Книга пророка Иезекииля 31
1 И бысть во единонадесятое лето, в третий месяц, во един день месяца, бысть слово Господне ко мне глаголя:
Now it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
2 сыне человечь, рцы фараону царю Египетску и множеству его: кому уподобил еси себе в высоте твоей?
Son of man, say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to his multitude: To 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 upon Lebanon, with fair branches; An overshadowing thicket, high of stature; And his top was among 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 waters made him high; Their streams went around their plantation, And sent forth their channels to 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 abundance of water 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.
In his boughs all the birds of heaven made their nests, And under his branches all the beasts of the field brought forth their young; And under his shadow dwelt all the great nations.
7 И бысть добр в высоте своей множества ради ветвий своих, яко беша корение его в воде мнозе.
Thus was he beautiful in his greatness, in the length of his branches; For his 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 him; The cypress-trees were not like his boughs, And the plane-trees were not like his branches. Not any tree in the garden of God Was like to him in his beauty.
9 Добра сотворих его во множестве ветвий его, и возревноваша ему древеса райская Сладости Божия.
I made him beautiful in the multitude of his branches, So that all the trees of Eden, which 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 Jehovah: Because he lifted himself up in stature, And shot up his top among the thick boughs, And his heart was lifted up on account of his height,
11 и предах его в руце князя языческа, и сотвори пагубу его, по нечестию его.
Therefore I delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations, To deal hardly with him; I drave 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, cut him off and cast him away. Upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches fell; And his boughs were broken in all the valleys of the land. And all the nations of the earth withdrew from his shadow and left him;
13 Во падении его почиша вся птицы небесныя, и на стеблиех его быша вси зверие селнии,
Upon his ruin dwelt all the birds of the heavens, And upon his branches were all the beasts of the forest.
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 Might exalt themselves for their stature, Nor shoot up their top among the thick boughs, And that none of the trees that drink water should cleave to them on account of their height; For all of them are delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, In the midst of the sons of men, To them that have gone 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 Jehovah: In the day when he went down to the grave, I caused the deep to mourn, I covered it for him; I restrained on account of him the streams, and the great waters were kept back; 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)
At the sound of his fall I made the nations to shake, When I cast him down to the grave, To them that have gone down to the pit; And all the trees of Eden, The choice and best of Lebanon, Even all that drink water, Were comforted in the lower 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 grave with him, To them that have been slain with the sword; They also that were his arm, That dwelt under his shadow among 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 greatness among the trees of Eden? Thou shalt be brought down with the trees of Eden To the lower parts of the earth; Thou shalt lie down in the midst of the uncircumcised, With them that are slain by the sword. Thus shall it be with Pharaoh and all his multitude, Saith the Lord Jehovah.
