< Ecechiela 31 >
1 Un vienpadsmitā gadā, trešā mēnesī, pirmā mēneša dienā Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:
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:
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 king of Egypt, and unto his multitude: To whom hast thou been like in thy greatness?
3 Redzi, Asurs bija ciedra koks uz Lībanus, skaistiem zariem un kuplām lapām un slaiku augumu, un viņa galotne bija iekš mākoņiem.
Lo, Asshur, a cedar in Lebanon, Fair in branch, and shading bough, and high in stature, And between thickets hath its foliage been.
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.
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.
5 Tāpēc viņa augums bija augstāks pār visiem lauka kokiem, un viņa zari vairojās un viņa zariņi plaukstot pagarinājās caur to lielo ūdeni.
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,
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 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.
7 Tā tas bija skaists savā lielumā un savu zaru garumā, jo viņa sakne bija pie daudz ūdeņiem.
And he is fair in his greatness, In the length of his thin shoots, For his root hath been by great 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 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,
9 Es viņu biju darījis tik skaistu caur viņa zaru pulku, ka visi Ēdenes koki Dieva dārzā viņu apskauda.
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.
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 Jehovah: Because that thou hast been high in stature, And he yieldeth his foliage between thickets, And high is his heart in his haughtiness,
11 Tāpēc Es viņu nodevu rokā tautu varenajam, ar viņu darīt pēc patikšanas; Es viņu izdzinu viņa bezdievības dēļ.
I give him into the hand of a god of nations, He dealeth sorely with him, In his wickedness I have cast him 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 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.
13 Visi putni apakš debess nolaidās uz viņa, un visi lauka zvēri bija uz viņa zariem;
On his ruin dwell do all fowls of the heavens, And on his boughs have been 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 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.
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 )
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 )
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 )
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 )
17 Tie nogrima arīdzan līdz ar viņu ellē pie tiem zobena nokautiem, kas kā viņa palīgi bija sēdējuši viņa pavēnī starp tautām. (Sheol )
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 )
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.
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!'
