Ezekiel 31
1 In the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
А једанаесте године, трећег месеца, првог дана, дође ми реч Господња говорећи:
2 “Son of man, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt and his multitude: ‘Whom are you like in your greatness?
Сине човечји, кажи Фараону цару мисирском и народу његовом: На шта си налик у величини својој?
3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with beautiful branches, and with a forest-like shade, of high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs.
Ето, Асирац беше кедар на Ливану, лепих грана и дебелог хлада и високог раста, коме врхови беху међу густим гранама.
4 The waters nourished it. The deep made it to grow. Its rivers ran all around its plantation. It sent out its channels to all the trees of the field.
Вода га одгоји, бездана га узвиси; она рекама својим течаше око његовог стабла и пушташе потоке своје к свим дрветима пољским.
5 Therefore its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied. Its branches became long by reason of many waters, when it spread them out.
Зато раст његов надвиси сва дрвета пољска, и умножише се гране његове, и од мноштва воде раширише се одводе његове кад их пушташе.
6 All the birds of the sky made their nests in its boughs. Under its branches, all the animals of the field gave birth to their young. All great nations lived under its shadow.
На гранама његовим вијаху гнезда све птице небеске, и под гранама његовим све звери пољске лежаху се, и у хладу његовом сеђаху сви велики народи.
7 Thus it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters.
И беше леп величином својом и дужином грана својих, јер му корен беше код велике воде.
8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it. The cypress trees were not like its branches. The pine trees were not like its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like it in its beauty.
Кедри у врту Божјем не могаху га заклонити, јеле не могаху се изједначити с његовим гранама, и јавори не беху као огранци његови; ниједно дрво у врту Божјем не беше на лепоту тако као он.
9 I made it beautiful by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it.’
Учиних га лепог мноштвом грана да му завиђаху сва дрвета едемска што беху у врту Божјем.
10 “Therefore thus said the Lord GOD: ‘Because he is exalted in stature, and he has set his top among the thick branches, and his heart is lifted up in his height,
Зато овако вели Господ Господ: Што је висок нарастао, и дигао врх свој међу густе гране, и срце се његово понело висином његовом,
11 I will deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations. He will surely deal with him. I have driven him out for his wickedness.
Зато га дадох у руку најсилнијем међу народима да чини с њим шта хоће, одвргох га за безбожност његову.
12 Foreigners, the tyrants of the nations, have cut him off and have left him. His branches have fallen on the mountains and in all the valleys, and his boughs are broken by all the watercourses of the land. All the peoples of the earth have gone down from his shadow and have left him.
И туђинци, најљући између народа, посекоше га и оставише га; гране му попадаше по горама и по свим долинама, и огранци му се изломише по свим потоцима на земљи; и сви народи земаљски отидоше из хлада његовог и оставише га.
13 All the birds of the sky will dwell on his ruin, and all the animals of the field will be on his branches,
На изваљеном пању његовом станују све птице небеске, и на гранама су његовим све звери пољске,
14 to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, and don’t set their top among the thick boughs. Their mighty ones don’t stand up on their height, even all who drink water; for they are all delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, among the children of men, with those who go down to the pit.’
Да се не поноси висином својом ни једно дрво крај воде и не диже врха свог међу густе гране, и од свих што се натапају да се ни једно не узда у себе ради своје величине; јер су сви предани на смрт, бачени у најдоњи крај земље међу синове људске с онима који силазе у јаму.
15 “The Lord GOD says: ‘In the day when he went down to Sheol, I caused a mourning. I covered the deep for him, and I restrained its rivers. The great waters were stopped. I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. (Sheol h7585)
Овако вели Господ Господ: У који дан сиђе у гроб, учиних жалост, покрих бездану њега ради, и уставих реке њене, и велика вода стаде, и расцвелих за њим Ливан, и сва дрвета пољска повенуше за њим. (Sheol h7585)
16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol with those who descend into the pit. All the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the lower parts of the earth. (Sheol h7585)
Праском падања његовог устресох народе, кад га свалих у гроб с онима који силазе у јаму; и утешише се на најдоњој страни земље сва дрвета едемска, што је најбоље и најлепше на Ливану, сва што се натапаху. (Sheol h7585)
17 They also went down into Sheol with him to those who are slain by the sword; yes, those who were his arm, who lived under his shadow in the middle of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
И они сиђоше с њим у гроб к онима што су побијени мачем, и мишица његова, и који сеђаху у хладу његовом међу народима. (Sheol h7585)
18 “‘To whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? Yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lower parts of the earth. You will lie in the middle of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword. “‘This is Pharaoh and all his multitude,’ says the Lord GOD.”
На које си међу дрветима едемским налик славом и величином? Али ћеш бити оборен с дрветима едемским у најдоњи крај земље, међу необрезанима ћеш лежати с онима који су побијени мачем. То је Фараон и сав народ његов, говори Господ Господ.
