< Ezekiel 31 >
1 Ke len se meet in malem aktolu ke yac aksingoul sie in sruoh lasr, LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
In the eleventh year, on the first day of the third month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, fahkang nu sin tokosra lun Egypt ac mwet lal nukewa: Fuka lupan ku lom! Mea nga ac ku in lumwe kom nu kac?
“Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his multitude: ‘Who can be compared to your greatness?
3 Kom oana soko sak cedar in acn Lebanon Ma lesak kac uh kato, ac arulana yohk acn luliya. Soko sak arulana fulat, ac fiya kac sun pukunyeng uh.
Look at Assyria, a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches that shaded the forest. It towered on high; its top was among the clouds.
4 Oasr kof in akkapye, Ac infacl soror ye fohk uh in akmongoi. Infacl inge aksroksrokye acn ma sak soko inge kapak we Ac supwala infacl srisrik nu ke sak nukewa insak uh.
The waters made it grow; the deep springs made it tall, directing their streams all around its base and sending their channels to all the trees of the field.
5 Ke sripen wo fahsriyen kof uh nu kac El kapak loes liki sak nukewa saya. Lah kac uh kapak loes ac lahlah.
Therefore it towered higher than all the trees of the field. Its branches multiplied, and its boughs grew long as it spread them out because of the abundant waters.
6 Kain in won nukewa orala ahng lalos in lesak uh, Ac kosro lemnak uh oswe natu natulos ye lulin sak uh. Mutunfacl nukewa mongla ye lulin sak soko inge.
All the birds of the air nested in its branches, and all the beasts of the field gave birth beneath its boughs; all the great nations lived in its shade.
7 Fuka oaskuiyen sak soko ah — Kapak arulana fulat, ac loes lah kac. Okah kac uh som nwe ke sun kof ye fohk uh.
It was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its limbs, for its roots extended to abundant waters.
8 Wangin sak cedar in ima lun God ma ku in lumweyuk nu kac. Soenna oasr sak fir ma lahlah oana sak soko ah, Ac lah ke sak saya nukewa tia wo oana lah ke sak soko inge. Wangin pac sak in ima lun God ma kato oana.
The cedars in the garden of God could not rival it; the cypresses could not compare with its branches, nor the plane trees match its boughs. No tree in the garden of God could compare with its beauty.
9 Nga pa orala in arulana oasku ac lahlah. Sak nukewa in Eden, ima lun God, ke ouiyalos sak soko inge.
I made it beautiful with its many branches, the envy of all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God.’
10 “Inge, nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, ac fahk nu sum ma ac sikyak nu ke sak soko ah, su kapak nwe ke na sun pukunyeng uh. Ke el kapak fulat, nunak lal uh fulatak pac.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Since it became great in height and set its top among the clouds, and it grew proud on account of its height,
11 Ouinge nga sisella ac eisalang nu sin sie leum in siena mutunfacl. El ac fah oru nu sin sak soko ah fal nu ke orekma koluk lal.
I delivered it into the hand of the ruler of the nations, for him to deal with it according to its wickedness. I have banished it.
12 Mwet sulallal in mutunfacl saya elos ac fah pakiya, ac som liki. Lah kac, wi lah srisrik uh, ac fah putati nu fineol nukewa ac infahlfal nukewa in facl sac. Mutunfacl nukewa ma tuh muta ye lulin sak uh elos ac fahsrelik.
Foreigners, the most ruthless of the nations, cut it down and left it. Its branches have fallen on the mountains and in every valley; its boughs lay broken in all the earth’s ravines. And all the peoples of the earth left its shade and abandoned it.
13 Won yen engyeng uh ac fah sohkma ac tuhwi fin sak ikori soko ah, ac kosro lemnak uh ac fah fahsr fin lesak uh.
All the birds of the air nested on its fallen trunk, and all the beasts of the field lived among its boughs.
14 Ke ma inge, in pacl se ingela, wangin sak ac ku in sifil kapak fulat ac sun pukunyeng uh oana fulatiyen sak soko ah, finne aksroksrokyeyuk wo. Sak nukewa ac fah misa oana mwet uh, ac welulosyang su som tari nu in facl lun mwet misa.”
This happened so that no other trees by the waters would become great in height and set their tops among the clouds, and no other well-watered trees would reach them in height. For they have all been consigned to death, to the depths of the earth, among the mortals who descend to the Pit.’
15 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk: “Ke len se ma sak soko uh ac som nu in facl sin mwet misa, nga fah oru tuh kof ye fohk uh in afunla sak soko ah, in oana sie akul in asor. Nga ac fah sikulya infacl uh, ac tia lela kutena unon srisrik in sororla. Mweyen sak soko inge misa tari, nga ac fah oru lohsr matoltol in luliya fineol in acn Lebanon, ac oru tuh sak nukewa insak uh in uli. (Sheol )
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘On the day it was brought down to Sheol, I caused mourning. I covered the deep because of it; I held back its rivers; its abundant waters were restrained. I made Lebanon mourn for it, and all the trees of the field fainted because of it. (Sheol )
16 Ke pacl se nga ac supweya sak soko uh nu in facl sin mwet misa uh, ngirla lun ikori lal uh ac fah osrokak mutunfacl uh. Sak nukewa in Eden, ac sak sacnsan nukewa ma aksroksrokyeyuk wo in acn Lebanon ma som tari nu ten ye faclu, ac fah engankin lah ikori. (Sheol )
I made the nations quake at the sound of its downfall, when I cast it down to Sheol with those who descend to the Pit. Then all the trees of Eden, the choicest and best of Lebanon, all the well-watered trees, were consoled in the earth below. (Sheol )
17 Elos ac fah wi sak soko inge som nu in facl sin mwet misa, in tuh weang sak nukewa ma ikori tari. Na mwet nukewa su muta ye lulin sak soko ah, ac fahsrelik nu in facl saya uh. (Sheol )
They too descended with it to Sheol, to those slain by the sword. As its allies they had lived in its shade among the nations. (Sheol )
18 “Sak soko inge pa tokosra lun acn Egypt ac mwet nukewa lal. Wangin sak in ima Eden ma fulat ac kato oana sak soko uh. Tusruktu inge el ac oana sak Eden uh, ac som nu in facl sin mwet misa, ac weang mwet su tia etu God, ac elos su anwukla ke mweun. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge.”
Who then is like you in glory and greatness among the trees of Eden? You also will be brought down to the depths of the earth to be with the trees of Eden. You will lie among the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares the Lord GOD.’”
