Ezekiel 31
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, the third month, the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
E succedeu, no anno undecimo, no terceiro mez, ao primeiro do mez, que veiu a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
2 Son of man, speak to Pharao king of Egypt, and to his people: To whom art thou like in thy greatness?
Filho do homem, dize a Pharaó, rei do Egypto, e á sua multidão: A quem és similhante na tua grandeza?
3 Behold, the Assyrian was like a cedar in Libanus, with fair branches, and full of leaves, of a high stature, and his top was elevated among the thick boughs.
Eis que a Assyria era um cedro no Libano, de ramos formosos, sombrio de ramagem e de alta estatura, e entre os ramos espessos estava a sua copa.
4 The waters nourished him, the deep set him up on high, the streams thereof ran round about his roots, and it sent forth its rivulets to all the trees of the country.
As aguas o fizeram crescer, o abysmo o exalçou: com as suas correntes corria em torno do seu plantio, e enviava os regatos a todas as arvores do campo.
5 Therefore was his height exalted above all the trees of the country: and his branches were multiplied, and his boughs were elevated because of many waters.
Por isso se elevou a sua estatura sobre todas as arvores do campo, e se multiplicaram os seus ramos, e se alongaram as suas varas, por causa das muitas aguas que enviava.
6 And when he had spread forth his shadow, all the fowls of the air made their nests in his boughs, and all the beasts of the forest brought forth their young under his branches, and the assembly of many nations dwelt under his shadow.
Todas as aves do céu se aninhavam nos seus ramos, e todos os animaes do campo geravam debaixo dos seus ramos, e todos os grandes povos se assentavam á sua sombra.
7 And he was most beautiful for his greatness, and for the spreading of his branches: for his root was near great waters.
Assim era elle formoso na sua grandeza, na extensão dos seus ramos, porque a sua raiz estava junto ás muitas aguas.
8 The cedars in the paradise of God wars not higher than he, the fir trees did not equal his top, neither were the plane trees to be compared with him for branches: no tree in the paradise of God was like him in his beauty.
Os cedros não o escureciam no jardim de Deus; as faias não egualavam os seus ramos, e os castanheiros não eram como os seus renovos: nenhuma arvore no jardim de Deus se assimilhou a elle na sua formosura.
9 For I made him beautiful and thick set with many branches: and all the trees of pleasure, that were in the paradise of God, envied him.
Formoso o fiz com a multidão dos seus ramos; e todas as arvores do Eden, que estavam no jardim de Deus, tiveram inveja d'elle.
10 Therefore thus saith the Lord God Because he was exalted in height, and shot up his top green and thick, and his heart was lifted up in his height:
Portanto assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Porquanto te elevaste na tua estatura, e se levantou a sua copa no meio dos espessos ramos, e o seu coração se exalçou na sua altura,
11 I have delivered him into the hands of the mighty one of the nations, he shall deal with him: I have cast him out according to his wickedness.
Portanto o entreguei na mão da mais poderosa das nações, para que o tratasse com o tratamento merecido; pela sua impiedade o lançarei fóra.
12 And strangers, and the most cruel of the nations shall cut him down, and cast him away upon the mountains, and his boughs shall fall in every valley, and his branches shall be broken on every rock of the country: and all the people of the earth shall depart from his shadow, and leave him.
E uns estranhos o exterminaram, os mais formidaveis das nações, e o deixaram: cairam os seus ramos sobre os montes e por todos os valles, e os seus renovos foram quebrados por todas as correntes da terra; e todos os povos da terra se retiraram da sua sombra, e o deixaram.
13 All the fowls of the air dwelt upon his ruins, and all the beasts of the field were among his branches.
Todas as aves do céu habitavam sobre a sua ruina, e todos os animaes do campo se acolheram sob os seus renovos;
14 For which cause none of the trees by the waters shall exalt themselves for their height: nor shoot up their tops among the thick branches and leaves, neither shall any of them that are watered stand up in their height: for they are all delivered unto death to the lowest parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down into the pit.
Para que todas as arvores das aguas não se elevem na sua estatura, nem levantem a sua copa no meio dos ramos espessos, nem todas as que bebem as aguas venham a confiar em si, por causa da sua altura; porque já todos estão entregues á morte, até á terra mais baixa, no meio dos filhos dos homens, com os que descem á cova.
15 Thus saith the Lord God: In the day when he went down to hell, I brought in mourning, I covered him with the deep: and I withheld its rivers, and restrained the many waters: Libanus grieved for him, and all the trees of the field trembled. (Sheol h7585)
Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: No dia em que elle desceu ao inferno, fiz eu que houvesse luto; fiz cobrir o abysmo, por sua causa, e retive as suas correntes, e se cohibiram; e cobri o Libano de preto por causa d'elle, e todas as arvores do campo por causa d'elle desfalleceram. (Sheol h7585)
16 I shook the nations with the sound of his fall, when I brought him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of pleasure, the choice and best in Libanus, all that were moistened with waters, were comforted in the lowest parts of the earth. (Sheol h7585)
Ao som da sua queda fiz tremer as nações, quando o fiz descer ao inferno com os que descem á cova; e todas as arvores do Eden, a flor e o melhor do Libano, todas as arvores que bebem aguas, se consolavam na terra mais baixa. (Sheol h7585)
17 For they also shall go down with him to hell to them that are slain by the sword: and the arm of every one shall sit down under his shadow in the midst of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
Tambem estes com elles descerão ao inferno, aos que foram traspassados á espada, e os que foram seu braço, e que estavam assentados á sombra no meio das nações. (Sheol h7585)
18 To whom art thou like, O thou that art famous and lofty among the trees of pleasure? Behold, thou art brought down with the trees of pleasure to the lowest parts of the earth: thou shalt sleep in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword: this is Pharao, and all his multitude, saith the Lord God.
A quem pois és assim similhante em gloria e em grandeza entre as arvores do Eden? antes serás derribado com as arvores do Eden á terra mais baixa; no meio dos incircumcisos jazerás com os que foram traspassados á espada: este é Pharaó e toda a sua multidão, diz o Senhor Jehovah
