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,
एघारौं वर्षको तेस्रो महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
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.
“ए मानिसको छोरा, मिश्रदेशको राजा फारो, र त्यसको वरिपरि भएका धेरै भीडलाई यसो भन्, ‘तेरो महान्तामा, तँ कोजस्तो छस्?
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.
हेर्! लेबनानमा अश्शूर, सुन्दर हाँगाहरू भएको लेबनानको एउटा देवदारु थियो, जसले वनलाई छाया दियो, र त्यो उचाइमा सबैभन्दा अग्लो थियो, र त्यसका हाँगाहरू टुप्पोसम्म पुगेका थिए ।
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.
धेरै पानीले त्यसलाई अग्लो बनायो । गहिरो पानीले त्यो विशाल भयो । त्यसको वरिपरिबाट नदीहरू बगे, र त्यसका धारहरू मैदानका सारा रूखहरूकहाँ फैलिए ।
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].
मैदानका अरू सबै रूखभन्दा त्यसको उचाइ धेरै थियो, र त्यसका हाँगाहरू धेरै भए । पानी प्रशस्त भएको कारणले त्यसका हाँगाहरू लामा-लामा भए ।
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.
आकाशका हरेक चराले त्यसका हाँगाहरूमा गुँड बनाए, र त्यसका शितल छहारीमा जमिनका सारा प्रानीले बच्चा जन्माए । धेरै जातिहरूका सबैले त्यसको छायामुनि बास गरे ।
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.
त्यसको महान्तामा त्यो सुन्दर थियो र त्यसका हाँगाहरू लामा-लामा थिए, किनकि त्यसका जराहरू प्रशस्त पानीमा थिए ।
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.
परमेश्वरका बगैंचाका देवदारुहरू पनि त्योबराबर थिएनन् । कुनै पनि सल्लाको रूखका हाँगाहरू त्यसकोझैं थिएनन्, र चिनारको रूख त्यसका हाँगाहरूसित दाँज्न सकिंदैनथ्यो । परमेश्वरको बगैंचामा त्यसको सुन्दरतासँग मेल गर्न सकिने कुनै अर्को रूख थिएन ।
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.’
मैले त्यसका धेरै हाँगासित त्यसलाई सुन्दर बनाएँ र परमेश्वरको बगैंचामा भएका अदनका सबै रूखले त्यसको डाह गर्थे ।
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.
यसैकारण परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यस्तो भन्नुहुन्छ: त्यो उचाइमा अग्लो भएको कारण, र त्यसको टुप्पो त्यसका हाँगाहरूका बिचमा भएको हुनाले, आफ्नो उचाइको कारण त्यो घमण्डले फुल्यो ।
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.
त्यसको दुष्टताअनुसार त्यसलाई व्यवहार गरियोस् भनेर मैले त्यसलाई जातिहरूका बिचमा एउटा शक्तिशाली व्यक्तिको हातमा दिएको छु । मैले त्यसलाई बाहिर फालेको छु ।
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.
सारा जातिहरूका बिचमा आतङ्क ल्याउने विदेशीहरूले त्यसलाई काटेर ढाले र मर्नलाई छोडिदिए । पहाडहरू र सबै बेंसीतिर त्यसका हाँगाहरू खसे, र त्यसका ठुला-ठुला हाँगाहरू जमिनका खोल्साहरूमा भाँचिएर झरे । तब पृथ्वीका सारा जातिहरू त्यसको छायामुनिबाट बाहिर निस्के र तिनीहरू त्यसबाट टाढा गए ।
13 Birds (settled/went to live) on the fallen tree, and wild animals lived among its branches.
आकाशका सबै चरा त्यो ढलेको रूखको मुढोमाथि बसे, र जमिनका सबै पशु त्यसका हाँगाहरू भएको ठाउँमा आए ।
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.’
प्रशस्त पानीको छेउको त्यो अग्लो रूखभन्दा धेरै उचाइमा अरू कुनै रूखहरू नहून्, र त्यो उचाइसम्म पुग्नेगरी अरू कुनै रूख नबढून् भनेर यस्तो भयो । मृत्युमा जान, जमिनमा तल जान, मानिसका छोरा-छोरीध्ये खाडलमुनि जानेहरूसित जानलाई ती सबैलाई नियुक्त गरिएका छन् ।
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)
परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यस्तो भन्नुहुन्छ: त्यो देवदारु चिहानमा गएको दिन, मैले पृथ्वीमा शोक ल्याएँ । मैले त्यसमाथि गहिरो पानीले ढाकें, र मैले समुद्रको पानी थुनें । मैले विशाल पानीलाई रोकें, र त्यसको कारण लेबनानमाथि मैले शोक ल्याएँ । यसैले त्यसको कारणले मैदानका सबै रूखले विलाप गरे । (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)
मैले त्यसलाई खाडलमा जानेहरूसँगै चिहानमा फ्याँकेपछि, त्यसको पतनको आवाजद्वारा मैले जातिहरूमा डर ल्याएँ । यसैले मैले पृथ्वीका तल्लो भागहरूमा अदनका सबै रूखलाई सान्त्वना दिएँ । यी लेबनानका चुनिएका र उत्कृष्ट रूखहरू थिए। ती प्रशस्त पानी पिएका रूखहरू थिए । (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)
किनकि तिनीहरू त्योसँगै तरवारद्वारा मारिएकाहरूकहाँ तल चिहानमा गए । यी त्यसका बलिया पाखुरा, अर्थात् त्यसका छायामुनि बसेका जातिहरू थिए । (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].’”
अदनको कुन चाहिं रूख महिमा र महान्तामा तेरो बराबर थियो र? किनकि अदनका रूखहरूसँगै तँ खतना नभएकाहरूका बिचमा पृथ्वीका तल्ला भागहरूमा खसालिनेछस् । तरवारद्वारा मारिएकाहरूसँगै तँ रहनेछस् ।’ यो फारो र त्यसका सबै भीड हो, यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ ।”
