Ezekiel 31

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 In the eleventh year, on the first day of the third month, the word of Yahweh was addressed to me asfol ows,	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 king of Egypt and his throng of subjects: "What can compare with you forgreatness?	2 Υιε ανθρωπου, ειπε προς τον Φαραω βασιλεα της Αιγυπτου και προς το πληθος αυτου? Με ποιον ωμοιωθης εν τη μεγαλειοτητι σου;
3 I know: a cedar tree in the Lebanon with noble branches, dense foliage, lofty height. Its top pierces theclouds.	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 The waters have made it grow, the deep has made it tall, pouring its rivers round the place where it isplanted, sending rivulets to al the wild trees.	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 This is why its height was greater than that of other wild trees, its branches increased in number, itsboughs stretched wide, because of the plentiful waters making it grow.	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 Al the birds of heaven nested in its branches; under its boughs all wild animals dropped their young; inits shade sat many, many people.	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 was beautiful in its size, in the span of its boughs; for its roots were in plentiful waters.	7 Ητο λοιπον ωραιος κατα το μεγεθος αυτου και κατα την εκτασιν των κλαδων αυτου, διοτι αι ριζαι αυτου ησαν πλησιον υδατων πολλων.
8 There was no cedar like it in the garden of God, no cypress had branches such as these, no plane treecould match its boughs, no tree in the garden of God could rival 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 had made it so lovely with its many branches that it was the envy of every tree in Eden, in the gardenof 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 "Very wel , the Lord Yahweh says this: "Since it has raised itself to its ful height, has lifted its top into the clouds, and has grown arrogant about 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 prince of the nations, for him to treat as its wickedness deserves; I haverejected 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 barbarous of nations, have cut it down and deserted it. On the mountains, in althe val eys, lie its branches; its broken boughs are in every ravine throughout the country; everybody in thecountry has fled its shade and deserted 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 wreckage perch al the birds of heaven; all the wild animals have advanced on its branches.	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 "So in future let no tree rear its height beside the waters, none push its top into the clouds, nowatered tree stretch its height towards them. For al of them are doomed to death, to the depths of theunderworld, with the common run of humanity, with those who sink into oblivion.	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 "The Lord Yahweh says this: The day it went down to Sheol, I imposed mourning, I closed the deepover it. I stopped its rivers and the plentiful waters dried up; I made Lebanon dark because of it, and al the wildtrees wilted because of it.	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 With the noise when it fel I made the nations quake, as I hurled it down to Sheol, with those who sinkinto oblivion. In the depths of the underworld al the trees of Eden took comfort, the pick of the loveliest trees ofthe Lebanon, al irrigated by the waters.	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 And its offspring among the nations, once living in its shade, went down to Sheol with it, to those whohave been slaughtered by the sword.	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 of the trees of Eden compares with you for glory and greatness? Yet you have been hurleddown with the trees of Eden, to the depths of the underworld, among the uncircumcised, and there you lie withthose who have been slaughtered by the sword. So much for Pharaoh and al his throng -- declares the LordYahweh." '	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.
