Ezekiel 31
1 Almost eleven years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the third month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
A shekara ta goma sha ɗaya, a wata na uku a rana ta farko, maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
2 “You human, say to the King of Egypt and all of his people, ‘[You think that] there is [RHQ, IRO] no country whose power is as great as the power of your country.
“Ɗan mutum, faɗa wa Fir’auna sarkin Masar da jama’arsa cewa, “‘Da wa za a kwatanta girmanka?
3 You think that your country is as great as Assyria was: Assyria was previously like [MET] a tall cedar tree in Lebanon; [it was as though] it had big beautiful branches that provided shade for [other trees in] the forest. It was very tall; its top was above the leaves of the other trees.
Ka dubi Assuriya, ta taɓa zama kamar al’ul a Lebanon da rassa masu kyau suna inuwartar da kurmi; ya yi tsayi ainun kansa ya kai cikin gizagizai.
4 Water came from deep springs, and as a result that cedar tree grew tall and very green. Then water flowed around the base of the tree into channels that took water to other nearby trees.
Ruwa ya sa ya yi girma, zurfafan maɓulɓulai sun sa ya yi tsayi; rafuffuka suna gudu kewaye da tushensa yana aika da rafuffukansa zuwa dukan itatuwan kurmi.
5 That huge tree grew very tall, higher than all the other trees around it. Its branches grew very thick and long [DOU] because of the abundant water [at the base of the tree].
Saboda haka ya yi tsayi fiye da sauran itatuwan kurmi; rassansa suka ƙaru suka yi tsayi, suka bazu saboda yalwar ruwaye.
6 Birds built their nests in the branches, and wild animals gave birth to their babies under those branches. [And it was as though people of] all the great nations lived in the shade of that tree.
Dukan tsuntsayen sararin sama suka yi sheƙa a rassansa, dukan namun jeji suka haihu a ƙarƙashin rassansa; dukan al’ummai suka zauna a inuwarsa.
7 It was majestic and beautiful; its branches spread out widely because the roots of the tree grew down into the ground where there was a plentiful supply of water.
Yana da girma a kyau, da dogayen rassansa da ya baza, gama saiwoyinsa sun nutse can ƙasa har cikin yalwar ruwaye.
8 The cedar trees in my garden [in Eden] were not as great as that tree, and the branches of the pine/cypress trees were not as long and thick as the branches of that cedar tree. And the branches of the plane trees were not as long and thick, either. No tree in my garden was as beautiful as that cedar tree.
Al’ul a cikin lambun Allah ba su kai shi ba, balle itatuwan kasharina su kai rassansa, ko itatuwan durumi su kai rassansa, ko itace a lambun Allah ya kai kyansa.
9 Because I caused that tree to become very beautiful with its magnificent green branches, [all the leaders of other countries represented by] [MET] those other trees in Eden envied [the country represented by] that tree.’
Na sa ya yi kyau da yalwar rassa, abin ƙyashi na dukan itatuwan Eden a lambun Allah.
10 Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘That tree, which [represents Assyria], grew very tall, and its top was higher than the other trees, and it became very proud because of being very tall.
“‘Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa domin ya yi tsayi, kansa kuma ya kai cikin gizagizai, kuma domin ya yi fariya saboda tsayinsa,
11 Therefore, I enabled another mighty nation to conquer it and to destroy it as it deserved to be destroyed. I have already discarded it.
na miƙa shi ga mai mulkin al’ummai, don yă sāka masa gwargwadon muguntarsa. Na jefar da shi a gefe,
12 A foreign army, one that has caused people of other nations to be terrified, cut it down and left it. Its branches fell on the mountains and in the valleys. Some of its branches lay broken in all the ravines in the land. All the people of other nations came out from being under its shade and left it.
kuma baƙi mafi mugunta na al’ummai suka sare shi suka bar shi. Rassansa sun fāɗi a kan duwatsun da suke cikin dukan kwaruruka; rassansa kuma sun kakkarye, sun fāɗi a cikin dukan magudanan ruwa na ƙasa. Dukan al’umman duniya suka fito daga ƙarƙashin inuwarsa suka bar shi.
13 Birds (settled/went to live) on the fallen tree, and wild animals lived among its branches.
Dukan tsuntsaye sararin sama suka zauna a itacen da ya fāɗi, dukan namun jeji kuma suna cikin rassansa.
14 The result of what I have done is that no other trees, even if they have plenty of water, will ever grow very high and become proud, and lift their tops above the branches of other trees. I do not want any other tree to grow high like that cedar tree did; trees will all certainly die and decay in the ground, like people die and go down to their graves.’
Saboda haka ba wani daga cikin itatuwan da suke kusa da ruwan da zai taɓa yin fariyar tsawonsa, har kawunansu su kai cikin gizagizai. Ba wani daga cikin itatuwan da ya sha ruwa sosai da zai taɓa yi wannan tsayi; duk an bashe su ga mutuwa, zuwa can ƙasa, a cikin matattu, tare da waɗanda suka gangara zuwa rami.
15 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘When that great tree was cut down, [it was as though] the springs that watered it mourned for it, because I caused the plentiful water [from the springs] to dry up. I caused [the mountains in] Lebanon to become black, and all the trees there to wither. (Sheol h7585)
“‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa a ranar da aka yi ƙasa da shi zuwa kabari na rufe zurfafa maɓulɓulai da makoki dominsa; na janye rafuffukansa, aka kuma hana yalwan ruwansa. Saboda shi na rufe Lebanon da baƙin ciki, dukan itatuwan kurmi suka bushe. (Sheol h7585)
16 I caused the people of other nations to tremble when they heard that tree fall to the ground. [They realized] that it would decay, like all people who die and are buried decay. And all the [leaders of other countries represented by] other beautiful trees in my garden in Eden and in Lebanon, were like beautiful trees [that were very proud]. They were ones which had roots that grew down deep into the [ground where there was plenty of] water. They were comforted when [the king represented by] [MET] that cedar tree was there with them in the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Na sa al’ummai suka yi rawar jiki da jin ƙarar fāɗuwarsa sa’ad da na yi ƙasa da shi zuwa kabari tare da waɗanda suka gangara rami. Sai dukan itatuwan Eden, zaɓaɓɓu da kuma mafi kyau na Lebanon, dukan itatuwan da aka yi musu banruwa, sun ta’azantu a ƙarƙashin ƙasa. (Sheol h7585)
17 The [leaders of other countries represented by] [MET] trees that grew in the shade of the huge tree, [the allies of] the great nation [that the cedar tree represents], had also joined those who had been killed by the sword and gone down to where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Waɗanda suka zauna a inuwarsa, dukan masu tarayyarsa a cikin al’ummai, su ma sun gangara zuwa kabari tare da shi, sun haɗu da waɗanda aka kashe da takobi. (Sheol h7585)
18 [This parable is about you] people of Egypt. [You think that] [RHQ, IRO] there is no other nation that is as great and glorious as yours is. But your nation will also be destroyed, [as Assyria was], along with those other nations. Your people will be there among the other people who are not fit to worship me, people who have been killed by their enemies’ swords. That is what will happen to the king of Egypt and all his people. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, [have predicted it].’”
“‘Da wa cikin itatuwan Eden za a kwatanta da kai cikin girma da daraja? Duk da haka kai ma, za a yi ƙasa da kai tare da itatuwan Eden zuwa ƙarƙashin ƙasa; za ka kwanta a cikin marasa kaciya, tare da waɗanda aka kashe da takobi. “‘Fir’auna ke nan da dukan jama’arsa, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.’”
