Ecechiela 31
1 Un vienpadsmitā gadā, trešā mēnesī, pirmā mēneša dienā Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:
Then it came about in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to 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 to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and to his multitudes around him, 'In your greatness, who are you like?
3 Redzi, Asurs bija ciedra koks uz Lībanus, skaistiem zariem un kuplām lapām un slaiku augumu, un viņa galotne bija iekš mākoņiem.
Behold! Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon with beautiful branches, giving shade to the forest, and the tallest in height, and the branches formed its treetop.
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.
Many waters made it tall; the deep waters made it huge. Rivers flowed all around its area, for their channels stretched out to all the trees in 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.
Its great height was more than any of the other trees in the field, and its branches became very many; its branches grew long because of many waters as they grew.
6 Visi putni apakš debess taisīja ligzdas viņa zaros, un visi lauka zvēri vedās apakš viņa zariem, un visas lielās tautas sēdēja viņa pavēnī.
Every bird of the heavens nested in its branches, while every living thing of the field gave birth to its young under its foliage. All of the many nations lived under its shade.
7 Tā tas bija skaists savā lielumā un savu zaru garumā, jo viņa sakne bija pie daudz ūdeņiem.
For it was beautiful in its greatness and the length of its branches, for its roots were in 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.
Cedars in the garden of God could not equal it. None among the cypress trees matched its branches, and the plane tree could not equal its boughs. There was no other tree in the garden of God that was like it in its beauty.
9 Es viņu biju darījis tik skaistu caur viņa zaru pulku, ka visi Ēdenes koki Dieva dārzā viņu apskauda.
I made it beautiful with its many branches and 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 the Lord Yahweh says this: Because it was tall in height, and it set its treetop between its branches, it lifted up its heart because of its height.
11 Tāpēc Es viņu nodevu rokā tautu varenajam, ar viņu darīt pēc patikšanas; Es viņu izdzinu viņa bezdievības dēļ.
I have given it into the hand of a mighty one of the nations, to deal with it according to what its wickedness deserves. I have thrown 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.
Foreigners who were the terror of all the nations cut it off and left it to die. Its branches fell on the mountains and all the valleys, and its boughs lay broken in all the ravines of the land. Then all the nations on earth came out from under its shade and they went away from it.
13 Visi putni apakš debess nolaidās uz viņa, un visi lauka zvēri bija uz viņa zariem;
All the birds of the sky rested on the trunk of the fallen tree, and every animal of the field came to its branches.
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.
This happened so that no other trees that grow by the waters will lift up their foliage to the height of the tallest trees, and that no other trees that grow beside the waters will reach up to that height. All of them have been assigned to death, to the earth below, among the children of humanity, 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)
The Lord Yahweh says this: On the day when the cedar went down to Sheol I brought mourning to the earth. I covered the deep waters over it, and I held back the ocean waters. I kept back the great waters, and I brought mourning to Lebanon for him. So all the trees of the field mourned 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)
I brought shuddering to the nations at the sound of its downfall, when I threw it down to Sheol with those who went down into the pit. So I comforted all the trees of Eden in the lowest parts of the earth. These had been the choicest and best trees of Lebanon; the trees that drank the waters. (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)
For they also went down with it to Sheol, to the ones who had been killed by the sword. These were its strong arm, those nations who had lived in its shade. (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.
Which of the trees in Eden was your equal in glory and greatness? For you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lowest parts of the earth among the uncircumcised; you will live with those who were killed by the sword.' This is Pharaoh and all of his multitudes—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
