Ezekiel 31
1 And it cometh to pass, in the eleventh year, in the third [month], in the first of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying:
十一年三月初一日，耶和华的话临到我说：
2 'Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and unto his multitude: To whom hast thou been like in thy 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 Lo, Asshur, a cedar in Lebanon, Fair in branch, and shading bough, and high in stature, And between thickets hath its foliage been.
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 hath exalted him with its flowings, Going round about its planting, And its conduits it hath sent forth unto 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 higher hath been his stature than all trees of the field, And multiplied are his boughs, and long are his branches, 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 In his boughs made a nest hath every fowl of the heavens, And under his branches brought forth hath every beast of the field, And in his shade dwell do all great nations.
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 fair in his greatness, In the length of his thin shoots, For his root hath 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 unto his boughs, And chesnut-trees have not been as his branches, No tree in the garden of God hath been like unto 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 Fair I have made him in the multitude of his thin shoots, And envy him do all trees of Eden that [are] in the garden of God.
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 the Lord Jehovah: Because that thou hast been high in stature, And he yieldeth his foliage between thickets, And high is his heart 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 dealeth sorely 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 cut him off do strangers, The terrible of nations, and they leave him, On the mountains and in all valleys have his thin shoots fallen, And broken are his boughs at all streams of the land, And go down from his shade do all peoples of the land, 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 On his ruin dwell do all fowls of the heavens, And on his boughs have been all the beasts of the field,
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 unto them in their haughtiness, For all of them are given up to death, Unto the earth — the lower part, In the midst of the sons of men, Unto 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 the Lord Jehovah: In the day of his going down to sheol I have caused mourning, I have covered for him the deep, and diminish its flowings, And restrained are many waters, And I make Lebanon black for him, And all trees of the field have been covered 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 From the sound of his fall I have caused nations to shake, In My causing him to go down to sheol, With those going down to the pit, And comforted in the earth — the lower part, are all trees of Eden, The choice and the 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 Also they with him have gone down to sheol, Unto 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 Unto whom hast thou been thus like, In honour and in greatness among the trees of Eden, And thou hast been brought down with the trees of Eden, Unto the earth — the lower part, In the midst of the uncircumcised thou liest, With the pierced of the sword? It [is] Pharaoh, and all his multitude, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'
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。”
