parao a me kona lehulehu a pau, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
