以西结书 31
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
香柏树的比喻
31 第十一年三月一日,耶和华对我说: 2 “人子啊,你要对埃及王法老和他的百姓说,
“‘谁能比你强大呢?
3 看啊,亚述曾是黎巴嫩的一棵香柏树,
枝繁叶茂,遮天蔽日,
高耸入云。
4 它在河流和深泉的滋润下茁壮成长,
溪流四围环绕它,
浇灌着林间的树木。
5 充足的水源使它高过田间所有的树木,
枝子长得又粗又长。
6 空中的飞鸟都在它的枝头上搭窝,
田间的野兽都在它的树荫下生产,
所有的大国都住在它的荫下。
7 它高大美丽,枝干修长,
因为树根深入水源,
8 连上帝园中的香柏树也不能与它相比。
松树不能与它的枝干相比,
枫树不能与它的枝条相比,
主耶和华园中的树木没有一棵能与它媲美。
9 我使它枝繁叶茂,美丽无比,
以致上帝伊甸园里的树木都羡慕它。’
10 “因此,主耶和华说,‘因为它树干高大,树梢高耸入云,心高气傲, 11 我要把它交在列国的首领手里,他必按照它的邪恶惩治它。我丢弃了它。 12 外族人,就是列邦中最残暴的人要把它砍倒,丢弃在那里,它折断的枝干散落在山间和河谷中。世上各族都离开它的荫下, 13 天上的飞禽要栖身在那折断的树干上,地上的走兽要躺卧在它的枝条中。 14 故此,水边的树木都不再傲然矗立,高耸入云,水源充足的大树也不再如此高大,因为它们都注定要与下坟墓的人一同死亡,落到阴间的深处。’
15 “主耶和华说,‘它下到阴间的那天,我要使哀声响起,使深渊闭塞,江河止息,洪水停滞。我要使黎巴嫩为它哀哭,田野的树木因它而枯萎。 16 我将它与下坟墓的人一同抛到阴间时,列国听见它坠落的响声,都恐惧战抖。伊甸园中的树木和黎巴嫩水源充足、上好的树木都在阴间得到安慰。 17 在它荫庇下做它爪牙的盟友都与它一同落到阴间,到被杀的人那里。
18 “‘伊甸园的树木中,谁能与你的威荣相比呢?然而你却要与伊甸园的树木一同下到阴间,躺卧在未受割礼的人当中,与被杀的人在一起。
“‘这就是法老和他百姓的结局。这是主耶和华说的。’”

Chinese New Version (Traditional)
大香柏樹的比喻
31 十一年三月初一日,耶和華的話臨到我說: 2 “人子啊!你要對埃及王法老和他的眾民說:
‘論到你的偉大,誰能與你相比呢?
3 看哪!亞述曾是黎巴嫩的香柏樹,
枝條秀美,林影茂密,
樹身高大,
樹頂在茂密的枝葉之上。
4 眾水使它長大,深淵使它長高;
有江河從深淵流出環繞它栽種之地,
又有支流延到田間的眾樹。
5 因此,它樹身高大,高過田間的眾樹;
它發旺生長的時候,因為水源豐足,
所以枝子繁多,枝條長長。
6 空中的飛鳥都在枝上搭窩;
田野的走獸都在枝條下生產;
所有大國都在它的樹蔭下居住。
7 它樹身高大,枝條長長而顯得秀美,
因為它的根扎在水多的地方。
8 神園中的香柏樹不能與它相比,
松樹比不上它的枝子;
楓樹也不及它的枝條;
神園中所有的樹木都比不上它的秀美。
9 我使它因枝條繁多而顯得秀美,
以致在 神的園中,伊甸所有的樹木都嫉妒它。
因驕狂而敗亡
10 “‘因此,主耶和華這樣說:因為它樹身高大,樹頂在茂密的枝葉之上,又因它高大而心驕氣傲, 11 我就把它交在列國中為首的人手中,他必定對付它;因著它的罪惡,我就把它驅逐出去。 12 必有外族人,就是列國中最強暴的,把它砍下丟棄。它的枝葉落在山上和所有的谷中;它的枝子折斷,落在地上所有的水溝裡;地上的萬族都必走離它的蔭下,把它丟棄。 13 空中的飛鳥都住在倒下的樹身上,田野的走獸都臥在它的枝條間。 14 好使水旁所有的樹木都不會因樹身高大而自高,也不會使樹頂長到茂密的枝葉上,又使一切有水滋潤的樹都不會高傲地屹立;因為他們在世人中,與那些下到陰府的人一起,都交與死亡、交與地的深處了。
15 “‘主耶和華這樣說:它下陰間的日子,我就因它以悲哀遮蓋深淵,阻塞深淵的江河,使大水停流;我要使黎巴嫩為它悲傷、田野所有的樹木都因它枯乾。 16 我把它扔下陰間,與那些下到陰府的人一起的時候,我就使列國因它墜落的響聲而震驚。伊甸所有的樹木,就是黎巴嫩有水滋潤、最佳最美的樹,都在地的深處得到安慰。 17 這些樹與它一同下到陰間,往那些被刀劍所殺的人那裡去。他們作過它的膀臂,曾在列國中住在它的蔭下。 18 在伊甸所有的樹木中,有誰的榮美和高大能與你相比呢?然而你卻要與伊甸的樹木一同下到地的深處。你要在沒有受割禮的人中,與被刀劍所殺的人一同躺臥。這樹就是法老和他的眾民。這是主耶和華說的。’”
Ezekiel 31
New International Version
Pharaoh as a Felled Cedar of Lebanon
31 In the eleventh year,(A) in the third month on the first day, the word of the Lord came to me:(B) 2 “Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his hordes:
“‘Who can be compared with you in majesty?
3 Consider Assyria,(C) once a cedar in Lebanon,(D)
with beautiful branches overshadowing the forest;
it towered on high,
its top above the thick foliage.(E)
4 The waters(F) nourished it,
deep springs made it grow tall;
their streams flowed
all around its base
and sent their channels
to all the trees of the field.(G)
5 So it towered higher(H)
than all the trees of the field;
its boughs increased
and its branches grew long,
spreading because of abundant waters.(I)
