Ezekiel 31

1 Saning hathlaito, khrah thumto haih ni tangsuek naah, Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,

Then it came about in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

2 kami capa, Izip siangpahrang Faro hoi angmah ih kaminawk khaeah hae tiah thui paeh; na lensawkhaih loe mi hoiah maw anghmong?

“Son of man, say to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and to his multitudes around him, 'In your greatness, who are you like?

3 Khenah, Assyria loe tanghang kahoih, aqam kasai, akung kasang, ranui koek ah tadok kacawn Lebanon sidar thing ah oh.

Behold! Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon with beautiful branches, giving shade to the forest, and the tallest in height, and the branches formed its treetop.

4 Tui mah anih to qoengsak tahang moe, kathuk tui mah anih to sangsak tahang, vapuinawk loe anih patit ih akungnawk taengah longh o moe, azawn ah thling ih thingkungnawk boih khaeah vapui tui to a longsak.

Many waters made it tall; the deep waters made it huge. Rivers flowed all around its area, for their channels stretched out to all the trees in the field.

5 To pongah anih loe azawn ah thling ih thingnawk boih pong kasang koek ah oh; tui to pop pongah tanghangnawk to sang o moe, tadoknawk doeh cawnh o.

Its great height was more than any of the other trees in the field, and its branches became very many; its branches grew long because of many waters as they grew.

6 Van ih tavaanawk loe anih ih tahangnawk pongah tabu boh o boih, azawn ah kaom moinawk loe anih ih tanghangnawk tlim ah caasak o boih, kalen parai praenawk loe anih tahlip tlim ah oh o boih.

Every bird of the heavens nested in its branches, while every living thing of the field gave birth to its young under its foliage. All of the many nations lived under its shade.

7 Anih loe tui pophaih ahmuen ah tangzun sak pongah, tanghangnawk to sang o tahang moe, kranghoihaih hoi lensawkhaih hoiah akoep.

For it was beautiful in its greatness and the length of its branches, for its roots were in many waters.

8 Sithaw takha thung ih Sidar thingnawk mah anih to vingh thai ai; hmaica thingnawk mah doeh anih ih tanghangnawk to pha ai, cypress thingnawk mah doeh tanghangnawk to pha thai ai, Sithaw takha thung ih kawbaktih thingnawk mah doeh a kranghoihaih to pha o thai ai.

Cedars in the garden of God could not equal it. None among the cypress trees matched its branches, and the plane tree could not equal its boughs. There was no other tree in the garden of God that was like it in its beauty.

9 Sithaw takha thungah kaom, Eden thingnawk boih mah, anih to ut o hanah, tanghang popsak moe, krang ka hoihsak.

I made it beautiful with its many branches and all the trees of Eden that were in the garden of God envied it.

10 To pongah Angraeng Sithaw mah, Kasang parai ah na qoeng tahang, thingnawk boih nuiah tadok na cawnh, anih mah a sanghaih to amoek haih pongah, poekhaih palungthin to sang;

Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: Because it was tall in height, and it set its treetop between its branches, it lifted up its heart because of its height.

11 anih to Sithaw panoek ai thacak kaminawk khaeah ka paek boeh; a sethaih baktiah to kami mah anih nuiah sah tih; a sethaih pongah anih to ka haek boeh.

I have given it into the hand of a mighty one of the nations, to deal with it according to what its wickedness deserves. I have thrown it out.

12 Tahmenhaih tawn ai kalah prae kaminawk mah anih to hum moe, caeh o taak; anih ih tanghangnawk loe mae nui hoiah tahawt thungah krak moe, anih ih tadoknawk doeh prae thung ih vapuinawk mah angkhaehsak boih boeh; long kaminawk boih anih tahlip tlim hoiah tacawt o moe, anih to caeh o taak boeh.

Foreigners who were the terror of all the nations cut it off and left it to die. Its branches fell on the mountains and all the valleys, and its boughs lay broken in all the ravines of the land. Then all the nations on earth came out from under its shade and they went away from it.

13 Van ih tavaanawk hoi moi kasannawk boih loe anih ih angkhaek tanghangnawk nuiah oh o.

All the birds of the sky rested on the trunk of the fallen tree, and every animal of the field came to its branches.

14 To pongah tui taengah kaom thingnawk boih thungah a sanghaih pongah amoek han ai, tanghangnawk ranuiah tadok cawnh pongah amoek han ai, tui kanae thingkungnawk boih thungah a sanghaih kam oek haih thingah oh han ai ah, to thingkungnawk duek o boih hanah, tangqom thungah caeh tathuk kaminawk hoi nawnto long thungah ka pakhrak tathuk boeh, tiah thuih.

This happened so that no other trees that grow by the waters will lift up their foliage to the height of the tallest trees, and that no other trees that grow beside the waters will reach up to that height. All of them have been assigned to death, to the earth below, among the children of humanity, with those that go down to the pit.

15 Angraeng Sithaw mah, Anih taprong thungah caeh tathuk naah palung ka boengsak; anih hanah kathuk tui to ka khuk pae, tui to ka khah pae khoep moe, kalen parai tuinawk to kang haksak; anih hanah Lebanon palung ka setsak, anih pongah taw ih thingnawk to ka zaisak boih. (Sheol h7585)

The Lord Yahweh says this: On the day when the cedar went down to Sheol I brought mourning to the earth. I covered the deep waters over it, and I held back the ocean waters. I kept back the great waters, and I brought mourning to Lebanon for him. So all the trees of the field mourned because of it. (Sheol h7585)

16 Anih to tangqom thungah caeh tathuk kaminawk hoi nawnto hell thungah ka vah naah, anih pakhrakhaih atuen mah prae kaminawk boih ka tasoehsak; to naah Eden ih thingnawk boih, kahoih koek qoih ih Lebanon thingnawk hoi tui kanae thingnawk boih long thungah kamong ah oh o. (Sheol h7585)

I brought shuddering to the nations at the sound of its downfall, when I threw it down to Sheol with those who went down into the pit. So I comforted all the trees of Eden in the lowest parts of the earth. These had been the choicest and best trees of Lebanon; the trees that drank the waters. (Sheol h7585)

17 Anih ih bantha cakhaih ah kaom, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk, anih ih tahlip tlim ah kaom kaminawk loe, sumsen hoi hum ih kaminawk caehhaih ahmuen, hell thungah anih hoi nawnto caeh o tathuk. (Sheol h7585)

For they also went down with it to Sheol, to the ones who had been killed by the sword. These were its strong arm, those nations who had lived in its shade. (Sheol h7585)

18 Na lensawkhaih loe Eden ih thing kawbaktih hoiah maw patah thai tih? Toe nang loe Eden ih thingnawk hoi nawnto long thungah na caeh tathuk tih; nang loe sumsen hoi hum ih kaminawk hoi nawnto tangyat hin aat ai kaminawk salakah nang song tih. Hae loe Faro hoi anih ih kaminawk boih thuih koehhaih ih ni, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.

Which of the trees in Eden was your equal in glory and greatness? For you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lowest parts of the earth among the uncircumcised; you will live with those who were killed by the sword.' This is Pharaoh and all of his multitudes—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
