< حِزْقِيَال 31 >

وَكَانَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْحَادِيَةِ عَشَرَةَ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّالِثِ، فِي أَوَّلِ ٱلشَّهْرِ، أَنَّ كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانَ إِلَيَّ قَائِلًا: ١ 1
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
«يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، قُلْ لِفِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَجُمْهُورِهِ: مَنْ أَشْبَهْتَ فِي عَظَمَتِكَ؟ ٢ 2
Son of man, say to Pharao king of Egypt, and to his multitude; To whom hast thou compared thyself in thy haughtiness?
هُوَذَا أَعْلَى ٱلْأَرْزِ فِي لُبْنَانَ جَمِيلُ ٱلْأَغْصَانِ وَأَغْبَى ٱلظِّلِّ، وَقَامَتُهُ طَوِيلَةٌ، وَكَانَ فَرْعُهُ بَيْنَ ٱلْغُيُومِ. ٣ 3
Behold, the Assyrian was a cypress in Libanus, and was fair in shoots, and high in stature: his top reached to the midst of the clouds.
قَدْ عَظَّمَتْهُ ٱلْمِيَاهُ، وَرَفَعَهُ ٱلْغَمْرُ. أَنْهَارُهُ جَرَتْ مِنْ حَوْلِ مَغْرِسِهِ، وَأَرْسَلَتْ جَدَاوِلَهَا إِلَى كُلِّ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْحَقْلِ. ٤ 4
The water nourished him, the depth made him grow tall; she led her rivers round about his plants, and she sent forth her streams to all the trees of the field.
فَلِذَلِكَ ٱرْتَفَعَتْ قَامَتُهُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْحَقْلِ، وَكَثُرَتْ أَغْصَانُهُ، وَطَالَتْ فُرُوعُهُ لِكَثْرَةِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ إِذْ نَبَتَ. ٥ 5
Therefore was his stature exalted above all the trees of the field, and his branches spread far by the help of much water.
وَعَشَّشَتْ فِي أَغْصَانِهِ كُلُّ طُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَتَحْتَ فُرُوعِهِ وَلَدَتْ كُلُّ حَيَوَانِ ٱلْبَرِّ، وَسَكَنَ تَحْتَ ظِلِّهِ كُلُّ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ. ٦ 6
All the birds of the sky made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches all the wild beasts of the field bred; the whole multitude of nations dwelt under his shadow.
فَكَانَ جَمِيلًا فِي عَظَمَتِهِ وَفِي طُولِ قُضْبَانِهِ، لِأَنَّ أَصْلَهُ كَانَ عَلَى مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ. ٧ 7
And he was fair in his height by reason of the multitude of his branches: for his roots were amidst much water.
اَلْأَرْزُ فِي جَنَّةِ ٱللهِ لَمْ يَفُقْهُ، ٱلسَّرْوُ لَمْ يُشْبِهْ أَغْصَانَهُ، وَٱلدُّلْبُ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِثْلَ فُرُوعِهِ. كُلُّ ٱلْأَشْجَارِ فِي جَنَّةِ ٱللهِ لَمْ تُشْبِهْهُ فِي حُسْنِهِ. ٨ 8
And such cypresses [as this] were in the paradise of God; and there were no pines like his shoots, and there were no firs like his branches: no tree in the paradise of God was like him in his beauty,
جَعَلْتُهُ جَمِيلًا بِكَثْرَةِ قُضْبَانِهِ، حَتَّى حَسَدَتْهُ كُلُّ أَشْجَارِ عَدْنٍ ٱلَّتِي فِي جَنَّةِ ٱللهِ. ٩ 9
because of the multitude of his branches: and the trees of God's paradise of delight envied him.
«لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ ٱرْتَفَعَتْ قَامَتُكَ، وَقَدْ جَعَلَ فَرْعَهُ بَيْنَ ٱلْغُيُومِ، وَٱرْتَفَعَ قَلْبُهُ بِعُلُوِّهِ، ١٠ 10
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Because thou art grown great, and hast set thy top in the midst of the clouds, and I saw when he was exalted;
أَسْلَمْتُهُ إِلَى يَدِ قَوِيِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ، فَيَفْعَلُ بِهِ فِعْلًا. لِشَرِّهِ طَرَدْتُهُ. ١١ 11
therefore I delivered him into the hands of the prince of the nations, and he wrought his destruction.
