Ezekiel 31
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first of the month, that the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
Και εν τω ενδεκάτω έτει, τω τρίτω μηνί, τη πρώτη του μηνός, έγεινε λόγος Κυρίου προς εμέ, λέγων,
2 Son of man Say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt and unto his multitude, — Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
Υιέ ανθρώπου, ειπέ προς τον Φαραώ βασιλέα της Αιγύπτου και προς το πλήθος αυτού· Με ποίον ώμοιώθης εν τη μεγαλειότητί σου;
3 Lo! Assyria, was a cedar in Lebanon, Beautiful in bough and Dense in foliage and Lofty in stature, — and Among the clouds, came to be his top:
Ιδού, ο Ασσύριος ήτο κέδρος εν τω Λιβάνω με κλάδους ωραίους, και πυκνός την σκιάν και υψηλός το μέγεθος, και η κορυφή αυτού ήτο εν μέσω κλάδων πυκνών.
4 The waters made him great, the roaring deep, made him high—with its currents going round about the place where it was planted, Its channels also, it sent forth unto all the trees of the field.
Τα ύδατα ηύξησαν αυτόν, η άβυσσος ύψωσεν αυτόν με τους ποταμούς αυτής τους ρέοντας κύκλω των φυτών αυτού, και εξέπεμπε τους ρύακας αυτής εις πάντα τα δένδρα του αγρού.
5 For this cause higher, was his stature than any of the trees of the field, -And multiplied were his boughs And lengthened were his branches, By reason of the mighty waters when he shot forth shoots.
Όθεν το ύψος εαυτού ανέβη υπεράνω πάντων των δένδρων του αγρού και οι κλώνοι αυτού επλήθυναν και οι κλάδοι αυτού εξετάνθησαν διά το πλήθος των υδάτων, ενώ εβλάστανε.
6 Among his branches, all the birds of the heavens, made their nests, And under his boughs, all the wild beasts of the field, brought forth, — And, in his shade, dwelt all the mighty nations.
Πάντα τα πετεινά του ουρανού εφώλευον εν τοις κλώνοις αυτού, και πάντα τα ζώα του αγρού εγέννων υπό τους κλάδους αυτού· υπό δε την σκιάν αυτού κατώκουν πάντα τα μεγάλα έθνη.
7 Thus became he beautiful in his greatness, In the length of his waving branches, Because his root had gone towards mighty waters.
Ήτο λοιπόν ώραίος κατά το μέγεθος αυτού και κατά την έκτασιν των κλάδων αυτού, διότι αι ρίζαι αυτού ήσαν πλησίον υδάτων πολλών.
8 Cedars hid him not. in the garden of God, Fir-trees were not like unto his boughs, Nor plane-trees, like his branches, —no, tree in the garden of God, was like unto him in his beauty.
Αι κέδροι εν τω παραδείσω του Θεού δεν ηδύναντο να κρύψωσιν αυτόν· αι έλατοι δεν εξισούντο με τους κλώνους αυτού, και αι κάστανοι δεν εξισούντο με τους κλάδους αυτού· ουδέν δένδρον εν τω παραδείσω του Θεού ώμοίαζεν αυτόν κατά την ώραιότητα αυτού.
9 Beautiful, I made him in the abundance of his waving branches, - Therefore was he envied by all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God.
Έκαμον αυτόν ώραίον κατά το πλήθος των κλάδων αυτού, ώστε πάντα τα δένδρα της Εδέμ, τα εν τω παραδείσω του Θεού, εζήλευον αυτόν.
10 Therefore Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Because thou hast become lofty in stature, And he hath stretched his top among the clouds, And his heart is exalted in his loftiness.
Διά τούτο ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός· Επειδή ύψωσας σεαυτόν υψηλά, και επειδή εσήκωσε την κορυφήν αυτού μεταξύ των πυκνών κλώνων και η καρδία αυτού επήρθη εις το ύψος αυτού,
11 Let me then deliver him into the hand of the chief of the nations, He shall effectually deal with him! According to his lawlessness, have I driven him out:
διά τούτο παρέδωκα αυτόν εις την χείρα του δυνάστου των εθνών, όστις θέλει φερθή αξίως προς αυτόν· απέβαλον αυτόν διά την ασέβειαν αυτού.
