NOVA VULGATAKING JAMES BIBLE
1 Et factum est in anno unde cimo, in tertio, una mensis, factum estverbum Domini ad me dicens:1 And 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,
2 “ Fili hominis, dic pharaoni, regi Aegypti, etpompae eius:
Cui similis factus es in magnitudine tua?
2 Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
3 Ecce abies, quasi cedrus in Libano,
pulcher ramis et frondibus nemorosus
excelsusque altitudine,
et inter nubes elevatum est cacumen eius;
3 Behold, 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.
4 aquae nutrierunt illum,
abyssus exaltavit eum,
flumina eius manabant
in circuitu radicum eius,
et rivos suos emisit
ad universa ligna campi.
4 The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.
5 Propterea elevata est altitudo eius
super omnia ligna campi,
et multiplicata sunt arbusta eius,
et elevati sunt rami eius
propter aquas multas.
5 Therefore 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.
6 Cumque extendisset umbram suam,
in ramis eius fecerunt nidos
omnia volatilia caeli,
et sub frondibus eius genuerunt
omnes bestiae campi,
et sub umbra illius habitabat
universa multitudo gentium;
6 All 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.
7 eratque pulcherrimus in magnitudine sua
et in dilatatione arbustorum suorum,
erat enim radix illius
iuxta aquas multas.
7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.
8 Cedri non fuerunt pares illi
in paradiso Dei;
abietes non adaequaverunt
ramos eius,
et platani non fuerunt
aequae frondibus illius;
omne lignum paradisi Dei
non est assimilatum illi et pulchritudini eius,
8 The 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.
9 quoniam speciosum feci eum
et multis condensisque frondibus:
et aemulata sunt eum omnia ligna Eden,
quae erant in paradiso Dei.
9 I 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.
10 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Pro eo quod sublimatus est in altitudineet dedit summitatem suam usque in nubes, et elevatum est cor eius in altitudinesua,10 Therefore 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;
11 tradam eum in manu potentis principis gentium; faciens faciet ei: iuxtaimpietatem eius eieci eum.11 I 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.
12 Et succident illum alieni, violentissimi nationum;et proicient eum super montes, et in cunctis convallibus corruent rami eius, etconfringentur arbusta eius in universis voraginibus terrae, et recedent de umbraeius omnes populi terrae et relinquent eum.12 And 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.
13 Super ruinam eius habitabunt
omnia volatilia caeli,
et in ramis eius erunt
universae bestiae campi,
13 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
14 ne eleventur in altitudine sua
omnia ligna aquarum neque ponant
sublimitatem suam inter nubes nec
stent apud eas in sublimitate sua
omnia, quae irrigantur aquis, quia
omnes traditi sunt in mortem
ad inferiora terrae,
in medio filiorum hominum,
ad eos, qui descendunt in lacum.
14 To 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.
15 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: In die, quando descendit ad inferos, induxi luctum,operui propter eum abyssum et prohibui flumina eius et coercui aquas multas;obscuravi super eum Libanum, et omnia ligna agri concussa sunt.15 Thus 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.
16 A sonituruinae eius commovi gentes, cum deducerem eum ad infernum cum his, quidescendebant in lacum; et consolata sunt in inferioribus terrae omnia lignaEden, egregia atque praeclara in Libano, universa, quae irrigabantur aquis.16 I 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.
17 Nam et ipsi cum eo descenderunt ad infernum ad interfectos gladio etauxiliatores eius, qui sederant sub umbra eius in medio nationum.17 They 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.
18 Cui assimilatus es, o inclite atque sublimis inter ligna Eden? Et eccedeductus es cum lignis Eden ad inferiora terrae; in medio incircumcisorumdormies cum his, qui interfecti sunt gladio. Ipse est pharao et omnis pompa eius”, dicit Dominus Deus.
18 To 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.
