Ἰεζεκιήλ 31
1 Και εν τω ενδεκάτω έτει, τω τρίτω μηνί, τη πρώτη του μηνός, έγεινε λόγος Κυρίου προς εμέ, λέγων,
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,
2 Υιέ ανθρώπου, ειπέ προς τον Φαραώ βασιλέα της Αιγύπτου και προς το πλήθος αυτού· Με ποίον ώμοιώθης εν τη μεγαλειότητί σου;
Son of man, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
3 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.
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.
4 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.
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.
5 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.
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.
6 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.
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.
7 Ήτο λοιπόν ώραίος κατά το μέγεθος αυτού και κατά την έκτασιν των κλάδων αυτού, διότι αι ρίζαι αυτού ήσαν πλησίον υδάτων πολλών.
Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.
8 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.
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.
9 Έκαμον αυτόν ώραίον κατά το πλήθος των κλάδων αυτού, ώστε πάντα τα δένδρα της Εδέμ, τα εν τω παραδείσω του Θεού, εζήλευον αυτόν.
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.
10 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,
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;
11 διά τούτο παρέδωκα αυτόν εις την χείρα του δυνάστου των εθνών, όστις θέλει φερθή αξίως προς αυτόν· απέβαλον αυτόν διά την ασέβειαν αυτού.
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.
12 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.
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.
13 Επί του πτώματος αυτού θέλουσιν επικάθησθαι πάντα τα πετεινά του ουρανού και επί τους κλάδους αυτού θέλουσιν είσθαι πάντα τα ζώα του αγρού·
Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
14 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.
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.
15 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)
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)
16 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)
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)
17 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)
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)
18 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.
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.
