Ezequiel 31

BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 El año undécimo, el día uno del tercer mes, la palabra de Yahveh me fue dirigida en estos términos:	1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, the third month, the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Hijo de hombre, di a Faraón, rey de Egipto, y a la multitud de sus súbditos: ¿A quién compararte en tu grandeza?	2 Son of man, speak to Pharao king of Egypt, and to his people: To whom art thou like in thy greatness?
3 Mira: a un cedro del Líbano de espléndido ramaje, de fronda de amplia sombra y de elevada talla. Entre las nubes despuntaba su copa.	3 Behold, the Assyrian was like a cedar in Libanus, with fair branches, and full of leaves, of a high stature, and his top was elevated among the thick boughs.
4 Las aguas le hicieron crecer, el abismo le hizo subir, derramando sus aguas en torno a su plantación, enviando sus acequias a todos los árboles del campo.	4 The waters nourished him, the deep set him up on high, the streams thereof ran round about his roots, and it sent forth its rivulets to all the trees of the country.
5 Por eso su tronco superaba en altura a todos los árboles del campo, sus ramas se multiplicaban, se alargaba su ramaje, por la abundancia de agua que le hacía crecer.	5 Therefore was his height exalted above all the trees of the country: and his branches were multiplied, and his boughs were elevated because of many waters.
6 En sus ramas anidaban todos los pájaros del cielo, bajo su fronda parían todas las bestias del campo, a su sombra se sentaban naciones numerosas.	6 And when he had spread forth his shadow, all the fowls of the air made their nests in his boughs, and all the beasts of the forest brought forth their young under his branches, and the assembly of many nations dwelt under his shadow.
7 Era hermoso en su grandeza, en su despliegue de ramaje, porque sus raíces se alargaban hacia aguas abundantes.	7 And he was most beautiful for his greatness, and for the spreading of his branches: for his root was near great waters.
8 No le igualaban los demás cedros en el jardín de Dios, los cipreses no podían competir con su ramaje, los plátanos no tenían ramas como las suyas. Ningún árbol, en el jardín de Dios, le igualaba en belleza.	8 The cedars in the paradise of God wars not higher than he, the fir trees did not equal his top, neither were the plane trees to be compared with him for branches: no tree in the paradise of God was like him in his beauty.
9 Yo le había embellecido con follaje abundante, y le envidiaban todos los árboles de Edén, los del jardín de Dios.	9 For I made him beautiful and thick set with many branches: and all the trees of pleasure, that were in the paradise of God, envied him.
10 Pues bien, así dice el Señor Yahveh: Por haber exagerado su talla, levantando su copa por entre las nubes, y haberse engreído su corazón de su altura,	10 Therefore thus saith the Lord God Because he was exalted in height, and shot up his top green and thick, and his heart was lifted up in his height:
11 yo le he entregado en manos del conductor de las naciones, para que le trate conforme a su maldad; ¡le he desechado!	11 I have delivered him into the hands of the mighty one of the nations, he shall deal with him: I have cast him out according to his wickedness.
12 Extranjeros, los más báraros entre las naciones, lo han talado y lo han abandonado. En los montes y por todos los valles yace su ramaje; sus ramas están destrozadas por todos los barrancos del país; toda la población del país se ha retirado de su sombra y lo ha abandonado.	12 And strangers, and the most cruel of the nations shall cut him down, and cast him away upon the mountains, and his boughs shall fall in every valley, and his branches shall be broken on every rock of the country: and all the people of the earth shall depart from his shadow, and leave him.
13 Sobre sus despojos se han posado todos los pájaros del cielo, a sus ramas han venido todas las bestias del campo.	13 All the fowls of the air dwelt upon his ruins, and all the beasts of the field were among his branches.
14 Ha sido para que ningún árbol plantado junto a las aguas se engría de su talla, ni levante su copa por entre las nubes, y para que ningún árbol bien regado se estire hacia ellas con su altura. ¡Porque todos ellos están destinados a la muerte, a los infiernos, como el común de los hombres, como los que bajan a la fosa!	14 For which cause none of the trees by the waters shall exalt themselves for their height: nor shoot up their tops among the thick branches and leaves, neither shall any of them that are watered stand up in their height: for they are all delivered unto death to the lowest parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down into the pit.
15 Así dice el Señor Yahveh: El día que bajó al seol, en señal de duelo yo cerré sobre él el abismo, detuve sus ríos, y las aguas abundantes cesaron; por causa de él llené de sombra el Líbano, y todos los árboles del campo se amustiaron por él.	15 Thus saith the Lord God: In the day when he went down to hell, I brought in mourning, I covered him with the deep: and I withheld its rivers, and restrained the many waters: Libanus grieved for him, and all the trees of the field trembled.
16 Hice temblar a las naciones por el estrépito de su caída, cuando le precipité en el seol, con los que bajan a la fosa. En los infiernos se consolaron todos los árboles de Edén, lo más selecto y más bello del Líbano, regados todos por las aguas.	16 I shook the nations with the sound of his fall, when I brought him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of pleasure, the choice and best in Libanus, all that were moistened with waters, were comforted in the lowest parts of the earth.
17 Y al mismo tiempo que él, bajaron al seol, donde las víctimas de la espada, los que eran su brazo y moraban a su sombra en medio de las naciones.	17 For they also shall go down with him to hell to them that are slain by the sword: and the arm of every one shall sit down under his shadow in the midst of the nations.
18 ¿A quién eras comparable en gloria y en grandeza, entre los árboles de Edén? Sin embargo has sido precipitado, con los árboles de Edén, en los infiernos; en medio de incircuncisos yaces, con las víctimas de la espada: ése es Faraón y toda su multitud, oráculo del Señor Yahveh.	18 To whom art thou like, O thou that art famous and lofty among the trees of pleasure? Behold, thou art brought down with the trees of pleasure to the lowest parts of the earth: thou shalt sleep in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword: this is Pharao, and all his multitude, saith the Lord God.
