< इजकिएल 31 >
1 एघारौं वर्षको तेस्रो महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
It happened in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
2 “ए मानिसको छोरा, मिश्रदेशको राजा फारो, र त्यसको वरिपरि भएका धेरै भीडलाई यसो भन्, ‘तेरो महान्तामा, तँ कोजस्तो छस्?
"Son of man, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: 'Whom are you like in your greatness?
3 हेर्! लेबनानमा अश्शूर, सुन्दर हाँगाहरू भएको लेबनानको एउटा देवदारु थियो, जसले वनलाई छाया दियो, र त्यो उचाइमा सबैभन्दा अग्लो थियो, र त्यसका हाँगाहरू टुप्पोसम्म पुगेका थिए ।
Look, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with beautiful branches, and with a forest-like shade, and of high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs.
4 धेरै पानीले त्यसलाई अग्लो बनायो । गहिरो पानीले त्यो विशाल भयो । त्यसको वरिपरिबाट नदीहरू बगे, र त्यसका धारहरू मैदानका सारा रूखहरूकहाँ फैलिए ।
The waters nourished it, the deep made it to grow: its rivers ran all around its plantation; and it sent out its channels to all the trees of the field.
5 मैदानका अरू सबै रूखभन्दा त्यसको उचाइ धेरै थियो, र त्यसका हाँगाहरू धेरै भए । पानी प्रशस्त भएको कारणले त्यसका हाँगाहरू लामा-लामा भए ।
Therefore its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long by reason of many waters, when it shot them forth.
6 आकाशका हरेक चराले त्यसका हाँगाहरूमा गुँड बनाए, र त्यसका शितल छहारीमा जमिनका सारा प्रानीले बच्चा जन्माए । धेरै जातिहरूका सबैले त्यसको छायामुनि बास गरे ।
All the birds of the sky made their nests in its boughs; and under its branches all the animals of the field brought forth their young; and all great nations lived under its shadow.
7 त्यसको महान्तामा त्यो सुन्दर थियो र त्यसका हाँगाहरू लामा-लामा थिए, किनकि त्यसका जराहरू प्रशस्त पानीमा थिए ।
Thus was it beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters.
8 परमेश्वरका बगैंचाका देवदारुहरू पनि त्योबराबर थिएनन् । कुनै पनि सल्लाको रूखका हाँगाहरू त्यसकोझैं थिएनन्, र चिनारको रूख त्यसका हाँगाहरूसित दाँज्न सकिंदैनथ्यो । परमेश्वरको बगैंचामा त्यसको सुन्दरतासँग मेल गर्न सकिने कुनै अर्को रूख थिएन ।
The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the fir trees were not like its boughs, and the plane trees were not as its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like it in its beauty.
9 मैले त्यसका धेरै हाँगासित त्यसलाई सुन्दर बनाएँ र परमेश्वरको बगैंचामा भएका अदनका सबै रूखले त्यसको डाह गर्थे ।
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 यसैकारण परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यस्तो भन्नुहुन्छ: त्यो उचाइमा अग्लो भएको कारण, र त्यसको टुप्पो त्यसका हाँगाहरूका बिचमा भएको हुनाले, आफ्नो उचाइको कारण त्यो घमण्डले फुल्यो ।
"Therefore thus said Jehovah: 'Because you are exalted in stature, and he has set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
11 त्यसको दुष्टताअनुसार त्यसलाई व्यवहार गरियोस् भनेर मैले त्यसलाई जातिहरूका बिचमा एउटा शक्तिशाली व्यक्तिको हातमा दिएको छु । मैले त्यसलाई बाहिर फालेको छु ।
I will even deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him; I have driven him out for his wickedness.
12 सारा जातिहरूका बिचमा आतङ्क ल्याउने विदेशीहरूले त्यसलाई काटेर ढाले र मर्नलाई छोडिदिए । पहाडहरू र सबै बेंसीतिर त्यसका हाँगाहरू खसे, र त्यसका ठुला-ठुला हाँगाहरू जमिनका खोल्साहरूमा भाँचिएर झरे । तब पृथ्वीका सारा जातिहरू त्यसको छायामुनिबाट बाहिर निस्के र तिनीहरू त्यसबाट टाढा गए ।
Strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: on the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the watercourses of the land; and all the peoples of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
13 आकाशका सबै चरा त्यो ढलेको रूखको मुढोमाथि बसे, र जमिनका सबै पशु त्यसका हाँगाहरू भएको ठाउँमा आए ।
On his ruin all the birds of the sky shall dwell, and all the animals of the field shall be on his branches;
14 प्रशस्त पानीको छेउको त्यो अग्लो रूखभन्दा धेरै उचाइमा अरू कुनै रूखहरू नहून्, र त्यो उचाइसम्म पुग्नेगरी अरू कुनै रूख नबढून् भनेर यस्तो भयो । मृत्युमा जान, जमिनमा तल जान, मानिसका छोरा-छोरीध्ये खाडलमुनि जानेहरूसित जानलाई ती सबैलाई नियुक्त गरिएका छन् ।
to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, neither set their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones stand up on their height, even all who drink water: for they are all delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, among human beings who go down to the pit.'
15 परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यस्तो भन्नुहुन्छ: त्यो देवदारु चिहानमा गएको दिन, मैले पृथ्वीमा शोक ल्याएँ । मैले त्यसमाथि गहिरो पानीले ढाकें, र मैले समुद्रको पानी थुनें । मैले विशाल पानीलाई रोकें, र त्यसको कारण लेबनानमाथि मैले शोक ल्याएँ । यसैले त्यसको कारणले मैदानका सबै रूखले विलाप गरे । (Sheol )
"Thus says Jehovah: 'In the day when he went down to Sheol I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained its rivers; and the great waters were stayed; and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. (Sheol )
16 मैले त्यसलाई खाडलमा जानेहरूसँगै चिहानमा फ्याँकेपछि, त्यसको पतनको आवाजद्वारा मैले जातिहरूमा डर ल्याएँ । यसैले मैले पृथ्वीका तल्लो भागहरूमा अदनका सबै रूखलाई सान्त्वना दिएँ । यी लेबनानका चुनिएका र उत्कृष्ट रूखहरू थिए। ती प्रशस्त पानी पिएका रूखहरू थिए । (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; and 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 किनकि तिनीहरू त्योसँगै तरवारद्वारा मारिएकाहरूकहाँ तल चिहानमा गए । यी त्यसका बलिया पाखुरा, अर्थात् त्यसका छायामुनि बसेका जातिहरू थिए । (Sheol )
They also went down into Sheol with him to those who are slain by the sword; yes, those who were his arm, that lived under his shadow in the midst of the nations. (Sheol )
18 अदनको कुन चाहिं रूख महिमा र महान्तामा तेरो बराबर थियो र? किनकि अदनका रूखहरूसँगै तँ खतना नभएकाहरूका बिचमा पृथ्वीका तल्ला भागहरूमा खसालिनेछस् । तरवारद्वारा मारिएकाहरूसँगै तँ रहनेछस् ।’ यो फारो र त्यसका सबै भीड हो, यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ ।”
To whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? Yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lower parts of the earth: you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude,' says Jehovah."
