GREEK BIBLEDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Και εν τω ενδεκατω ετει, τω τριτω μηνι, τη πρωτη του μηνος, εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων,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 Υιε ανθρωπου, ειπε προς τον Φαραω βασιλεα της Αιγυπτου και προς το πληθος αυτου? Με ποιον ωμοιωθης εν τη μεγαλειοτητι σου;2 Son of man, speak to Pharao king of Egypt, and to his people: To whom art thou like in thy greatness?
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.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 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.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 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.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 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.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 Ητο λοιπον ωραιος κατα το μεγεθος αυτου και κατα την εκτασιν των κλαδων αυτου, διοτι αι ριζαι αυτου ησαν πλησιον υδατων πολλων.7 And he was most beautiful for his greatness, and for the spreading of his branches: for his root was near great waters.
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.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 Εκαμον αυτον ωραιον κατα το πληθος των κλαδων αυτου, ωστε παντα τα δενδρα της Εδεμ, τα εν τω παραδεισω του Θεου, εζηλευον αυτον.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 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,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 δια τουτο παρεδωκα αυτον εις την χειρα του δυναστου των εθνων, οστις θελει φερθη αξιως προς αυτον? απεβαλον αυτον δια την ασεβειαν αυτου.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 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.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 Επι του πτωματος αυτου θελουσιν επικαθησθαι παντα τα πετεινα του ουρανου και επι τους κλαδους αυτου θελουσιν εισθαι παντα τα ζωα του αγρου?13 All the fowls of the air dwelt upon his ruins, and all the beasts of the field were among his branches.
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.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 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.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 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.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 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.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 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.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.
