Ezekiel 31

Nan premye jou twazyèm mwa onzyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:

And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

-Nonm o! Pale ak farawon an, wa peyi Lejip la, ansanm ak tout pèp li a. Di yo. -Jan ou gen pouvwa sa a, Kisa mwen ta di ou sanble la a!

Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?

Bon. Ou tankou yon pye sèd nan peyi Liban avèk gwo bèl branch li yo plen fèy ki bay gwo lonbraj, yon pyebwa byen wo ak tèt li pèdi nan nwaj yo.

Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.

Lapli tonbe fè l' pouse Rivyè anba tè fè l' grandi. Gwo dlo pete nan tout rasin li yo. Yo fè kannal wouze tout pyebwa nan zòn lan.

The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.

Paske li te jwenn anpil dlo, li te grandi, li vin pi wo pase tout lòt pyebwa yo. Branch li pran fòs, yo vin byen long.

Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.

Tout kalite zwezo te vin fè nich nan branch li yo. Se anba branch li yo bèt nan bwa vin miba. Se nan lonbraj li anpil nasyon vin chita.

All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.

Se te yon bèl pyebwa byen wo, ak branch li yo byen long. Rasin li yo te desann byen fon nan dlo anba tè a.

Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.

Nan jaden Bondye a, pa t' gen pye sèd tankou l'. Okenn pye pichpen pa t' gen branch tankou pa l' yo. Okenn pye sikren pa t' gen ti branch konsa. Nan jaden Bondye a, pa t' gen bèl pyebwa tankou l'.

The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chesnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.

Mwen te fè l' byen bèl ak anpil branch. Nan jaden Edenn lan, jaden Bondye a, tout pyebwa te anvye sò l'.

I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.

Koulye a, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: Paske li te grandi byen wo a, paske tèt li te pèdi nan nwaj yo, li kite lògèy vire tèt li.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;

Se poutèt sa, mwen voye l' jete, mwen lage l' nan men gwo chèf tout nasyon yo pou fè l' peye tout mechanste l' yo.

I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.

Yon bann moun lòt nasyon vini. Mechan pase yo pa genyen. Yo koupe pyebwa a, yo lage l' atè. Ti branch li yo gaye sou tout mòn yo ak nan fon yo. Gwo branch li yo kase, yo tonbe nan tout ravin nan peyi a. Moun lòt nasyon ki t'ap viv nan lonbraj li yo, tout met deyò, yo kite l' pou kont li.

And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.

Zwezo vini poze sou rès pyebwa ki atè a. Bèt nan bwa ap mache sou tout branch li yo.

Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:

Konsa, depi jòdi a, yon pyebwa te mèt wouze byen wouze, li p'ap janm rive wotè sa a ankò. Li p'ap janm grandi pou tèt li rive pèdi nan nwaj yo ankò. Yon pyebwa te mèt byen wouze li p'ap rive wotè sa a ankò pou l'ap gonfle lestonmak li sou mwen. Tout pyebwa yo gen pou mouri tankou moun, yo gen pou yo desann al jwenn moun ki deja anba tè yo.

To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.

Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Jou pyebwa a desann nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, m'ap fè dlo anba tè a kouvri l' nèt, pou tout moun ka nan lapenn. M'ap fè dlo larivyè yo sispann koule. M' p'ap kite ankenn dlo koule nan kannal. M'ap voye yon gwo fènwa sou mòn peyi Liban yo. Tout rakbwa nan zòn lan pral deperi poutèt li.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.

Lè mwen voye l' jete nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, bri li fè lè l'ap tonbe a fè tout nasyon yo tranble. Tout pyebwa nan jaden Edenn, tout pi bèl pyebwa nan peyi Liban, pyebwa ki te byen wouze yo men ki te desann ale deja nan peyi kote mò yo ye a pral kontan tonbe li tonbe a.

I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.

Y'ap desann ansanm avè l' nan peyi kote mò yo ye a pou y' al jwenn sa ki te mouri nan lagè anvan yo. Lè sa a, tout moun ki t'ap viv nan lonbraj li yo pral gaye nan mitan tout lòt nasyon yo.

They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.

Nan tout pyebwa jaden Edenn yo, kilès ki te bèl, kilès ki te wo tankou ou? Men koulye a, tankou tout lòt pyebwa jaden an, ou pral desann ale nan peyi ki anba tè a. Ou pral jwenn moun ki pa pote mak kontra Bondye a, moun ki mouri nan lagè yo. Se sa k'ap rive farawon an ansanm ak tout pèp li a. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki pale.

To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
