Ezekiel 31
Commentary from 1 father
Son of man, say to Pharao king of Egypt, and to his multitude; To whom hast thou compared thyself in thy haughtiness?
υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, εἰπὸν πρὸς Φαραὼ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου καὶ τῷ πλήθει αὐτοῦ· τίνι ὡμοίωσας σεαυτὸν ἐν τῷ ὕψει σου;
сы́не человѣ́чь, рцы̀ фараѡ́нꙋ царю̀ є҆гѵ́петскꙋ и҆ мно́жествꙋ є҆гѡ̀: комꙋ̀ ᲂу҆подо́билъ є҆сѝ себѐ въ высотѣ̀ твое́й;
Behold, the Assyrian was a cypress in Libanus, and was fair in shoots, and high in stature: his top reached to the midst of the clouds.
ἰδοὺ ᾿Ασσοὺρ κυπάρισσος ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ καὶ καλὸς ταῖς παραφυάσι καὶ ὑψηλὸς τῷ μεγέθει, εἰς μέσον νεφελῶν ἐγένετο ἡ ἀρχὴ αὐτοῦ.
Сѐ, а҆ссꙋ́ръ кѷпарі́съ въ лїва́нѣ, до́бръ ѿра́сльми и҆ высо́къ вели́чествомъ и҆ ча́стъ покро́вомъ, и҆ средѣ̀ ѡ҆́блакъ бы́сть вла́сть є҆гѡ̀:
The water nourished him, the depth made him grow tall; she led her rivers round about his plants, and she sent forth her streams to all the trees of the field.
ὕδωρ ἐξέθρεψεν αὐτόν, ἡ ἄβυσσος ὕψωσεν αὐτόν, τοὺς ποταμοὺς αὐτῆς ἤγαγε κύκλῳ τῶν φυτῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ συστέματα αὐτῆς ἐξαπέστειλεν εἰς πάντα τὰ ξύλα τοῦ πεδίου.
вода̀ воспита̀ є҆го̀, бе́здна вознесѐ є҆го̀, рѣ́ки своѧ̑ приведѐ ѡ҆́крестъ садѡ́въ свои́хъ, и҆ соста́вы своѧ̑ и҆спꙋстѝ во всѧ̑ древеса̀ полєва́ѧ.
Therefore, was his stature exalted above all the trees of the field, and his branches spread far by the help of much water.
ἕνεκεν τούτου ὑψώθη τὸ μέγεθος αὐτοῦ παρὰ πάντα τὰ ξύλα τοῦ πεδίου, καὶ ἐπλατύνθησαν οἱ κλάδοι αὐτοῦ ἀφ’ ὕδατος πολλοῦ.
Сегѡ̀ ра́ди вознесе́сѧ вели́чество є҆гѡ̀ па́че всѣ́хъ древе́съ по́льныхъ, разшири́шасѧ вѣ́твїе є҆гѡ̀, и҆ вознесо́шасѧ ѿра̑сли є҆гѡ̀ ѿ воды̀ мно́ги, є҆гда̀ протѧже́сѧ.
All the birds of the sky made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches all the wild beasts of the field bred; the whole multitude of nations dwelt under his shadow.
ἐν ταῖς παραφυάσιν αὐτοῦ ἐνόσσευσαν πάντα τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ὑποκάτω τῶν κλάδων αὐτοῦ ἐγεννῶσαν πάντα τὰ θηρία τοῦ πεδίου, ἐν τῇ σκιᾷ αὐτοῦ κατῴκησε πᾶν πλῆθος ἐθνῶν.
Во ѿра́слехъ є҆гѡ̀ возгнѣзди́шасѧ всѧ̑ пти̑цы небє́сныѧ, и҆ под̾ вѣ́твьми є҆гѡ̀ ражда́хꙋсѧ всѝ ѕвѣ́рїе по́льнїи, под̾ сѣ́нїю є҆гѡ̀ всели́сѧ всѐ мно́жество ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ.
