Ezekiel 31
1 Ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní, oṣù kẹta ọdún kọkànlá, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, sọ fún Farao ọba Ejibiti àti sí ìjọ rẹ̀: “‘Ta ní a le fiwé ọ ní ọláńlá?
Son of man, say unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to his multitude, Unto whom art thou like in thy arrogance?
3 Kíyèsi Asiria, tí ó jẹ́ igi kedari ni Lebanoni ní ìgbà kan rí, pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹ̀ka dáradára tí ó ṣẹ́ ìji bo igbó náà; tí ó ga sókè, òkè rẹ̀ lókè ni ewé tí ó nípọn wà.
Behold, Asshur was a cedar in Lebanon beautiful in its boughs, and a shadowing thicket, and high in stature; and among the thick-boughed trees was its highest branch.
4 Omi mú un dàgbàsókè: orísun omi tí ó jinlẹ̀ mú kí o dàgbàsókè; àwọn odo rẹ̀ ń sàn yí ìdí rẹ̀ ká, ó sì rán ìṣàn omi rẹ̀ sí gbogbo igi orí pápá.
The waters made it great, the deep made it high, with its rivers it was flowing round the place where it was planted, and its ditches it sent forth unto all the trees of the field.
5 Nítorí náà ó ga sí òkè fíofío ju gbogbo igi orí pápá lọ; ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ pọ̀ sí i àwọn ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ sì gùn, wọn tẹ́ rẹrẹ nítorí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ omi.
Therefore became its stature higher than all the trees of the field, and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when it stretched itself forth.
6 Ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run kọ ilé sí ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ gbogbo ẹranko igbó ń bímọ ní abẹ́ ẹ̀ka rẹ̀; gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá ń gbé abẹ́ ìji rẹ̀.
In its boughs made all the fowls of heaven their nest, and under its branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under its shade dwelt all great nations.
7 Ọláńlá ní ẹwà rẹ̀ jẹ́, pẹ̀lú títẹ́ rẹrẹ ẹ̀ka rẹ̀, nítorí gbòǹgbò rẹ̀ lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ sí ibi tí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ omi wà.
And it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its light branches; for its root was by many waters.
8 Àwọn igi kedari nínú ọgbà Ọlọ́run kò lè è bò ó mọ́lẹ̀; tàbí kí àwọn igi junifa ṣe déédé pẹ̀lú ẹ̀ka rẹ̀, tàbí kí a fi igi títẹ́ rẹrẹ wé ẹ̀ka rẹ̀, kò sí igi nínú ọgbà Ọlọ́run tí ó dà bí rẹ̀ ní ẹwà rẹ̀.
The cedars could not obscure it in the garden of God; the firs were not like its boughs, and the chestnut-trees were not like its branches: not any tree in the garden of God was like unto it in its beauty.
9 Mo mú kí ó ní ẹwà pẹ̀lú ẹ̀ka lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ tó fi jẹ́ ìlara àwọn igi gbogbo ní Edeni tí í ṣe ọgbà Ọlọ́run.
Beautiful had I made it by the multitude of its light branches: so that all the trees of 'Eden that were in the garden of God, envied it.
10 “‘Nítorí náà, èyí yìí ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Nítorí pé ó ga lọ sókè fíofío, tí ó sì gbé òkè rẹ̀ ga ju ewé tí ó nípọn lọ, àti nítorí pé gíga rẹ mú kí ó gbéraga,
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because thou wast so high in stature, and it had placed its highest branch between the thick-boughed trees, and its heart was lifted up through its height:
11 mo fi lé alákòóso àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè náà lọ́wọ́, fún un láti fi ṣe ẹ̀tọ́ fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwà búburú rẹ̀. Mo pa á tì sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ kan,
Therefore do I give it up into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with it at his pleasure; for its wickedness do I drive it out.
12 àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè àjèjì aláìláàánú jùlọ ké e lulẹ̀, wọn sì fi kalẹ̀. Àwọn ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ ṣubú sórí òkè àti sí gbogbo àárín àwọn òkè; àwọn ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ tí ó ṣẹ nà sílẹ̀ ní gbogbo àlàfo jíjìn ilẹ̀. Gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè ilẹ̀ ayé jáde kúrò ní abẹ́ ìji rẹ̀ wọn sì fi sílẹ̀.
