Ezekiela 31
1 EIA hoi kekahi, i ka makahiki umikumamakahi, i ka malama kolu, i ka la mua o ka malama; hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
And it cometh to pass, in the eleventh year, in the third [month], in the first of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying:
2 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e olelo aku oe ia Parao ko Aigupita alii, a me kona lehulehu, Owai la ka mea e like ai me oe i kou nui ana?
'Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and unto his multitude: To whom hast thou been like in thy greatness?
3 Aia hoi, o ka Asuria, he laau kedera no Lebanona ia, he nani kona mau lala, he ululaau malumalu, he kino kiekie; aia hoi kona welau iwaena o na lala paapu.
Lo, Asshur, a cedar in Lebanon, Fair in branch, and shading bough, and high in stature, And between thickets hath its foliage been.
4 Na na wai i hoonui ia ia, ua hookiekie ka hohonu ia ia me kona mau waikahe e kahe ana a puni kona wahi i kanuia'i, a ua hoopuka ae i kona mau kahawai liilii i na kumu laau a pau.
Waters have made it great, The deep hath exalted him with its flowings, Going round about its planting, And its conduits it hath sent forth unto all trees of the field.
5 Nolaila i hookiekieia'i kona kiekie, maluna o na laau a pau o ke kula, a ua hoonuiia kona mau lala, a loloa ae la kona mau lala no ka nui o kona mau wai, i kona kupu ana'e.
Therefore higher hath been his stature than all trees of the field, And multiplied are his boughs, and long are his branches, Because of many waters in his shooting forth,
6 Maloko o kona mau lala i hana aku ai na manu a pau o ka lewa i ko lakou mau punana, a maloko iho o kona mau lala i hanau ai na holoholona a pau o ke kula i ka lakou mau keiki, a malalo iho o kona mala i noho ai na lahuikanaka nui a pau.
In his boughs made a nest hath every fowl of the heavens, And under his branches brought forth hath every beast of the field, And in his shade dwell do all great nations.
7 Nolaila i nani ai ia i kona nui, a me ka loloa ana o kona mau lala; no ka mea, aia kona kumu ma na wai nui.
And he is fair in his greatness, In the length of his thin shoots, For his root hath been by great waters.
8 Aole i hiki i ke kedera iloko o ka mala a ke Akua, ke hoonalo ia ia; aole like ka laau hukaa me kona mau lala, aole like ka laau pelatano me kona mau lala; aole laau iloko o ka mala a ke Akua i like me ia i kona nani.
Cedars have not hid him in the garden of God, Firs have not been like unto his boughs, And chesnut-trees have not been as his branches, No tree in the garden of God hath been like unto him in his beauty,
9 Ua hana aku au ia ia i nani no ka nui loa o kona mau lala, i huahua hoi na laau a pau o Edena iloko o ka mala a ke Akua ia ia.
Fair I have made him in the multitude of his thin shoots, And envy him do all trees of Eden that [are] in the garden of God.
10 No ia mea la, ke olelo mai nei Iehova ka Haku, No kou hookiekie ana ia oe iho i kiekie; a hoopuka aku oia i kona welau iwaena o na lala paapu, a ua hookiekie kona naau i kona kiekie;
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because that thou hast been high in stature, And he yieldeth his foliage between thickets, And high is his heart in his haughtiness,
11 Nolaila i haawi aku au ia ia i ka lima o ka mea mana no na lahuikanaka, e hana no oia ia ia; ua kipaku aku au ia ia no kona hewa.
I give him into the hand of a god of nations, He dealeth sorely with him, In his wickedness I have cast him out.
12 A o na malihini, na mea weliweli o na lahuikanaka, ua oki aku lakou ia ia, a waiho aku ia ia ma na mauna, a ua haule kona mau lala ma na awawa a pau, a ua hakihaki kona mau lala ma na muliwai o ka honua, a iho iho la na lahuikanaka a pau o ka honua mai kona malu iho, a ua haalele ia ia.
And cut him off do strangers, The terrible of nations, and they leave him, On the mountains and in all valleys have his thin shoots fallen, And broken are his boughs at all streams of the land, And go down from his shade do all peoples of the land, and they leave him.
13 A e noho na manu a pau o ka lewa maluna o kona puu opala, a me na holoholona o ke kula maluna o kona mau lala;
On his ruin dwell do all fowls of the heavens, And on his boughs have been all the beasts of the field,
14 I mea e hookiekie ole ai kekahi o na laau a pau ma na wai, no ko lakou kiekie, aole hoi e hoopuka i ko lakou welau mawaena o na lala paapu, aole hoi e ku iluna ko lakou mau laau i ko lakou kiekie, o na mea a pau e inu ana i ka wai; no ka mea, ua haawiia lakou a pau i ka make i ko lalo mau wahi o ka honua iwaena o na keiki a kanaka, me na mea e iho ana i ka lua.
In order that none of the trees of the waters May become haughty because of their stature, Nor give their foliage between thickets, Nor any drinking waters stand up unto them in their haughtiness, For all of them are given up to death, Unto the earth — the lower part, In the midst of the sons of men, Unto those going down to the pit.
15 Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; i ka la i iho ai ia i ka luakupapau, hana hoi au e kanikau; ua uhi au i ka hohonu nona, a ua kaohi au i kona mau muliwai, a ua hoopaaia na wai nui; a hana aku au e kanikau o Lebauona nona, a maule ae la na laau a pau o ke kula nona. (Sheol h7585)
Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In the day of his going down to sheol I have caused mourning, I have covered for him the deep, and diminish its flowings, And restrained are many waters, And I make Lebanon black for him, And all trees of the field have been covered for him. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ua hoohaalulu au i na lahuikanaka i ka halulu ana o kona haule ana, i kuu wa i hoolei iho ai au ia ia i ka po, me ka poe e iho ana i ka lua; a e oluolu pu na laau a pau i ko lalo wahi o ka honua, na laau a pau o Edena, o na mea i waeia a he maikai o Lebanona, a me na mea a pau e inuwai ana. (Sheol h7585)
From the sound of his fall I have caused nations to shake, In My causing him to go down to sheol, With those going down to the pit, And comforted in the earth — the lower part, are all trees of Eden, The choice and the good of Lebanon, All drinking waters. (Sheol h7585)
17 E iho iho la lakou me ia i ka po, i ka poe i pepehiia me ka pahikaua, a o ka poe i lilo i lima nona, a noho iho la malalo iho o kona malu, iwaenakonu o na lahuikanaka. (Sheol h7585)
Also they with him have gone down to sheol, Unto the pierced of the sword, And — his arm — they dwelt in his shade in the midst of nations. (Sheol h7585)
18 Owai la kou mea e like ai i ka nani, a me ka nui iwaena o na laau o Edena? aka, e hooiho oe ilalo me na laau o Edena i ko lalo mau wahi o ka honua: a e moe oe iwaena o ka poe okipoepoe ole ia me ka poe i pepehiia me ka pahikaua. Oia hoi, o Parao a me kona lehulehu a pau, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
Unto whom hast thou been thus like, In honour and in greatness among the trees of Eden, And thou hast been brought down with the trees of Eden, Unto the earth — the lower part, In the midst of the uncircumcised thou liest, With the pierced of the sword? It [is] Pharaoh, and all his multitude, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'
