Книга пророка Иезекииля 31
1 И бысть во единонадесятое лето, в третий месяц, во един день месяца, бысть слово Господне ко мне глаголя:
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 сыне человечь, рцы фараону царю Египетску и множеству его: кому уподобил еси себе в высоте твоей?
'Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: whom art thou like in thy greatness?
3 Се, Ассур кипарис в Ливане, добр отрасльми и высок величеством и част покровом, и среде облак бысть власть его:
Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon, with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of a high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs.
4 вода воспита его, бездна вознесе его, реки своя приведе окрест садов своих, и составы своя испусти во вся древеса полевая.
The waters nourished it, the deep made it to grow; her rivers ran round about her plantation, and she sent out her conduits unto all the trees of the field.
5 Сего ради вознесеся величество его паче всех древес польных, разширишася ветвие его, и вознесошася отрасли его от воды многи, егда протяжеся.
Therefore its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long, because of the multitude of waters, when it shot them forth.
6 Во отраслех его возгнездишася вся птицы небесныя, и под ветвьми его раждахуся вси зверие польнии, под сению его вселися все множество языков.
All the fowls of heaven made their nests in its boughs, and all the beasts of the field did bring forth their young under its branches, and under its shadow dwelt all great nations.
7 И бысть добр в высоте своей множества ради ветвий своих, яко беша корение его в воде мнозе.
Thus was it fair in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters.
8 И кипариси не таковы в раи Божии, и сосны неподобны отраслем его, и елие не бысть подобно ветвиям его: всякое древо, еже в раи Божии, не бысть подобно ему в доброте его, множества ради ветвий его.
The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the cypress-trees were not like its boughs, and the plane-trees were not as its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like unto it in its beauty.
9 Добра сотворих его во множестве ветвий его, и возревноваша ему древеса райская Сладости Божия.
I made it fair by the multitude of its branches; so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it.
10 Того ради сия глаголет Адонаи Господь: понеже был еси велик величеством и дал еси власть свою во средину облак, и вознесеся сердце его в высоте его, и видех, егда вознесеся:
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thou art exalted in stature, and he hath set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
11 и предах его в руце князя языческа, и сотвори пагубу его, по нечестию его.
I do even deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him; I do drive him out according to his wickedness.
12 И изгнах его Аз, и потребиша его чуждии губителие от язык, и повергоша его на горах: и во всех дебрех падоша ветви его, и сотрошася отрасли его на всяцем поли земнем, и снидоша от покрова его вси людие языков и разориша его.
And strangers, the terrible of the nations, do cut him off, and cast him down; upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs lie broken in all the channels of the land; and all the peoples of the earth do go down from his shadow, and do leave him.
13 Во падении его почиша вся птицы небесныя, и на стеблиех его быша вси зверие селнии,
Upon his carcass all the fowls of the heaven do dwell, and upon his branches are all the beasts of the field;
14 яко да не возносятся величеством своим вся древеса, яже в воде, и не дадят власти своея среде облак, и не станут в высоте их к нему вси пиющии воду, вси отдани быша во смерть во глубину земли, среде сынов человеческих к низходящым в пропасть.
to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, neither set their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones stand up in their height, even 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 Сия глаголет Адонаи Господь: в оньже день сведеся во ад, плакася о нем бездна: и удержах реки ея и возбраних множеству вод, и померче о нем Ливан, и вся древеса полевая о нем разслабишася: (Sheol h7585)
Thus saith the Lord GOD: In the day when he went down to the nether-world I caused the deep to mourn and cover itself for him, and I restrained the rivers 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 от гласа падения его потрясошася языцы, егда свождах его во ад со снизходящими в ров, и утешаху его в земли долнейшей вся древеса Сладости, и избранная и добрая Ливанова, вся пиющая воду: (Sheol h7585)
I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to the nether-world with them that descend into the pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the nether parts of the earth. (Sheol h7585)
17 и та бо сведошася с ним во ад со язвеными от меча, и семя его, и живущии под покровом его среде жизни своея погибоша. (Sheol h7585)
They also went down into the nether-world with him unto them that are slain by the sword; yea, they that were in his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
18 Кому уподобился еси силою и славою и величеством во древесех Сладости? Слези и сниди со древесами Сладости во глубину земную: среде необрезаных успнеши со язвеными мечем: тако фараон и все множество крепости его, глаголет Адонаи Господь.
To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shall 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 are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.'
