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,
Et factum est in anno undecimo, tertio mense, una mensis, factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
2 Son of man, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
Fili hominis dic Pharaoni regi Aegypti, et populo eius: Cui similis factus es in magnitudine tua?
3 Behold, the Assyrian [was] a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shady cover, and of a high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.
Ecce Assur quasi cedrus in Libano, pulcher ramis, et frondibus nemorosus, excelsusque altitudine, et inter condensas frondes elevatum est cacumen eius.
4 The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round his plants, and sent out her little rivers to all the trees of the field.
Aquae nutrierunt illum, abyssus exaltavit illum: flumina eius manabant in circuitu radicum eius, et rivos suos emisit ad universa ligna regionis.
5 Therefore his hight 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.
Propterea elevata est altitudo eius super omnia ligna regionis: et multiplicata sunt arbusta eius, et elevati sunt rami eius prae aquis multis.
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 shade dwelt all great nations.
Cumque extendisset umbram suam, in ramis eius fecerunt nidos omnia volatilia caeli, et sub frondibus eius genuerunt omnes bestiae saltuum, et sub umbraculo illius habitabat coetus Gentium plurimarum.
7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.
Eratque pulcherrimus in magnitudine sua, et in dilatatione arbustorum suorum: erat enim radix illius iuxta aquas multas.
8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir-trees were not like his boughs, and the chesnut-trees were not like his branches; not any tree in the garden of God was like to him in his beauty.
Cedri non fuerunt altiores illo in paradiso Dei, abietes non adaequaverunt summitatem eius, et platani non fuerunt aequae frondibus illius: omne lignum paradisi Dei non est assimilatum illi, et pulchritudini eius.
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.
Quoniam speciosum feci eum, et multis, condensisque frondibus: et aemulata sunt eum omnia ligna voluptatis, quae erant in paradiso Dei.
10 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in hight, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his hight;
Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod sublimatus est in altitudine, et dedit summitatem suam virentem atque condensam, et elevatum est cor eius in altitudine sua:
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.
Tradidi eum in manu fortissimi Gentium, faciens faciet ei: iuxta impietatem eius eieci eum.
12 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon 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 have gone down from his shade, and have left him.
Et succident eum alieni, et crudelissimi nationum, et proiicient eum super montes, et in cunctis convallibus corruent rami eius, et confringentur arbusta eius in universis rupibus terrae: et recedent de umbraculo eius omnes populi terrae, et relinquent eum.
13 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
In ruina eius habitaverunt omnia volatilia caeli, et in ramis eius fuerunt universae bestiae regionis.
14 To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their hight, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their hight, all that drink water: for they are all delivered to death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
Quam ob rem non elevabuntur in altitudine sua omnia ligna aquarum, nec ponent sublimitatem suam inter nemorosa atque frondosa, nec stabunt in sublimitate sua omnia, quae irrigantur aquis: quia omnes traditi sunt in mortem ad terram ultimam in medio filiorum hominum ad eos, qui descendunt in lacum.
15 Thus saith 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 its floods, 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)
Haec dicit Dominus Deus: In die quando descendit ad inferos, induxi luctum, operui eum abysso: et prohibui flumina eius, et coercui aquas multas: contristatus est super eum Libanus, et omnia ligna agri concussa sunt. (Sheol h7585)
16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to the grave 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)
A sonitu ruinae eius commovi Gentes, cum deducerem eum ad infernum cum his, qui descendebant in lacum: et consolata sunt in terra infima omnia ligna voluptatis egregia, atque praeclara in Libano, universa quae irrigabantur aquis. (Sheol h7585)
17 They also went down into the grave with him to [them that are] slain with the sword; and [they that were] his arm, [that] dwelt under his shade in the midst of the heathen. (Sheol h7585)
Nam et ipsi cum eo descendent ad infernum ad interfectos gladio: et brachium uniuscuiusque sedebit sub umbraculo eius in medio nationum. (Sheol h7585)
18 To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden to the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with [them that are] slain by the sword. This [is] Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
Cui assimilatus es o inclyte atque sublimis inter ligna voluptatis? Ecce deductus es cum lignis voluptatis ad terram ultimam: in medio incircumcisorum dormies, cum eis, qui interfecti sunt gladio, ipse est Pharao, et omnis multitudo eius, dicit Dominus Deus.
