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, speak 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 an high stature; and his 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 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 Сего ради вознесеся величество его паче всех древес польных, разширишася ветвие его, и вознесошася отрасли его от воды многи, егда протяжеся.
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 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 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 И бысть добр в высоте своей множества ради ветвий своих, яко беша корение его в воде мнозе.
Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great 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 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 Добра сотворих его во множестве ветвий его, и возревноваша ему древеса райская Сладости Божия.
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 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 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 и предах его в руце князя языческа, и сотвори пагубу его, по нечестию его.
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 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, 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 Во падении его почиша вся птицы небесныя, и на стеблиех его быша вси зверие селнии,
Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
