< 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,
In pripetilo se je v enajstem letu, v tretjem mesecu, na prvi dan meseca, da je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
2 Sonne of man, speake vnto Pharaoh King of Egypt, and to his multitude, Whom art thou like in thy greatnesse?
»Človeški sin, spregovori faraonu, egiptovskemu kralju in njegovi množici: ›Komu si podoben v svoji veličini?
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Thus was he faire in his greatnesse, and in the length of his branches: for his roote was neere great waters.
Tako je bil lep v svoji veličini, v dolžini svojih mladik, kajti njegova korenina je bila ob velikih vodah.
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.
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 him faire by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, enuied him.
Naredil sem ga lepega z množico njegovih mladik, tako da so mu vsa edenska drevesa, ki so bila v Božjem vrtu, zavidala.‹
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,
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 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.
zato sem ga izročil v roko mogočnega izmed poganov; zagotovo bo obračunal z njim. Ven sem ga izgnal zaradi njegove zlobnosti.
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.
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 Vpon his ruine shall all the foules of the heauen remaine, and all the beastes of the fielde shall be vpon his branches,
Na njegovem uničenju bo ostala vsa perjad neba in vse živali polja bodo na njegovih mladikah,
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.
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 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 )
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 )
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 )
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 )
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 )
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 )
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.
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.‹«
