1In the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:1וַיְהִ֗י בְּאַחַ֤ת עֶשְׂרֵה֙ שָׁנָ֔ה בַּשְּׁלִישִׁ֖י בְּאֶחָ֣ד לַחֹ֑דֶשׁ הָיָ֥ה דְבַר־ יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃
2"Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his hordes, 'Who are you like in your greatness?2בֶּן־ אָדָ֕ם אֱמֹ֛ר אֶל־ פַּרְעֹ֥ה מֶֽלֶךְ־ מִצְרַ֖יִם וְאֶל־ הֲמוֹנ֑וֹ אֶל־ מִ֖י דָּמִ֥יתָ בְגָדְלֶֽךָ׃
3Think of Assyria, a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches and shady foliage and of lofty height. Its top was among the clouds.3הִנֵּ֨ה אַשּׁ֜וּר אֶ֣רֶז בַּלְּבָנ֗וֹן יְפֵ֥ה עָנָ֛ף וְחֹ֥רֶשׁ מֵצַ֖ל וּגְבַ֣הּ קוֹמָ֑ה וּבֵ֣ין עֲבֹתִ֔ים הָיְתָ֖ה צַמַּרְתּֽוֹ׃
4The waters caused it to grow; the underground springs made it tall, directing their rivers all around the place where the tree was planted and sending their channels to all the trees of the field.4מַ֣יִם גִּדְּל֔וּהוּ תְּה֖וֹם רֹֽמְמָ֑תְהוּ אֶת־ נַהֲרֹתֶ֗יהָ הֹלֵךְ֙ סְבִיב֣וֹת מַטָּעָ֔הּ וְאֶת־ תְּעָלֹתֶ֣יהָ שִׁלְחָ֔ה אֶ֖ל כָּל־ עֲצֵ֥י הַשָּׂדֶֽה׃
5Therefore the cedar became greater in height than all the trees of the field. Its branches multiplied, and its boughs grew long as it spread them out because of the abundant water.5עַל־ כֵּן֙ גָּבְהָ֣א קֹמָת֔וֹ מִכֹּ֖ל עֲצֵ֣י הַשָּׂדֶ֑ה וַתִּרְבֶּ֨ינָה סַֽרְעַפֹּתָ֜יו וַתֶּאֱרַ֧כְנָה [פארתו] (פֹארֹתָ֛יו) מִמַּ֥יִם רַבִּ֖ים בְּשַׁלְּחֽוֹ׃
6All the birds of the sky nested in its branches, and all the animals of the field gave birth beneath its boughs; all the great nations lived in its shade.6בִּסְעַפֹּתָ֤יו קִֽנְנוּ֙ כָּל־ ע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וְתַ֤חַת פֹּֽארֹתָיו֙ יָֽלְד֔וּ כֹּ֖ל חַיַּ֣ת הַשָּׂדֶ֑ה וּבְצִלּוֹ֙ יֵֽשְׁב֔וּ כֹּ֖ל גּוֹיִ֥ם רַבִּֽים׃
7It was beautiful in its size, in the length of its limbs, for its roots extended to abundant water.7וַיְּיִ֣ף בְּגָדְל֔וֹ בְּאֹ֖רֶךְ דָּֽלִיּוֹתָ֑יו כִּֽי־ הָיָ֥ה שָׁרְשׁ֖וֹ אֶל־ מַ֥יִם רַבִּֽים׃
8The cedars in God's garden could not eclipse it; the pine trees couldn't compare with its branches, nor could the plane trees match its boughs. No tree in the garden of God could compare with it in beauty.8אֲרָזִ֣ים לֹֽא־ עֲמָמֻהוּ֮ בְּגַן־ אֱלֹהִים֒ בְּרוֹשִׁ֗ים לֹ֤א דָמוּ֙ אֶל־ סְעַפֹּתָ֔יו וְעַרְמֹנִ֥ים לֹֽא־ הָי֖וּ כְּפֹֽארֹתָ֑יו כָּל־ עֵץ֙ בְּגַן־ אֱלֹהִ֔ים לֹא־ דָמָ֥ה אֵלָ֖יו בְּיָפְיֽוֹ׃
9I made it beautiful with its many limbs, and all the trees of Eden, which were in God's garden, envied it.9יָפֶ֣ה עֲשִׂיתִ֔יו בְּרֹ֖ב דָּֽלִיּוֹתָ֑יו וַיְקַנְאֻ֙הוּ֙ כָּל־ עֲצֵי־ עֵ֔דֶן אֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּגַ֥ן הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ ס
10"'Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: Since it towered high in stature and set its top among the clouds, and it grew proud on account of its height,10לָכֵ֗ן כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה יַ֕עַן אֲשֶׁ֥ר גָּבַ֖הְתָּ בְּקוֹמָ֑ה וַיִּתֵּ֤ן צַמַּרְתּוֹ֙ אֶל־ בֵּ֣ין עֲבוֹתִ֔ים וְרָ֥ם לְבָב֖וֹ בְּגָבְהֽוֹ׃
11I determined to hand it over to a ruler of nations; he would surely deal with it. I banished it because of its wickedness.11וְאֶ֨תְּנֵ֔הוּ בְּיַ֖ד אֵ֣יל גּוֹיִ֑ם עָשׂ֤וֹ יַֽעֲשֶׂה֙ ל֔וֹ כְּרִשְׁע֖וֹ גֵּרַשְׁתִּֽהוּ׃
