< 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, in the third month, in the first day of the month, the LORD’s word 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, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt and his multitude: ‘Whom are you like in 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.
Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with beautiful branches, and with a forest-like shade, of high stature; and its top was amongst the thick boughs.
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 nourished it. The deep made it to grow. Its rivers ran all around its plantation. It sent out its 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 its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied. Its branches became long by reason of many waters, when it spread them out.
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 sky made their nests in its boughs. Under its branches, all the animals of the field gave birth to their young. All great nations lived under its shadow.
7 Fuka oaskuiyen sak soko ah — Kapak arulana fulat, ac loes lah kac. Okah kac uh som nwe ke sun kof ye fohk uh.
Thus it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many 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 hide it. The cypress trees were not like its branches. The pine trees were not like its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like it in 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 by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it.’
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 thus said the Lord GOD: ‘Because he is exalted in stature, and he has set his top amongst the thick branches, and his heart is lifted up in his 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 will deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations. He will surely deal with him. I have driven him out for his wickedness.
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 tyrants of the nations, have cut him off and have left him. His branches have fallen on the mountains and in all the valleys, and his boughs are broken by all the watercourses of the land. All the peoples of the earth have gone down from his shadow and have left him.
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 sky will dwell on his ruin, and all the animals of the field will be on his branches,
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.”
to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, and don’t set their top amongst the thick boughs. Their mighty ones don’t stand up on their height, even all who drink water; for they are all delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, amongst the children of men, with those who go down 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 )
“The Lord GOD says: ‘In the day when he went down to Sheol, I caused a mourning. I covered the deep for him, and I restrained its rivers. The great waters were stopped. I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. (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 to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol with those who descend into the pit. 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 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 also went down into Sheol with him to those who are slain by the sword; yes, those who were his arm, who lived under his shadow in the middle of 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.”
“‘To whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness amongst the trees of Eden? Yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lower parts of the earth. You will lie in the middle of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword. “‘This is Pharaoh and all his multitude,’ says the Lord GOD.”
