< حِزْقِيَال 31 >

وَكَانَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْحَادِيَةِ عَشَرَةَ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّالِثِ، فِي أَوَّلِ ٱلشَّهْرِ، أَنَّ كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانَ إِلَيَّ قَائِلًا: ١ 1
Then it came about in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
«يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، قُلْ لِفِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَجُمْهُورِهِ: مَنْ أَشْبَهْتَ فِي عَظَمَتِكَ؟ ٢ 2
“Son of man, say to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and to his multitudes around him, 'In your greatness, who are you like?
هُوَذَا أَعْلَى ٱلْأَرْزِ فِي لُبْنَانَ جَمِيلُ ٱلْأَغْصَانِ وَأَغْبَى ٱلظِّلِّ، وَقَامَتُهُ طَوِيلَةٌ، وَكَانَ فَرْعُهُ بَيْنَ ٱلْغُيُومِ. ٣ 3
Behold! Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon with beautiful branches, giving shade to the forest, and the tallest in height, and the branches formed its treetop.
قَدْ عَظَّمَتْهُ ٱلْمِيَاهُ، وَرَفَعَهُ ٱلْغَمْرُ. أَنْهَارُهُ جَرَتْ مِنْ حَوْلِ مَغْرِسِهِ، وَأَرْسَلَتْ جَدَاوِلَهَا إِلَى كُلِّ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْحَقْلِ. ٤ 4
Many waters made it tall; the deep waters made it huge. Rivers flowed all around its area, for their channels stretched out to all the trees in the field.
فَلِذَلِكَ ٱرْتَفَعَتْ قَامَتُهُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْحَقْلِ، وَكَثُرَتْ أَغْصَانُهُ، وَطَالَتْ فُرُوعُهُ لِكَثْرَةِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ إِذْ نَبَتَ. ٥ 5
Its great height was more than any of the other trees in the field, and its branches became very many; its branches grew long because of many waters as they grew.
وَعَشَّشَتْ فِي أَغْصَانِهِ كُلُّ طُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَتَحْتَ فُرُوعِهِ وَلَدَتْ كُلُّ حَيَوَانِ ٱلْبَرِّ، وَسَكَنَ تَحْتَ ظِلِّهِ كُلُّ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ. ٦ 6
Every bird of the heavens nested in its branches, while every living thing of the field gave birth to its young under its foliage. All of the many nations lived under its shade.
فَكَانَ جَمِيلًا فِي عَظَمَتِهِ وَفِي طُولِ قُضْبَانِهِ، لِأَنَّ أَصْلَهُ كَانَ عَلَى مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ. ٧ 7
For it was beautiful in its greatness and the length of its branches, for its roots were in many waters.
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
Cedars in the garden of God could not equal it. None among the cypress trees matched its branches, and the plane tree could not equal its boughs. There was no other tree in the garden of God that was like it in its beauty.
جَعَلْتُهُ جَمِيلًا بِكَثْرَةِ قُضْبَانِهِ، حَتَّى حَسَدَتْهُ كُلُّ أَشْجَارِ عَدْنٍ ٱلَّتِي فِي جَنَّةِ ٱللهِ. ٩ 9
I made it beautiful with its many branches and all the trees of Eden that were in the garden of God envied it.
«لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكَ ٱرْتَفَعَتْ قَامَتُكَ، وَقَدْ جَعَلَ فَرْعَهُ بَيْنَ ٱلْغُيُومِ، وَٱرْتَفَعَ قَلْبُهُ بِعُلُوِّهِ، ١٠ 10
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: Because it was tall in height, and it set its treetop between its branches, it lifted up its heart because of its height.
أَسْلَمْتُهُ إِلَى يَدِ قَوِيِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ، فَيَفْعَلُ بِهِ فِعْلًا. لِشَرِّهِ طَرَدْتُهُ. ١١ 11
I have given it into the hand of a mighty one of the nations, to deal with it according to what its wickedness deserves. I have thrown it out.
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
Foreigners who were the terror of all the nations cut it off and left it to die. Its branches fell on the mountains and all the valleys, and its boughs lay broken in all the ravines of the land. Then all the nations on earth came out from under its shade and they went away from it.
عَلَى هَشِيمِهِ تَسْتَقِرُّ جَمِيعُ طُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَجَمِيعُ حَيَوَانِ ٱلْبَرِّ تَكُونُ عَلَى قُضْبَانِهِ. ١٣ 13
All the birds of the sky rested on the trunk of the fallen tree, and every animal of the field came to its branches.
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
This happened so that no other trees that grow by the waters will lift up their foliage to the height of the tallest trees, and that no other trees that grow beside the waters will reach up to that height. All of them have been assigned to death, to the earth below, among the children of humanity, with those 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
The Lord Yahweh says this: On the day when the cedar went down to Sheol I brought mourning to the earth. I covered the deep waters over it, and I held back the ocean waters. I kept back the great waters, and I brought mourning to Lebanon for him. So all the trees of the field mourned because of it. (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
I brought shuddering to the nations at the sound of its downfall, when I threw it down to Sheol with those who went down into the pit. So I comforted all the trees of Eden in the lowest parts of the earth. These had been the choicest and best trees of Lebanon; the trees that drank the waters. (Sheol h7585)
هُمْ أَيْضًا نَزَلُوا إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ مَعَهُ، إِلَى ٱلْقَتْلَى بِٱلسَّيْفِ، وَزَرْعُهُ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ تَحْتَ ظِلِّهِ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْأُمَمِ. (Sheol h7585) ١٧ 17
For they also went down with it to Sheol, to the ones who had been killed by the sword. These were its strong arm, those nations who had lived in its shade. (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
Which of the trees in Eden was your equal in glory and greatness? For you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lowest parts of the earth among the uncircumcised; you will live with those who were killed by the sword.' This is Pharaoh and all of his multitudes—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