وَيَسْتَأْصِلُهُ ٱلْغُرَبَاءُ عُتَاةُ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَيَتْرُكُونَهُ، فَتَتَسَاقَطُ قُضْبَانُهُ عَلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ وَفِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَوْدِيَةِ، وَتَنْكَسِرُ قُضْبَانُهُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ أَنْهَارِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَيَنْزِلُ عَنْ ظِلِّهِ كُلُّ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَيَتْرُكُونَهُ. ١٢ 12
And ravaging strangers from the nations have destroyed him, and have cast him down upon the mountains: his branches fell in all the valleys, and his boughs were broken in every field of the land; and all the people of the nations are gone down from their shelter, and have laid him low.
عَلَى هَشِيمِهِ تَسْتَقِرُّ جَمِيعُ طُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَجَمِيعُ حَيَوَانِ ٱلْبَرِّ تَكُونُ عَلَى قُضْبَانِهِ. ١٣ 13
All the birds of the sky have settled on his fallen trunk, and all the wild beasts of the field came upon his boughs:
لِكَيْلَا تَرْتَفِعَ شَجَرَةٌ مَّا وَهِيَ عَلَى ٱلْمِيَاهِ لِقَامَتِهَا، وَلَا تَجْعَلُ فَرْعَهَا بَيْنَ ٱلْغُيُومِ، وَلَا تَقُومُ بَلُّوطَاتُهَا فِي ٱرْتِفَاعِهَا كُلُّ شَارِبَةٍ مَاءً، لِأَنَّهَا قَدْ أُسْلِمَتْ جَمِيعًا إِلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ، إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلسُّفْلَى، فِي وَسْطِ بَنِي آدَمَ مَعَ ٱلْهَابِطِينَ فِي ٱلْجُبِّ. ١٤ 14
in order that none of the trees by the water should exalt themselves by reason of their size: whereas they set their top in the midst of the clouds, yet they continued not in their high state in their place, all that drank water, all were consigned to death, to the depth of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
هَكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: فِي يَوْمِ نُزُولِهِ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ أَقَمْتُ نَوْحًا. كَسَوْتُ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْغَمْرَ، وَمَنَعْتُ أَنْهَارَهُ، وَفَنِيَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ ٱلْكَثِيرَةُ، وَأَحْزَنْتُ لُبْنَانَ عَلَيْهِ، وَكُلُّ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْحَقْلِ ذَبُلَتْ عَلَيْهِ. (Sheol h7585) ١٥ 15
Thus saith the Lord God; In the day wherein he went down to Hades, the deep mourned for him: and I stayed her floods, and restrained her abundance of water: and Libanus saddened for him, all the trees of the field fainted for him. (Sheol h7585)
مِنْ صَوْتِ سُقُوطِهِ أَرْجَفْتُ ٱلْأُمَمَ عِنْدَ إِنْزَالِي إِيَّاهُ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ مَعَ ٱلْهَابِطِينَ فِي ٱلْجُبِّ، فَتَتَعَزَّى فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلسُّفْلَى كُلُّ أَشْجَارِ عَدْنٍ، مُخْتَارُ لُبْنَانَ وَخِيَارُهُ كُلُّ شَارِبَةٍ مَاءً. (Sheol h7585) ١٦ 16
At the sound of his fall the nations quaked, when I brought him down to Hades with them that go down to the pit: and all the trees of Delight comforted him in the heart, and the choice of [plants] of Libanus, all that drink water. (Sheol h7585)
هُمْ أَيْضًا نَزَلُوا إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ مَعَهُ، إِلَى ٱلْقَتْلَى بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَزَرْعُهُ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ تَحْتَ ظِلِّهِ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْأُمَمِ. (Sheol h7585) ١٧ 17
For they went down to hell with him among the slain with the sword; and his seed, [even] they that dwelt under his shadow, perished in the midst of their life. (Sheol h7585)
مَنْ أَشْبَهْتَ فِي ٱلْمَجْدِ وَٱلْعَظَمَةِ هَكَذَا بَيْنَ أَشْجَارِ عَدْنٍ؟ سَتُحْدَرُ مَعَ أَشْجَارِ عَدْنٍ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلسُّفْلَى، وَتَضْطَجِعُ بَيْنَ ٱلْغُلْفِ مَعَ ٱلْمَقْتُولِينَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ. هَذَا فِرْعَوْنُ وَكُلُّ جُمْهُورِهِ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ». ١٨ 18
To whom art thou compared? descend, and be thou debased with the trees of paradise to the depth of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword. Thus shall Pharao be, and the multitude of his host, saith the Lord God.
