< Ezekiel 31 >
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first of the month, that the word of Yahweh 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 unto 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 Lo! Assyria, was a cedar in Lebanon, Beautiful in bough and Dense in foliage and Lofty in stature, — and Among the clouds, came to be his top:
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 made him great, the roaring deep, made him high—with its currents going round about the place where it was planted, Its channels also, it sent forth 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 For this cause higher, was his stature than any of the trees of the field, -And multiplied were his boughs And lengthened were his branches, By reason of the mighty waters when he shot forth shoots.
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 Among his branches, all the birds of the heavens, made their nests, And under his boughs, all the wild beasts of the field, brought forth, — And, in his shade, dwelt all the mighty 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 became he beautiful in his greatness, In the length of his waving branches, Because his root had gone towards mighty waters.
Ọláńlá ní ẹwà rẹ̀ jẹ́, pẹ̀lú títẹ́ rẹrẹ ẹ̀ka rẹ̀, nítorí gbòǹgbò rẹ̀ lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ sí ibi tí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ omi wà.
8 Cedars hid him not. in the garden of God, Fir-trees were not like unto his boughs, Nor plane-trees, like his branches, —no, tree in the garden of God, was like unto him in his 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 Beautiful, I made him in the abundance of his waving branches, - Therefore was he envied by all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God.
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 My Lord Yahweh, Because thou hast become lofty in stature, And he hath stretched his top among the clouds, And his heart is exalted in his loftiness.
“‘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 Let me then deliver him into the hand of the chief of the nations, He shall effectually deal with him! According to his lawlessness, have I driven him out:
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 Therefore have foreigners the terrible of the nations cut him down. And abandoned him, — Upon the mountains and in all valleys, have fallen his waving branches And broken have been his boughs in all the river-beds of the land, And all the peoples of the earth have come down out of his shade. And abandoned 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 trunk, shall settle down all the birds of the heavens, - And among his boughs, are to be found all the wild 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 the trees of the waters— May exalt themselves in their stature or stretch their top among the clouds, Nor their mighty ones take their stand in their height- any that drink of the waters, — Because they all, are delivered to death Unto the earth below. In the midst of the sons of Adam. Amongst them who descend into 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 My Lord Yahweh, In the day when he descended into hades, I caused a mourning. I covered over him the roaring deep, And restrained the currents thereof And stayed were the mighty waters, So caused I gloom over him unto Lebanon, And all the trees of the field for him were covered with a shroud. (Sheol )
“‘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 )
16 At the sound of his fall, I made nations tremble, When I caused him to descend into hades, with them who descend into the pit, — Then were grieved in the earth below-All the trees of Eden, The choicest and best of Lebanon All who had drunk the waters. (Sheol )
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 )
17 Even they, with him descended into hades. Among them who were thrust through with the sword, - Even his seed who dwelt in his shade in the midst of the nations. (Sheol )
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 )
18 Unto whom couldst thou be likened thus, in glory and in greatness, among the trees of Eden? Yet shalt thou be caused to descend with the trees of Eden into the earth below In the midst of the uncircumcised, shalt thou lie down With them who were thrust through by the sword, the same, is Pharaoh and all his multitude, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
“‘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.’”
