Ezekiel 31
1 In pripetilo se je v enajstem letu, v tretjem mesecu, na prvi dan meseca, da je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
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 »Človeški sin, spregovori faraonu, egiptovskemu kralju in njegovi množici: ›Komu si podoben v svoji veličini?
Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
3 Glej, Asirec je bil cedra na Libanonu, z lepimi mladikami in s senčnato kopreno in visoke rasti; in njegov vrh je bil med debelimi vejami.
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 Vode so ga naredile velikega, globina ga je s svojimi rekami, ki tečejo naokoli njegovih rastlin, postavila gor na višavo in pošiljala ven svoje majhne reke do vseh poljskih dreves.
The waters nourished him, the deep made him to grow: her rivers ran round about her plantation; and she sent out her channels unto all the trees of the field.
5 Zatorej je bila njegova višina povišana nad vsa poljska drevesa in njegove veje so bile pomnožene in njegove mladike so postale dolge zaradi obilice voda, ko je poganjal.
Therefore his stature was exalted above all the trees of the field: and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long by reason of many waters, when he shot [them] forth.
6 Vsa perjad neba je naredila svoja gnezda v njegovih vejah in pod njegovimi mladikami so vse živali polja kotile svoje mlade in pod njegovo senco so prebivali vsi 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 Tako je bil lep v svoji veličini, v dolžini svojih mladik, kajti njegova korenina je bila ob velikih vodah.
Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by many waters.
8 Cedre v Božjem vrtu ga niso mogle skriti. Ciprese niso bile podobne njegovim vejam in kostanjeva drevesa niso bila podobna njegovim mladikam; niti katerokoli drevo v Božjem vrtu ni bilo podobno njemu v njegovi lepoti.
The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the plane trees were not as his branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like unto him in his beauty.
9 Naredil sem ga lepega z množico njegovih mladik, tako da so mu vsa edenska drevesa, ki so bila v Božjem vrtu, zavidala.‹
I 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 tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Ker si se povzdigoval na višino in je svoj vrh poganjal med debelimi vejami in je njegovo srce povzdignjeno na njegovo višino;
Therefore thus said 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 zato sem ga izročil v roko mogočnega izmed poganov; zagotovo bo obračunal z njim. Ven sem ga izgnal zaradi njegove zlobnosti.
I will even deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
12 In tujci, strašni izmed narodov, so ga odrezali in ga zapustili. Po gorah in po vseh dolinah so padle njegove mladike in njegove veje so zlomljene ob vseh rekah dežele; in vsa ljudstva zemlje so šla dol iz njegove sence in ga zapustila.
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 watercourses of the land; and all the peoples of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
13 Na njegovem uničenju bo ostala vsa perjad neba in vse živali polja bodo na njegovih mladikah,
Upon his ruin all the fowls of the heaven shall dwell, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
14 z namenom, da se nobeno izmed vseh dreves ob vodah ne bo povzdigovalo zaradi svoje višine niti svojega vrha poganjalo med debele veje niti ne bodo njihova drevesa stala na njihovi višini, vsa, ki pijejo vodo, kajti vsa so izročena smrti, k spodnjim delom zemlje, v sredo človeških otrok, s tistimi, ki gredo dol k jami.‹
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 Tako govori Gospod Bog: ›Na dan, ko je šel dol do groba, sem povzročil žalovanje. Zanj sem pokril globino in omejil njegove tokove in velike vode so bile ustavljene. Libanonu sem storil, da je žaloval za njim in vsa poljska drevesa so medlela zaradi njega. (Sheol h7585)
Thus saith the Lord GOD: In the day when he went down to hell I caused a mourning: I covered the deep 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 Narodom sem storil, da se tresejo ob zvoku njegovega padca, ko sem ga vrgel dol do pekla, s tistimi, ki se spuščajo v jamo in vsa edenska drevesa, izbrana in najboljša iz Libanona, vsa, ki pijejo vodo, bodo potolažena v spodnjih delih zemlje. (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, were comforted in the nether parts of the earth. (Sheol h7585)
17 Tudi oni so z njim odšli dol v pekel, k tistim, ki so umorjeni z mečem; in tisti, ki so bili njegov laket, ki so prebivali pod njegovo senco v sredi narodov. (Sheol h7585)
They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain by the sword; yea, they that were his arm, [that] dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
18 Komu si ti tako podoben v slavi in v veličini med edenskimi drevesi? Vendar boš z edenskimi drevesi priveden dol v spodnje dele zemlje. Ležal boš v sredi neobrezancev, s tistimi, ki so umorjeni z mečem. To je faraon in vsa njegova množica, ‹ govori Gospod Bog.‹«
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.
