Jezekilj 31
1 A jedanaeste godine, treæega mjeseca, prvoga dana, doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
In the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 Sine èovjeèji, kaži Faraonu caru Misirskom i narodu njegovu: na što si nalik u velièini svojoj?
“Son of man, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt and his multitude: ‘Whom are you like in your 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 beautiful branches, and with a forest-like shade, of high stature; and its 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 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 Zato rast njegov nadvisi sva drveta poljska, i umnožiše se grane njegove, i od mnoštva vode raširiše se odvode njegove kad ih puštaše.
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 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 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 I bijaše lijep velièinom svojom i dužinom grana svojih, jer mu korijen bijaše kod velike vode.
Thus it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many 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 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 Uèinih ga lijepa mnoštvom grana da mu zaviðahu sva drveta Edemska što bijahu u vrtu Božijem.
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 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 said the Lord GOD: ‘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 Zato ga dadoh u ruku najsilnijemu meðu narodima da èini s njim što hoæe, odvrgoh ga za bezbožnost njegovu.
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 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.
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 Na izvaljenom panju njegovu stanuju sve ptice nebeske, i na granama su njegovijem sve zvijeri poljske,
All the birds of the sky will dwell on his ruin, and all the animals of the field will be on 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 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 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)
“The Lord GOD 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 GOD.”
