Ezekiel 31

1 and to be in/on/with one ten year in/on/with third in/on/with one to/for month to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say

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,

2 son: child man to say to(wards) Pharaoh king Egypt and to(wards) crowd his to(wards) who? to resemble in/on/with greatness your

“Son of man, say to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and to his multitudes around him, 'In your greatness, who are you like?

3 behold Assyria cedar in/on/with Lebanon beautiful branch and wood to shade and high height and between: among cord to be treetop his

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.

4 water to magnify him abyss to exalt him [obj] river her to go: walk around plantation her and [obj] conduit her to send: depart to(wards) all tree [the] land: country

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.

5 upon so to exult height his from all tree [the] land: country and to multiply bough his and to prolong (bough his *QK) from water many in/on/with to send: depart he

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.

6 in/on/with bough his to make a nest all bird [the] heaven and underneath: under bough his to beget all living thing [the] land: country and in/on/with shadow his to dwell all nation many

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.

7 and be beautiful in/on/with greatness his in/on/with length branch his for to be root his to(wards) water many

For it was beautiful in its greatness and the length of its branches, for its roots were in many waters.

8 cedar not to darken him in/on/with garden God cypress not to resemble to(wards) bough his and plane tree not to be like/as bough his all tree in/on/with garden God not to resemble to(wards) him in/on/with beauty his

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.

9 beautiful to make him in/on/with abundance branch his and be jealous him all tree Eden which in/on/with garden [the] God

I made it beautiful with its many branches and all the trees of Eden that were in the garden of God envied it.

10 to/for so thus to say Lord YHWH/God because which to exult in/on/with height and to give: put treetop his to(wards) between: among cord and to exalt heart his in/on/with height his

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.

11 and to give: give him in/on/with hand: power leader nation to make: do to make: do to/for him like/as wickedness his to drive out: drive out him

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.

12 and to cut: cut him be a stranger ruthless nation and to leave him to(wards) [the] mountain: mount and in/on/with all valley to fall: fell(trees) branch his and to break bough his in/on/with all channel [the] land: country/planet and to go down from shadow his all people [the] land: country/planet and to leave him

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.

13 upon carcass his to dwell all bird [the] heaven and to(wards) bough his to be all living thing [the] land: country

All the birds of the sky rested on the trunk of the fallen tree, and every animal of the field came to its branches.

14 because which not to exult in/on/with height their all tree water and not to give: put [obj] treetop their to(wards) between: among cord and not to stand: rise terebinth their in/on/with height their all to drink water for all their to give: give to/for death to(wards) land: country/planet lower in/on/with midst son: child man to(wards) to go down pit

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.

15 thus to say Lord YHWH/God in/on/with day to go down he hell: Sheol [to] to mourn to cover upon him [obj] abyss and to withhold river her and to restrain water many and be dark upon him Lebanon and all tree [the] land: country upon him fainting (Sheol h7585)

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)

16 from voice: sound carcass his to shake nation in/on/with to go down I [obj] him hell: Sheol [to] with to go down pit and to be sorry: comfort in/on/with land: country/planet lower all tree Eden best and pleasant Lebanon all to drink water (Sheol h7585)

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)

17 also they(masc.) with him to go down hell: Sheol [to] to(wards) slain: killed sword and arm his to dwell in/on/with shadow his in/on/with midst nation (Sheol h7585)

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)

18 to(wards) who? to resemble thus in/on/with glory and in/on/with greatness in/on/with tree Eden and to go down with tree Eden to(wards) land: country/planet lower in/on/with midst uncircumcised to lie down: be dead with slain: killed sword he/she/it Pharaoh and all (crowd his *Qk) utterance Lord YHWH/God

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.”
