以西結書 31
1 十一年三月一日，上主的話傳給我說：「
And it was in one [plus] ten year in the third [month] on [day] one of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 人子，你要向埃及王法郎和他的民眾說：你的偉大相似誰呢﹖
O son of humankind say to Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and to multitude his whom? are you like in greatness your.
3 看，你是一棵黎巴嫩香柏，枝葉美觀，蔭影濃密，枝幹高大，樹梢插入雲霄。
There! Assyria [was] a cedar in Lebanon beautiful of branch[es] and forest giving shade and tall of height and between branches it was treetop its.
4 水使它長大，淵泉使它長高；河水由四周流入栽植它之地，支流灌溉田中其他的樹木。
Waters they made grow it [the] deep it raised up it rivers its going around planting place its and channels its it sent out to all [the] trees of the field.
5 為此它的枝幹高過田間的一切樹木，因為水多，生長時枝業繁茂，枝條特長。
There-fore it was tall height its more than all [the] trees of the field and they became great boughs its and they became long (branches its *Q(K)*) from waters many when sent out it.
6 天上的一切飛鳥在它枝幹上築巢，田間的野獸在他的枝葉下生子，各國的人民住在它的蔭影下。
In boughs its they made nests every bird of the heavens and under branches its they gave birth every animal of the field and in shade its they dwelt all nations great.
7 它的枝葉廣闊，高大華麗，因為它的根深入多水之地。
And it was beautiful in greatness its in [the] length of branches its for it was root its to waters many.
8 天主樂園中的香柏，都不能同它相比，扁柏不及它的枝幹，楓樹不及它的枝椏，天主樂園中所有的樹木都沒有它那樣美麗。
Cedars not they eclipsed it in [the] garden of God fir trees not they were like boughs its and plane trees not they were like branches its every tree in [the] garden of God not it was like it in beauty its.
9 我使它枝葉茂盛而美麗，致令「伊甸」──天主樂園──中所有的樹木都嫉妒它。
Beautiful I made it in [the] abundance of branches its and they envied it all [the] trees of Eden which [were] in [the] garden of God.
10 因此吾主上主這樣說：因它枝幹高大，枝梢插入雲霄，遂因自己高大而心高氣傲。
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because that you were tall in height and it set treetop its to between branches and it was lifted up heart its in height its.
11 我必將它交在列國最強的人手中，他們要任意對待它；我必要因它的罪行而將它剷除；
And I will give it in [the] hand of a leader of nations certainly he will do to it according to wickedness its I drove out it.
12 列國最兇殘的人必要將它伐倒，把它拋棄在山上；它的枝椏，倒臥在山谷中，枝條折落在一切窪地上；萬國的人民都要離開它的蔭影，而棄捨它；
And they cut down it strangers ruthless [ones] of nations and they abandoned it to the mountains and in all [the] valleys they fell branches its and they were broken branches its in all [the] ravines of the land and they went down from shade its all [the] peoples of the earth and they abandoned it.
13 天上飛鳥都棲在它倒了的枝幹上，田間的各種野獸都停在它的枝條下，
On fallen trunk its they dwelt every bird of the heavens and to branches its they came every animal of the field.
14 這是為使一切有水滋潤的樹木，不要因自己的軀幹高大而自負，不要再讓枝梢插入雲霄，免得各種有水滋潤的樹木，因高聳而自大，因為他們都要歸於死亡，降到陰間，到那些已降入深淵的人子中。 (questioned)
So that that not they may be lifted up in height their any trees of water and not they may set treetop their to between branches and not they may stand leaders their by height their any drinkers of water for all of them they have been given to death to [the] earth lowest in among [the] children of humankind to [those who] go down of [the] pit.
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh on [the] day went down it Sheol towards I caused mourning I covered over it [the] deep and I withheld rivers its and they were restrained waters many and I made mourn on it Lebanon and all [the] trees of the field on it [were] wilted. (Sheol h7585)
From [the] sound of downfall its I caused to tremble nations when brought down I it Sheol towards with [those who] go down of [the] pit and they were comforted in [the] earth lowest all [the] trees of Eden [the] choicest and [the] good of Lebanon all drinkers of water. (Sheol h7585)
Also they with it they went down Sheol towards to [those] slain of a sword and arm its [which] they dwelt in shade its in among [the] nations. (Sheol h7585)
18 伊甸」的樹木中，就華麗和高大說，你相似那一棵﹖你也要同「伊甸」的樹木一起被推入陰間，在未受割損的人中，同喪身刀下的人臥在一起：這是指法郎和他所有的人民說的──吾主上主的斷語。」 (questioned)
Whom? are you like thus in splendor and in greatness among [the] trees of Eden and you will be brought down with [the] trees of Eden to [the] earth lowest in among uncircumcised [men] you will lie with [those] slain of a sword that [is] Pharaoh and all (multitude his *Q(K)*) [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
