< Hesekiel 31 >

1 Mfe dubaako mu, ɔsram a ɛto so abiɛsa no da a edi kan no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
And it was don in the enleuenthe yeer, in the thridde moneth, in the firste dai of the monethe, the word of the Lord was maad to me,
2 “Onipa ba, ka kyerɛ Misraimhene Farao ne ne dɔm se: “‘Hena ho na wɔde wo kɛseyɛ bɛtoto?
and he seide, Thou, sone of man, seie to Farao, kyng of Egipt, and to his puple, To whom art thou maad lijk in thi greetnesse?
3 Dwene Asiria ho, sida bi a bere bi na ɛwɔ Lebanon, Ɔde mman a ɛyɛ fɛ, na ɛhyɛ kwae so nyin kɔɔ soro yiye, ma ne nkɔn mu boro nhaban a ayɛ kusuu no so.
Lo! Assur as a cedre in Liban, fair in braunchis, and ful of boowis, and hiy bi hiynesse; and his heiyte was reisid among thicke bowis.
4 Nsu no maa no aduan, mmura a mu dɔ ma enyin kɔɔ soro; wɔn nsuwansuwa sen faa nʼase nyinaa de kɔɔ mfuw no so nnua nyinaa ho.
Watris nurschiden hym, the depthe of watris enhaunside him; hise floodis fletiden out in the cumpas of hise rootis, and he sente out hise strondis to alle the trees of the cuntrei.
5 Enti ɛkɔɔ sorosoro sen mfuw no so nnua nyinaa; ne dubaa dɔɔso ne mman nyin yɛɛ atenten, na nsu dodow a enyaa no nti ɛdennanee.
Therfor his hiynesse was enhaunsid ouer alle trees of the cuntrei, and hise trees weren multiplied, and hise braunchis weren reisid, for many watris.
6 Wim nnomaa nyinaa yɛɛ wɔn berebuw wɔ ne dubaa no mu, wuram mmoa nyinaa wowoo mma wɔ ne mman no ase aman akɛse nyinaa tenaa ne nwini ase.
And whanne he hadde stretchid forth his schadewe, alle the volatils of the eir maden nestis in hise braunchis; and alle the beestis of forestis gendriden vndur hise boowis, and the cumpeny of ful many folkis dwellide vndur the schadewynge place of hym.
7 Na ne kɛseyɛ no yɛ fɛ, ne dubaa a adennan no nti, na ne ntin nyin kɔɔ fam koduu nsu bebree mu.
And he was ful fair in his greetnesse, and in alargyng of hise trees; for the roote of hym was bisidis many watris.
8 Sida a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn turo mu nto no, na ɔpepaw nnua nso dubaa ne no nyɛ pɛ, na wontumi mfa ɔfo nnua nso ntoto ne mman ho, dua biara nni Onyankopɔn turo no mu a nʼahoɔfɛ te sɛ no.
Cedris in the paradijs of God weren not hiyere than he; fir trees atteyneden not euenli to the hiynesse of hym, and plane trees weren not euene with the boowis of hym. Ech tree of paradijs of God was not maad lic hym and his fairnesse.
9 Mebɔɔ no ahoɔfɛ maa no mman bebree, na nnua a ɛwɔ Eden nyinaa Onyankopɔn turo no mu no ani beree no.
For Y made hym fair, and with many and thicke boowis; and alle the trees of lust, that weren in the paradijs of God, hadden enuye to hym.
10 “‘Ɛno nti, sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Esiane sɛ enyin kɔɔ soro, maa ne nkɔn mu hyɛɛ nhaban a abunkam so, na afei ɔyɛɛ ahantan wɔ ne tentenyɛ ho nti,
Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, For that that he was reisid in hiynesse, and he yaf his hyynesse greene and thicke, and his herte was reisid in his hiynesse;
11 mede no hyɛɛ amanaman sodifo nsa, sɛ ɔne no nni no sɛnea nʼamumɔyɛ te. Mepoo no,
now Y haue youe hym in to the hondis of the strongeste man of hethene men. And he doynge schal do to that Assur; aftir the vnfeithfulnesse of hym Y castide hym out.
