¹And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third [month], on the first of the month, [that] the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

¹ I go no, jiiri way cindi fa ra, a handu hinzanta zaari sintina, kala Rabbi sanno kaa ay do ka ne:

²Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: Whom art thou like in thy greatness?

² Boro izo, ma ne Misira bonkoono Firawna nda nga jama marga se: Ni ya may wadde no, ni beera do haray?

³Behold, Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon, with fair branches and a shadowing shroud, and of a high stature: and his top was amidst the thick boughs.

³ A go, Assiriya ya sedre* no Liban ra da kambe hannoyaŋ kaŋ gonda bi. A ga ku, kal a boŋo koy ka to hala burey ra.

⁴The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high; its streams ran round about his plantation, and it sent out its rivulets unto all the trees of the field.

⁴ Hari no k'a kuru, laabo cire haro naŋ a ma ku, A goorey n'a tilamyaŋ do kulu windi, A hari laawaley mo koy saajo tuurey kulu do.

⁵Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long, because of great waters, when he shot forth.

⁵ A se no a ku da saajo tuurey kulu. A kambey baa gumo, I ku, i zay mo hari booba sabbay se.

⁶All the fowl of the heavens 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 the great nations.

⁶ Beene curayzey kulu na ngey fitiyaŋ te a kambey boŋ, Ganji hamey kulu na ngey izey hay a kambey cire, Ndunnya dumi beerey mo goro a biyo ra.

⁷Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: because his root was by great waters.

⁷ Yaadin cine no a ciya ihanno nga beera da nga kambe kuuyaŋo do, Zama a kaajey to hari boobo gaa.

⁸The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him; the cypresses were not like his boughs, and the plane-trees were not as his branches: no tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.

⁸ Sedrey kaŋ go Irikoy kalo ra si kar a gaa, Sipres tuurey mana to a kambey beera cine, Plantan tuurey mo mana to a kambe kayney beera gaa. Tuuri fo mo si no Irikoy kalo ra kaŋ i ga kar a booriyaŋo gaa.

⁹I had made him fair by the multitude of his branches; and all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.

⁹ Ay no k'a ciya ihanno, Za kaŋ ay n'a no kambe boobo, Hala tuurey kulu kaŋ go Eden, Irikoy kalo ra, i canse a gaa.

¹⁰Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast lifted up thyself in stature, ... and he hath set his top amidst the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height,

¹⁰ Woodin se binde, yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Za kaŋ a beeri nga kuuyaŋ gaa, a na nga boŋ salle hala beene burey gaa, a bina mo beeri a kuuyaŋo sabbay se,

¹¹I have given him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.

¹¹ ay mo, kal ay m'a daŋ dumi cindey koy fo kambe ra. Nga mo, daahir a ga goy Assiriya gaa a laala hina me. Ay n'a gaaray no.

¹²And 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 in all the watercourses of the land; and all the peoples of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.

¹² Ndunnya dumey ra yawyaŋ kaŋ ga humburandi, i n'a beeri ka zeeri ka fay d'a mo. Tondi kuukey boŋ da goorey kulu ra no a kambey kaŋ. A kambe kayney mo, i kulu ceeri-ceeri hari zuray kulu me gaa yaŋ. Ndunnya dumey kulu mo tun ka fun a biyo ra k'a naŋ.

¹³Upon his fallen [trunk] do all the fowl of the heavens dwell, and all the beasts of the field are upon his branches:

¹³ A kurmey boŋ no beene curey kulu ga goro, ganji hamey kulu mo ga kani a kambey boŋ.

¹⁴to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, nor set their top amidst the thick boughs, and that none of them that drink water stand up in his height by himself; for they are all given over unto death in the lower parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.

¹⁴ I na woodin te no zama hari me gaa tuurey kulu ma si ngey boŋ beerandi ngey kuuyaŋo sabbay se. I ma si ngey boŋ salle mo ka to beene burey gaa haray. I hinkoyey mo kaŋ ga hari haŋ, i kulu ma si tun ka kay ka ngey kuuyaŋo cabe. Zama i kulu, i n'i nooyandi buuyaŋ se, yongo ndunnya se ganda nangey ra yaŋ, borey izey game ra, ngey da borey kaŋ yaŋ ga zulli ka koy guuso ra care banda.

¹⁵Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when he went down to Sheol, I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed; and I made Lebanon black for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.

¹⁵ Yaa no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci: Hano din kaŋ hane a zulli ka koy Alaahara din, ay naŋ i ma bu baray te han din. Ay na guusuyaŋey daabu a boŋ, ay kaseeti a isey gaa, hari boobey mo kay. Ay daŋ Liban ma bu baray te a sabbay se, saajo tuurey kulu mo lakaw a sabbay se.

¹⁶I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol, with them that go down into the pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the lower parts of the earth.

¹⁶ Ay naŋ ndunnya dumey ma jijiri a kaŋyaŋo yooja maayaŋ se, waato kaŋ cine ay n'a tuti ka kond'a Alaahara, ngey kaŋ ga zulli ka koy guuso ra yaŋ banda. Eden tuurey, hari hankoy kulu, da Liban wane suubanantey kaŋ boori nda i kulu, i du kunfayaŋ ndunnya se ganda nangey ra.

¹⁷They also went down into Sheol with him unto them that were slain with the sword, and [that were] his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the nations.

¹⁷ Ngey mo, i zumbu Alaahara ra a banda, ngey kaŋ yaŋ takuba wi din do. Oho, ngey kaŋ ciya a kambey, sanda a biyo ra gorokoy nooya dumi cindey ra.

¹⁸To 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 lower parts of the earth; thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁸ May no ga ti ni wadde binde darza nda beeray cine ra Eden tuurey ra? Kulu nda yaadin, i ga ni zumandi hala ndunnya se ganda nangey ra, Eden tuurey banda. Ngey kaŋ yaŋ sinda dambanguyaŋ, i bindo ra no ni ga kani, da ngey kaŋ yaŋ takuba wi din banda mo. Firawna nda nga jama kulu nooya, yaadin no Rabbi, Koy Beero ci.
