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.
Mfe dubaako mu, ɔsram a ɛto so abiɛsa no da a edi kan no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
2 O son of humankind say to Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and to multitude his whom? are you like in greatness your.
“Onipa ba, ka kyerɛ Misraimhene Farao ne ne dɔm se: “‘Hena ho na wɔde wo kɛseyɛ bɛtoto?
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.
Dwene Asiria ho, sida bi a bere bi na ɛwɔ Lebanon, Ɔde mman a ɛyɛ fɛ, na ɛhyɛ kwae so nyin kɔɔ soro yiye, ma ne nkɔn mu boro nhaban a ayɛ kusuu no so.
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.
Nsu no maa no aduan, mmura a mu dɔ ma enyin kɔɔ soro; wɔn nsuwansuwa sen faa nʼase nyinaa de kɔɔ mfuw no so nnua nyinaa ho.
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.
Enti ɛkɔɔ sorosoro sen mfuw no so nnua nyinaa; ne dubaa dɔɔso ne mman nyin yɛɛ atenten, na nsu dodow a enyaa no nti ɛdennanee.
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.
Wim nnomaa nyinaa yɛɛ wɔn berebuw wɔ ne dubaa no mu, wuram mmoa nyinaa wowoo mma wɔ ne mman no ase aman akɛse nyinaa tenaa ne nwini ase.
7 And it was beautiful in greatness its in [the] length of branches its for it was root its to waters many.
Na ne kɛseyɛ no yɛ fɛ, ne dubaa a adennan no nti, na ne ntin nyin kɔɔ fam koduu nsu bebree mu.
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.
Sida a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn turo mu nto no, na ɔpepaw nnua nso dubaa ne no nyɛ pɛ, na wontumi mfa ɔfo nnua nso ntoto ne mman ho, dua biara nni Onyankopɔn turo no mu a nʼahoɔfɛ te sɛ no.
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.
Mebɔɔ no ahoɔfɛ maa no mman bebree, na nnua a ɛwɔ Eden nyinaa Onyankopɔn turo no mu no ani beree no.
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.
“‘Ɛno nti, sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Esiane sɛ enyin kɔɔ soro, maa ne nkɔn mu hyɛɛ nhaban a abunkam so, na afei ɔyɛɛ ahantan wɔ ne tentenyɛ ho nti,
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.
mede no hyɛɛ amanaman sodifo nsa, sɛ ɔne no nni no sɛnea nʼamumɔyɛ te. Mepoo no,
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.
na ananafo aman no mu anuɔdenfo twaa no hwee fam, na ogyaw no hɔ. Ne dubaa no hwehwee mmepɔw ne aku mu; ne mman mu bubuu wɔ subon mu. Asase so aman nyinaa fii ne nwini ase, na wogyaw no hɔ.
13 On fallen trunk its they dwelt every bird of the heavens and to branches its they came every animal of the field.
Wim nnomaa nyinaa sisii dua a abu no so, na wuram mmoa kɔhyehyɛɛ ne mman mu.
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.
Ɛno nti, nnua a ɛwɔ nsu ho no mu biara renyɛ ahantan, nnyin nkɔ sorosoro, mmoro nhaban a abunkam so no so. Nnua afoforo biara a enya nsu bebree no rennyin nkɔ soro saa bio. Wɔahyɛ sɛ wɔn nyinaa bewu akɔ asase ase, wɔ nnipamma a wosian kɔ amoa mu no nkyɛn.
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)
“‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Da a wɔde no too ɔda mu no, mede awerɛhow kataa nsuwansuwa a mu dɔ no so maa no, na amma ne nsuten no ansen, na misiw ne nsu dodow no kwan. Ne nti mede kusuuyɛ furaa Lebanon, na nnua a ɛwɔ sare no so nyinaa botowee. (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)
Memaa aman no ho popoo wɔ nʼasehwe nnyigyei no ho, bere a mede no baa ɔda mu ne wɔn a wɔasian kɔ amoa mu no. Afei Eden nnua nyinaa, nea ɛte apɔw na ɛyɛ papa wɔ Lebanon, nnua a enya nsu yiye nyinaa nyaa awerɛkyekye wɔ asase ase. (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)
Wɔn a wɔtenaa ne nwini ase, ne ne dɔm a wɔwɔ amanaman no mu nso ne no kɔ ɔda mu, akɔka wɔn a wɔtotɔɔ wɔ afoa ano no ho. (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.
“‘Nnua a ɛwɔ Eden no mu de, ɛwɔ he na ebetumi de ne ho atoto wo ho wɔ anuonyam ne kɛseyɛ mu? Nanso wo nso wobesian wo akɔ fam, wo ne Eden nnua no. Wobɛfra momonotofo mu, wɔn a wɔatotɔ wɔ afoa ano no. “‘Eyi yɛ Farao ne ne dɔm no, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.’”
