¹And it cometh to pass, in the eleventh year, in the third [month], in the first of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying:

¹Ja üheteistkümnendal aastal, kolmanda kuu esimesel päeval tuli mulle Issanda sõna; ta ütles:

²`Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and unto his multitude: To whom hast thou been like in thy greatness?

²'Inimesepoeg, ütle vaaraole ja tema hiilgusele: Kelle sarnane sa oled oma suuruses?

³Lo, Asshur, a cedar in Lebanon, Fair in branch, and shading bough, and high in stature, And between thickets hath its foliage been.

³Vaata küpressi, Liibanoni seedrit, mis on okstelt ilus, metsataolist varju andev, kasvult kõrge ja mille latv on keset pilvi.

⁴Waters have made it great, The deep hath exalted him with its flowings, Going round about its planting, And its conduits it hath sent forth unto all trees of the field.

⁴Veed kasvatasid seda, põhjavesi laskis sirguda sel suureks, pannes voolama oma jõed ümber selle istutuspaiga ja lähetades nired kõigi metsapuude juurde.

⁵Therefore higher hath been his stature than all trees of the field, And multiplied are his boughs, and long are his branches, Because of many waters in his shooting forth,

⁵Seetõttu oli selle kasv kõrgem kõigist metsapuudest, sel oli palju harusid ja selle oksad kasvasid pikaks rohkest veest, kui see ennast sirutas.

⁶In his boughs made a nest hath every fowl of the heavens, And under his branches brought forth hath every beast of the field, And in his shade dwell do all great nations.

⁶Selle harudel pesitsesid kõiksugu taeva linnud, selle okste all poegisid kõiksugu metsloomad ja selle varjus elasid kõik suured rahvad.

⁷And he is fair in his greatness, In the length of his thin shoots, For his root hath been by great waters.

⁷Ilus oli see oma suuruses oma lopsaka lehestikuga, sest selle juur oli rohke vee ääres.

⁸Cedars have not hid him in the garden of God, Firs have not been like unto his boughs, And chesnut-trees have not been as his branches, No tree in the garden of God hath been like unto him in his beauty,

⁸Seedrid Jumala aias ei olnud sellega võrdsed, küpressid ei olnud harude poolest selle sarnased, ja plataanidel ei olnud selle oksi; ükski puu Jumala aias ei olnud ilu poolest selle sarnane.

⁹Fair I have made him in the multitude of his thin shoots, And envy him do all trees of Eden that [are] in the garden of God.

⁹Mina tegin selle nii ilusaks rikkaliku lehestikuga ja kõik Eedeni puud, mis olid Jumala aias, kadestasid seda.

¹⁰Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because that thou hast been high in stature, And he yieldeth his foliage between thickets, And high is his heart in his haughtiness,

¹⁰Seepärast ütleb Issand Jumal nõnda: Et see sai kasvult kõrgeks ja sirutas oma ladva pilvedesse ning et selle süda läks ülbeks oma kõrgusest,

¹¹I give him into the hand of a god of nations, He dealeth sorely with him, In his wickedness I have cast him out.

¹¹siis andsin ma selle ühe rahvaste valitseja kätte: tema talitas sellega nagu tahtis, vastavalt selle süüle. Mina tõukasin selle ära.

¹²And cut him off do strangers, The terrible of nations, and they leave him, On the mountains and in all valleys have his thin shoots fallen, And broken are his boughs at all streams of the land, And go down from his shade do all peoples of the land, and they leave him.

¹²Ja võõrad, julmimad rahvaste seast, raiusid selle maha ning jätsid sinna; selle lehed langesid mägedele ja kõigisse orgudesse, ja selle oksad jäid murtuina kõigisse maa ojadesse; kõik maa rahvad läksid ära selle varju alt ja jätsid selle maha.

¹³On his ruin dwell do all fowls of the heavens, And on his boughs have been all the beasts of the field,

¹³Selle langetatud tüve peale asusid kõik taeva linnud ja selle okste peale kõik metsloomad -

¹⁴In order that none of the trees of the waters May become haughty because of their stature, Nor give their foliage between thickets, Nor any drinking waters stand up unto them in their haughtiness, For all of them are given up to death, Unto the earth — the lower part, In the midst of the sons of men, Unto those going down to the pit.

¹⁴et ükski veeäärne puu ei läheks ülbeks oma kasvu pärast ega sirutaks oma latva pilvede vahele, ja et oma ülbuses ei jääks püsima võimsamad neist, kõik, kellel on rohkesti vett -, sest need kõik antakse surma, maa sügavustesse inimlaste sekka, kes on läinud alla hauda.

¹⁵Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In the day of his going down to sheol I have caused mourning, I have covered for him the deep, and diminish its flowings, And restrained are many waters, And I make Lebanon black for him, And all trees of the field have been covered for him.

¹⁵Nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal: Päeval, kui ta astus alla surmavalda, korraldasin ma leinamise; ma katsin tema pärast põhjavee ja hoidsin tagasi tema jõed, suured veed peeti kinni; ma tegin tema pärast Liibanoni mustaks ja tema pärast närbusid kõik metsapuud.

¹⁶From the sound of his fall I have caused nations to shake, In My causing him to go down to sheol, With those going down to the pit, And comforted in the earth — the lower part, are all trees of Eden, The choice and the good of Lebanon, All drinking waters.

¹⁶Tema langemise raginast panin ma rahvad värisema, kui ma tõukasin ta surmavalda koos haudaminejatega. Maa sügavustes leidsid troosti kõik Eedeni puud, valitud ja parimad Liibanonilt, kõik, kellel oli rohkesti vett,

¹⁷Also they with him have gone down to sheol, Unto the pierced of the sword, And — his arm — they dwelt in his shade in the midst of nations.

¹⁷needki läksid koos temaga surmavalda mõõgaga mahalöödute juurde, jah, pillutati need, kes istusid tema varju all rahvaste keskel.

¹⁸Unto whom hast thou been thus like, In honour and in greatness among the trees of Eden, And thou hast been brought down with the trees of Eden, Unto the earth — the lower part, In the midst of the uncircumcised thou liest, With the pierced of the sword? It [is] Pharaoh, and all his multitude, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!`

¹⁸Millisega Eedeni puude seast saaks sind võrrelda au ja suuruse poolest? Sind tõugatakse koos Eedeni puudega maa sügavustesse, sa magad ümberlõikamatute keskel koos mõõgaga mahalöödutega. Nõnda käib vaarao ja tema hiilguse käsi, ütleb Issand Jumal.'
