Ezekiel 31

1 and to be in/on/with one ten year in/on/with third in/on/with one to/for month to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say

And it happened that, in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2 son: child man to say to(wards) Pharaoh king Egypt and to(wards) crowd his to(wards) who? to resemble in/on/with greatness your

“Son of man, speak to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and to his people: To whom can you be compared in your greatness?

3 behold Assyria cedar in/on/with Lebanon beautiful branch and wood to shade and high height and between: among cord to be treetop his

Behold, Assur is like the cedar of Lebanon, with fair branches, and full of leaves, and of high stature, and his summit has been elevated above the thick branches.

4 water to magnify him abyss to exalt him [obj] river her to go: walk around plantation her and [obj] conduit her to send: depart to(wards) all tree [the] land: country

The waters have nourished him. The abyss has exalted him. Its rivers have flowed around his roots, and it has sent forth its streams to all the trees of the regions.

5 upon so to exult height his from all tree [the] land: country and to multiply bough his and to prolong (bough his *Q(K)*) from water many in/on/with to send: depart he

Because of this, his height was exalted above all the trees of the regions, and his groves were multiplied, and his own branches were elevated, because of the many waters.

6 in/on/with bough his to make a nest all bird [the] heaven and underneath: under bough his to beget all living thing [the] land: country and in/on/with shadow his to dwell all nation many

And when he had extended his shadow, all the birds of the air made their nests in his branches, and all the beasts of the forest conceived their young under his foliage, and an assembly of the many peoples lived under his shadow.

7 and be beautiful in/on/with greatness his in/on/with length branch his for to be root his to(wards) water many

And he was most beautiful in his greatness and in the expansion of his groves. For his root was near many waters.

8 cedar not to darken him in/on/with garden God cypress not to resemble to(wards) bough his and plane tree not to be like/as bough his all tree in/on/with garden God not to resemble to(wards) him in/on/with beauty his

The cedars in the Paradise of God were not higher than he was. The spruce trees were not equal to his summit, and the plane trees were not equal to his fullness. No tree in the Paradise of God was similar to him or to his beauty.

9 beautiful to make him in/on/with abundance branch his and be jealous him all tree Eden which in/on/with garden [the] God

For I made him beautiful, and dense with many branches. And all the trees of delight, which were in the Paradise of God, were jealous of him.

10 to/for so thus to say Lord YHWH/God because which to exult in/on/with height and to give: put treetop his to(wards) between: among cord and to exalt heart his in/on/with height his

Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since he was sublime in height, and he made his summit green and dense, and his heart was exalted because of his height,

11 and to give: give him in/on/with hand: power leader nation to make: do to make: do to/for him like/as wickedness his to drive out: drive out him

I have delivered him into the hands of the most powerful one among the Gentiles, so that he will deal with him. I have cast him out, in accord with his impiety.

12 and to cut: cut him be a stranger ruthless nation and to leave him to(wards) [the] mountain: mount and in/on/with all valley to fall: fell(trees) branch his and to break bough his in/on/with all channel [the] land: country/planet and to go down from shadow his all people [the] land: country/planet and to leave him

And foreigners, and the most cruel among the nations, will cut him down. And they will cast him on the mountains. And his branches will fall in every steep valley, and his grove will be broken apart on every cliff of the earth. And all the peoples of the earth will withdraw from his shadow, and abandon him.

13 upon carcass his to dwell all bird [the] heaven and to(wards) bough his to be all living thing [the] land: country

All the birds of the air lived upon his ruins, and all the beasts of the countryside were among his branches.

14 because which not to exult in/on/with height their all tree water and not to give: put [obj] treetop their to(wards) between: among cord and not to stand: rise terebinth their in/on/with height their all to drink water for all their to give: give to/for death to(wards) land: country/planet lower in/on/with midst son: child man to(wards) to go down pit

For this reason, none of the trees among the waters will exalt themselves because of their height, nor will they place their summits above the thick branches and foliage, nor will any of those that are irrigated stand out because of their height. For they have all been delivered unto death, to the lowest part of the earth, into the midst of the sons of men, those who descend into the pit.

15 thus to say Lord YHWH/God in/on/with day to go down he hell: Sheol [to] to mourn to cover upon him [obj] abyss and to withhold river her and to restrain water many and be dark upon him Lebanon and all tree [the] land: country upon him fainting (Sheol h7585)

Thus says the Lord God: In the day when he descended into hell, I led in grieving. I covered him with the abyss. And I held back its rivers, and I restrained the many waters. Lebanon was saddened over him, and all the trees of the field were struck together. (Sheol h7585)

16 from voice: sound carcass his to shake nation in/on/with to go down I [obj] him hell: Sheol [to] with to go down pit and to be sorry: comfort in/on/with land: country/planet lower all tree Eden best and pleasant Lebanon all to drink water (Sheol h7585)

I shook the Gentiles with the sound of his ruin, when I led him down to hell, with those who were descending into the pit. And all the trees of delights, the finest and best in Lebanon, all that were irrigated with waters, were consoled in the deepest parts of the earth. (Sheol h7585)

17 also they(masc.) with him to go down hell: Sheol [to] to(wards) slain: killed sword and arm his to dwell in/on/with shadow his in/on/with midst nation (Sheol h7585)

For they, too, will descend with him into hell, to those who have been slain by the sword. And the arm of each one will reside under his shadow, in the midst of the nations. (Sheol h7585)

18 to(wards) who? to resemble thus in/on/with glory and in/on/with greatness in/on/with tree Eden and to go down with tree Eden to(wards) land: country/planet lower in/on/with midst uncircumcised to lie down: be dead with slain: killed sword he/she/it Pharaoh and all (crowd his *Q(K)*) utterance Lord YHWH/God

To whom can you be compared, O famous and sublime one, among the trees of pleasure? Behold, you have been brought down, with the trees of pleasure, to the lowest part of the earth. You will sleep in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who have been slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh, and all his multitude, says the Lord God.”
