Jezekilj 31
1 A jedanaeste godine, treæega mjeseca, prvoga dana, doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
AND it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Sine èovjeèji, kaži Faraonu caru Misirskom i narodu njegovu: na što si nalik u velièini svojoj?
Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; 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 a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was 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 made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.
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 his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.
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.
All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.
7 I bijaše lijep velièinom svojom i dužinom grana svojih, jer mu korijen bijaše kod velike vode.
Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by 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 garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chesnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
9 Uèinih ga lijepa mnoštvom grana da mu zaviðahu sva drveta Edemska što bijahu u vrtu Božijem.
I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden 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 thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is 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 therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for 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, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
13 Na izvaljenom panju njegovu stanuju sve ptice nebeske, i na granama su njegovijem sve zvijeri poljske,
Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon 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.
To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to 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 the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. (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 made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether 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)
They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen. (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 thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord God.
