¹And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third [month], on the first of the month, [that] the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

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

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

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

³Behold, Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon, with fair branches and a shadowing shroud, and of a high stature: and his top was amidst the thick boughs.

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

⁴The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high; its streams ran round about his plantation, and it sent out its rivulets unto all the 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 his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long, because of great waters, when he shot forth.

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

⁶All the fowl of the heavens 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 the great nations.

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

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

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

⁸The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him; the cypresses were not like his boughs, and the plane-trees were not as his branches: no tree in the garden of God was 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.

⁹I had made him fair by the multitude of his branches; and all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.

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

¹⁰Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast lifted up thyself in stature, ... and he hath set his top amidst the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height,

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

¹¹I have given him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.

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

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 in all the watercourses of the land; and all the peoples of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left 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.

¹³Upon his fallen [trunk] do all the fowl of the heavens dwell, and all the beasts of the field are upon his branches:

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

¹⁴to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, nor set their top amidst the thick boughs, and that none of them that drink water stand up in his height by himself; for they are all given over unto death in the lower parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when he went down to Sheol, I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed; and I made Lebanon black for him, and all the trees of the field fainted 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.

¹⁶I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol, with them that go down into the pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the lower parts of the earth.

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,

¹⁷They also went down into Sheol with him unto them that were slain with the sword, and [that were] his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the nations.

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

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 lower parts of the earth; thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith 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.'
