< Ezekiyel 31 >
1 A shekara ta goma sha ɗaya, a wata na uku a rana ta farko, maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third [month], on the first of the month, [that] the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2 “Ɗan mutum, faɗa wa Fir’auna sarkin Masar da jama’arsa cewa, “‘Da wa za a kwatanta girmanka?
Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
3 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.
Behold, Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon, with fair branches and a shadowing shroud, and of a high stature: and his top was amidst the thick boughs.
4 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.
The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high; its streams ran round about his plantation, and it sent out its rivulets unto all the trees of the field.
5 Saboda haka ya yi tsayi fiye da sauran itatuwan kurmi; rassansa suka ƙaru suka yi tsayi, suka bazu saboda yalwar ruwaye.
Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long, because of great waters, when he shot forth.
6 Dukan tsuntsayen sararin sama suka yi sheƙa a rassansa, dukan namun jeji suka haihu a ƙarƙashin rassansa; dukan al’ummai suka zauna a inuwarsa.
All the fowl of the heavens made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all the great nations.
7 Yana da girma a kyau, da dogayen rassansa da ya baza, gama saiwoyinsa sun nutse can ƙasa har cikin yalwar ruwaye.
Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: because his root was by great waters.
8 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.
The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him; the cypresses were not like his boughs, and the plane-trees were not as his branches: no tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
9 Na sa ya yi kyau da yalwar rassa, abin ƙyashi na dukan itatuwan Eden a lambun Allah.
I had made him fair by the multitude of his branches; and all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.
10 “‘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,
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast lifted up thyself in stature, ...and he hath set his top amidst the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height,
11 na miƙa shi ga mai mulkin al’ummai, don yă sāka masa gwargwadon muguntarsa. Na jefar da shi a gefe,
I have given him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
12 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.
And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off and have left him; upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken in all the watercourses of the land; and all the peoples of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
13 Dukan tsuntsaye sararin sama suka zauna a itacen da ya fāɗi, dukan namun jeji kuma suna cikin rassansa.
Upon his fallen [trunk] do all the fowl of the heavens dwell, and all the beasts of the field are upon his branches:
14 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.
to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, nor set their top amidst the thick boughs, and that none of them that drink water stand up in his height by himself; for they are all given over unto death in the lower parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
15 “‘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 )
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when he went down to Sheol, I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed; and I made Lebanon black for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. (Sheol )
16 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 )
I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol, with them that go down into the pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the lower parts of the earth. (Sheol )
17 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 )
They also went down into Sheol with him unto them that were slain with the sword, and [that were] his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the nations. (Sheol )
18 “‘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.’”
To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? Yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden, unto the lower parts of the earth; thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord Jehovah.