12Foreigners, ruthless men from the nations, cut it down and left it lying. Its limbs fell on the mountains and in every valley; its boughs lay broken in all the earth's ravines. All the peoples of the earth left its shade and abandoned it.12וַיִּכְרְתֻ֧הוּ זָרִ֛ים עָרִיצֵ֥י גוֹיִ֖ם וַֽיִּטְּשֻׁ֑הוּ אֶל־ הֶ֠הָרִים וּבְכָל־ גֵּ֨אָי֜וֹת נָפְל֣וּ דָלִיּוֹתָ֗יו וַתִּשָּׁבַ֤רְנָה פֹֽארֹתָיו֙ בְּכֹל֙ אֲפִיקֵ֣י הָאָ֔רֶץ וַיֵּרְד֧וּ מִצִּלּ֛וֹ כָּל־ עַמֵּ֥י הָאָ֖רֶץ וַֽיִּטְּשֻֽׁהוּ׃
13All the birds of the sky nested on its fallen trunk, and all the animals of the field were among its boughs.13עַל־ מַפַּלְתּ֥וֹ יִשְׁכְּנ֖וּ כָּל־ ע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם וְאֶל־ פֹּארֹתָ֣יו הָי֔וּ כֹּ֖ל חַיַּ֥ת הַשָּׂדֶֽה׃
14This happened so that no trees planted beside water would become great in height and set their tops among the clouds, and so that no other well-watered trees would reach them in height. For they have all been consigned to death, to the underworld, among the people who descend to the Pit.14לְמַ֡עַן אֲשֶׁר֩ לֹא־ יִגְבְּה֨וּ בְקוֹמָתָ֜ם כָּל־ עֲצֵי־ מַ֗יִם וְלֹֽא־ יִתְּנ֤וּ אֶת־ צַמַּרְתָּם֙ אֶל־ בֵּ֣ין עֲבֹתִ֔ים וְלֹֽא־ יַעַמְד֧וּ אֵלֵיהֶ֛ם בְּגָבְהָ֖ם כָּל־ שֹׁ֣תֵי מָ֑יִם כִּֽי־ כֻלָּם֩ נִתְּנ֨וּ לַמָּ֜וֶת אֶל־ אֶ֣רֶץ תַּחְתִּ֗ית בְּת֛וֹךְ בְּנֵ֥י אָדָ֖ם אֶל־ י֥וֹרְדֵי בֽוֹר׃ ס
15"'This is what the Lord GOD says: I caused grieving on the day the cedar went down to Sheol. I closed off the underground deep because of it: I held back the rivers of the deep, and its abundant water was restrained. I made Lebanon mourn on account of it, and all the trees of the field fainted because of it.15כֹּֽה־ אָמַ֞ר אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֗ה בְּי֨וֹם רִדְתּ֤וֹ שְׁא֙וֹלָה֙ הֶאֱבַ֜לְתִּי כִּסֵּ֤תִי עָלָיו֙ אֶת־ תְּה֔וֹם וָֽאֶמְנַע֙ נַהֲרוֹתֶ֔יהָ וַיִּכָּלְא֖וּ מַ֣יִם רַבִּ֑ים וָאַקְדִּ֤ר עָלָיו֙ לְבָנ֔וֹן וְכָל־ עֲצֵ֥י הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה עָלָ֥יו עֻלְפֶּֽה׃
16I made the nations quake at the sound of its downfall, when I threw it down to Sheol to be with those who descend to the Pit. Then all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all the well-watered trees, were comforted in the underworld.16מִקּ֤וֹל מַפַּלְתּוֹ֙ הִרְעַ֣שְׁתִּי גוֹיִ֔ם בְּהוֹרִדִ֥י אֹת֛וֹ שְׁא֖וֹלָה אֶת־ י֣וֹרְדֵי ב֑וֹר וַיִּנָּ֨חֲמ֜וּ בְּאֶ֤רֶץ תַּחְתִּית֙ כָּל־ עֲצֵי־ עֵ֔דֶן מִבְחַ֥ר וְטוֹב־ לְבָנ֖וֹן כָּל־ שֹׁ֥תֵי מָֽיִם׃
17They too descended with it to Sheol, to those slain by the sword. As its allies they had lived in its shade among the nations.17גַּם־ הֵ֗ם אִתּ֛וֹ יָרְד֥וּ שְׁא֖וֹלָה אֶל־ חַלְלֵי־ חָ֑רֶב וּזְרֹע֛וֹ יָשְׁב֥וּ בְצִלּ֖וֹ בְּת֥וֹךְ גּוֹיִֽם׃
18"'Who then are you like in glory and greatness among Eden's trees? You also will be brought down to the underworld to be with the trees of Eden. You will lie among the uncircumcised with those slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his hordes. This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.'"18אֶל־ מִ֨י דָמִ֥יתָ כָּ֛כָה בְּכָב֥וֹד וּבְגֹ֖דֶל בַּעֲצֵי־ עֵ֑דֶן וְהוּרַדְתָּ֨ אֶת־ עֲצֵי־ עֵ֜דֶן אֶל־ אֶ֣רֶץ תַּחְתִּ֗ית בְּת֨וֹךְ עֲרֵלִ֤ים תִּשְׁכַּב֙ אֶת־ חַלְלֵי־ חֶ֔רֶב ה֤וּא פַרְעֹה֙ וְכָל־ הֲמוֹנֹ֔ה‪‬ נְאֻ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה׃ ס
