Ezekiel 31
1 And it happened that, in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Y aconteció en el año onceno, en el mes tercero, al primero del mes, que fue palabra de Jehová a mí, diciendo:
2 “Son of man, speak to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and to his people: To whom can you be compared in your greatness?
Hijo del hombre, di a Faraón, rey de Egipto, y a su pueblo: ¿A quién te comparaste en tu grandeza?
3 Behold, Assur is like the cedar of Lebanon, with fair branches, and full of leaves, and of high stature, and his summit has been elevated above the thick branches.
He aquí el Asur, cedro en el Líbano, hermoso en ramas, y sombrío con sus ramos, y alto en grandeza, y su copa fue entre la espesura.
4 The waters have nourished him. The abyss has exalted him. Its rivers have flowed around his roots, and it has sent forth its streams to all the trees of the regions.
Las aguas le hicieron crecer, el abismo le encumbró: sus ríos iban al derredor de su pie, y a todos los árboles del campo enviaba sus corrientes.
5 Because of this, his height was exalted above all the trees of the regions, and his groves were multiplied, and his own branches were elevated, because of the many waters.
Por tanto se encumbró su altura sobre todos los árboles del campo, y sus ramos se multiplicaron, y sus ramas se alongaron a causa de sus muchas aguas que enviaba.
6 And when he had extended his shadow, all the birds of the air made their nests in his branches, and all the beasts of the forest conceived their young under his foliage, and an assembly of the many peoples lived under his shadow.
En sus ramas hacían nido todas las aves del cielo, y debajo de sus ramas parían todas las bestias del campo, y a su sombra habitaban muchas naciones.
7 And he was most beautiful in his greatness and in the expansion of his groves. For his root was near many waters.
Hízose hermoso en su grandeza con la longura de sus ramas; porque su raíz estaba junto a las muchas aguas.
8 The cedars in the Paradise of God were not higher than he was. The spruce trees were not equal to his summit, and the plane trees were not equal to his fullness. No tree in the Paradise of God was similar to him or to his beauty.
Los cedros no lo cubrieron en el huerto de Dios: hayas no fueron semejantes a sus ramas, ni castaños fueron semejantes a sus ramos: ningún árbol en el huerto de Dios fue semejante a él en su hermosura.
9 For I made him beautiful, and dense with many branches. And all the trees of delight, which were in the Paradise of God, were jealous of him.
Yo le hice hermoso con la multitud de sus ramas; y todos los árboles de Edén, que estaban en el huerto de Dios, tuvieron envidia de él.
10 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since he was sublime in height, and he made his summit green and dense, and his heart was exalted because of his height,
Por tanto así dijo el Señor Jehová: Por cuanto te encumbraste en altura, y puso su cumbre entre la espesura, y su corazón se elevó con su altura,
11 I have delivered him into the hands of the most powerful one among the Gentiles, so that he will deal with him. I have cast him out, in accord with his impiety.
Yo le entregué en mano del fuerte de las gentes, él le tratará: por su impiedad le derribé.
12 And foreigners, and the most cruel among the nations, will cut him down. And they will cast him on the mountains. And his branches will fall in every steep valley, and his grove will be broken apart on every cliff of the earth. And all the peoples of the earth will withdraw from his shadow, and abandon him.
Y extraños le cortarán, los fuertes de las naciones, y dejarlo han: sus ramas caerán sobre los montes, y por todos los valles, y por todos los arroyos de la tierra serán quebrados sus ramos; e irse han de su sombra todos los pueblos de la tierra, y dejarle han.
13 All the birds of the air lived upon his ruins, and all the beasts of the countryside were among his branches.
Sobre su ruina habitarán todas las aves del cielo, y sobre sus ramas estarán todas las bestias del campo.
14 For this reason, none of the trees among the waters will exalt themselves because of their height, nor will they place their summits above the thick branches and foliage, nor will any of those that are irrigated stand out because of their height. For they have all been delivered unto death, to the lowest part of the earth, into the midst of the sons of men, those who descend into the pit.
Porque no se eleven en su altura todos los árboles de las aguas, ni pongan su cumbre entre las espesuras, ni en sus ramas se paren en su altura todos los que beben aguas; porque todos serán entregados a muerte, a la tierra baja, en medio de los hijos de los hombres, con los que descienden a la sepultura.
15 Thus says the Lord God: In the day when he descended into hell, I led in grieving. I covered him with the abyss. And I held back its rivers, and I restrained the many waters. Lebanon was saddened over him, and all the trees of the field were struck together. (Sheol h7585)
Así dijo el Señor Jehová: El día que descendió al infierno, hice hacer luto, hice cubrir por él el abismo, y detuve sus ríos; y las muchas aguas fueron detenidas; y al Líbano cubrí de tinieblas por él, y todos los árboles del campo se desmayaron. (Sheol h7585)
16 I shook the Gentiles with the sound of his ruin, when I led him down to hell, with those who were descending into the pit. And all the trees of delights, the finest and best in Lebanon, all that were irrigated with waters, were consoled in the deepest parts of the earth. (Sheol h7585)
Del estruendo de su caída hice temblar las naciones, cuando le hice descender al infierno con los que descienden a la sepultura; y todos los árboles de Edén escogidos, y los mejores del Líbano, todos los que beben aguas, tomaron consolación en la tierra baja. (Sheol h7585)
17 For they, too, will descend with him into hell, to those who have been slain by the sword. And the arm of each one will reside under his shadow, in the midst of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
También ellos descendieron con él al infierno con los muertos a cuchillo, los que fueron su brazo, los que estuvieron a su sombra en medio de las gentes. (Sheol h7585)
18 To whom can you be compared, O famous and sublime one, among the trees of pleasure? Behold, you have been brought down, with the trees of pleasure, to the lowest part of the earth. You will sleep in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who have been slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh, and all his multitude, says the Lord God.”
¿A quién pues te has comparado así en gloria y en grandeza entre los árboles de Edén? Serás pues derribado con los árboles de Edén en la tierra baja: entre los incircuncisos yacerás con los muertos a cuchillo. Este es Faraón y todo su pueblo, dijo el Señor Jehová.
