Ezekiel 31
1 Now in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
In pripetilo se je v enajstem letu, v tretjem mesecu, na prvi dan meseca, da je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
2 Son of man, say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to his people; Whom are you like in your great power?
»Človeški sin, spregovori faraonu, egiptovskemu kralju in njegovi množici: ›Komu si podoben v svoji veličini?
3 See, a pine-tree with beautiful branches and thick growth, giving shade and very tall; and its top was among the clouds.
Glej, Asirec je bil cedra na Libanonu, z lepimi mladikami in s senčnato kopreno in visoke rasti; in njegov vrh je bil med debelimi vejami.
4 It got strength from the waters and the deep made it tall: its streams went round about its planted land and it sent out its waterways to all the trees of the field.
Vode so ga naredile velikega, globina ga je s svojimi rekami, ki tečejo naokoli njegovih rastlin, postavila gor na višavo in pošiljala ven svoje majhne reke do vseh poljskih dreves.
5 In this way it became taller than all the trees of the field; and its branches were increased and its arms became long because of the great waters.
Zatorej je bila njegova višina povišana nad vsa poljska drevesa in njegove veje so bile pomnožene in njegove mladike so postale dolge zaradi obilice voda, ko je poganjal.
6 In its branches all the birds of heaven came to rest, and under its arms all the beasts of the field gave birth to their young, and great nations were living in its shade.
Vsa perjad neba je naredila svoja gnezda v njegovih vejah in pod njegovimi mladikami so vse živali polja kotile svoje mlade in pod njegovo senco so prebivali vsi veliki narodi.
7 So it was beautiful, being so tall and its branches so long, for its root was by great waters.
Tako je bil lep v svoji veličini, v dolžini svojih mladik, kajti njegova korenina je bila ob velikih vodah.
8 No cedars were equal to it in the garden of God; the fir-trees were not like its branches, and plane-trees were as nothing in comparison with its arms; no tree in the garden of God was so beautiful.
Cedre v Božjem vrtu ga niso mogle skriti. Ciprese niso bile podobne njegovim vejam in kostanjeva drevesa niso bila podobna njegovim mladikam; niti katerokoli drevo v Božjem vrtu ni bilo podobno njemu v njegovi lepoti.
9 I made it beautiful with its mass of branches: so that all the trees in the garden of God were full of envy of it.
Naredil sem ga lepega z množico njegovih mladik, tako da so mu vsa edenska drevesa, ki so bila v Božjem vrtu, zavidala.‹
10 For this cause the Lord has said: Because he is tall, and has put his top among the clouds, and his heart is full of pride because he is so high,
Zato tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Ker si se povzdigoval na višino in je svoj vrh poganjal med debelimi vejami in je njegovo srce povzdignjeno na njegovo višino;
11 I have given him up into the hands of a strong one of the nations; he will certainly give him the reward of his sin, driving him out.
zato sem ga izročil v roko mogočnega izmed poganov; zagotovo bo obračunal z njim. Ven sem ga izgnal zaradi njegove zlobnosti.
12 And men from strange lands, who are to be feared among the nations, after cutting him off, have let him be: on the mountains and in all the valleys his branches have come down; his arms are broken by all the waterways of the land; all the peoples of the earth have gone from his shade, and have let him be.
In tujci, strašni izmed narodov, so ga odrezali in ga zapustili. Po gorah in po vseh dolinah so padle njegove mladike in njegove veje so zlomljene ob vseh rekah dežele; in vsa ljudstva zemlje so šla dol iz njegove sence in ga zapustila.
13 All the birds of heaven have come to rest on his broken stem where it is stretched on the earth, and all the beasts of the field will be on his branches:
Na njegovem uničenju bo ostala vsa perjad neba in vse živali polja bodo na njegovih mladikah,
14 In order that no trees by the waters may be lifted up in their growth, putting their tops among the clouds; and that no trees which are watered may take their place on high: for they are all given up to death, to the lowest parts of the earth among the children of men, with those who go down to the underworld.
z namenom, da se nobeno izmed vseh dreves ob vodah ne bo povzdigovalo zaradi svoje višine niti svojega vrha poganjalo med debele veje niti ne bodo njihova drevesa stala na njihovi višini, vsa, ki pijejo vodo, kajti vsa so izročena smrti, k spodnjim delom zemlje, v sredo človeških otrok, s tistimi, ki gredo dol k jami.‹
15 This is what the Lord has said: The day when he goes down to the underworld, I will make the deep full of grief for him; I will keep back her streams and the great waters will be stopped: I will make Lebanon dark for him, and all the trees of the field will be feeble because of him. (Sheol h7585)
Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Na dan, ko je šel dol do groba, sem povzročil žalovanje. Zanj sem pokril globino in omejil njegove tokove in velike vode so bile ustavljene. Libanonu sem storil, da je žaloval za njim in vsa poljska drevesa so medlela zaradi njega. (Sheol h7585)
16 I will send shaking on the nations at the sound of his fall, when I send him down to the underworld with those who go down into the deep: and on earth they will be comforting themselves, all the trees of Eden, the best of Lebanon, even all the watered ones. (Sheol h7585)
Narodom sem storil, da se tresejo ob zvoku njegovega padca, ko sem ga vrgel dol do pekla, s tistimi, ki se spuščajo v jamo in vsa edenska drevesa, izbrana in najboljša iz Libanona, vsa, ki pijejo vodo, bodo potolažena v spodnjih delih zemlje. (Sheol h7585)
17 And they will go down with him to the underworld, to those who have been put to the sword; even those who were his helpers, living under his shade among the nations (Sheol h7585)
Tudi oni so z njim odšli dol v pekel, k tistim, ki so umorjeni z mečem; in tisti, ki so bili njegov laket, ki so prebivali pod njegovo senco v sredi narodov. (Sheol h7585)
18 Whom then are you like? for you will be sent down with the trees of Eden into the lowest parts of the earth: there you will be stretched out among those without circumcision, with those who were put to the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his people, says the Lord.
Komu si ti tako podoben v slavi in v veličini med edenskimi drevesi? Vendar boš z edenskimi drevesi priveden dol v spodnje dele zemlje. Ležal boš v sredi neobrezancev, s tistimi, ki so umorjeni z mečem. To je faraon in vsa njegova množica, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.‹«
