Ezekiel 31

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 On the first day of the third month in the eleventh year, the word of the LORD came to me:	1 Και εν τω ενδεκατω ετει, τω τριτω μηνι, τη πρωτη του μηνος, εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων,
2 Son of man, say to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and to his hordes: What are you like in your greatness?	2 Υιε ανθρωπου, ειπε προς τον Φαραω βασιλεα της Αιγυπτου και προς το πληθος αυτου? Με ποιον ωμοιωθης εν τη μεγαλειοτητι σου;
3 Behold, a cypress (cedar) in Lebanon, beautiful of branch, lofty of stature, amid the very clouds lifted its crest.	3 Ιδου, ο Ασσυριος ητο κεδρος εν τω Λιβανω με κλαδους ωραιους, και πυκνος την σκιαν και υψηλος το μεγεθος, και η κορυφη αυτου ητο εν μεσω κλαδων πυκνων.
4 Waters made it grow, the abyss made it flourish, sending its rivers round where it was planted, turning its streams to all the trees of the field.	4 Τα υδατα ηυξησαν αυτον, η αβυσσος υψωσεν αυτον με τους ποταμους αυτης τους ρεοντας κυκλω των φυτων αυτου, και εξεπεμπε τους ρυακας αυτης εις παντα τα δενδρα του αγρου.
5 Thus it grew taller than every other tree of the field, and longer of branch because of the abundant water.	5 Οθεν το υψος εαυτου ανεβη υπερανω παντων των δενδρων του αγρου και οι κλωνοι αυτου επληθυναν και οι κλαδοι αυτου εξετανθησαν δια το πληθος των υδατων, ενω εβλαστανε.
6 In its boughs nested all the birds of the air, under its branches all beasts of the field gave birth, in its shade dwelt numerous peoples of every race.	6 Παντα τα πετεινα του ουρανου εφωλευον εν τοις κλωνοις αυτου, και παντα τα ζωα του αγρου εγεννων υπο τους κλαδους αυτου? υπο δε την σκιαν αυτου κατωκουν παντα τα μεγαλα εθνη.
7 It became beautiful and stately in its spread of foliage, for its roots were turned toward abundant water.	7 Ητο λοιπον ωραιος κατα το μεγεθος αυτου και κατα την εκτασιν των κλαδων αυτου, διοτι αι ριζαι αυτου ησαν πλησιον υδατων πολλων.
8 The cedars in the garden of God were not its equal, nor could the fir trees match its boughs, Neither were the plane trees like it for branches; no tree in the garden of God matched its beauty.	8 Αι κεδροι εν τω παραδεισω του Θεου δεν ηδυναντο να κρυψωσιν αυτον? αι ελατοι δεν εξισουντο με τους κλωνους αυτου, και αι καστανοι δεν εξισουντο με τους κλαδους αυτου? ουδεν δενδρον εν τω παραδεισω του Θεου ωμοιαζεν αυτον κατα την ωραιοτητα αυτου.
9 I made it beautiful, with much foliage, the envy of all Eden's trees in the garden of God.	9 Εκαμον αυτον ωραιον κατα το πληθος των κλαδων αυτου, ωστε παντα τα δενδρα της Εδεμ, τα εν τω παραδεισω του Θεου, εζηλευον αυτον.
10 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because it became lofty in stature, raising its crest among the clouds, and because it became proud in heart at its height,	10 Δια τουτο ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος? Επειδη υψωσας σεαυτον υψηλα, και επειδη εσηκωσε την κορυφην αυτου μεταξυ των πυκνων κλωνων και η καρδια αυτου επηρθη εις το υψος αυτου,
11 I have handed it over to the mightiest of the nations, which has dealt with it in keeping with its wickedness. I humiliated it.	11 δια τουτο παρεδωκα αυτον εις την χειρα του δυναστου των εθνων, οστις θελει φερθη αξιως προς αυτον? απεβαλον αυτον δια την ασεβειαν αυτου.
