1 T ambém sucedeu, no ano undécimo, no terceiro mês, ao primeiro do mês, que veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:

In the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

2 F ilho do homem, dize a Faraó, rei do Egito, e ã sua multidão: A quem és semelhante na tua grandeza?

Son of man, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: Whom are you like in your greatness?

3 E is que o assírio era como um cedro do Líbano, de ramos formosos, de sombrosa ramagem e de alta estatura; e a sua copa estava entre os ramos espessos.

Behold, 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.

4 A s águas nutriram-no, o abismo fê-lo crescer; as suas correntes corriam em torno da sua plantação; assim ele enviava os seus regatos a todas as árvores do campo.

The 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.

5 P or isso se elevou a sua estatura sobre todas as árvores do campo, e se multiplicaram os seus ramos, e se alongaram as suas varas, por causa das muitas águas nas suas raizes.

Therefore 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 spread them out.

6 T odas as aves do céu se aninhavam nos seus ramos; e todos os animais do campo geravam debaixo dos seus ramos; e ã sua sombra habitavam todos os grandes povos.

All the birds of the sky made their nests in its boughs; and under its branches all the animals of the field gave birth to their young; and all great nations lived under its shadow.

7 A ssim era ele formoso na sua grandeza, na extensão dos seus ramos, porque a sua raiz estava junto

Thus was it beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters.

8 O s cedros no jardim de Deus não o podiam esconder; as faias não igualavam os seus ramos, e os plátanos não eram como as suas varas; nenhuma árvore no jardim de Deus se assemelhava a ele na sua formosura.

The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the cypress 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.

9 F ormoso o fiz pela abundância dos seus ramos; de modo que tiveram inveja dele todas as árvores do Edem que havia no jardim de Deus.

I 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.

10 P ortanto assim diz o Senhor Deus: Como se elevou na sua estatura, e se levantou a sua copa no meio dos espessos ramos, e o seu coração se ufanava da sua altura,

Therefore 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;

11 e u o entregarei na mão da mais poderosa das nações, que lhe dará o tratamento merecido. Eu já o lancei fora.

I 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.

12 E strangeiros, da mais terrível das nações, o cortarão, e o deixarão; cairão os seus ramos sobre os montes e por todos os vales, e os seus renovos serão quebrados junto a todas as correntes da terra; e todos os povos da terra se retirarão da sua sombra, e o deixarão.

Strangers, 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.

13 T odas as aves do céu habitarão sobre a sua ruína, e todos os animais do campo estarão sobre os seus ramos;

On his ruin all the birds of the sky shall dwell, and all the animals of the field shall be on his branches;

14 p ara que nenhuma de todas as árvores junto

to 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, among the children of men, with those who go down to the pit.

15 A ssim diz o Senhor Deus: No dia em que ele desceu ao Seol, fiz eu que houvesse luto; cobri o abismo, por sua causa, e retive as suas correntes, e detiveram-se as grandes águas; e fiz que o Líbano o pranteasse; e todas as árvores do campo por causa dele desfaleceram.

Thus says the Lord Yahweh: In the day when he went down to Sheol 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.

16 F arei tremer as nações ao som da sua queda, quando o fizer descer ao Seol juntamente com os que descem ã cova; e todas as árvores do Edem a flor e o melhor do Líbano, todas as que bebem águas, se consolarão nas partes inferiores da terra;

I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol 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.

17 t ambém juntamente com ele descerão ao Seol, ajuntar-se aos que foram mortos ã espada; sim, aos que foram seu braço, e que habitavam ã sua sombra no meio das nações.

They also went down into Sheol with him to those who are slain by the sword; yes, those who were his arm, who lived under his shadow in the middle of the nations.

18 A quem, pois, és semelhante em glória e em grandeza entre as árvores do Eden? Todavia serás precipitado juntamente com as árvores do Eden

To 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 middle of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord Yahweh.
