Ezekiel 31
1 Now in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
A jedanaeste godine, treæega mjeseca, prvoga dana, doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
2 Son of man, say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to his people; Whom are you like in your great power?
Sine èovjeèji, kaži Faraonu caru Misirskom i narodu njegovu: na što si nalik u velièini svojoj?
3 See, a pine-tree with beautiful branches and thick growth, giving shade and very tall; and its top was among the clouds.
Eto, Asirac bješe kedar na Livanu, lijepijeh grana i debela hlada i visoka rasta, kojemu vrhovi bijahu meðu gustijem granama.
4 It got strength from the waters and the deep made it tall: its streams went round about its planted land and it sent out its waterways to all the trees of the field.
Voda ga odgoji, bezdana ga uzvisi; ona rijekama svojim tecijaše oko njegova stabla i puštaše potoke svoje k svijem drvetima poljskim.
5 In this way it became taller than all the trees of the field; and its branches were increased and its arms became long because of the great waters.
Zato rast njegov nadvisi sva drveta poljska, i umnožiše se grane njegove, i od mnoštva vode raširiše se odvode njegove kad ih puštaše.
6 In its branches all the birds of heaven came to rest, and under its arms all the beasts of the field gave birth to their young, and great nations were living in its shade.
Na granama njegovijem vijahu gnijezda sve ptice nebeske, i pod granama njegovijem sve zvijeri poljske lezijahu se, i u hladu njegovu sjeðahu svi veliki narodi.
7 So it was beautiful, being so tall and its branches so long, for its root was by great waters.
I bijaše lijep velièinom svojom i dužinom grana svojih, jer mu korijen bijaše kod velike vode.
8 No cedars were equal to it in the garden of God; the fir-trees were not like its branches, and plane-trees were as nothing in comparison with its arms; no tree in the garden of God was so beautiful.
Kedri u vrtu Božijem ne mogahu ga zakloniti, jele ne mogahu se izjednaèiti s njegovijem granama, i javori ne bijahu kao ogranci njegovi; nijedno drvo u vrtu Božijem ne bješe na ljepotu tako kao on.
9 I made it beautiful with its mass of branches: so that all the trees in the garden of God were full of envy of it.
Uèinih ga lijepa mnoštvom grana da mu zaviðahu sva drveta Edemska što bijahu u vrtu Božijem.
10 For this cause the Lord has said: Because he is tall, and has put his top among the clouds, and his heart is full of pride because he is so high,
Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: što je visok narastao, i digao vrh svoj meðu guste grane, i srce se njegovo ponijelo visinom njegovom,
11 I have given him up into the hands of a strong one of the nations; he will certainly give him the reward of his sin, driving him out.
Zato ga dadoh u ruku najsilnijemu meðu narodima da èini s njim što hoæe, odvrgoh ga za bezbožnost njegovu.
12 And men from strange lands, who are to be feared among the nations, after cutting him off, have let him be: on the mountains and in all the valleys his branches have come down; his arms are broken by all the waterways of the land; all the peoples of the earth have gone from his shade, and have let him be.
I tuðinci, najljuæi izmeðu naroda, posjekoše ga i ostaviše ga; grane mu popadaše po gorama i po svijem dolinama, i ogranci mu se izlomiše po svijem potocima na zemlji; i svi narodi zemaljski otidoše iz hlada njegova i ostaviše ga.
13 All the birds of heaven have come to rest on his broken stem where it is stretched on the earth, and all the beasts of the field will be on his branches:
Na izvaljenom panju njegovu stanuju sve ptice nebeske, i na granama su njegovijem sve zvijeri poljske,
14 In order that no trees by the waters may be lifted up in their growth, putting their tops among the clouds; and that no trees which are watered may take their place on high: for they are all given up to death, to the lowest parts of the earth among the children of men, with those who go down to the underworld.
Da se ne ponosi visinom svojom nijedno drvo kraj vode i ne diže vrha svojega meðu guste grane, i od svijeh što se natapaju da se nijedno ne uzda u se radi svoje velièine; jer su svi predani na smrt, baèeni u najdonji kraj zemlje meðu sinove ljudske s onima koji slaze u jamu.
15 This is what the Lord has said: The day when he goes down to the underworld, I will make the deep full of grief for him; I will keep back her streams and the great waters will be stopped: I will make Lebanon dark for him, and all the trees of the field will be feeble because of him. (Sheol h7585)
Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: u koji dan side u grob, uèinih žalost, pokrih bezdanu njega radi, i ustavih rijeke njezine, i velika voda stade, i rascvijelih za njim Livan, i sva drveta poljska povenuše za njim. (Sheol h7585)
16 I will send shaking on the nations at the sound of his fall, when I send him down to the underworld with those who go down into the deep: and on earth they will be comforting themselves, all the trees of Eden, the best of Lebanon, even all the watered ones. (Sheol h7585)
Praskom padanja njegova ustresoh narode, kad ga svalih u grob s onima koji slaze u jamu; i utješiše se na najdonjoj strani zemlje sva drveta Edemska, što je najbolje i najljepše na Livanu, sva što se natapahu. (Sheol h7585)
17 And they will go down with him to the underworld, to those who have been put to the sword; even those who were his helpers, living under his shade among the nations (Sheol h7585)
I oni sidoše s njim u grob k onima što su pobijeni maèem, i mišica njegova, i koji sjeðahu u hladu njegovu meðu narodima. (Sheol h7585)
18 Whom then are you like? for you will be sent down with the trees of Eden into the lowest parts of the earth: there you will be stretched out among those without circumcision, with those who were put to the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his people, says the Lord.
Na koje si meðu drvetima Edemskim nalik slavom i velièinom? Ali æeš biti oboren s drvetima Edemskim u najdonji kraj zemlje, meðu neobrezanima æeš ležati s onima koji su pobijeni maèem. To je Faraon i sav narod njegov, govori Gospod Gospod.
