¹It happened in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

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

²Son of man, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: Whom are you like in your 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 beautiful branches, and with a forest-like shade, and of high stature; and its 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 nourished it, the deep made it to grow: its rivers ran all around its plantation; and it sent out its channels to 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 its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long by reason of many waters, when it shot them 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 birds of the sky made their nests in its boughs; and under its branches all the animals of the field brought forth their young; and all great nations lived under its shadow.

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 it beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many 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 it; the fir trees were not like its boughs, and the plane trees were not as its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like it in its 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 made it beautiful by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it.

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

¹⁰Therefore thus said the Lord Yahweh: Because you are exalted in stature, and he has set 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 will even deliver 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.

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

¹²Strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: on the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the watercourses of the land; and all the peoples 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.

¹³On his ruin all the birds of the sky shall dwell, and all the animals of the field shall be on 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 in their stature, neither set their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones stand up on their height, even all who drink water: for they are all delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with those who 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 says the Lord Yahweh: In the day when he went down to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained its rivers; 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 Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. with those who descend 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.

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 Sheol with him to those who are slain by the sword; yes, those who were his arm, that lived under his shadow in the midst of the nations.

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

¹⁸To whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet you will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lower parts of the earth: you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord Yahweh.

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.
