Ezekiel 31 (WEBP)

[1] In the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
[2] “Son of man, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt and his multitude: ‘Whom are you like in your greatness?
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[7] Thus it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters.
[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.
[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.’
[10] “Therefore thus said the Lord Yahweh: ‘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,
[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.
[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.
[13] All the birds of the sky will dwell on his ruin, and all the animals of the field will be on his branches,
[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.’
[15] “The Lord Yahweh 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.
[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.
[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.
[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 Yahweh.”

Ezekiel 31 (KJVS)

[1] And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, ()
[2] Son of man, speak () unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like () in thy greatness?
[3] Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing () shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.
[4] The waters made him great, () the deep set him up on high () with her rivers running () round about his plants, and sent out () her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.
[5] Therefore his height was exalted () above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, () and his branches became long () because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth. ()
[6] All the fowls of heaven made their nests () in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, () and under his shadow dwelt () all great nations.
[7] Thus was he fair () in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.
[8] The cedars in the garden of God could not hide () him: the fir trees were not like () his boughs, and the chesnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like () unto him in his beauty.
[9] I have made () him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied () him.
[10] Therefore thus saith () the Lord God; Because thou hast lifted up () thyself in height, and he hath shot up () his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up () in his height;
[11] I have therefore delivered () him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely () deal () with him: I have driven him out () for his wickedness.
[12] And strangers, () the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, () and have left () him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, () and his boughs are broken () by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down () from his shadow, and have left () him.
[13] Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, () and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
[14] to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt () themselves for their height, neither shoot up () their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up () in their height, all that drink () water: for they are all delivered () unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down () to the pit.
[15] Thus saith () the Lord God; In the day when he went down () to the grave I caused a mourning: () I covered () the deep for him, and I restrained () the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: () and I caused Lebanon to mourn () for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.
[16] I made the nations to shake () at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down () to hell with them that descend () into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink () water, shall be comforted () in the nether parts of the earth.
[17] They also went down () into hell with him unto them that be slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt () under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.
[18] To whom art thou thus like () in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down () with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie () in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith () the Lord God.

[1] και εγενετο εν τω ενδεκατω ετει εν τω τριτω μηνι μια του μηνος εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων
[2] υιε ανθρωπου ειπον προς φαραω βασιλεα αιγυπτου και τω πληθει αυτου τινι ωμοιωσας σεαυτον εν τω υψει σου
[3] ιδου ασσουρ κυπαρισσος εν τω λιβανω και καλος ταις παραφυασιν και υψηλος τω μεγεθει εις μεσον νεφελων εγενετο η αρχη αυτου
[4] υδωρ εξεθρεψεν αυτον η αβυσσος υψωσεν αυτον τους ποταμους αυτης ηγαγεν κυκλω των φυτων αυτου και τα συστεματα αυτης εξαπεστειλεν εις παντα τα ξυλα του πεδιου
[5] ενεκεν τουτου υψωθη το μεγεθος αυτου παρα παντα τα ξυλα του πεδιου και επλατυνθησαν οι κλαδοι αυτου αφ υδατος πολλου
[6] εν ταις παραφυασιν αυτου ενοσσευσαν παντα τα πετεινα του ουρανου και υποκατω των κλαδων αυτου εγεννωσαν παντα τα θηρια του πεδιου εν τη σκια αυτου κατωκησεν παν πληθος εθνων
[7] και εγενετο καλος εν τω υψει αυτου δια το πληθος των κλαδων αυτου οτι εγενηθησαν αι ριζαι αυτου εις υδωρ πολυ
[8] κυπαρισσοι τοιαυται ουκ εγενηθησαν εν τω παραδεισω του θεου και πιτυες ουχ ομοιαι ταις παραφυασιν αυτου και ελαται ουκ εγενοντο ομοιαι τοις κλαδοις αυτου παν ξυλον εν τω παραδεισω του θεου ουχ ωμοιωθη αυτω εν τω καλλει αυτου
[9] δια το πληθος των κλαδων αυτου και εζηλωσεν αυτον τα ξυλα του παραδεισου της τρυφης του θεου
[10] δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος ανθ ων εγενου μεγας τω μεγεθει και εδωκας την αρχην σου εις μεσον νεφελων και ειδον εν τω υψωθηναι αυτον
[11] και παρεδωκα αυτον εις χειρας αρχοντος εθνων και εποιησεν την απωλειαν αυτου
[12] και εξωλεθρευσαν αυτον αλλοτριοι λοιμοι απο εθνων και κατεβαλον αυτον επι των ορεων εν πασαις ταις φαραγξιν επεσαν οι κλαδοι αυτου και συνετριβη τα στελεχη αυτου εν παντι πεδιω της γης και κατεβησαν απο της σκεπης αυτων παντες οι λαοι των εθνων και ηδαφισαν αυτον
[13] επι την πτωσιν αυτου ανεπαυσαντο παντα τα πετεινα του ουρανου και επι τα στελεχη αυτου εγενοντο παντα τα θηρια του αγρου
[14] οπως μη υψωθωσιν εν τω μεγεθει αυτων παντα τα ξυλα τα εν τω υδατι και ουκ εδωκαν την αρχην αυτων εις μεσον νεφελων και ουκ εστησαν εν τω υψει αυτων προς αυτα παντες οι πινοντες υδωρ παντες εδοθησαν εις θανατον εις γης βαθος εν μεσω υιων ανθρωπων προς καταβαινοντας εις βοθρον
[15] ταδε λεγει κυριος κυριος εν η ημερα κατεβη εις αδου επενθησεν αυτον η αβυσσος και επεστησα τους ποταμους αυτης και εκωλυσα πληθος υδατος και εσκοτασεν επ αυτον ο λιβανος παντα τα ξυλα του πεδιου επ αυτω εξελυθησαν
[16] απο της φωνης της πτωσεως αυτου εσεισθησαν τα εθνη οτε κατεβιβαζον αυτον εις αδου μετα των καταβαινοντων εις λακκον και παρεκαλουν αυτον εν γη παντα τα ξυλα της τρυφης και τα εκλεκτα του λιβανου παντα τα πινοντα υδωρ
[17] και γαρ αυτοι κατεβησαν μετ αυτου εις αδου εν τοις τραυματιαις απο μαχαιρας και το σπερμα αυτου οι κατοικουντες υπο την σκεπην αυτου εν μεσω της ζωης αυτων απωλοντο
[18] τινι ωμοιωθης καταβηθι και καταβιβασθητι μετα των ξυλων της τρυφης εις γης βαθος εν μεσω απεριτμητων κοιμηθηση μετα τραυματιων μαχαιρας ουτως φαραω και το πληθος της ισχυος αυτου λεγει κυριος κυριος
