Ezekiela 31
1 Aa tamy taom-paha-folo-raik’ambiy amy andro valoham-bolam-paha-teloy, le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty 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 O ana’ ondatio, saontsio t’i Paro mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime naho i volobohò’ey: Mañirinkiriñ’ama’ ia irehe amo fitoabora’oo?
'Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and unto his multitude: To whom hast thou been like in thy greatness?
3 Hehe ty mpanjaka’ i Asore ie ni-mendoraveñe e Libanone añe aman-tsampa’e fanjaka, amañ’aloke mangonkoñe, niningoningo nañambone; nitiotiotse amo tsampañe boda’eo o lengo’eo.
Lo, Asshur, a cedar in Lebanon, Fair in branch, and shading bough, and high in stature, And between thickets hath its foliage been.
4 Namahañe aze o ranoo; nampandigiligy aze mañambone i lalekey; niariary am-pandia’eo o saka’eo, nahitri’e mb’amo hene hatae an-kivokeo o fikararaha’eo.
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 Aa le fonga niandikera’ ze hatae an-kivokey ty haabo’e, nihamaro o tsampa’eo, nihalava o tora’eo ty amo rano’e maroo, le nampitakare’e mb’eo.
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 Rinare’ o hene voron-dikerañeo amo tsampa’eo o traño’eo, naho añ’alo’ o tora’eo te niteraha’ o bibin-kivokeo o ana’eo, vaho nitsolok’ ambane talinjo’e eo ty valobohò’ o fifeheañe iabio.
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 Nihamim-batan-dre amy hara’elahi’ey, ami’ty fandrevaha’ o tsampa’eo, amy te nahatakatse rano maro o vaha’eo.
And he is fair in his greatness, In the length of his thin shoots, For his root hath been by great waters.
8 Tsy nanaroñe aze o mendorave an-golobon’ Añahareo, tsy nanahake o tora’eo o akaoo, vaho tsy nañirinkiriñe o tora’eo ty nonoke; leo hatae raik’ an-golobon’Añahare ao tsy nihambañe amy ha’fanjàka’ey.
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 Izaho ty nampitsomerentsereñ’ aze, ami’ty fandrevaha’ o ra’eo; vaho sindre nitsikirìk’ aze ze hatae Edene ao, an-golobon’ Añahare ao.
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 Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: amy t’ie nañonjom-batañe añ’abo ey naho nampiningonigoetse mb’an-drahoñe ey ty lengo’e, vaho nirengevoke ty arofo’e ami’ty fitoabora’e;
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 le fa natoloko am-pità’ i maozatse amo kilakila’ ndatioy; ie ty hiatreatre aze; amy t’ie fa finirako ambane ty amo haloloa’eo.
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 O ambahinio, ty maozatse amo kilakila’ndatio, ty hañatsak’ aze naho hapo’e eo; hideboñe amo vohitseo o tora’eo, naho amo vavataneo, naho hipozake marine o saka’ i taneio o ra’eo; le hisitak’ amy talinjo’ey ze hene ondati’ ty tane toy, vaho haforintseñe.
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 Hidoñe amy firotsaha’ey ze kila voron-dikerañe, vaho ho amo tsampa’eo ze hene bibin-kivoke,
On his ruin dwell do all fowls of the heavens, And on his boughs have been all the beasts of the field,
14 soa te tsy ho amo hatae añ’olon-dranoo ty hionjom-batañe ty amy haandikera’ey, ndra hampitiotiotse o tsampa’eo ambone’ o bodan-tora’eo, naho tsy hitroatse hijoalajoala añivo’ o ra’eo ze hene mpikama rano; fonga hatolotse am-pihomahañe iereo, pak’an-tsikeokeo’ ty tane toy añivo’ o ana’ondaty fa nigodañe an-kiborio.
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 Aa hoe t’Iehovà Talè; Amy andro nizotsoa’e mb’an-tsikeokeok’ aoy, le nampandalako; nakopoko ho aze i lalekey, naho sinebako o fisorotombaha’eo, le hene nijihetse o ranoo; le nihontoke ho aze t’i Libanone, vaho fonga nitoirañe o hatae an-kivokeo. (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 Nampihondrahondraeko o kilakila’ ndatio ami’ty feom-pideboña’e, ie navokovokoko an-tsikeokeok’ ao hitraofa’e amo mizotso mb’an-koboñeo; naho nohòñeñe o hene hatae Edeneo, naho o fanjàka amo hatae e Libanoneo; ze hene mpisì-drano, an-tsikeokeo’ ty tane toy ao. (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 Nitrao-pizotso ama’e mb’an-tsikeokeoke mb’eo o zinamam-pibarao; naho o nimpitàm-pialia’eo, o nimoneñe ambane’ i talinjo’ey añivo’ o kilakila’ ndatioo. (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 Ia arè ty añirinkiriña’o an-drenge naho ami’ty hajabahina’o añivo’ o hatae Edeneo? F’ihe ho firaeñe rekets’ o hatae Edeneo, homb’ an-tsikeokeo-ty tane toy ao; hàndre añivo’ o tsy sinavatseo, mindre amo zinamam-pibarao. Izay ty amy Parò naho ondati’e iabio, hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
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!'
