Ezekiel 31
1 Ket napasamak nga iti maikasangapulo ket maysa a tawen, iti umuna nga aldaw iti maikatlo a bulan, immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Anak ti tao, ibagam kenni Faraon nga ari ti Egipto, ken kadagiti adipenna iti aglikmutna, ‘Iti kinabilegmo, siasino ti kaiyaspingam?
Son of man, say to Pharao king of Egypt, and to his multitude; To whom have you compared yourself in your haughtiness?
3 Kitaenyo! Ti Asiria ket kasla maysa a sedro iti Lebanon nga addaan kadagiti narangpaya a sanga, maysa a narukbos iti kakaykayoan, ken kasta unay ti katayagna! Ket ti tuktokna ket adda iti ngatoen dagiti sangana.
Behold, the Assyrian was a cypress in Libanus, and was fair in shoots, and high in stature: his top reached to the midst of the clouds.
4 Adu a danum ti nangpatayag iti daytoy; ti danum iti ubbog ti nangpadakkel iti daytoy. Nagayus dagiti karayan iti paset ti aglawlaw daytoy, ta ti panagayus dagitoy ket dimmanon kadagiti amin a kaykayo iti tay-ak.
The water nourished him, the depth made him grow tall; she led her rivers round about his plants, and she sent forth her streams to all the trees of the field.
5 Ti kinangato daytoy ket nangatngato pay ngem iti aniaman kadagiti kayo iti tay-ak, ken dagiti sanga daytoy ket nagadu unay; rimmangpaya pay dagiti sangana gapu iti nabuslon a danum bayat a dumakdakkel dagitoy.
Therefore was his stature exalted above all the trees of the field, and his branches spread far by the help of much water.
6 Tunggal billit iti tangatang ket nagumok kadagiti sanga daytoy, bayat a tunggal parsua nga agnanaed iti tay-ak ket naganak iti siruk dagiti narukbos a sanga daytoy. Amin dagiti adu a nasion ket nagnaed iti siruk daytoy.
All the birds of the sky made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches all the wild beasts of the field bred; the whole multitude of nations lived under his shadow.
7 Ta napintas unay daytoy gapu iti kinangayed ken iti kinarangpaya dagiti sanga daytoy, ta dagiti ramut ket adda iti ayan ti nabuslon a danum!
And he was fair in his height by reason of the multitude of his branches: for his roots were amidst much water.
8 Dagiti sedro iti minuyongan ti Dios ket saan a maiyasping iti daytoy! Awan kadagiti kayo nga igos ti maipada kadagiti sanga daytoy, ken awan kadawyan a kayo a makaasping kadagiti santakna. Awan kayo iti minuyongan ti Dios ti maipada iti kinapintas daytoy!
And such cypresses [as this] were in the paradise of God; and there were no pines like his shoots, and there were no firs like his branches: no tree in the paradise of God was like him in his beauty,
9 Pinapintasko daytoy babaen kadagiti adu a sanga daytoy; ket amin dagiti kayo iti Eden nga adda iti minuyongan ti Dios ket inapalanda daytoy!
because of the multitude of his branches: and the trees of God's paradise of delight envied him.
10 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Gapu ta natayag unay daytoy, ken gapu ta inngatona ti tuktok ti kayona iti ngatoen dagiti sanga ken ti pusona ket naingato iti kasta unay a kangato—
Therefore thus says the Lord; Because you are grown great, and have set your top in the midst of the clouds, and I saw when he was exalted;
11 Isu nga inyawatko isuna iti ima ti kabibilegan a mangiturturay kadagiti nasion! Nagtignay daytoy a mangiturturay iti maibusor kenkuana ket pinapanawna isuna gapu iti kinadangkesna!
therefore I delivered him into the hands of the prince of the nations, and he wrought his destruction.
12 Dagiti naranggas a ganggannaet iti amin a nasion ket pinukanda ken binaybay-anda daytoy. Natinnag dagiti sangana kadagiti bantay ken kadagiti tanap, ken dagiti babassit a sangana ket natukkol ket naregreg iti amin a waig iti daga. Ket amin dagiti nasion iti daga ket rimuar manipud iti linongna ket pinanawanda isuna.
And ravaging strangers from the nations have destroyed him, and have cast him down upon the mountains: his branches fell in all the valleys, and his boughs were broken in every field of the land; and all the people of the nations are gone down from their shelter, and have laid him low.
13 Amin dagiti billit iti tangatang ket nagbatay iti puon daytoy a kayo, ken amin dagiti atap nga ayup iti tay-ak ket nagtugaw kadagiti sanga daytoy.
All the birds of the sky have settled on his fallen trunk, and all the wild beasts of the field came upon his boughs:
14 Napasamak daytoy tapno awanton ti dadduma a masibsibugan a kayo ti dumakkel iti kasta a katayag, tapno saanda nga ingato ti tuktok ti kayoda iti ngatoen dagiti sanga, ta awanton ti sabali pay a kayo a masibsibugan a dumakkel manen iti kasta a katayag. Ta naipaimada amin iti patay iti kababaan a paset ti daga, iti nagtetengngaan dagiti tattao iti sangkataoan a bimmaban iti abut.
in order that none of the trees by the water should exalt themselves by reason of their size: whereas they set their top in the midst of the clouds, yet they continued not in their high state in their place, all that drank water, all were consigned to death, to the depth of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
15 Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Iti aldaw a naipababa isuna iti Seol, inyegko ti panagladingit iti lubong. Ginaburak ti adalem a danum iti rabawna, ken inatianak dagiti danum iti taaw. Pinasardengko ti napigsa a panagayus dagiti danum, ken inyegko ti panagladingit iti Lebanon para kenkuana! Isu nga amin dagiti kayo iti tay-ak ket nagladingit para kenkuana. (Sheol h7585)
Thus says the Lord God; In the day wherein he went down to Hades, the deep mourned for him: and I stayed her floods, and restrained her abundance of water: and Libanus saddened for him, all the trees of the field fainted for him. (Sheol h7585)
16 Inyegko ti panagkintayeg kadagiti nasion iti kanarpaak ti pannakatuangna, idi imbellengko isuna iti Seol a kaduana dagiti bimmaba iti abut! Ket liniwliwak dagiti amin a kayo iti Eden iti kababaan a paset ti lubong! Dagitoy ti kangrunaan a mapilpili ken kasasayaatan a kayo iti Lebanon, dagiti kayo a masibsibugan iti adu a danum! (Sheol h7585)
At the sound of his fall the nations quaked, when I brought him down to Hades with them that go down to the pit: and all the trees of Delight comforted him in the heart, and the choice of [plants] of Libanus, all that drink water. (Sheol h7585)
17 Ta bimmabada met laeng a kaduada isuna iti seol, kadagidiay a napapatay babaen iti kampilan! Dagitoy dagiti napipigsa a takiagna, dagidiay a nasion a nagnaed iti linongna. (Sheol h7585)
For they went down to hell with him amongst the slain with the sword; and his seed, [even] they that lived under his shadow, perished in the midst of their life. (Sheol h7585)
18 Ania kadagiti kayo iti Eden ti kapadam iti dayag ken kinaindaklan? Ta maipababakanto a kaduam dagiti kayo iti Eden iti kababaan a paset ti lubong, a kaduam dagiti saan a nakugit; makipagnaedkanto kadagiti napapatay babaen iti kampilan! Daytoy ket ni Faraon ken dagiti amin nga adipenna! —kastoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh!’’’
To whom are you compared? descend, and be you debased with the trees of paradise to the depth of the earth: you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword. Thus shall Pharao be, and the multitude of his host, says the Lord God.
