Ezekieli 31
1 Katika mwaka wa kumi na moja, mwezi wa tatu, siku ya kwanza, neno la Bwana likanijia, kusema:
And it was in one [plus] ten year in the third [month] on [day] one of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 “Mwanadamu, mwambie Farao mfalme wa Misri na makundi yake ya wajeuri: “‘Je, ni nani awezaye kulinganishwa na wewe katika fahari.
O son of humankind say to Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and to multitude his whom? are you like in greatness your.
3 Angalia Ashuru, wakati fulani ilikuwa mwerezi huko Lebanoni, ukiwa na matawi mazuri ukitia msitu kivuli; ulikuwa mrefu sana, kilele chake kilipita majani ya miti yote.
There! Assyria [was] a cedar in Lebanon beautiful of branch[es] and forest giving shade and tall of height and between branches it was treetop its.
4 Maji mengi yaliustawisha, chemchemi zenye maji mengi ziliufanya urefuke; vijito vyake vilitiririka pale ulipoota pande zote na kupeleka mifereji yake kwenye miti yote ya shambani.
Waters they made grow it [the] deep it raised up it rivers its going around planting place its and channels its it sent out to all [the] trees of the field.
5 Hivyo ukarefuka kupita miti yote ya shambani; vitawi vyake viliongezeka na matawi yake yakawa marefu, yakitanda kwa sababu ya wingi wa maji.
There-fore it was tall height its more than all [the] trees of the field and they became great boughs its and they became long (branches its *Q(K)*) from waters many when sent out it.
6 Ndege wote wa angani wakaweka viota kwenye vitawi vyake, wanyama wote wa shambani wakazaana chini ya matawi yake, mataifa makubwa yote yaliishi chini ya kivuli chake.
In boughs its they made nests every bird of the heavens and under branches its they gave birth every animal of the field and in shade its they dwelt all nations great.
7 Ulikuwa na fahari katika uzuri, ukiwa na matawi yaliyotanda, kwa kuwa mizizi yake ilikwenda chini mpaka kwenye maji mengi.
And it was beautiful in greatness its in [the] length of branches its for it was root its to waters many.
8 Mierezi katika bustani ya Mungu haikuweza kushindana nao, wala misunobari haikuweza kulingana na vitawi vyake, wala miaramoni haikulinganishwa na matawi yake, wala hakukuwa na mti katika bustani ya Mungu wa kulinganisha na uzuri wake.
Cedars not they eclipsed it in [the] garden of God fir trees not they were like boughs its and plane trees not they were like branches its every tree in [the] garden of God not it was like it in beauty its.
9 Niliufanya kuwa mzuri ukiwa na matawi mengi, ulionewa wivu na miti yote ya Edeni katika bustani ya Mungu.
Beautiful I made it in [the] abundance of branches its and they envied it all [the] trees of Eden which [were] in [the] garden of God.
10 “‘Kwa hiyo hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Kwa sababu ulikuwa mrefu sana, kilele chake kikiwa juu ya majani manene ya miti na kwa sababu ulikuwa na kiburi cha urefu wake,
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because that you were tall in height and it set treetop its to between branches and it was lifted up heart its in height its.
11 niliutia mikononi mwa mtawala wa mataifa, ili yeye aushughulikie sawasawa na uovu wake. Nikaukatilia mbali,
And I will give it in [the] hand of a leader of nations certainly he will do to it according to wickedness its I drove out it.
12 nayo mataifa mageni yaliyo makatili sana yaliukata huo mti na kuuacha. Matawi yake yalianguka juu ya milima na kwenye mabonde yote, vitawi vyake vikavunjika na kusambaa katika makorongo yote ya nchi. Mataifa yote ya duniani yakaondoka kutoka kwenye kivuli chake na kuuacha.
And they cut down it strangers ruthless [ones] of nations and they abandoned it to the mountains and in all [the] valleys they fell branches its and they were broken branches its in all [the] ravines of the land and they went down from shade its all [the] peoples of the earth and they abandoned it.
13 Ndege wote wa angani wakakaa kwenye ule mti ulioanguka na wanyama pori wote wakakaa katikati ya vitawi vyake.
On fallen trunk its they dwelt every bird of the heavens and to branches its they came every animal of the field.
14 Kamwe hakutakuwa na miti mingine kando ya hayo maji itakayorefuka zaidi ya huo, vilele vyake vikiwa juu ya majani yote ya miti. Hakuna miti mingine, hata kama imekunywa maji vizuri namna gani, itakayofikia urefu huo. Yote mwisho wake ni kifo, na kuingia ardhini, kama vile ilivyo kwa wanadamu, pamoja na wale waendao shimoni.
So that that not they may be lifted up in height their any trees of water and not they may set treetop their to between branches and not they may stand leaders their by height their any drinkers of water for all of them they have been given to death to [the] earth lowest in among [the] children of humankind to [those who] go down of [the] pit.
15 “‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Katika siku ile mwerezi uliposhushwa chini kaburini nilizifunika chemchemi zenye maji mengi kwa maombolezo: Nilivizuia vijito vyake na wingi wa maji yake nikauzuia. Kwa sababu yake niliivika Lebanoni huzuni, nayo miti yote ya shambani ikanyauka. (Sheol h7585)
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh on [the] day went down it Sheol towards I caused mourning I covered over it [the] deep and I withheld rivers its and they were restrained waters many and I made mourn on it Lebanon and all [the] trees of the field on it [were] wilted. (Sheol h7585)
16 Niliyafanya mataifa yatetemeke kwa kishindo cha kuanguka kwake wakati nilipoushusha chini kaburini pamoja na wale washukao shimoni. Ndipo miti yote ya Edeni, miti iliyo bora kuliko yote na iliyo mizuri sana ya Lebanoni, miti yote ile iliyokunywa maji vizuri, ilifarijika hapa duniani. (Sheol h7585)
From [the] sound of downfall its I caused to tremble nations when brought down I it Sheol towards with [those who] go down of [the] pit and they were comforted in [the] earth lowest all [the] trees of Eden [the] choicest and [the] good of Lebanon all drinkers of water. (Sheol h7585)
17 Wale walioishi katika kivuli chake, wale walioungana naye miongoni mwa mataifa, nao pia walikuwa wamezikwa pamoja naye, wakiungana na wale waliouawa kwa upanga. (Sheol h7585)
Also they with it they went down Sheol towards to [those] slain of a sword and arm its [which] they dwelt in shade its in among [the] nations. (Sheol h7585)
18 “‘Ni miti ipi ya Edeni inayoweza kulinganishwa nawe kwa fahari na utukufu? Hata hivyo, wewe pia, utashushwa chini pamoja na miti ya Edeni mpaka kuzimu, utalala miongoni mwa wasiotahiriwa, pamoja na wale waliouawa kwa upanga. “‘Huyu ni Farao pamoja na makundi yake yote ya wajeuri, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.’” (questioned)
Whom? are you like thus in splendor and in greatness among [the] trees of Eden and you will be brought down with [the] trees of Eden to [the] earth lowest in among uncircumcised [men] you will lie with [those] slain of a sword that [is] Pharaoh and all (multitude his *Q(K)*) [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
