¹And 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,

¹A bolo jedenásteho roku, tretieho mesiaca, prvého dňa toho mesiaca, že stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo ku mne povediac:

²Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?

²Synu človeka, povedz faraonovi, egyptskému kráľovi, i jeho množstvu: Komuže sa ty podobáš vo svojej veľkosti?

³Behold, 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.

³Hľa, Assúr bol cedrou na Libanone, krásneho konára, a zatôňujúcou húšťavou a vysokého vzrastu, a jeho listnatý vrchol bol až hore medzi oblakmi.

⁴The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.

⁴Vody mu dodávaly vzrastu, hlbina ho vyvýšila; s jej riekami chodil vôkol jej výsady, a svoje prietoky vypúšťala ku všetkým stromom poľným.

⁵Therefore 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.

⁵Preto bol jeho vzrast vyšší nad všetky stromy na poli, a rozmohly sa jeho haluzi, a jeho vetvi sa roztiahly od mnohých vôd, keď vyhnal.

⁶All 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.

⁶Na jeho letorastoch robili si všelijakí vtáci nebeskí hniezda, pod jeho vetvami rodily sa všelijaké poľné zvieratá, a v jeho tôni sedely všeliktoré veľké národy.

⁷Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.

⁷A bol krásny vo svojej veľkosti, v dlhokosti svojich konárov, lebo jeho koreň bol pri mnohých vodách.

⁸The 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.

⁸Cedry v zahrade Božej ho nezatienily; jedle sa nevyrovnaly jeho letorastom, a gaštany neboly jako jeho vetvi; niktorý strom v zahrade Božej nevyrovnal sa mu vo svojej kráse.

⁹I 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.

⁹Krásneho som ho bol učinil množstvom jeho konárov, takže mu závidely všetky stromy Édena, ktoré boly v zahrade Božej.

¹⁰Therefore 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;

¹⁰Preto takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Preto, že si taký vysoký vzrastom -, a dal svoj vrchol až hore medzi oblaky, a jeho srdce sa povýšilo v jeho výši,

¹¹I 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.

¹¹vydal som ho do ruky silného z národov; učinil mu, jako zaslúžil; zahnal som ho pre jeho bezbožnosť.

¹²And 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.

¹²A vyťali ho cudzinci, ukrutní zpomedzi národov, a pohodili ho. Po vrchoch a po všetkých dolinách popadaly jeho konáre, a jeho vetvi boly polámané po všetkých potokoch zeme, a sostúpily preč z jeho tône všetky národy zeme a pohodiac ho nechaly ho ležať.

¹³Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:

¹³Na jeho padlom telese bývajú všelijakí nebeskí vtáci, a po jeho vetviach sú všelijaké zvieratá poľné,

¹⁴To 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.

¹⁴aby sa nepovyšovaly vo svojom vzraste niktoré stromy, majúce hojnosť vody, a nedávaly svojho vrchola hore medzi oblaky, ani aby sa nepostavovali ich silní vo svojej vysokosti, niktorí pijúci vodu, lebo všetci sú vydaní smrti do spodku zeme, medzi synov človeka, k tým, ktorí sostupujú do jamy.

¹⁵Thus 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.

¹⁵Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin: Toho dňa, ktorého sostúpil do pekla, spôsobil som smútok a prikryl som ho priepasťou a odňal som jej rieky, a zadržané boly mnohé vody, a spôsobil som to, aby sa pre neho obliekol Libanon v čierno, a omdlievaly pre neho všetky stromy na poli.

¹⁶I 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.

¹⁶Dal som, aby sa od hrmotu jeho pádu triasly národy, keď som ho svrhol do pekla s tými, ktorí sostupujú do jamy. A tak sa potešily na spodku v zemi všetky stromy Édena, to čo je najvýbornejšie a najpeknejšie Libanona, všetci, ktorí pijú vodu.

¹⁷They 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.

¹⁷Aj tí sostúpili s ním do pekla k pobitým od meča, i jeho rameno, tí, ktorí sedeli v jeho tôni medzi národami. -

¹⁸To 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.

¹⁸Ktorému sa ty takto podobáš v sláve a vo veľkosti medzi stromami Édena? A tak si svrhnutý so stromami Édena do spodku zeme, ležať budeš medzi neobrezanými, s pobitými od meča. To je i faraon a všetko jeho množstvo, hovorí Pán Hospodin.
