¹It happened in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to 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, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: Whom are you like in your greatness?

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

³Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with beautiful branches, and with a forest-like shade, and of high stature; and its top was among 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 nourished it, the deep made it to grow: its rivers ran all around its plantation; and it sent out its channels to 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 its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long by reason of many waters, when it shot them 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 birds of the sky made their nests in its boughs; and under its branches all the animals of the field brought forth their young; and all great nations lived under its shadow.

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 it beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many 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 it; the fir trees were not like its boughs, and the plane trees were not as its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like it in its 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 made it beautiful by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it.

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 said the Lord Yahweh: Because you are exalted in stature, and he has set his top among 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 will even deliver 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.

¹²Strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: on the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by 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.

¹³On his ruin all the birds of the sky shall dwell, and all the animals of the field shall be on 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, neither set their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones stand up on their height, even all who drink water: for they are all delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with those who 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 says the Lord Yahweh: In the day when he went down to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained its rivers; and the great waters were stayed; and I caused Lebanon to mourn 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 Sheol is the place of the dead. with those who descend 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 to those who are slain by the sword; yes, those who were his arm, that lived 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 are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lower parts of the earth: you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord Yahweh.

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.
