< Ezekiel 31 >

1 Ket napasamak nga iti maikasangapulo ket maysa a tawen, iti umuna nga aldaw iti maikatlo a bulan, immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, the third month, the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “Anak ti tao, ibagam kenni Faraon nga ari ti Egipto, ken kadagiti adipenna iti aglikmutna, ‘Iti kinabilegmo, siasino ti kaiyaspingam?
Son of man, speak to Pharao king of Egypt, and to his people: To whom art thou like in thy greatness?
3 Kitaenyo! Ti Asiria ket kasla maysa a sedro iti Lebanon nga addaan kadagiti narangpaya a sanga, maysa a narukbos iti kakaykayoan, ken kasta unay ti katayagna! Ket ti tuktokna ket adda iti ngatoen dagiti sangana.
Behold, the Assyrian was like a cedar in Libanus, with fair branches, and full of leaves, of a high stature, and his top was elevated among the thick boughs.
4 Adu a danum ti nangpatayag iti daytoy; ti danum iti ubbog ti nangpadakkel iti daytoy. Nagayus dagiti karayan iti paset ti aglawlaw daytoy, ta ti panagayus dagitoy ket dimmanon kadagiti amin a kaykayo iti tay-ak.
The waters nourished him, the deep set him up on high, the streams thereof ran round about his roots, and it sent forth its rivulets to all the trees of the country.
5 Ti kinangato daytoy ket nangatngato pay ngem iti aniaman kadagiti kayo iti tay-ak, ken dagiti sanga daytoy ket nagadu unay; rimmangpaya pay dagiti sangana gapu iti nabuslon a danum bayat a dumakdakkel dagitoy.
Therefore was his height exalted above all the trees of the country: and his branches were multiplied, and his boughs were elevated because of many waters.
6 Tunggal billit iti tangatang ket nagumok kadagiti sanga daytoy, bayat a tunggal parsua nga agnanaed iti tay-ak ket naganak iti siruk dagiti narukbos a sanga daytoy. Amin dagiti adu a nasion ket nagnaed iti siruk daytoy.
And when he had spread forth his shadow, all the fowls of the air made their nests in his boughs, and all the beasts of the forest brought forth their young under his branches, and the assembly of many nations dwelt under his shadow.
7 Ta napintas unay daytoy gapu iti kinangayed ken iti kinarangpaya dagiti sanga daytoy, ta dagiti ramut ket adda iti ayan ti nabuslon a danum!
And he was most beautiful for his greatness, and for the spreading of his branches: for his root was near great waters.
8 Dagiti sedro iti minuyongan ti Dios ket saan a maiyasping iti daytoy! Awan kadagiti kayo nga igos ti maipada kadagiti sanga daytoy, ken awan kadawyan a kayo a makaasping kadagiti santakna. Awan kayo iti minuyongan ti Dios ti maipada iti kinapintas daytoy!
The cedars in the paradise of God wars not higher than he, the fir trees did not equal his top, neither were the plane trees to be compared with him for branches: no tree in the paradise of God was like him in his beauty.
9 Pinapintasko daytoy babaen kadagiti adu a sanga daytoy; ket amin dagiti kayo iti Eden nga adda iti minuyongan ti Dios ket inapalanda daytoy!
For I made him beautiful and thick set with many branches: and all the trees of pleasure, that were in the paradise of God, envied him.
10 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Gapu ta natayag unay daytoy, ken gapu ta inngatona ti tuktok ti kayona iti ngatoen dagiti sanga ken ti pusona ket naingato iti kasta unay a kangato—
Therefore thus saith the Lord God Because he was exalted in height, and shot up his top green and thick, and his heart was lifted up in his height:
11 Isu nga inyawatko isuna iti ima ti kabibilegan a mangiturturay kadagiti nasion! Nagtignay daytoy a mangiturturay iti maibusor kenkuana ket pinapanawna isuna gapu iti kinadangkesna!
I have delivered him into the hands of the mighty one of the nations, he shall deal with him: I have cast him out according to his wickedness.
