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:
El primer día del mes tercero del año décimo primero aconteció que la Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
2 Son of man, speak to Pharao king of Egypt, and to his people: To whom art thou like in thy greatness?
Hijo de hombre, dí a Faraón, rey de Egipto, y a su pueblo: ¿A quién te comparas en tu 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.
Ciertamente como Asiria, a un cedro del Líbano de hermosas ramas, frondoso ramaje y gran altura, cuya copa está entre las nubes.
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.
Las aguas le dieron crecimiento. El abismo lo enalteció. Envió corrientes alrededor de su huerto. A todos los árboles del campo envió sus corrientes.
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 eso su altura fue más elevada que todos los árboles del campo. Se multiplicaron sus ramas a causa de las muchas aguas y extendió el ramaje que echó.
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 las aves del cielo anidaron en sus ramas y parían todas las bestias del campo debajo de su ramaje. Muchas naciones habitaban a su sombra.
7 And he was most beautiful for his greatness, and for the spreading of his branches: for his root was near great waters.
Así que era bello en su grandeza por la extensión de sus ramas, porque sus raíces se extendían a muchas 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.
Los cedros del huerto de ʼElohim no lo igualaron en su ramaje. Ningún árbol en el huerto de ʼElohim era semejante a él en hermosura.
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.
Lo hice hermoso por la multitud de sus ramas. Lo envidiaban todos los árboles del Edén en el huerto de ʼElohim.
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:
Por tanto ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Por cuanto se elevó en estatura, levantó su copa hasta las nubes y su corazón se enalteció por su 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.
lo entregaré en mano del poderoso de las naciones, quien ciertamente lo tratará según su maldad. Yo lo deseché.
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.
Los extranjeros, los más terribles de las naciones, lo talaron y lo abandonaron. Sus ramas caen sobre las montañas y por todos los valles. Su ramaje será quebrado por todos los arroyos de la tierra. Se van de su sombra todos los pueblos de la tierra y lo abandonan.
13 All the fowls of the air dwelt upon his ruins, and all the beasts of the field were among his branches.
Habitarán todas las aves de los cielos sobre su tronco caído, y todas las bestias del campo estarán entre sus ramas.
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.
De modo que ninguno de los árboles que están junto a las aguas se exalte por su altura, ni eleve su copa entre las nubes, ni confíe en su estatura, ninguno de los que son regados por las aguas. Porque todos están destinados a la muerte, a lo profundo de la tierra, entre los hijos de los hombres que bajan a la fosa.
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)
ʼAdonay Yavé dice: El día cuando baje al Seol promoveré el luto por él en el abismo. Detendré sus ríos, y las muchas aguas serán detenidas. Por él cubriré el Líbano de oscuridad, y todos los árboles del campo se desmayarán. (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)
Produciré temblor en las naciones con el estruendo de su caída, cuando lo eche al Seol con todos los que bajan a la fosa. Entonces todos los árboles bien regados del Edén y los mejores del Líbano, los más selectos y mejores del Líbano que beben aguas, serán fortalecidos en lo profundo de la tierra. (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)
Ellos también bajarán al Seol con él, con los asesinados a espada y los que fueron su fortaleza y vivieron bajo su sombra entre las naciones. (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 cuál entre los árboles del Edén te comparaste en gloria y grandeza? Pero serás derribado a tierra con los árboles del Edén. Estarás en medio de los incircuncisos, con los asesinados a espada. Así es Faraón y toda su multitud, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
