< Jezekiel 31 >
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
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 Son of man, say to Pharao king of Egypt, and to his multitude; To whom have you compared yourself in your haughtiness?
O son of humankind say to Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and to multitude his whom? are you like in greatness your.
3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cypress in Libanus, and was fair in shoots, and high in stature: his top reached to the midst of the clouds.
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 The water nourished him, the depth made him grow tall; she led her rivers round about his plants, and she sent forth her streams to all the trees of the field.
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 Therefore was his stature exalted above all the trees of the field, and his branches spread far by the help of much water.
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 All the birds of the sky made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches all the wild beasts of the field bred; the whole multitude of nations lived under his shadow.
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 And he was fair in his height by reason of the multitude of his branches: for his roots were amidst much water.
And it was beautiful in greatness its in [the] length of branches its for it was root its to waters many.
8 And such cypresses [as this] were in the paradise of God; and there were no pines like his shoots, and there were no firs like his branches: no tree in the paradise of God was like him in his beauty,
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 because of the multitude of his branches: and the trees of God's paradise of delight envied him.
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 Therefore thus says the Lord; Because you are grown great, and have set your top in the midst of the clouds, and I saw when he was exalted;
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 therefore I delivered him into the hands of the prince of the nations, and he wrought his destruction.
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 And ravaging strangers from the nations have destroyed him, and have cast him down upon the mountains: his branches fell in all the valleys, and his boughs were broken in every field of the land; and all the people of the nations are gone down from their shelter, and have laid him low.
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 All the birds of the sky have settled on his fallen trunk, and all the wild beasts of the field came upon his boughs:
On fallen trunk its they dwelt every bird of the heavens and to branches its they came every animal of the field.
14 in order that none of the trees by the water should exalt themselves by reason of their size: whereas they set their top in the midst of the clouds, yet they continued not in their high state in their place, all that drank water, all were consigned to death, to the depth of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
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.
15 Thus says the Lord God; In the day wherein he went down to Hades, the deep mourned for him: and I stayed her floods, and restrained her abundance of water: and Libanus saddened for him, all the trees of the field fainted for him. (Sheol )
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 )
16 At the sound of his fall the nations quaked, when I brought him down to Hades with them that go down to the pit: and all the trees of Delight comforted him in the heart, and the choice of [plants] of Libanus, all that drink water. (Sheol )
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 )
17 For they went down to hell with him amongst the slain with the sword; and his seed, [even] they that lived under his shadow, perished in the midst of their life. (Sheol )
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 )
18 To whom are you compared? descend, and be you debased with the trees of paradise to the depth of the earth: you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword. Thus shall Pharao be, and the multitude of his host, says the Lord God.
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.
