以西結書 31	Ezekiel 31
以西結書 31:1 ^ 十一年三月初一日、耶和華的話臨到我說、	Ezekiel 31:1 ^ Now in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
以西結書 31:2 ^ 人子阿、你要向埃及王法老和他的眾人說、在威勢上誰能與你相比呢。	Ezekiel 31:2 ^ Son of man, say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to his people; Whom are you like in your great power?
以西結書 31:3 ^ 亞述王曾如利巴嫩中的香柏樹、枝條榮美、影密如林、極其高大、樹尖插入雲中。	Ezekiel 31:3 ^ See, a pine-tree with beautiful branches and thick growth, giving shade and very tall; and its top was among the clouds.
以西結書 31:4 ^ 眾水使他生長、深水使他長大．所栽之地有江河圍流、汊出的水道、延到田野諸樹。	Ezekiel 31:4 ^ It got strength from the waters and the deep made it tall: its streams went round about its planted land and it sent out its waterways to all the trees of the field.
以西結書 31:5 ^ 所以他高大超過田野諸樹、發旺的時候、枝子繁多．因得大水之力枝條長長。	Ezekiel 31:5 ^ In this way it became taller than all the trees of the field; and its branches were increased and its arms became long because of the great waters.
以西結書 31:6 ^ 空中的飛鳥、都在枝子上搭窩．田野的走獸、都在枝條下生子．所有大國的人民、都在他蔭下居住。	Ezekiel 31:6 ^ In its branches all the birds of heaven came to rest, and under its arms all the beasts of the field gave birth to their young, and great nations were living in its shade.
以西結書 31:7 ^ 樹大條長、成為榮美、因為根在眾水之旁。	Ezekiel 31:7 ^ So it was beautiful, being so tall and its branches so long, for its root was by great waters.
以西結書 31:8 ^ 　神園中的香柏樹不能遮蔽他．松樹不及他的枝子、楓樹不及他的枝條．　神園中的樹、都沒有他榮美。	Ezekiel 31:8 ^ No cedars were equal to it in the garden of God; the fir-trees were not like its branches, and plane-trees were as nothing in comparison with its arms; no tree in the garden of God was so beautiful.
以西結書 31:9 ^ 我使他的枝條蕃多、成為榮美、以致　神伊甸園中的樹都嫉妒他。	Ezekiel 31:9 ^ I made it beautiful with its mass of branches: so that all the trees in the garden of God were full of envy of it.
以西結書 31:10 ^ 所以主耶和華如此說、因他高大、樹尖插入雲中、心驕氣傲．	Ezekiel 31:10 ^ For this cause the Lord has said: Because he is tall, and has put his top among the clouds, and his heart is full of pride because he is so high,
以西結書 31:11 ^ 我就必將他交給列國中大有威勢的人．他必定辦他．我因他的罪惡、已經驅逐他。	Ezekiel 31:11 ^ I have given him up into the hands of a strong one of the nations; he will certainly give him the reward of his sin, driving him out.
以西結書 31:12 ^ 外邦人、就是列邦中強暴的、將他砍斷棄掉．他的枝條落在山間和一切谷中．他的枝子折斷、落在地的一切河旁．地上的眾民已經走去、離開他的蔭下。	Ezekiel 31:12 ^ And men from strange lands, who are to be feared among the nations, after cutting him off, have let him be: on the mountains and in all the valleys his branches have come down; his arms are broken by all the waterways of the land; all the peoples of the earth have gone from his shade, and have let him be.
以西結書 31:13 ^ 空中的飛鳥、都要宿在這敗落的樹上．田野的走獸、都要臥在他的枝條下．	Ezekiel 31:13 ^ All the birds of heaven have come to rest on his broken stem where it is stretched on the earth, and all the beasts of the field will be on his branches:
以西結書 31:14 ^ 好使水旁的諸樹、不因高大而自尊、也不將樹尖插入雲中、並且那些得水滋潤有勢力的、也不得高大自立．因為他們在世人中、和下坑的人都被交與死亡、到陰府去了。	Ezekiel 31:14 ^ In order that no trees by the waters may be lifted up in their growth, putting their tops among the clouds; and that no trees which are watered may take their place on high: for they are all given up to death, to the lowest parts of the earth among the children of men, with those who go down to the underworld.
以西結書 31:15 ^ 主耶和華如此說、他下陰間的那日、我便使人悲哀．我為他遮蓋深淵、使江河凝結、大水停流、我也使利巴嫩為他悽慘、田野的諸樹、都因他發昏。	Ezekiel 31:15 ^ This is what the Lord has said: The day when he goes down to the underworld, I will make the deep full of grief for him; I will keep back her streams and the great waters will be stopped: I will make Lebanon dark for him, and all the trees of the field will be feeble because of him.
以西結書 31:16 ^ 我將他扔到陰間、與下坑的人一同下去．那時、列國聽見他墜落的響聲、就都震動、並且伊甸的一切樹、就是利巴嫩得水滋潤最佳最美的樹、都在陰府受了安慰。	Ezekiel 31:16 ^ I will send shaking on the nations at the sound of his fall, when I send him down to the underworld with those who go down into the deep: and on earth they will be comforting themselves, all the trees of Eden, the best of Lebanon, even all the watered ones.
以西結書 31:17 ^ 他們也與他同下陰間、到被殺的人那裡．他們曾作他的膀臂、在列國中他的蔭下居住。	Ezekiel 31:17 ^ And they will go down with him to the underworld, to those who have been put to the sword; even those who were his helpers, living under his shade among the nations
以西結書 31:18 ^ 在這樣榮耀威勢上、在伊甸園諸樹中、誰能與你相比呢．然而你要與伊甸的諸樹一同下到陰府、在未受割禮的人中、與被殺的人一同躺臥．法老和他的群眾乃是如此．這是主耶和華說的。	Ezekiel 31:18 ^ Whom then are you like? for you will be sent down with the trees of Eden into the lowest parts of the earth: there you will be stretched out among those without circumcision, with those who were put to the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his people, says the Lord.
