Ezekiel 31

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 And it happened that, in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:	1 No décimo primeiro ano, no primeiro dia do terceiro mês, a palavra do Senhor foi-me dirigida nestes termos:
2 “Son of man, speak to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and to his people: To whom can you be compared in your greatness?	2 filho do homem, dize ao faraó, rei do Egito, e a seu povo numeroso: a quem te assemelhas, em tua grandeza?
3 Behold, Assur is like the cedar of Lebanon, with fair branches, and full of leaves, and of high stature, and his summit has been elevated above the thick branches.	3 Eis {a Assíria}, é um cedro do Líbano, de magníficas ramagens, com espessa ramagem e elevada estatura, cujo cimo se alteia em meio às nuvens.
4 The waters have nourished him. The abyss has exalted him. Its rivers have flowed around his roots, and it has sent forth its streams to all the trees of the regions.	4 As águas fizeram-no crescer; o abismo fê-lo altear-se, dirigindo suas águas para onde ele estava plantado, e enviando seus regatos a todas as árvores da região.
5 Because of this, his height was exalted above all the trees of the regions, and his groves were multiplied, and his own branches were elevated, because of the many waters.	5 Dessa forma dominava ele todas as árvores dos campos; seus galhos se alongavam, sua ramagem se desenvolvia, graças à abundância das águas que o tinham feito crescer.
6 And when he had extended his shadow, all the birds of the air made their nests in his branches, and all the beasts of the forest conceived their young under his foliage, and an assembly of the many peoples lived under his shadow.	6 Em seus galhos se aninhavam todas as aves do céu. Sob seus ramos davam cria todos os animais dos campos à sua sombra descansava toda espécie de gente!
7 And he was most beautiful in his greatness and in the expansion of his groves. For his root was near many waters.	7 Era belo por sua grandeza, pela extensão de seus galhos, porque suas raízes mergulhavam nas águas abundantes.
8 The cedars in the Paradise of God were not higher than he was. The spruce trees were not equal to his summit, and the plane trees were not equal to his fullness. No tree in the Paradise of God was similar to him or to his beauty.	8 Nenhum cedro do jardim de Deus rivalizava com ele, os ciprestes não atingiam o talhe de seus ramos, e os plátanos não igualavam suas ramagens; nenhuma árvore do jardim de Deus se equiparava a ele em esplendor.
9 For I made him beautiful, and dense with many branches. And all the trees of delight, which were in the Paradise of God, were jealous of him.	9 Eu o havia dotado de tão luxuriante ramagem, que todas as árvores do Éden, jardim de Deus, dele tinham inveja.
10 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since he was sublime in height, and he made his summit green and dense, and his heart was exalted because of his height,	10 Por isso, eis o que diz o Senhor Javé: porque ele foi tão orgulhoso de seu porte, e ergueu o seu cimo até as nuvens, e o seu coração se ensoberbeceu devido à sua altitude,
11 I have delivered him into the hands of the most powerful one among the Gentiles, so that he will deal with him. I have cast him out, in accord with his impiety.	11 entreguei-o nas mãos de um poderoso das nações, que o tratará como merece a sua malignidade, e o destruirá.
12 And foreigners, and the most cruel among the nations, will cut him down. And they will cast him on the mountains. And his branches will fall in every steep valley, and his grove will be broken apart on every cliff of the earth. And all the peoples of the earth will withdraw from his shadow, and abandon him.	12 Bárbaros, nação brutal entre todas, cortaram-no e o atiraram sobre as montanhas; seus ramos caíram em todos os vales, seus galhos quebrados juncam todas as torrentes da terra; todas as gentes da terra deixaram sua sombra e o abandonaram.
13 All the birds of the air lived upon his ruins, and all the beasts of the countryside were among his branches.	13 Sobre seu tronco mutilado se abatem todas as aves do céu, e em seus ramos se acolhem todos os animais dos campos.
14 For this reason, none of the trees among the waters will exalt themselves because of their height, nor will they place their summits above the thick branches and foliage, nor will any of those that are irrigated stand out because of their height. For they have all been delivered unto death, to the lowest part of the earth, into the midst of the sons of men, those who descend into the pit.	14 Tudo isso, a fim de que nenhuma árvore que cresce à borda das águas tenha orgulho de sua altura, e não eleve o cimo até as nuvens, e que nenhuma árvore bem regada pelas águas confie em sua estatura. Porque todas serão entregues à morte, votadas às moradas subterrâneas, em companhia do comum dos mortais que descem à fossa.
15 Thus says the Lord God: In the day when he descended into hell, I led in grieving. I covered him with the abyss. And I held back its rivers, and I restrained the many waters. Lebanon was saddened over him, and all the trees of the field were struck together.	15 Eis o que diz o Senhor Javé: no dia em que o cedro desceu à morada dos mortos, ordenei um luto; por causa dele fechei o abismo {das águas}, parei os regatos e as grandes águas foram imobilizadas. Por causa dele denegri o Líbano, por causa dele todas as árvores do campo murcharam e secaram.
16 I shook the Gentiles with the sound of his ruin, when I led him down to hell, with those who were descending into the pit. And all the trees of delights, the finest and best in Lebanon, all that were irrigated with waters, were consoled in the deepest parts of the earth.	16 Ao ruído de sua queda abalei as nações, quando o precipitei na região dos mortos, com aqueles que descem à fossa. Todas as árvores do Éden, as mais belas, as mais esplendorosas do Líbano, todas aquelas que estavam banhadas pelas águas foram consoladas nas moradas infernais.
17 For they, too, will descend with him into hell, to those who have been slain by the sword. And the arm of each one will reside under his shadow, in the midst of the nations.	17 E, juntamente com ele, desceram à morada dos mortos, para junto das vítimas da espada, aqueles que eram seu braço e se mantinham debaixo de sua sombra entre as nações.
18 To whom can you be compared, O famous and sublime one, among the trees of pleasure? Behold, you have been brought down, with the trees of pleasure, to the lowest part of the earth. You will sleep in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who have been slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh, and all his multitude, says the Lord God.”	18 A quem eras igual, em glória e grandeza, entre as árvores do Éden? Com elas te precipitaste nas moradas subterrâneas: jazes no meio dos incircuncisos, com os trespassados pelo gládio. Tal é o destino do faraó e do seu povo numeroso - oráculo do Senhor Javé.