6 All the birds of the sky
nested in its boughs,
all the animals of the wild
gave birth(J) under its branches;
all the great nations
lived in its shade.(K)
7 It was majestic in beauty,
with its spreading boughs,
for its roots went down
to abundant waters.(L)
8 The cedars(M) in the garden of God
could not rival it,
nor could the junipers
equal its boughs,
nor could the plane trees(N)
compare with its branches—
no tree in the garden of God
could match its beauty.(O)
9 I made it beautiful
with abundant branches,
the envy of all the trees of Eden(P)
in the garden of God.(Q)
10 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because the great cedar towered over the thick foliage, and because it was proud(R) of its height, 11 I gave it into the hands of the ruler of the nations, for him to deal with according to its wickedness. I cast it aside,(S) 12 and the most ruthless of foreign nations(T) cut it down and left it. Its boughs fell on the mountains and in all the valleys;(U) its branches lay broken in all the ravines of the land. All the nations of the earth came out from under its shade and left it.(V) 13 All the birds settled on the fallen tree, and all the wild animals lived among its branches.(W) 14 Therefore no other trees by the waters are ever to tower proudly on high, lifting their tops above the thick foliage. No other trees so well-watered are ever to reach such a height; they are all destined(X) for death,(Y) for the earth below, among mortals who go down to the realm of the dead.(Z)
15 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On the day it was brought down to the realm of the dead I covered the deep springs with mourning for it; I held back its streams, and its abundant waters were restrained. Because of it I clothed Lebanon with gloom, and all the trees of the field withered away.(AA) 16 I made the nations tremble(AB) at the sound of its fall when I brought it down to the realm of the dead to be with those who go down to the pit. Then all the trees(AC) of Eden,(AD) the choicest and best of Lebanon, the well-watered trees, were consoled(AE) in the earth below.(AF) 17 They too, like the great cedar, had gone down to the realm of the dead, to those killed by the sword,(AG) along with the armed men who lived in its shade among the nations.
18 “‘Which of the trees of Eden can be compared with you in splendor and majesty? Yet you, too, will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the earth below; you will lie among the uncircumcised,(AH) with those killed by the sword.
“‘This is Pharaoh and all his hordes, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”