12 Foreigners, the most ruthless of the nations, cut it down and left it on the mountains. Its foliage was brought low in all the valleys, its branches lay broken in all the ravines of the land, and all the peoples of the land withdrew from its shade, abandoning it.	12 Και ξενοι, οι τρομερωτεροι των εθνων, εκοψαν αυτον και εγκατελιπον αυτον? οι κλαδοι αυτου επεσον επι τα ορη και εν πασαις ταις φαραγξι και οι κλωνοι αυτου συνετριφθησαν υπο παντων των ποταμων της γης, και παντες οι λαοι της γης κατεβησαν απο της σκιας αυτου και εγκατελιπον αυτον.
13 On its fallen trunk rested all the birds of the air, and by its branches were all the beasts of the field.	13 Επι του πτωματος αυτου θελουσιν επικαθησθαι παντα τα πετεινα του ουρανου και επι τους κλαδους αυτου θελουσιν εισθαι παντα τα ζωα του αγρου?
14 Thus no tree may grow lofty in stature or raise its crest among the clouds; no tree fed by water may stand by itself in its loftiness. For all of them are destined for death, for the land below, For the company of mortals, those who go down into the pit.	14 δια να μη υψωθη εν τω υψει αυτου ουδεν εκ των δενδρων των υδατων μηδε να σηκωσωσι την κορυφην αυτων μεταξυ των πυκνων κλαδων, και εκ παντων των πινοντων υδωρ, ουδεν εκ τουτων να μη στεκηται εν τω υψει αυτου? διοτι παντα παρεδοθησαν εις τον θανατον, εις τα κατωτατα της γης, εν μεσω των υιων των ανθρωπων, μετα των καταβαινοντων εις λακκον.
15 Thus says the Lord GOD: On the day he went down to the nether world I made the abyss close up over him; I stopped its streams so that the deep waters were held back. I cast gloom over Lebanon because of him, so that all the trees in the land drooped on his account.	15 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος? Καθ' ην ημεραν κατεβη εις τον αδην, εκαμον να γεινη πενθος? εσκεπασα την αβυσσον δι' αυτον και εμποδισα τους ποταμους αυτης και τα μεγαλα υδατα εκρατηθησαν? και εκαμον να πενθηση ο Λιβανος δι' αυτον και παντα τα δενδρα του αγρου εμαρανθησαν δι' αυτον.
16 At the crash of his fall I made the nations rock, when I cast him down to the nether world with those who go down into the pit. In the land below, all Eden's trees were consoled, Lebanon's choice and best, all that were fed by water.	16 Εκαμον τα εθνη να σεισθωσιν εις τον ηχον της πτωσεως αυτου, οτε κατεβιβασα αυτον εις τον αδην μετα των καταβαινοντων εις λακκον? και παντα τα δενδρα της Εδεμ, τα εκλεκτα και τα καλα του Λιβανου, παντα τα πινοντα υδωρ, παρηγορηθησαν εν τοις κατωτατοις της γης.
17 They too have come down with him to the nether world, to those slain by the sword; those who dwelt in his shade are dispersed among the nations.	17 Και αυτοι οτι κατεβησαν εις τον αδην μετ' αυτου, προς τους τεθανατωμενους εν μαχαιρα? και οσοι ησαν ο βραχιων αυτου, οι κατοικουντες υπο την σκιαν αυτου εν μεσω των εθνων.
18 Which was your equal in glory or size among the trees of Eden? Yet you have been brought down with the trees of Eden to the land below. You shall lie with the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword. Such are Pharaoh and all his hordes, says the Lord GOD.	18 Με ποιον ωμοιωθης ουτως εν τη δοξη και εν τη μεγαλειοτητι, μεταξυ των δενδρων της Εδεμ; θελεις ομως καταβιβασθη μετα των δενδρων της Εδεμ εις τα κατωτατα της γης? θελεις κοιτεσθαι εν μεσω των απεριτμητων μετα των τεθανατωμενων εν μαχαιρα? ουτος ειναι ο Φαραω και απαν το πληθος αυτου, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος.
