Ezekiel 31
1 And it comes to pass, in the eleventh year, in the third [month], on the first of the month, a word of YHWH has been to me, saying,
十一年三月初一日，耶和华的话临到我说：
2 “Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: To whom have you been like in your greatness?
“人子啊，你要向埃及王法老和他的众人说： 在威势上谁能与你相比呢？
3 Behold, Asshur, a cedar in Lebanon, Beautiful in branch, and shading bough, and high in stature, And its foliage has been between thickets.
亚述王曾如黎巴嫩中的香柏树， 枝条荣美，影密如林， 极其高大，树尖插入云中。
4 Waters have made it great, The deep has exalted him with its flowings, Going around its planting, And it has sent forth its conduits to all trees of the field.
众水使它生长； 深水使它长大。 所栽之地有江河围流， 汊出的水道延到田野诸树。
5 Therefore his stature has been higher than all trees of the field, And his boughs are multiplied, and his branches are long, Because of many waters in his shooting forth.
所以它高大超过田野诸树； 发旺的时候，枝子繁多， 因得大水之力枝条长长。
6 Every bird of the heavens has made a nest in his boughs, And every beast of the field has brought forth under his branches, And all great nations dwell in his shade.
空中的飞鸟都在枝子上搭窝； 田野的走兽都在枝条下生子； 所有大国的人民都在它荫下居住。
7 And he is beautiful in his greatness, In the length of his thin shoots, For his root has been by great waters.
树大条长，成为荣美， 因为根在众水之旁。
8 Cedars have not hid him in the garden of God, Firs have not been like to his boughs, And plane-trees have not been as his branches, No tree in the garden of God has been like to him in his beauty,
神园中的香柏树不能遮蔽它； 松树不及它的枝子； 枫树不及它的枝条； 神园中的树都没有它荣美。
9 I have made him beautiful in the multitude of his thin shoots, And all trees of Eden that [are] in the garden of God envy him.
我使它的枝条蕃多，成为荣美， 以致 神伊甸园中的树都嫉妒它。”
10 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because that you have been high in stature, And he yields his foliage between thickets, And his heart is high in his haughtiness,
所以主耶和华如此说：“因它高大，树尖插入云中，心骄气傲，
11 I give him into the hand of a god of nations, He deals severely with him, In his wickedness I have cast him out.
我就必将它交给列国中大有威势的人；他必定办它。我因它的罪恶，已经驱逐它。
12 And strangers cut him off, The terrible of nations, and they leave him, His thin shoots have fallen on the mountains and in all valleys, And his boughs are broken at all streams of the land, And all peoples of the land go down from his shade, and they leave him.
外邦人，就是列邦中强暴的，将它砍断弃掉。它的枝条落在山间和一切谷中，它的枝子折断，落在地的一切河旁。地上的众民已经走去，离开它的荫下。
13 Every bird of the heavens dwells on his ruin, And all beasts of the field have been on his boughs,
空中的飞鸟都要宿在这败落的树上，田野的走兽都要卧在它的枝条下，
14 In order that none of the trees of the waters May become haughty because of their stature, Nor give their foliage between thickets, Nor any drinking waters stand up to them in their haughtiness, For all of them are given up to death, To the lower earth, In the midst of the sons of men, To those going down to the pit.
好使水旁的诸树不因高大而自尊，也不将树尖插入云中，并且那些得水滋润、有势力的，也不得高大自立。因为它们在世人中，和下坑的人都被交与死亡，到阴府去了。”
15 Thus said Lord YHWH: I have caused mourning in the day of his going down to Sheol, I have covered the deep over him, and diminish its flowings, And many waters are restrained, And I make Lebanon black for him, And all trees of the field [have been] a covering for him. (Sheol h7585)
主耶和华如此说：“它下阴间的那日，我便使人悲哀。我为它遮盖深渊，使江河凝结，大水停流；我也使黎巴嫩为它凄惨，田野的诸树都因它发昏。 (Sheol h7585)
16 I have caused nations to shake at the sound of his fall, In My causing him to go down to Sheol, With those going down to the pit, And all trees of Eden are comforted in the lower earth, The choice and good of Lebanon—All drinking waters. (Sheol h7585)
我将它扔到阴间，与下坑的人一同下去。那时，列国听见它坠落的响声就都震动，并且伊甸的一切树—就是黎巴嫩得水滋润、最佳最美的树—都在阴府受了安慰。 (Sheol h7585)
17 Those with him have also gone down to Sheol, To the pierced of the sword, And—his arm—they dwelt in his shade in the midst of nations. (Sheol h7585)
它们也与它同下阴间，到被杀的人那里。它们曾作它的膀臂，在列国中它的荫下居住。 (Sheol h7585)
18 To whom have you been thus like, In glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? And you have been brought down with the trees of Eden, To the lower earth, You lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, With the pierced of the sword. This [is] Pharaoh, and all his multitude, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
在这样荣耀威势上，在伊甸园诸树中，谁能与你相比呢？然而你要与伊甸的诸树一同下到阴府，在未受割礼的人中，与被杀的人一同躺卧。 “法老和他的群众乃是如此。这是主耶和华说的。”
