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:
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 Say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt and unto his multitude, — Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
Filho do homem, dize a Pharaó, rei do Egypto, e á sua multidão: A quem és similhante na tua grandeza?
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:
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 became he beautiful in his greatness, In the length of his waving branches, Because his root had gone towards mighty waters.
Assim era elle formoso na sua grandeza, na extensão dos seus ramos, porque a sua raiz estava junto ás muitas aguas.
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.
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 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.
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, 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.
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 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:
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 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:
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 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: —
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 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.
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, 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)
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 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)
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 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)
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 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.
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