12 na ananafo aman no mu anuɔdenfo twaa no hwee fam, na ogyaw no hɔ. Ne dubaa no hwehwee mmepɔw ne aku mu; ne mman mu bubuu wɔ subon mu. Asase so aman nyinaa fii ne nwini ase, na wogyaw no hɔ.
And aliens, and the moost cruel men of naciouns, schulen kitte hym doun, and schulen caste hym forth on hillis. And hise braunchis schulen falle doun in alle grete valeis, and hise trees schulen be brokun in alle roochis of stoon of erthe. And alle the puplis of erthe schulen go awei fro his schadewing place, and schulen forsake hym.
13 Wim nnomaa nyinaa sisii dua a abu no so, na wuram mmoa kɔhyehyɛɛ ne mman mu.
Alle volatils of the eir dwelliden in the fallyng of hym, and alle beestis of the cuntrei weren in the braunchis of hym.
14 Ɛno nti, nnua a ɛwɔ nsu ho no mu biara renyɛ ahantan, nnyin nkɔ sorosoro, mmoro nhaban a abunkam so no so. Nnua afoforo biara a enya nsu bebree no rennyin nkɔ soro saa bio. Wɔahyɛ sɛ wɔn nyinaa bewu akɔ asase ase, wɔ nnipamma a wosian kɔ amoa mu no nkyɛn.
Wherfor alle the trees of watris schulen not be reisid in hir hiynesse, nether schulen sette hir hiynesse among places ful of woode, and ful of boowis, and alle trees that ben moistid of watris schulen not stonde in the hiynesse of tho. For alle thei ben youun in to deth, to the ferthest lond in the myddis of the sones of men, to hem that goon doun in to the lake.
15 “‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Da a wɔde no too ɔda mu no, mede awerɛhow kataa nsuwansuwa a mu dɔ no so maa no, na amma ne nsuten no ansen, na misiw ne nsu dodow no kwan. Ne nti mede kusuuyɛ furaa Lebanon, na nnua a ɛwɔ sare no so nyinaa botowee. (Sheol h7585)
The Lord God seith these thingis, In the dai whanne he yede doun to hellis, Y brouyte yn mourenyng; Y hilide hym with depthe of watris, and I forbede his flodis, and Y refreynede many watris. The Liban was sori on him, and alle the trees of the feeld (Sheol h7585)
16 Memaa aman no ho popoo wɔ nʼasehwe nnyigyei no ho, bere a mede no baa ɔda mu ne wɔn a wɔasian kɔ amoa mu no. Afei Eden nnua nyinaa, nea ɛte apɔw na ɛyɛ papa wɔ Lebanon, nnua a enya nsu yiye nyinaa nyaa awerɛkyekye wɔ asase ase. (Sheol h7585)
weren shakun of the soun of his falling. I mouide togidere hethene men, whanne Y ledde hym doun to helle, with hem that yeden doun in to the lake. And alle trees of likyng, noble trees, and ful cleere in the Liban, alle that weren moistid with watris, weren coumfortid in the loweste lond. (Sheol h7585)
17 Wɔn a wɔtenaa ne nwini ase, ne ne dɔm a wɔwɔ amanaman no mu nso ne no kɔ ɔda mu, akɔka wɔn a wɔtotɔɔ wɔ afoa ano no ho. (Sheol h7585)
For whi also thei schulen go doun with hym to helle, to slayn men with swerd; and the arm of ech man schal sitte vndur the schadewyng place of hym, in the myddis of naciouns. (Sheol h7585)
18 “‘Nnua a ɛwɔ Eden no mu de, ɛwɔ he na ebetumi de ne ho atoto wo ho wɔ anuonyam ne kɛseyɛ mu? Nanso wo nso wobesian wo akɔ fam, wo ne Eden nnua no. Wobɛfra momonotofo mu, wɔn a wɔatotɔ wɔ afoa ano no. “‘Eyi yɛ Farao ne ne dɔm no, Otumfo Awurade asɛm ni.’”
To whom art thou licned, thou noble and hiy among the trees of likyng? Lo! thou art led doun with the trees of likyng to the fertheste lond. In the myddis of vncircumcidid men thou schalt slepe, with hem that ben slayn bi swerd. Thilke is Farao, and al the multitude of hym, seith the Lord God.
