Ezekiela 31
1 Ary tamin’ ny andro voalohany tamin’ ny volana fahatelo tamin’ ny taona fahiraika ambin’ ny folo dia tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
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 Ry zanak’ olona, ataovy amin’ i Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, sy amin’ ny vahoakany maro be hoe: Tahaka an’ iza moa ianao amin’ ny fahalehibiazanao?
'Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and unto his multitude: To whom hast thou been like in thy greatness?
3 Indro, Asyria dia sedera tsara rantsana any Libanona ary misandrahaka manalokaloka sady mijoroaka avo, ka mitehika amin’ ny rahona matevina ny tendrony.
Lo, Asshur, a cedar in Lebanon, Fair in branch, and shading bough, and high in stature, And between thickets hath its foliage been.
4 Ny rano no nahalehibe azy, eny, ny rano lalina no nampijoroaka azy, ary ny ranovelona no nandeha manodidina ny tany nambolena azy ka nampandeha ny lakan-dranony hankamin’ ny hazo rehetra any an-tsaha.
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 Koa dia nijoroaka ho avo noho ny hazo rehetra any an-tsaha izy, ary nihamaro ny sampany sady nihalava ny rantsany noho ny habetsahan’ ny rano tamin’ ny fisandrahany.
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 Teo amin’ ny sampany no nanaovan’ ny voro-manidina rehetra akany; Ary teo ambanin’ ny rantsany no niterahan’ ny bibi-dia rehetra; Sady teo amin’ ny alokalony no nitoeran’ ny firenena malaza rehetra.
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 Ka dia tsara tarehy tamin’ ny fahalehibiazany sy ny halavan’ ny sampany izy; Fa tany amin’ ny rano maro ny fakany.
And he is fair in his greatness, In the length of his thin shoots, For his root hath been by great waters.
8 Tsy nahatakona azy ny sedera tao amin’ ny sahan’ Andriamanitra; Tsy mba nahatoraka ny sampany ny hazo kypreso, tsy mba nanana rantsana tahaka azy ny hazo platana; Ary tsy nisy tsara tarehy tahaka azy ny hazo rehetra tany amin’ ny sahan’ Andriamanitra.
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 Nohatsaraiko tamin’ ny haben’ ny rantsany ny tarehiny; Ka dia nialona azy ny hazo rehetra tany Edena, dia ireo tany amin’ ny sahan’ Andriamanitra.
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 Koa izany no nanaovan’ i Jehovah Tompo hoe: Satria nijoroaka avo izy ka nanandratra ny lohany teo amin’ ny rahona matevina, ary nirehareha ny fony noho ny hahavony,
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 Dia hatolotro eo an-tànan’ ilay mahery amin’ ny firenena izy; Hamely azy tokoa io; Noho ny faharatsiany no nandroahako azy.
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 Ary izay fahavalo masiaka indrindra amin’ ny firenena no nanapaka azy sady nanary azy; Teny an-tendrombohitra sy teny amin’ ny lohasaha rehetra no nihahafan’ ny sampany, ary notapatapahina teny amoron’ ny ony rehetra amin’ ny tany ny rantsany; Ary nidina niala tamin’ ny alokalony ny firenena rehetra ka nahafoy avy.
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 Mipetraka eo amin’ ny vatany nianjera ny voro-manidina rehetra, ary eny amin’ ny sampany ny bibi-dia rehetra,
On his ruin dwell do all fowls of the heavens, And on his boughs have been all the beasts of the field,
14 Mba tsy hisy hiavonavona intsony noho ny hahavony ny hazo rehetra eny amoron’ ny rano, na hanandratra ny lohany ho eo amin’ ny rahona matevina, sady tsy hisy hitoky amin’ ny hahavony intsony ny hazo mifo-drano rehetra; Fa voatolotra ho faty izy rehetra ho any ambanin’ ny tany, ho ao amin’ ny zanak’ olombelona, dia any amin’ izay midìna any an-davaka.
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 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Tamin’ ny andro nidinany ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita dia nampanao fisaonana Aho: Nanarona ny rano lalina noho ny aminy Aho sady nanampina ny ony avy aminy, ka dia najanona ny rano maro; Nampisaoniko Libanona noho ny aminy, ka nalazo noho izany ny hazo rehetra tany an-tsaha. (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 Tamin’ ny fiezinezin’ ny fianjerany dia nampihorohoroiko ny firenena, raha nampidiniko ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita izy, ho naman’ izay midìna any an-davaka; Ary ny hazo rehetra any Edena, dia ny nojobonina sady soa indrindra any Libanona, dia izay mifo-drano rehetra, samy nampionona ny tenany any ambanin’ ny tany, (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 Ireo koa dia niara-nidina taminy ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita, ho any amin’ izay voatrabaky ny sabatra, mbamin’ ireo izay efa sandriny teo, ka nipetraka teo ambanin’ ny alokalony teo amin’ ny firenena. (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 Tahaka an’ iza amin’ ny hazo any Edena moa ianao amin’ izao voninahitra sy fahalehibiazana izao? Hampidinina ho any ambanin’ ny tany miaraka amin’ ny hazo any Edena ianao; Eo amin’ ny tsy voafora no hiamparanao, dia eo amin’ izay voa-trabaky ny sabatra. Farao sy ny vahoakany maro be rehetra izany, hoy Jehovah Tompo.
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!'
