Jezekilj 31
1 A jedanaeste godine, treæega mjeseca, prvoga dana, doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, the third month, the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Sine èovjeèji, kaži Faraonu caru Misirskom i narodu njegovu: na što si nalik u velièini svojoj?
Son of man, speak to Pharao king of Egypt, and to his people: To whom art thou like in thy greatness?
3 Eto, Asirac bješe kedar na Livanu, lijepijeh grana i debela hlada i visoka rasta, kojemu vrhovi bijahu meðu gustijem granama.
Behold, the Assyrian was like a cedar in Libanus, with fair branches, and full of leaves, of a high stature, and his top was elevated among the thick boughs.
4 Voda ga odgoji, bezdana ga uzvisi; ona rijekama svojim tecijaše oko njegova stabla i puštaše potoke svoje k svijem drvetima poljskim.
The waters nourished him, the deep set him up on high, the streams thereof ran round about his roots, and it sent forth its rivulets to all the trees of the country.
5 Zato rast njegov nadvisi sva drveta poljska, i umnožiše se grane njegove, i od mnoštva vode raširiše se odvode njegove kad ih puštaše.
Therefore was his height exalted above all the trees of the country: and his branches were multiplied, and his boughs were elevated because of many waters.
6 Na granama njegovijem vijahu gnijezda sve ptice nebeske, i pod granama njegovijem sve zvijeri poljske lezijahu se, i u hladu njegovu sjeðahu svi veliki narodi.
And when he had spread forth his shadow, all the fowls of the air made their nests in his boughs, and all the beasts of the forest brought forth their young under his branches, and the assembly of many nations dwelt under his shadow.
7 I bijaše lijep velièinom svojom i dužinom grana svojih, jer mu korijen bijaše kod velike vode.
And he was most beautiful for his greatness, and for the spreading of his branches: for his root was near great waters.
8 Kedri u vrtu Božijem ne mogahu ga zakloniti, jele ne mogahu se izjednaèiti s njegovijem granama, i javori ne bijahu kao ogranci njegovi; nijedno drvo u vrtu Božijem ne bješe na ljepotu tako kao on.
The cedars in the paradise of God wars not higher than he, the fir trees did not equal his top, neither were the plane trees to be compared with him for branches: no tree in the paradise of God was like him in his beauty.
9 Uèinih ga lijepa mnoštvom grana da mu zaviðahu sva drveta Edemska što bijahu u vrtu Božijem.
For I made him beautiful and thick set with many branches: and all the trees of pleasure, that were in the paradise of God, envied him.
10 Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: što je visok narastao, i digao vrh svoj meðu guste grane, i srce se njegovo ponijelo visinom njegovom,
Therefore thus saith the Lord God Because he was exalted in height, and shot up his top green and thick, and his heart was lifted up in his height:
11 Zato ga dadoh u ruku najsilnijemu meðu narodima da èini s njim što hoæe, odvrgoh ga za bezbožnost njegovu.
I have delivered him into the hands of the mighty one of the nations, he shall deal with him: I have cast him out according to his wickedness.
12 I tuðinci, najljuæi izmeðu naroda, posjekoše ga i ostaviše ga; grane mu popadaše po gorama i po svijem dolinama, i ogranci mu se izlomiše po svijem potocima na zemlji; i svi narodi zemaljski otidoše iz hlada njegova i ostaviše ga.
And strangers, and the most cruel of the nations shall cut him down, and cast him away upon the mountains, and his boughs shall fall in every valley, and his branches shall be broken on every rock of the country: and all the people of the earth shall depart from his shadow, and leave him.
13 Na izvaljenom panju njegovu stanuju sve ptice nebeske, i na granama su njegovijem sve zvijeri poljske,
All the fowls of the air dwelt upon his ruins, and all the beasts of the field were among his branches.
14 Da se ne ponosi visinom svojom nijedno drvo kraj vode i ne diže vrha svojega meðu guste grane, i od svijeh što se natapaju da se nijedno ne uzda u se radi svoje velièine; jer su svi predani na smrt, baèeni u najdonji kraj zemlje meðu sinove ljudske s onima koji slaze u jamu.
For which cause none of the trees by the waters shall exalt themselves for their height: nor shoot up their tops among the thick branches and leaves, neither shall any of them that are watered stand up in their height: for they are all delivered unto death to the lowest parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down into the pit.
15 Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: u koji dan side u grob, uèinih žalost, pokrih bezdanu njega radi, i ustavih rijeke njezine, i velika voda stade, i rascvijelih za njim Livan, i sva drveta poljska povenuše za njim. (Sheol h7585)
Thus saith the Lord God: In the day when he went down to hell, I brought in mourning, I covered him with the deep: and I withheld its rivers, and restrained the many waters: Libanus grieved for him, and all the trees of the field trembled. (Sheol h7585)
16 Praskom padanja njegova ustresoh narode, kad ga svalih u grob s onima koji slaze u jamu; i utješiše se na najdonjoj strani zemlje sva drveta Edemska, što je najbolje i najljepše na Livanu, sva što se natapahu. (Sheol h7585)
I shook the nations with the sound of his fall, when I brought him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of pleasure, the choice and best in Libanus, all that were moistened with waters, were comforted in the lowest parts of the earth. (Sheol h7585)
17 I oni sidoše s njim u grob k onima što su pobijeni maèem, i mišica njegova, i koji sjeðahu u hladu njegovu meðu narodima. (Sheol h7585)
For they also shall go down with him to hell to them that are slain by the sword: and the arm of every one shall sit down under his shadow in the midst of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
18 Na koje si meðu drvetima Edemskim nalik slavom i velièinom? Ali æeš biti oboren s drvetima Edemskim u najdonji kraj zemlje, meðu neobrezanima æeš ležati s onima koji su pobijeni maèem. To je Faraon i sav narod njegov, govori Gospod Gospod.
To whom art thou like, O thou that art famous and lofty among the trees of pleasure? Behold, thou art brought down with the trees of pleasure to the lowest parts of the earth: thou shalt sleep in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword: this is Pharao, and all his multitude, saith the Lord God.