12 Dagiti naranggas a ganggannaet iti amin a nasion ket pinukanda ken binaybay-anda daytoy. Natinnag dagiti sangana kadagiti bantay ken kadagiti tanap, ken dagiti babassit a sangana ket natukkol ket naregreg iti amin a waig iti daga. Ket amin dagiti nasion iti daga ket rimuar manipud iti linongna ket pinanawanda isuna.
And strangers, and the most cruel of the nations shall cut him down, and cast him away upon the mountains, and his boughs shall fall in every valley, and his branches shall be broken on every rock of the country: and all the people of the earth shall depart from his shadow, and leave him.
13 Amin dagiti billit iti tangatang ket nagbatay iti puon daytoy a kayo, ken amin dagiti atap nga ayup iti tay-ak ket nagtugaw kadagiti sanga daytoy.
All the fowls of the air dwelt upon his ruins, and all the beasts of the field were among his branches.
14 Napasamak daytoy tapno awanton ti dadduma a masibsibugan a kayo ti dumakkel iti kasta a katayag, tapno saanda nga ingato ti tuktok ti kayoda iti ngatoen dagiti sanga, ta awanton ti sabali pay a kayo a masibsibugan a dumakkel manen iti kasta a katayag. Ta naipaimada amin iti patay iti kababaan a paset ti daga, iti nagtetengngaan dagiti tattao iti sangkataoan a bimmaban iti abut.
For which cause none of the trees by the waters shall exalt themselves for their height: nor shoot up their tops among the thick branches and leaves, neither shall any of them that are watered stand up in their height: for they are all delivered unto death to the lowest parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down into the pit.
15 Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Iti aldaw a naipababa isuna iti Seol, inyegko ti panagladingit iti lubong. Ginaburak ti adalem a danum iti rabawna, ken inatianak dagiti danum iti taaw. Pinasardengko ti napigsa a panagayus dagiti danum, ken inyegko ti panagladingit iti Lebanon para kenkuana! Isu nga amin dagiti kayo iti tay-ak ket nagladingit para kenkuana. (Sheol h7585)
Thus saith the Lord God: In the day when he went down to hell, I brought in mourning, I covered him with the deep: and I withheld its rivers, and restrained the many waters: Libanus grieved for him, and all the trees of the field trembled. (Sheol h7585)
16 Inyegko ti panagkintayeg kadagiti nasion iti kanarpaak ti pannakatuangna, idi imbellengko isuna iti Seol a kaduana dagiti bimmaba iti abut! Ket liniwliwak dagiti amin a kayo iti Eden iti kababaan a paset ti lubong! Dagitoy ti kangrunaan a mapilpili ken kasasayaatan a kayo iti Lebanon, dagiti kayo a masibsibugan iti adu a danum! (Sheol h7585)
I shook the nations with the sound of his fall, when I brought him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of pleasure, the choice and best in Libanus, all that were moistened with waters, were comforted in the lowest parts of the earth. (Sheol h7585)
17 Ta bimmabada met laeng a kaduada isuna iti seol, kadagidiay a napapatay babaen iti kampilan! Dagitoy dagiti napipigsa a takiagna, dagidiay a nasion a nagnaed iti linongna. (Sheol h7585)
For they also shall go down with him to hell to them that are slain by the sword: and the arm of every one shall sit down under his shadow in the midst of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
18 Ania kadagiti kayo iti Eden ti kapadam iti dayag ken kinaindaklan? Ta maipababakanto a kaduam dagiti kayo iti Eden iti kababaan a paset ti lubong, a kaduam dagiti saan a nakugit; makipagnaedkanto kadagiti napapatay babaen iti kampilan! Daytoy ket ni Faraon ken dagiti amin nga adipenna! —kastoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh!’’’
To whom art thou like, O thou that art famous and lofty among the trees of pleasure? Behold, thou art brought down with the trees of pleasure to the lowest parts of the earth: thou shalt sleep in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword: this is Pharao, and all his multitude, saith the Lord God.
