Ezekiel 31
1 And in the eleuenth yeere, in the third moneth, and in the first day of the moneth the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Jedanaeste godine, trećega mjeseca, prvoga dana, dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
2 Sonne of man, speake vnto Pharaoh King of Egypt, and to his multitude, Whom art thou like in thy greatnesse?
“Sine čovječji, kaži faraonu, kralju egipatskom, i mnoštvu njegovu: 'Na koga naličiš veličinom svojom?
3 Beholde, Asshur was like a cedar in Lebanon with faire branches, and with thicke shadowing boughes, and shot vp very hye, and his toppe was among the thicke boughes.
Usporedit ću te, evo, s cedrom libanonskim, lijepih grana, gusta lišća i debla visoka: vrh mu do oblaka seže.
4 The waters nourished him, and the deepe exalted him on hie with her riuers running round about his plants, and sent out her litle riuers vnto all the trees of the fielde.
Voda ga othrani i uzvisi bezdan; rijekama mu svojim nasad oblijevaše, rukave svoje slaše k svem drveću poljskom.
5 Therefore his height was exalted aboue all the trees of the fielde, and his boughes were multiplied, and his branches were long, because of the multitude of the waters, which the deepe sent out.
I zato rastom on nadvisi sve poljsko drveće. Grane mu se namnožiše, hvoje mu se razgranaše od obilne vode što mu dotjecaše;
6 All the foules of the heauen made their nestes in his boughes, and vnder his branches did all the beastes of the fielde bring foorth their yong, and vnder his shadowe dwelt all mightie nations.
ptice mu nebeske na granama gnijezda savijahu. Ispod hvoja njegovih legoše se divlje zvijeri. A u hladu njegovu svi veliki narodi sjeđahu.
7 Thus was he faire in his greatnesse, and in the length of his branches: for his roote was neere great waters.
Lijep on bijaše veličinom i širinom svojih grana; do dubokih voda žilje mu sezaše!
8 The cedars in the garden of God coulde not hide him: no firre tree was like his branches, and the chessenut trees were not like his boughes: all the trees in the garden of God were not like vnto him in his beautie.
Ne bijahu mu ravni ni cedrovi u vrtu Božjem, ni čempresi se ne mogahu usporediti s granama njegovim, a platane ni kao hvoje njegove ne bijahu! Nijedno stablo u vrtu Božjem ne bješe mu po ljepoti ravno.
9 I made him faire by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, enuied him.
Ukrasih ga mnoštvom grana, i zaviđaše mu sve edensko drveće u vrtu Božjem.'
10 Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Because he is lift vp on high, and hath shot vp his toppe among the thicke boughes, and his heart is lift vp in his height,
Stoga ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Jer se s rasta uzoholio što mu vrh do oblaka sezaše i srce mu visina zanese,
11 I haue therefore deliuered him into the handes of the mightiest among the heathen: he shall handle him, for I haue cast him away for his wickednesse.
predadoh ga u ruke najmoćnijemu od svih naroda da učini s njime po zloći njegovoj, i odbacih ga.
12 And the strangers haue destroyed him, euen the terrible nations, and they haue left him vpon the mountaines, and in all the valleis his branches are fallen, and his boughes are broken by all the riuers of the land: and all the people of the earth are departed from his shadowe, and haue forsaken him.
Tuđinci, najokrutniji od naroda, posjekoše ga i oboriše, grane mu padahu po gorama i svim dolinama, hvoje mu se po svim uvalama polomiše, svi se narodi zemlje od njegova hlada udaljiše, ostaviše ga!
13 Vpon his ruine shall all the foules of the heauen remaine, and all the beastes of the fielde shall be vpon his branches,
Na njegovo oboreno stablo sve ptice nebeske sletješe! Među njegovim se granama sve divlje zvijeri nastaniše!
14 So that none of all the trees by the waters shalbe exalted by their height, neither shall shoote vp their toppe among the thicke boughes, neither shall their leaues stand vp in their height, which drinke so much water: for they are all deliuered vnto death in the nether partes of the earth in the middes of the children of men among them that goe downe to the pit.
Da se rastom svojim nijedno stablo pokraj vode više ne uzvisi i da vrh svoj među oblake ne uzdigne! I da se nijedno stablo koje pije vode u visinu svoju ne uzdaje! Jer su svi predani smrti, bačeni u podzemne krajeve, posred sinova ljudskih, s onima što slaze u jamu!'
15 Thus saith the Lord God, In the day when he went downe to hell, I caused them to mourne, and I couered the deepe for him, and I did restreine the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: I caused Lebanon to mourne for him, and all the trees of the fielde fainted. (Sheol h7585)
Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'U dan kad on siđe u Podzemlje, u znak žalosti, zatvorih nad njim ponor i zaustavih rijeke njegove. I velike vode presahnuše te sav Libanon zbog njega u tugu zaogrnuh i sve se poljsko drveće zbog njega osuši! (Sheol h7585)
16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him downe to hell with them that descend into the pit, and all the excellent trees of Eden, and the best of Lebanon: euen all that are nourished with waters, shall be comforted in the nether partes of the earth. (Sheol h7585)
Gromotom pada njegova potresoh narode kad ga strmoglavih u Podzemlje s onima što u jamu siđoše! I u podzemnom se kraju utješi sve drveće edensko, najizabranije i najljepše u Libanonu, sve što je vodu ispijalo. (Sheol h7585)
17 They also went downe to hell with him vnto them that be slaine with the sworde, and his arme, and they that dwelt vnder his shadowe in the middes of the heathen. (Sheol h7585)
I ono, mišica njegova, i oni među narodima koji u hladu njegovu sjeđahu, siđoše s njim u Podzemlje, k onima što mačem bijahu probodeni. (Sheol h7585)
18 To whom art thou thus like in glorie and in greatnesse among the trees of Eden? yet thou shalt be cast downe with the trees of Eden vnto the nether partes of the earth: thou shalt sleepe in the middes of the vncircumcised, with them that be slaine by the sworde: this is Pharaoh and all his multitude, sayth the Lord God.
Na koga, dakle, među drvećem edenskim, naličiš svojom moći, slavom i veličinom? A sad si s njima oboren u podzemni kraj i s neobrezanima ležiš među onima što mačem bijahu probodeni. To je faraon i sve njegovo mnoštvo' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda.”
