< حِزْقِيال 31 >
وَفِي مَطْلَعِ الشَّهْرِ الثَّالِثِ الْعِبْرِيِّ (أَيْ أَيَّارَ – مَايُو) مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْحَادِيَةِ عَشْرَةَ (لِسَبْيِ الْمَلِكِ يَهُويَاكِينَ)، أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً: | ١ 1 |
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,
«يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، قُلْ لِفِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَلِشَعْبِهِ: مَنْ مَاثَلْتَ بِعَظَمَتِكَ؟ | ٢ 2 |
Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
إِنَّنِي أُشَبِّهُكَ بِشَجَرَةِ أَرْزٍ فِي لُبْنَانَ، بَهِيَّةِ الأَغْصَانِ، وَارِفَةِ الظِّلِّ، شَامِخَةٍ تُطَاوِلُ قِمَّتُهَا الْغُيُومَ، | ٣ 3 |
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.
تُرْوِيهَا الْمِيَاهُ، وَتُنَمِّيهَا اللُّجَجُ. تَجْرِي أَنْهَارُهَا حَوْلَ مَغْرَسِهَا، وَتَنْسَابُ جَدَاوِلُهَا إِلَى كُلِّ أَشْجَارِ الْحَقْلِ. | ٤ 4 |
The waters nourished him, the deep made him to grow: her rivers ran round about her plantation; and she sent out her channels unto all the trees of the field.
لِهَذَا طَاوَلَتْ قَامَتُهَا جَمِيعَ أَشْجَارِ الْحَقْلِ وَتَكَاثَرَتْ أَغْصَانُهَا، وَامْتَدَّتْ فُرُوعُهَا الَّتِي نَبَتَتْ لِغَزَارَةِ مِيَاهِهَا. | ٥ 5 |
Therefore his stature was exalted above all the trees of the field: and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long by reason of many waters, when he shot [them] forth.
وَعَشَّشَتْ فِي أَغْصَانِهَا كُلُّ طُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ، وَتَحْتَ فُرُوعِهَا وَلَدَتْ كُلُّ حَيَوَانِ الْبَرِّ، وَأَوَتْ تَحْتَ ظِلِّهَا كُلُّ أَمَمِ الأَرْضِ الْعَظِيمَةِ. | ٦ 6 |
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.
فَكَانَتْ رَائِعَةً فِي عَظَمَتِهَا وَفِي شُمُوخِ قَامَتِهَا لأَنَّ جُذُورَهَا كَانَتْ مَغْروسَةً فِي مِيَاهٍ غَزِيرَةٍ. | ٧ 7 |
Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by many waters.
لَمْ يُضَاهِهَا الأَرْزُ فِي جَنَّةِ اللهِ، وَلَمْ يُعَادِلِ السَّرْوُ أَغْصَانَهَا، وَلَمْ يُمَاثِلِ الدُّلْبُ فُرُوعَهَا. كُلُّ الأَشْجَارِ فِي جَنّةِ اللهِ لَمْ تُشْبِهْهَا فِي حُسْنِهَا. | ٨ 8 |
The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the plane trees were not as his branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like unto him in his beauty.
جَعَلْتُهَا بَهِيَّةً لِكَثْرَةِ أَغْصَانِهَا حَتَّى حَسَدَتْهَا كُلُّ أَشْجَارِ عَدْنٍ الَّتِي فِي جَنَّةِ اللهِ. | ٩ 9 |
I 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.
لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّكَ يَا فِرْعَوْنُ شَمَخْتَ بِقَامَتِكَ وَطَاوَلْتَ بِهَامَتِكَ الْغُيُومَ، تَكَبَّرَ قَلْبُكَ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ عَظَمَتِكَ. | ١٠ 10 |
Therefore thus said the Lord GOD: Because thou art exalted in stature, and he hath set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
أَسْلَمْتُكَ إِلَى يَدِ الْمُتَسَلِّطِ عَلَى الأُمَمِ فَيُعَامِلُكَ أَقْسَى مُعَامَلَةٍ. إِنِّي نَبَذْتُكَ لِفَرْطِ شَرِّكَ. | ١١ 11 |
I 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.
