Ezekiel 31
1 And it was in one [plus] ten year in the third [month] on [day] one of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Pa tsiku loyamba la mwezi wachitatu, chaka cha khumi ndi chimodzi, Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
2 O son of humankind say to Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and to multitude his whom? are you like in greatness your.
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, unene kwa Farao mfumu ya Igupto ndi gulu lake lankhondo. Awawuze kuti, “‘Kodi mu ukulu wanu ndani angafanane ndi inu?
3 There! Assyria [was] a cedar in Lebanon beautiful of branch[es] and forest giving shade and tall of height and between branches it was treetop its.
Taonani, ndidzakufanizirani ndi mtengo wa mkungudza wa ku Lebanoni, wa nthambi zokongola zochititsa mthunzi mʼnkhalango. Unali wautali, msonga zake zooneka pamwamba pa nkhalango.
4 Waters they made grow it [the] deep it raised up it rivers its going around planting place its and channels its it sent out to all [the] trees of the field.
Madzi ndiwo ankawukulitsa mkungudzawo, akasupe ozama ankawutalikitsa. Mitsinje yake inkayenda mozungulira malo amene unaliwo ndipo ngalande zake zinkafika ku mitengo yonse ya mʼmunda.
5 There-fore it was tall height its more than all [the] trees of the field and they became great boughs its and they became long (branches its *Q(K)*) from waters many when sent out it.
Choncho unatalika kwambiri kupambana mitengo yonse ya mʼmunda. Nthambi zake zinachuluka ndi kutalika kwambiri, chifukwa inkalandira madzi ambiri.
6 In boughs its they made nests every bird of the heavens and under branches its they gave birth every animal of the field and in shade its they dwelt all nations great.
Mbalame zonse zamlengalenga zinkamanga zisa zake mʼnthambi za mtengowo. Nyama zakuthengo zonse zinkaswanirana mʼmunsi mwa nthambi zake. Mitundu yotchuka ya anthu inkakhala mu mthunzi wake.
7 And it was beautiful in greatness its in [the] length of branches its for it was root its to waters many.
Unali wokongola kwambiri, wa nthambi zake zotambalala, chifukwa mizu yake inazama pansi kumene kunali madzi ochuluka.
8 Cedars not they eclipsed it in [the] garden of God fir trees not they were like boughs its and plane trees not they were like branches its every tree in [the] garden of God not it was like it in beauty its.
Mʼmunda wa Mulungu munalibe mkungudza wofanana nawo, kapena mitengo ya payini ya nthambi zofanafana ndi nthambi zake. Munalibenso mtengo wa mkuyu nthambi zofanafana ndi zake. Mʼmunda wa Mulungu munalibe mtengo wina uliwonse wofanana ndi iwo kukongola kwake.
9 Beautiful I made it in [the] abundance of branches its and they envied it all [the] trees of Eden which [were] in [the] garden of God.
Ine ndinawupanga wokongola wa nthambi zochuluka. Mitengo yonse ya mu Edeni, mʼmunda wa Mulungu inawuchitira nsanje.
10 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because that you were tall in height and it set treetop its to between branches and it was lifted up heart its in height its.
“‘Nʼchifukwa chake Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Chifukwa kuti mtengowo unatalika kwambiri, unatulutsa songa zake mpaka ku thambo, ndipo unadzikweza chifukwa cha msinkhu wake,
11 And I will give it in [the] hand of a leader of nations certainly he will do to it according to wickedness its I drove out it.
ndinawupereka mʼdzanja la mfumu ya mitundu ya anthu kuti awulange molingana ndi kuyipa kwake.
12 And they cut down it strangers ruthless [ones] of nations and they abandoned it to the mountains and in all [the] valleys they fell branches its and they were broken branches its in all [the] ravines of the land and they went down from shade its all [the] peoples of the earth and they abandoned it.
Anthu ankhanza kwambiri amitundu ya anthu achilendo adzawudula ndi kuwusiya. Nthambi zake zidzagwera pa mapiri ndi mu zigwa zonse. Nthambi zake zidzathyokera mʼmitsinje ya mʼdzikomo. Motero mitundu yonse ya anthu a dziko lapansi amene ankasangalala mu mthunzi wake idzawusiya.
13 On fallen trunk its they dwelt every bird of the heavens and to branches its they came every animal of the field.
Mbalame zonse zamlengalenga zidzakhala pa mtengo wakugwawo, ndipo nyama zakuthengo zonse zidzakhala pa nthambi zake.
14 So that that not they may be lifted up in height their any trees of water and not they may set treetop their to between branches and not they may stand leaders their by height their any drinkers of water for all of them they have been given to death to [the] earth lowest in among [the] children of humankind to [those who] go down of [the] pit.
Zidzakutero kuti pasakhalenso mitengo inanso ya mʼmbali mwa madzi yotalika kwambiri, imene idzatalike kwambiri ndi songa zake kufika mpaka ku mitambo. Komanso kuti pasadzakhalenso mitengo yolandira bwino madzi, imene idzatalika motero. Paja yonseyo kutha kwake ndi kufa, kupita ku dziko lapansi kukhala ndi anthu akufa amene analowa mʼmanda kale.
15 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh on [the] day went down it Sheol towards I caused mourning I covered over it [the] deep and I withheld rivers its and they were restrained waters many and I made mourn on it Lebanon and all [the] trees of the field on it [were] wilted. (Sheol h7585)
“‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Pa nthawi imene mkungudzawo unatsikira ku manda, ndinawuza nyanja kuti iwulire maliro pakuwuphimba. Ndinawumitsa mitsinje ndipo madzi ambiri anaphwa. Ndinabweretsa mdima pa Lebanoni chifukwa cha mtengowo ndipo mitengo yonse ya mʼdzikomo inawuma. (Sheol h7585)
16 From [the] sound of downfall its I caused to tremble nations when brought down I it Sheol towards with [those who] go down of [the] pit and they were comforted in [the] earth lowest all [the] trees of Eden [the] choicest and [the] good of Lebanon all drinkers of water. (Sheol h7585)
Mitundu ya anthu inagwedezeka pakumva mkokomo wa kugwa kwake, pamene ndinawutsitsira ku manda pamodzi ndi iwo amene anafa. Pamenepo ku dziko la akufa mitengo yonse ya ku Edeni pamodzi ndi ya ku Lebanoni yosankhidwa bwino inasangalatsidwa chifukwa cha zimenezi. (Sheol h7585)
17 Also they with it they went down Sheol towards to [those] slain of a sword and arm its [which] they dwelt in shade its in among [the] nations. (Sheol h7585)
Amene ankakhala mu mthunzi wake, amene ankayanjana nawo, iwonso anapita nawo pamodzi ku manda, kukakhala pamodzi ndi amene anaphedwa ndi lupanga pakati pa mitundu ya anthu. (Sheol h7585)
18 Whom? are you like thus in splendor and in greatness among [the] trees of Eden and you will be brought down with [the] trees of Eden to [the] earth lowest in among uncircumcised [men] you will lie with [those] slain of a sword that [is] Pharaoh and all (multitude his *Q(K)*) [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
“‘Ndi mitengo iti ya mu Edeni imene ingafanane ndi kukongola kwako ndi ulemerero wako? Komabe iwenso, udzatsikira ku dziko la anthu akufa pamodzi ndi mitengo ya mu Edeni. Udzagona pamodzi ndi anthu osachita mdulidwe, anthu amene anaphedwa pa nkhondo. “‘Mtengowo ndi Farao ndi gulu lake lankhondo, akutero Ambuye Yehova.’”
