Ezekiel 31
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, in 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 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom are you like in your 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 a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was 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 made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent her little rivers to all the trees of the field.
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 his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.
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 All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelled all great nations.
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 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by 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 garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like to 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 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden 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 says the Lord GOD; Because you have lifted up yourself in height, and he has shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is 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 therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for 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, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: on the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left 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 On his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be on 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 To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered to death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the middle of the children of men, with them that go down to 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 says the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. (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 made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether 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 They also went down into hell with him to them that be slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelled under his shadow in the middle of the heathen. (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 are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shall you be brought down with the trees of Eden to the nether parts of the earth: you shall lie in the middle of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, says 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