And he was fair in his height by reason of the multitude of his branches: for his roots were amidst much water.
καὶ ἐγένετο καλὸς ἐν τῷ ὕψει αὐτοῦ διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν κλάδων αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐγενήθησαν αἱ ῥίζαι αὐτοῦ εἰς ὕδωρ πολύ.
И҆ бы́сть до́бръ въ высотѣ̀ свое́й мно́жества ра́ди вѣ́твїй свои́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бѣ́ша коре́нїе є҆гѡ̀ въ водѣ̀ мно́зѣ.
And such cypresses [as this] were in the paradise of God; and there were no pines like his shoots, and there were no firs like his branches: no tree in the paradise of God was like him in his beauty,
κυπάρισσοι τοιαῦται οὐκ ἐγενήθησαν ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ πίτυες οὐχ ὅμοιαι ταῖς παραφυάσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλάται οὐκ ἐγένοντο ὅμοιαι τοῖς κλάδοις αὐτοῦ· πᾶν ξύλον ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ οὐχ ὡμοιώθη αὐτῷ ἐν τῷ κάλλει αὐτοῦ
И҆ кѷпарі́си не таковы̑ въ раѝ бж҃їи, и҆ со́сны неподѡ́бны ѿра́слемъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ є҆́лїе не бы́сть подо́бно вѣ́твїѧмъ є҆гѡ̀: всѧ́кое дре́во, є҆́же въ раѝ бж҃їи, не бы́сть подо́бно є҆мꙋ̀ въ добро́тѣ є҆гѡ̀, мно́жества ра́ди вѣ́твїй є҆гѡ̀.
because of the multitude of his branches: and the trees of God’s paradise of delight envied him.
διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν κλάδων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐζήλωσαν αὐτὸν τὰ ξύλα τοῦ παραδείσου τῆς τρυφῆς τοῦ Θεοῦ.
Добра̀ сотвори́хъ є҆го̀ во мно́жествѣ вѣ́твїй є҆гѡ̀, и҆ возревнова́ша є҆мꙋ̀ древеса̀ ра̑йскаѧ сла́дости бж҃їѧ.
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Because thou art grown great, and hast set thy top in the midst of the clouds, and I saw when he was exalted;
διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἀνθ’ ὧν ἐγένου μέγας τῷ μεγέθει καὶ ἔδωκας τὴν ἀρχήν σου εἰς μέσον νεφελῶν, καὶ εἶδον ἐν τῷ ὑψωθῆναι αὐτόν,
Тогѡ̀ ра́ди сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ а҆дѡнаі̀ гдⷭ҇ь: поне́же бы́лъ є҆сѝ вели́къ вели́чествомъ и҆ да́лъ є҆сѝ вла́сть свою̀ во среди́нꙋ ѡ҆́блакъ, и҆ вознесе́сѧ се́рдце є҆гѡ̀ въ высотѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ви́дѣхъ, є҆гда̀ вознесе́сѧ:
therefore I delivered him into the hands of the prince of the nations, and he wrought his destruction.
καὶ παρέδωκα αὐτὸν εἰς χεῖρας ἄρχοντος ἐθνῶν, καὶ ἐποίησε τὴν ἀπώλειαν αὐτοῦ.
и҆ преда́хъ є҆го̀ въ рꙋ́цѣ кнѧ́зѧ ꙗ҆зы́ческа, и҆ сотворѝ па́гꙋбꙋ є҆гѡ̀, по нече́стїю є҆гѡ̀.
And ravaging strangers from the nations have destroyed him, and have cast him down upon the mountains: his branches fell in all the valleys, and his boughs were broken in every field of the land; and all the people of the nations are gone down from their shelter, and have laid him low.
καὶ ἐξωλόθρευσαν αὐτὸν ἀλλότριοι λοιμοὶ ἀπὸ ἐθνῶν καὶ κατέβαλον αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων, ἐν πάσαις ταῖς φάραγξιν ἔπεσαν οἱ κλάδοι αὐτοῦ, καὶ συνετρίβη τὰ στελέχη αὐτοῦ ἐν παντὶ πεδίῳ τῆς γῆς, καὶ κατέβησαν ἀπὸ τῆς σκέπης αὐτῶν πάντες οἱ λαοὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν καὶ ἠδάφισαν αὐτόν.