12 Therefore have foreigners the terrible of the nations cut him down. And abandoned him, — Upon the mountains and in all valleys, have fallen his waving branches And broken have been his boughs in all the river-beds of the land, And all the peoples of the earth have come down out of his shade. And abandoned him:
Και ξένοι, οι τρομερώτεροι των εθνών, έκοψαν αυτόν και εγκατέλιπον αυτόν· οι κλάδοι αυτού έπεσον επί τα όρη και εν πάσαις ταις φάραγξι και οι κλώνοι αυτού συνετρίφθησαν υπό πάντων των ποταμών της γης, και πάντες οι λαοί της γης κατέβησαν από της σκιάς αυτού και εγκατέλιπον αυτόν.
13 Upon his trunk, shall settle down all the birds of the heavens, - And among his boughs, are to be found all the wild beasts of the field: —
Επί του πτώματος αυτού θέλουσιν επικάθησθαι πάντα τα πετεινά του ουρανού και επί τους κλάδους αυτού θέλουσιν είσθαι πάντα τα ζώα του αγρού·
14 To the end that none of the trees of the waters— May exalt themselves in their stature or stretch their top among the clouds, Nor their mighty ones take their stand in their height- any that drink of the waters, — Because they all, are delivered to death Unto the earth below. In the midst of the sons of Adam. Amongst them who descend into the pit.
διά να μη υψωθή εν τω ύψει αυτού ουδέν εκ των δένδρων των υδάτων μηδέ να σηκώσωσι την κορυφήν αυτών μεταξύ των πυκνών κλάδων, και εκ πάντων των πινόντων ύδωρ, ουδέν εκ τούτων να μη στέκηται εν τω ύψει αυτού· διότι πάντα παρεδόθησαν εις τον θάνατον, εις τα κατώτατα της γης, εν μέσω των υιών των ανθρώπων, μετά των καταβαινόντων εις λάκκον.
15 Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, In the day when he descended into hades, I caused a mourning. I covered over him the roaring deep, And restrained the currents thereof And stayed were the mighty waters, So caused I gloom over him unto Lebanon, And all the trees of the field for him were covered with a shroud. (Sheol h7585)
Ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός· Καθ' ην ημέραν κατέβη εις τον άδην, έκαμον να γείνη πένθος· εσκέπασα την άβυσσον δι' αυτόν και εμπόδισα τους ποταμούς αυτής και τα μεγάλα ύδατα εκρατήθησαν· και έκαμον να πενθήση ο Λίβανος δι' αυτόν και πάντα τα δένδρα του αγρού εμαράνθησαν δι' αυτόν. (Sheol h7585)
16 At the sound of his fall, I made nations tremble, When I caused him to descend into hades, with them who descend into the pit, — Then were grieved in the earth below-All the trees of Eden, The choicest and best of Lebanon All who had drunk the waters. (Sheol h7585)
Έκαμον τα έθνη να σεισθώσιν εις τον ήχον της πτώσεως αυτού, ότε κατεβίβασα αυτόν εις τον άδην μετά των καταβαινόντων εις λάκκον· και πάντα τα δένδρα της Εδέμ, τα εκλεκτά και τα καλά του Λιβάνου, πάντα τα πίνοντα ύδωρ, παρηγορήθησαν εν τοις κατωτάτοις της γης. (Sheol h7585)
17 Even they, with him descended into hades. Among them who were thrust through with the sword, - Even his seed who dwelt in his shade in the midst of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
Και αυτοί ότι κατέβησαν εις τον άδην μετ' αυτού, προς τους τεθανατωμένους εν μαχαίρα· και όσοι ήσαν ο βραχίων αυτού, οι κατοικούντες υπό την σκιάν αυτού εν μέσω των εθνών. (Sheol h7585)
18 Unto whom couldst thou be likened thus, in glory and in greatness, among the trees of Eden? Yet shalt thou be caused to descend with the trees of Eden into the earth below In the midst of the uncircumcised, shalt thou lie down With them who were thrust through by the sword, the same, is Pharaoh and all his multitude, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
Με ποίον ώμοιώθης ούτως εν τη δόξη και εν τη μεγαλειότητι, μεταξύ των δένδρων της Εδέμ; θέλεις όμως καταβιβασθή μετά των δένδρων της Εδέμ εις τα κατώτατα της γής· θέλεις κοίτεσθαι εν μέσω των απεριτμήτων μετά των τεθανατωμένων εν μαχαίρα· ούτος είναι ο Φαραώ και άπαν το πλήθος αυτού, λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός.
