< Ecechiela 31 >
1 Un vienpadsmitā gadā, trešā mēnesī, pirmā mēneša dienā Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:
In the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, Yahweh’s word 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, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt and his multitude: ‘Whom are you like in your greatness?
3 Redzi, Asurs bija ciedra koks uz Lībanus, skaistiem zariem un kuplām lapām un slaiku augumu, un viņa galotne bija iekš mākoņiem.
Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with beautiful branches, and with a forest-like shade, of high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs.
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 nourished it. The deep made it to grow. Its rivers ran all around its plantation. It sent out its channels to 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 its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied. Its branches became long by reason of many waters, when it spread them out.
6 Visi putni apakš debess taisīja ligzdas viņa zaros, un visi lauka zvēri vedās apakš viņa zariem, un visas lielās tautas sēdēja viņa pavēnī.
All the birds of the sky made their nests in its boughs. Under its branches, all the animals of the field gave birth to their young. All great nations lived under its shadow.
7 Tā tas bija skaists savā lielumā un savu zaru garumā, jo viņa sakne bija pie daudz ūdeņiem.
Thus it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its 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 in the garden of God could not hide it. The cypress trees were not like its branches. The pine trees were not like its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God 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 by the multitude of its 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 said the Lord Yahweh: ‘Because he is exalted in stature, and he has set his top among the thick branches, and his heart is lifted up in his height,
11 Tāpēc Es viņu nodevu rokā tautu varenajam, ar viņu darīt pēc patikšanas; Es viņu izdzinu viņa bezdievības dēļ.
I will deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations. He will surely deal with him. I have driven him out for his wickedness.
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, the tyrants of the nations, have cut him off and have left him. His branches have fallen on the mountains and in all the valleys, and his boughs are broken by all the watercourses of the land. All the peoples of the earth have gone down from his shadow and have left him.
13 Visi putni apakš debess nolaidās uz viņa, un visi lauka zvēri bija uz viņa zariem;
All the birds of the sky will dwell on his ruin, and all the animals of the field will be on his 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.
to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, and don’t set their top among the thick boughs. Their mighty ones don’t stand up on their height, even all who drink water; for they are all delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, among the children of men, with those who 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 )
“The Lord Yahweh says: ‘In the day when he went down to Sheol, I caused a mourning. I covered the deep for him, and I restrained its rivers. The great waters were stopped. I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. (Sheol )
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 )
I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol with those who descend into the pit. All the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the lower parts of the earth. (Sheol )
17 Tie nogrima arīdzan līdz ar viņu ellē pie tiem zobena nokautiem, kas kā viņa palīgi bija sēdējuši viņa pavēnī starp tautām. (Sheol )
They also went down into Sheol with him to those who are slain by the sword; yes, those who were his arm, who lived under his shadow in the middle of the nations. (Sheol )
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 are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? Yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lower parts of the earth. You will lie in the middle of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword. “‘This is Pharaoh and all his multitude,’ says the Lord Yahweh.”
