Ecechiela 31
1 Un vienpadsmitā gadā, trešā mēnesī, pirmā mēneša dienā Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Cilvēka bērns, runā uz Faraonu, Ēģiptes ķēniņu, un uz viņa ļaužu pulku: kam tu esi līdzīgs savā augstībā?
Son of man, say unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to his multitude, Unto whom art thou like in thy arrogance?
3 Redzi, Asurs bija ciedra koks uz Lībanus, skaistiem zariem un kuplām lapām un slaiku augumu, un viņa galotne bija iekš mākoņiem.
Behold, Asshur was a cedar in Lebanon beautiful in its boughs, and a shadowing thicket, and high in stature; and among the thick-boughed trees was its highest branch.
4 Ūdens viņu darīja lielu, un jūras dziļumi viņu paaugstināja, viņa upes gāja apkārt ap dārziem, un savus ūdeņus tas sūtīja pie visiem lauka kokiem.
The waters made it great, the deep made it high, with its rivers it was flowing round the place where it was planted, and its ditches it sent forth unto all the trees of the field.
5 Tāpēc viņa augums bija augstāks pār visiem lauka kokiem, un viņa zari vairojās un viņa zariņi plaukstot pagarinājās caur to lielo ūdeni.
Therefore became its stature higher than all the trees of the field, and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when it stretched itself forth.
6 Visi putni apakš debess taisīja ligzdas viņa zaros, un visi lauka zvēri vedās apakš viņa zariem, un visas lielās tautas sēdēja viņa pavēnī.
In its boughs made all the fowls of heaven their nest, and under its branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under its shade dwelt all great nations.
7 Tā tas bija skaists savā lielumā un savu zaru garumā, jo viņa sakne bija pie daudz ūdeņiem.
And it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its light branches; for its root was by many waters.
8 Ciedru koki Dieva dārzā viņu neaptumšoja un priedes viņa zariem nelīdzinājās, un kļavu koki nebija tādi kā viņa zariņi, neviens koks Dieva dārzā viņam nelīdzinājās skaistumā.
The cedars could not obscure it in the garden of God; the firs were not like its boughs, and the chestnut-trees were not like its branches: not any tree in the garden of God was like unto it in its beauty.
9 Es viņu biju darījis tik skaistu caur viņa zaru pulku, ka visi Ēdenes koki Dieva dārzā viņu apskauda.
Beautiful had I made it by the multitude of its light branches: so that all the trees of 'Eden that were in the garden of God, envied it.
10 Tāpēc tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: tādēļ ka tu tā biji cēlies garumā, un ka viņš savu galotni izstiepis līdz padebešiem, un viņa sirds sava augstuma dēļ lepojās,
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because thou wast so high in stature, and it had placed its highest branch between the thick-boughed trees, and its heart was lifted up through its height:
11 Tāpēc Es viņu nodevu rokā tautu varenajam, ar viņu darīt pēc patikšanas; Es viņu izdzinu viņa bezdievības dēļ.
Therefore do I give it up into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with it at his pleasure; for its wickedness do I drive it out.
12 Un sveši, tie tautu briesmīgākie, viņu nocirta un to nometa, viņa zari krita uz kalniem un pa visām ielejām, un viņa zariņi tapa nogāzti visās zemes gravās. Un visas zemes tautas aizgāja no viņa pavēņa un viņu atstāja.
And strangers, the fiercest of nations, cut it down, and cast it to the ground: on the mountains and in all the valleys fall its light branches, and its boughs are [lying] broken in all the ravines of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone away from its shade, and have cast it to the ground.
13 Visi putni apakš debess nolaidās uz viņa, un visi lauka zvēri bija uz viņa zariem;
Upon its fallen fragments dwell all the fowls of the heaven, and on its branches are all the beasts of the field:
14 Lai nekādi pie ūdens dēstīti koki nelepojās sava auguma pēc, un savu galotni nestiepj līdz mākoņiem, un nekādi no ūdens slacināti koki nepaļaujas uz sev pašiem sava augstuma dēļ; jo tie visi nāvei ir nodoti uz zemes apakšu, cilvēka bērnu vidū, pie tiem, kas grimst bedrē.
In order that none of all the trees by the waters shall exalt themselves for their height, nor place their highest branch among the thick-boughed trees, and that all those that are nourished by water shall not place themselves erect, because of their height; for they are all given up unto death, to the land of the nether world, in the midst of the children of men, with those that go down to the pit.
15 Tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: tai dienā, kad tas ellē nogrima, tad Es cēlu bēdas, Es viņa dēļ apklāju dziļumus un aizturēju viņa upes, un tie varenie ūdeņi apstājās, un Es darīju, ka Lībanus viņa dēļ sērojās, un visi lauka koki nokalta viņa dēļ. (Sheol h7585)
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, On the day when it went down to the grave I caused a mourning; I covered the deep for its sake, and I restrained its rivers, and the great waters were withheld; and I caused Lebanon to be clothed in black attire for its sake, and all the trees of the field were famished because of it. (Sheol h7585)
16 No viņa kritiena trokšņa Es pagānus darīju drebam, kad Es viņu ellē nogrūdu pie tiem, kas grimst bedrē. Un visi Ēdenes koki, tie izlasītie un labākie uz Lībanus, visi no ūdens slacinātie koki iepriecinājās zemes apakšā. (Sheol h7585)
Through the noise of its downfall I caused nations to quake, when I cast it down into the tomb with the [others] that descend into the pit: and in the land of the nether world comforted themselves all the trees of 'Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that were nourished by water. (Sheol h7585)
17 Tie nogrima arīdzan līdz ar viņu ellē pie tiem zobena nokautiem, kas kā viņa palīgi bija sēdējuši viņa pavēnī starp tautām. (Sheol h7585)
They also went down with it into the tomb unto those that were slain with the sword, and its helpers that had dwelt under its shade in the midst of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
18 Kam starp Ēdenes kokiem tu tad esi līdzīgs godā un augstumā? Arī tu tapsi nogrūsts ar Ēdenes kokiem zemes apakšā, tu gulēsi vidū starp neapgraizītiem, pie zobenu nokautiem. Tas ir Faraons un viss viņa ļaužu pulks, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
To whom art thou then like in glory and in greatness among the trees of 'Eden? And thou too shalt be brought down with the trees of 'Eden unto the land of the nether world: in the midst of the uncircumcised shalt thou lie with those slain by the sword; yes, he, Pharaoh, and all his multitude, saith the Lord Eternal.
