Ezekiel 31

1And 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,

וַיְהִי בְּאַחַת עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה בַּשְּׁלִישִׁי בְּאֶחָד לַחֹדֶשׁ הָיָה דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹר׃ (2945)

2Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?

בֶּן־אָדָם אֱמֹר אֶל־פַּרְעֹה מֶלֶךְ־מִצְרַיִם וְאֶל־הֲמֹונֹו אֶל־מִי דָּמִיתָ בְגָדְלֶךָ׃ (1932)

3Behold, 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.

הִנֵּה אַשּׁוּר אֶרֶז בַּלְּבָנֹון יְפֵה עָנָף וְחֹרֶשׁ מֵצַל וּגְבַהּ קֹומָה וּבֵין עֲבֹתִים הָיְתָה צַמַּרְתֹּו׃ (3797)

4The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.

מַיִם גִּדְּלוּהוּ תְּהֹום רֹמְמָתְהוּ אֶת־נַהֲרֹתֶיהָ הֹלֵךְ סְבִיבֹות מַטָּעָהּ וְאֶת־תְּעָלֹתֶיהָ שִׁלְחָה אֶל כָּל־עֲצֵי הַשָּׂדֶה׃ (5246)

5Therefore 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.

עַל־כֵּן גָּבְהָא קֹמָתֹו מִכֹּל עֲצֵי הַשָּׂדֶה וַתִּרְבֶּינָה סַרְעַפֹּתָיו וַתֶּאֱרַכְנָה [פֹארֹתֹו כ] (פֹארֹתָיו ק) מִמַּיִם רַבִּים בְּשַׁלְּחֹו׃ (5714)

6All 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.

בִּסְעַפֹּתָיו קִנְנוּ כָּל־עֹוף הַשָּׁמַיִם וְתַחַת פֹּארֹתָיו יָלְדוּ כֹּל חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה וּבְצִלֹּו יֵשְׁבוּ כֹּל גֹּויִם רַבִּים׃ (4591)

7Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.

וַיְּיִף בְּגָדְלֹו בְּאֹרֶךְ דָּלִיֹּותָיו כִּי־הָיָה שָׁרְשֹׁו אֶל־מַיִם רַבִּים׃ (2069)

8The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.

אֲרָזִים לֹא־עֲמָמֻהוּ בְּגַן־אֱלֹהִים בְּרֹושִׁים לֹא דָמוּ אֶל־סְעַפֹּתָיו וְעַרְמֹנִים לֹא־הָיוּ כְּפֹארֹתָיו כָּל־עֵץ בְּגַן־אֱלֹהִים לֹא־דָמָה אֵלָיו בְּיָפְיֹו׃ (3658)

9I 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.

יָפֶה עֲשִׂיתִיו בְּרֹב דָּלִיֹּותָיו וַיְקַנְאֻהוּ כָּל־עֲצֵי־עֵדֶן אֲשֶׁר בְּגַן הָאֱלֹהִים׃ (2730)

10Therefore 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;

לָכֵן כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה יַעַן אֲשֶׁר גָּבַהְתָּ בְּקֹומָה וַיִּתֵּן צַמַּרְתֹּו אֶל־בֵּין עֲבֹותִים וְרָם לְבָבֹו בְּגָבְהֹו׃ (3778)

11I 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.

וְאֶתְּנֵהוּ בְּיַד אֵיל גֹּויִם עָשֹׂו יַעֲשֶׂה לֹו כְּרִשְׁעֹו גֵּרַשְׁתִּהוּ׃ (2891)

12And 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.

וַיִּכְרְתֻהוּ זָרִים עָרִיצֵי גֹויִם וַיִּטְּשֻׁהוּ אֶל־הֶהָרִים וּבְכָל־גֵּאָיֹות נָפְלוּ דָלִיֹּותָיו וַתִּשָּׁבַרְנָה פֹארֹתָיו בְּכֹל אֲפִיקֵי הָאָרֶץ וַיֵּרְדוּ מִצִּלֹּו כָּל־עַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ וַיִּטְּשֻׁהוּ׃ (6483)

13Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:

עַל־מַפַּלְתֹּו יִשְׁכְּנוּ כָּל־עֹוף הַשָּׁמָיִם וְאֶל־פֹּארֹתָיו הָיוּ כֹּל חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה׃ (3180)

14To 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.

לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יִגְבְּהוּ בְקֹומָתָם כָּל־עֲצֵי־מַיִם וְלֹא־יִתְּנוּ אֶת־צַמַּרְתָּם אֶל־בֵּין עֲבֹתִים וְלֹא־יַעַמְדוּ אֵלֵיהֶם בְּגָבְהָם כָּל־שֹׁתֵי מָיִם כִּי־כֻלָּם נִתְּנוּ לַמָּוֶת אֶל־אֶרֶץ תַּחְתִּית בְּתֹוךְ בְּנֵי אָדָם אֶל־יֹורְדֵי בֹור׃ (8736)

15Thus 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.

כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה בְּיֹום רִדְתֹּו שְׁאֹולָה הֶאֱבַלְתִּי כִּסֵּתִי עָלָיו אֶת־תְּהֹום וָאֶמְנַע נַהֲרֹותֶיהָ וַיִּכָּלְאוּ מַיִם רַבִּים וָאַקְדִּר עָלָיו לְבָנֹון וְכָל־עֲצֵי הַשָּׂדֶה עָלָיו עֻלְפֶּה׃ (5937)

16I 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.

מִקֹּול מַפַּלְתֹּו הִרְעַשְׁתִּי גֹויִם בְּהֹורִדִי אֹתֹו שְׁאֹולָה אֶת־יֹורְדֵי בֹור וַיִּנָּחֲמוּ בְּאֶרֶץ תַּחְתִּית כָּל־עֲצֵי־עֵדֶן מִבְחַר וְטֹוב־לְבָנֹון כָּל־שֹׁתֵי מָיִם׃ (6827)

17They 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.

גַּם־הֵם אִתֹּו יָרְדוּ שְׁאֹולָה אֶל־חַלְלֵי־חָרֶב וּזְרֹעֹו יָשְׁבוּ בְצִלֹּו בְּתֹוךְ גֹּויִם׃ (2598)

18To 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.

אֶל־מִי דָמִיתָ כָּכָה בְּכָבֹוד וּבְגֹדֶל בַּעֲצֵי־עֵדֶן וְהוּרַדְתָּ אֶת־עֲצֵי־עֵדֶן אֶל־אֶרֶץ תַּחְתִּית בְּתֹוךְ עֲרֵלִים תִּשְׁכַּב אֶת־חַלְלֵי־חֶרֶב הוּא פַרְעֹה וְכָל־הֲמֹונֹה נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה׃ (6711)