وَيَسْتَأْصِلُهُ الغُرَبَاءُ عُتَاةُ الأُمَمِ، وَيَتْرُكُونَهُ، فَتَتَهَاوَى أَغْصَانُهُ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ وَفِي جَمِيعِ الأَوْدِيَةِ، وَتَتَحَطَّمُ فُرُوعُهُ إِلَى جُوَارِ كُلِّ أَنْهَارِ الأَرْض، وَيَهْجُرُ ظِلَّهُ كُلُّ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ وَيَنْبِذُونَهُ. | ١٢ 12 |
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 watercourses of the land; and all the peoples of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
وَتَجْثُمُ عَلَى حُطَامِهِ طُيُورُ السَّمَاءِ جَمِيعُهَا، وَتَرْبِضُ فَوْقَ قُضْبَانِهِ كُلُّ حَيَوَانِ الْبَرِّ | ١٣ 13 |
Upon his ruin all the fowls of the heaven shall dwell, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
لِئَلّا تَشْمَخَ شَجَرَةٌ مَا مَغْرُوسَةٌ عَلَى الْمِيَاهِ لاِرْتِفَاعِ قَامَتِهَا، وَلا تُطَاوِلُ بِهَامَتِهَا الْغُيُومَ، وَلِكَيْ لَا تَبْلُغَ أَيَّةُ شَجَرَةٍ تُرْوِيهَا الْمِيَاهُ مِثْلَ هَذَا الْعُلُوِّ، لأَنَّهَا جَمِيعَهَا مَآلُهَا الْمَوْتُ، حَيْثُ تَمْضِي إِلَى الأَرْضِ السُّفْلَى بَيْنَ الْفَانِينَ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ، مَعَ الْهَابِطِينَ إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ. | ١٤ 14 |
to 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 in their height, [even] 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.
وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: وَفِي يَوْمِ هُبُوطِهِ إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ يَعُمُّ النُّوَاحُ الطَّبِيعَةَ، فَأَكْسُو الْغَمْرَ ثِيَابَ الْحِدَادِ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَكْبَحُ جَرَيَانَ أَنْهَارِهِ، وَتَكُفُّ مِيَاهُهُ عَنِ التَّدَفُّقِ وَأَجْعَلُ لُبْنَانَ يَنُوحُ عَلَيْهِ، وَتَذْبُلُ كُلُّ أَشْجَارِ الْحَقْلِ حُزْناً عَلَى هَلاكِهِ. (Sheol ) | ١٥ 15 |
Thus saith the Lord GOD: In the day when he went down to hell I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the rivers 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. (Sheol )
مِنْ جَلَبَةِ سُقُوطِهِ حِينَ أَنْزَلْتُهُ إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ مَعَ الْهَابِطِينَ إِلَيْهَا ارْتَعَدَتِ الأُمَمُ، فَتَتَعَزَّى فِي الأَرْضِ السُّفْلَى كُلُّ أَشْجَارِ عَدْنٍ وَنُخْبَةُ أَشْجَارِ لُبْنَانَ، وَكُلُّ مُرْتَوِيَةٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ. (Sheol ) | ١٦ 16 |
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, were comforted in the nether parts of the earth. (Sheol )
هُمْ أَيْضاً يَنْحَدِرُونَ مَعَهُ إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ لِيَنْضَمُّوا إِلَى قَتْلَى السَّيْفِ، وَكَذَلِكَ يَهْلِكُ حُلَفَاؤُهُ مِنَ الأُمَمِ الْمُقِيمِينَ تَحْتَ ظِلِّهِ. (Sheol ) | ١٧ 17 |
They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain by the sword; yea, they that were his arm, [that] dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the nations. (Sheol )
مَنْ مَاثَلْتَ بَيْنَ أَشْجَارِ عَدْنٍ فِي الْمَجْدِ وَالْعَظَمَةِ؟ سَتَنْحَدِرُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ السُّفْلَى مَعَ أَشْجَارِ عَدْنٍ، وَتَرْقُدُ مَعَ الْغُلْفِ، مَعَ الْمَقْتُولِينَ بِالسَّيْفِ. هَذَا هُوَ مَصِيرُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَكُلِّ شَعْبِهِ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ». | ١٨ 18 |
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.
