Ezekiel 31

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
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 Και εν τω ενδεκατω ετει, τω τριτω μηνι, τη πρωτη του μηνος, εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων,
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 Υιε ανθρωπου, ειπε προς τον Φαραω βασιλεα της Αιγυπτου και προς το πληθος αυτου? Με ποιον ωμοιωθης εν τη μεγαλειοτητι σου;
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 And he was most beautiful in his greatness and in the expansion of his groves. For his root was near many 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 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 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 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 Εκαμον αυτον ωραιον κατα το πληθος των κλαδων αυτου, ωστε παντα τα δενδρα της Εδεμ, τα εν τω παραδεισω του Θεου, εζηλευον αυτον.
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 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 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 δια τουτο παρεδωκα αυτον εις την χειρα του δυναστου των εθνων, οστις θελει φερθη αξιως προς αυτον? απεβαλον αυτον δια την ασεβειαν αυτου.
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 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 All the birds of the air lived upon his ruins, and all the beasts of the countryside were among his 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 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 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: 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
