Ezequiel 31

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 No décimo primeiro ano, no primeiro dia do terceiro mês, a palavra do Senhor foi-me dirigida nestes termos:	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 filho do homem, dize ao faraó, rei do Egito, e a seu povo numeroso: a quem te assemelhas, em tua grandeza?	2 Son of man, speak to Pharao king of Egypt, and to his people: To whom art thou like in thy greatness?
3 Eis {a Assíria}, é um cedro do Líbano, de magníficas ramagens, com espessa ramagem e elevada estatura, cujo cimo se alteia em meio às nuvens.	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 As águas fizeram-no crescer; o abismo fê-lo altear-se, dirigindo suas águas para onde ele estava plantado, e enviando seus regatos a todas as árvores da região.	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 Dessa forma dominava ele todas as árvores dos campos; seus galhos se alongavam, sua ramagem se desenvolvia, graças à abundância das águas que o tinham feito crescer.	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 Em seus galhos se aninhavam todas as aves do céu. Sob seus ramos davam cria todos os animais dos campos à sua sombra descansava toda espécie de gente!	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 belo por sua grandeza, pela extensão de seus galhos, porque suas raízes mergulhavam nas águas 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 Nenhum cedro do jardim de Deus rivalizava com ele, os ciprestes não atingiam o talhe de seus ramos, e os plátanos não igualavam suas ramagens; nenhuma árvore do jardim de Deus se equiparava a ele em esplendor.	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 Eu o havia dotado de tão luxuriante ramagem, que todas as árvores do Éden, jardim de Deus, dele tinham inveja.	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 Por isso, eis o que diz o Senhor Javé: porque ele foi tão orgulhoso de seu porte, e ergueu o seu cimo até as nuvens, e o seu coração se ensoberbeceu devido à sua altitude,	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 entreguei-o nas mãos de um poderoso das nações, que o tratará como merece a sua malignidade, e o destruirá.	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 Bárbaros, nação brutal entre todas, cortaram-no e o atiraram sobre as montanhas; seus ramos caíram em todos os vales, seus galhos quebrados juncam todas as torrentes da terra; todas as gentes da terra deixaram sua sombra e o abandonaram.	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 seu tronco mutilado se abatem todas as aves do céu, e em seus ramos se acolhem todos os animais dos campos.	13 All the fowls of the air dwelt upon his ruins, and all the beasts of the field were among his branches.
14 Tudo isso, a fim de que nenhuma árvore que cresce à borda das águas tenha orgulho de sua altura, e não eleve o cimo até as nuvens, e que nenhuma árvore bem regada pelas águas confie em sua estatura. Porque todas serão entregues à morte, votadas às moradas subterrâneas, em companhia do comum dos mortais que descem à fossa.	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 Eis o que diz o Senhor Javé: no dia em que o cedro desceu à morada dos mortos, ordenei um luto; por causa dele fechei o abismo {das águas}, parei os regatos e as grandes águas foram imobilizadas. Por causa dele denegri o Líbano, por causa dele todas as árvores do campo murcharam e secaram.	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 Ao ruído de sua queda abalei as nações, quando o precipitei na região dos mortos, com aqueles que descem à fossa. Todas as árvores do Éden, as mais belas, as mais esplendorosas do Líbano, todas aquelas que estavam banhadas pelas águas foram consoladas nas moradas infernais.	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 E, juntamente com ele, desceram à morada dos mortos, para junto das vítimas da espada, aqueles que eram seu braço e se mantinham debaixo de sua sombra entre as nações.	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 quem eras igual, em glória e grandeza, entre as árvores do Éden? Com elas te precipitaste nas moradas subterrâneas: jazes no meio dos incircuncisos, com os trespassados pelo gládio. Tal é o destino do faraó e do seu povo numeroso - oráculo do Senhor Javé.	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.