And strangers, the fiercest of nations, cut it down, and cast it to the ground: on the mountains and in all the valleys fall its light branches, and its boughs are [lying] broken in all the ravines of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone away from its shade, and have cast it to the ground.
13 Gbogbo àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run ṣe àtìpó ni orí igi tí ó ṣubú lulẹ̀ náà, gbogbo àwọn ẹranko igbó wà ní àárín ẹ̀ka rẹ̀.
Upon its fallen fragments dwell all the fowls of the heaven, and on its branches are all the beasts of the field:
14 Nítorí náà kò sí igi mìíràn lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ omi tí ó lè fi ìgbéraga ga sókè fíofío, tí yóò sì gbé sókè rẹ̀ ga ju ewé tí ó nípọn lọ. Kò sí igi mìíràn tí ó ní omi tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ó lè ga tó bẹ́ẹ̀; gbogbo wọn ni a kádàrá ikú fún, fún ìsàlẹ̀ ilẹ̀, ní àárín àwọn alààyè ènìyàn, pẹ̀lú àwọn tí o lọ sí ọ̀gbun ní ìsàlẹ̀.
In order that none of all the trees by the waters shall exalt themselves for their height, nor place their highest branch among the thick-boughed trees, and that all those that are nourished by water shall not place themselves erect, because of their height; for they are all given up unto death, to the land of the nether world, in the midst of the children of men, with those that go down to the pit.
15 “‘Èyí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Ní ọjọ́ ti a mú u wá sí isà òkú mo fi ọ̀fọ̀ ṣíṣe bo orísun omi jíjìn náà, mo dá àwọn ìṣàn omi rẹ̀ dúró, àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ omi rẹ̀ ní a dí lọ́nà. Nítorí rẹ̀ mo fi ìwúwo ọkàn wọ Lebanoni ní aṣọ, gbogbo igi igbó gbẹ dànù. (Sheol h7585)
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, On the day when it went down to the grave I caused a mourning; I covered the deep for its sake, and I restrained its rivers, and the great waters were withheld; and I caused Lebanon to be clothed in black attire for its sake, and all the trees of the field were famished because of it. (Sheol h7585)
16 Mo mú kí orílẹ̀-èdè wárìrì sì ìró ìṣubú rẹ̀ nígbà tí mo mú un wá sí ìsàlẹ̀ isà òkú pẹ̀lú àwọn tí ó lọ sí ọ̀gbun ìsàlẹ̀. Nígbà náà gbogbo igi Edeni, àṣàyàn àti èyí tí ó dára jùlọ nínú Lebanoni, gbogbo igi tí ó ní omi dáradára ni a tù nínú ni ayé ìsàlẹ̀. (Sheol h7585)
Through the noise of its downfall I caused nations to quake, when I cast it down into the tomb with the [others] that descend into the pit: and in the land of the nether world comforted themselves all the trees of 'Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that were nourished by water. (Sheol h7585)
17 Àwọn tí ó ń gbé ní abẹ́ òjìji rẹ̀, àwọn àjèjì rẹ ní àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè náà, ti lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ isà òkú pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, ní dídárapọ̀ mọ́ àwọn tí a fi idà pa. (Sheol h7585)
They also went down with it into the tomb unto those that were slain with the sword, and its helpers that had dwelt under its shade in the midst of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
18 “‘Èwo lára igi Edeni ní a lè fiwé ọ ní dídán àti ọláńlá? Síbẹ̀ ìwọ, gan an wá sílẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn igi Edeni lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ ilẹ̀; ìwọ yóò sùn ni àárín àwọn aláìkọlà, pẹ̀lú àwọn tí a fi idà pa. “‘Èyí yìí ní Farao àti ìjọ rẹ̀, ní Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.’”
To whom art thou then like in glory and in greatness among the trees of 'Eden? And thou too shalt be brought down with the trees of 'Eden unto the land of the nether world: in the midst of the uncircumcised shalt thou lie with those slain by the sword; yes, he, Pharaoh, and all his multitude, saith the Lord Eternal.