И҆ и҆згна́хъ є҆го̀ а҆́зъ, и҆ потреби́ша є҆го̀ чꙋжді́и гꙋби́телїе ѿ ꙗ҆зы̑къ, и҆ поверго́ша є҆го̀ на гора́хъ: и҆ во всѣ́хъ де́брехъ падо́ша вѣ̑тви є҆гѡ̀, и҆ сотро́шасѧ ѿра̑сли є҆гѡ̀ на всѧ́цѣмъ по́ли земнѣ́мъ, и҆ снидо́ша ѿ покро́ва є҆гѡ̀ всѝ лю́дїе ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ и҆ разори́ша є҆го̀.
All the birds of the sky have settled on his fallen trunk, and all the wild beasts of the field came upon his boughs:
ἐπὶ τὴν πτῶσιν αὐτοῦ ἀνεπαύσαντο πάντα τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ στελέχη αὐτοῦ ἐγένοντο πάντα τὰ θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ,
Во паде́нїи є҆гѡ̀ почи́ша всѧ̑ пти̑цы небє́сныѧ, и҆ на сте́блїехъ є҆гѡ̀ бы́ша всѝ ѕвѣ́рїе се́льнїи,
in order that none of the trees by the water should exalt themselves by reason of their size: whereas they set their top in the midst of the clouds, yet they continued not in their high state in their place, all that drank water, all were consigned to death, to the depth of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
ὅπως μὴ ὑψωθῶσιν ἐν τῷ μεγέθει αὐτῶν πάντα τὰ ξύλα τὰ ἐν τῷ ὕδατι· καὶ ἔδωκαν τὴν ἀρχὴν αὐτῶν εἰς μέσον νεφελῶν καὶ οὐκ ἔστησαν ἐν τῷ ὕψει αὐτῶν πρὸς αὐτὰ πάντες οἱ πίνοντες ὕδωρ. πάντες ἐδόθησαν εἰς θάνατον, εἰς γῆς βάθος, ἐν μέσῳ υἱῶν ἀνθρώπων πρὸς καταβαίνοντας εἰς βόθρον. -
ꙗ҆́кѡ да не возно́сѧтсѧ вели́чествомъ свои́мъ всѧ̑ древеса̀, ꙗ҆̀же въ водѣ̀, и҆ не дадѧ́тъ вла́сти своеѧ̀ средѣ̀ ѡ҆́блакъ, и҆ не ста́нꙋтъ въ высотѣ̀ и҆́хъ къ немꙋ̀ всѝ пїю́щїи во́дꙋ, всѝ ѿда́ни бы́ша во сме́рть во глꙋбинꙋ̀ землѝ, средѣ̀ сынѡ́въ человѣ́ческихъ къ низходѧ́щымъ въ про́пасть.
Thus saith the Lord God; In the day wherein he went down to Hades, the deep mourned for him: and I stayed her floods, and restrained her abundance of water: and Libanus saddened for him, all the trees of the field fainted for him.
Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος· ἐν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ κατέβη εἰς ᾅδου, ἐπένθησεν αὐτὸν ἡ ἄβυσσος, καὶ ἐπέστησα τοὺς ποταμοὺς αὐτῆς καὶ ἐκώλυσα πλῆθος ὕδατος, καὶ ἐσκότασεν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν ὁ Λίβανος, πάντα τὰ ξύλα τοῦ πεδίου ἐπ’ αὐτῷ ἐξελύθησαν.
Сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ а҆дѡнаі̀ гдⷭ҇ь: во́ньже де́нь сведе́сѧ во а҆́дъ, пла́касѧ ѡ҆ не́мъ бе́здна: и҆ ᲂу҆держа́хъ рѣ́ки є҆ѧ̀ и҆ возбрани́хъ мно́жествꙋ во́дъ, и҆ поме́рче ѡ҆ не́мъ лїва́нъ, и҆ всѧ̑ древеса̀ полєва́ѧ ѡ҆ не́мъ разсла́бишасѧ:
At the sound of his fall the nations quaked, when I brought him down to Hades with them that go down to the pit: and all the trees of Delight comforted him in the heart, and the choice of [plants] of Libanus, all that drink water.
ἀπὸ τῆς φωνῆς τῆς πτώσεως αὐτοῦ ἐσείσθησαν τὰ ἔθνη, ὅτε κατεβίβαζον αὐτὸν εἰς ᾅδου μετὰ τῶν καταβαινόντων εἰς λάκκον, καὶ παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν ἐν γῇ πάντα τὰ ξύλα τῆς τρυφῆς καὶ τὰ ἐκλεκτὰ τοῦ Λιβάνου, πάντα τὰ πίνοντα ὕδωρ.
ѿ гла́са паде́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ потрѧсо́шасѧ ꙗ҆зы́цы, є҆гда̀ свожда́хъ є҆го̀ во а҆́дъ со снизходѧ́щими въ ро́въ, и҆ ᲂу҆тѣша́хꙋ є҆го̀ въ землѝ до́льнѣйшей всѧ̑ древеса̀ сла́дости, и҆ и҆збра̑ннаѧ и҆ дѡ́браѧ лїва́нѡва, всѧ̑ пїю̑щаѧ во́дꙋ:
For they went down to hell with him among the slain with the sword; and his seed, [even] they that dwelt under his shadow, perished in the midst of their life.
καὶ γὰρ αὐτοὶ κατέβησαν μετ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς ᾅδου ἐν τοῖς τραυματίαις ἀπὸ μαχαίρας, καὶ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ, οἱ κατοικοῦντες ὑπὸ τὴν σκέπην αὐτοῦ, ἐν μέσῳ τῆς ζωῆς αὐτῶν ἀπώλοντο.
и҆ та̑ бо сведо́шасѧ съ ни́мъ во а҆́дъ со ꙗ҆́звеными ѿ меча̀, и҆ сѣ́мѧ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ живꙋ́щїи под̾ покро́вомъ є҆гѡ̀ средѣ̀ жи́зни своеѧ̀ погибо́ша.
To whom art thou compared? descend, and be thou debased with the trees of paradise to the depth of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword. Thus shall Pharao be, and the multitude of his host, saith the Lord God.
τίνι ὡμοιώθης; κατάβηθι καὶ καταβιβάσθητι μετὰ τῶν ξύλων τῆς τρυφῆς εἰς γῆς βάθος· ἐν μέσῳ ἀπεριτμήτων κοιμηθήσῃ μετὰ τραυματιῶν μαχαίρας. οὕτως Φαραὼ καὶ τὸ πλῆθος τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος.
Комꙋ̀ ᲂу҆подо́билсѧ є҆сѝ си́лою и҆ сла́вою и҆ вели́чествомъ во древесѣ́хъ сла́дости; Слѣ́зи и҆ сни́ди со древеса́ми сла́дости во глꙋбинꙋ̀ земнꙋ́ю: средѣ̀ неѡбрѣ́заныхъ ᲂу҆́спнеши со ꙗ҆́звеными мече́мъ: та́кѡ фараѡ́нъ и҆ всѐ мно́жество крѣ́пости є҆гѡ̀, гл҃етъ а҆дѡнаі̀ гдⷭ҇ь.
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἑνδεκάτῳ ἔτει, ἐν τῷ τρίτῳ μηνί, μιᾷ τοῦ μηνός, ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
И҆ бы́сть во є҆динонадесѧ́тое лѣ́то, въ тре́тїй мцⷭ҇ъ, во є҆ди́нъ де́нь мцⷭ҇а, бы́сть сло́во гдⷭ҇не ко мнѣ̀ гл҃ѧ:
