Parallel
Ezekiel 31
Louis Segond 1910 · Berean Standard Bible
La onzième année, le premier jour du troisième mois, la parole de l’Éternel me fut adressée, en ces mots:
In the eleventh year, on the first day of the third month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Fils de l’homme, dis à Pharaon, roi d’Égypte, et à sa multitude:
“Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his multitude: ‘Who can be compared to your greatness?
Voici, l’Assyrie était un cèdre du Liban;
Look at Assyria, a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches that shaded the forest. It towered on high; its top was among the clouds.
Les eaux l’avaient fait croître,
The waters made it grow; the deep springs made it tall, directing their streams all around its base and sending their channels to all the trees of the field.
C’est pourquoi sa tige s’élevait au-dessus de tous les arbres des champs,
Therefore it towered higher than all the trees of the field. Its branches multiplied, and its boughs grew long as it spread them out because of the abundant waters.
Tous les oiseaux du ciel nichaient dans ses branches,
All the birds of the air nested in its branches, and all the beasts of the field gave birth beneath its boughs; all the great nations lived in its shade.
Il était beau par sa grandeur, par l’étendue de ses branches,
It was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its limbs, for its roots extended to abundant waters.
Les cèdres du jardin de Dieu ne le surpassaient point,
The cedars in the garden of God could not rival it; the cypresses (note: Or pines or junipers or firs) could not compare with its branches, nor the plane trees (note: Possibly chestnut or juniper) match its boughs. No tree in the garden of God could compare with its beauty.
Je l’avais embelli par la multitude de ses branches,
I made it beautiful with its many branches, the envy of all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God.’
C’est pourquoi ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel:
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Since it became great (note: Hebrew you became great) in height and set its top among the clouds (note: Or through the thick boughs), and it grew proud on account of its height,
Je l’ai livré entre les mains du héros des nations,
I delivered it into the hand of the ruler of the nations, for him to deal with it according to its wickedness. I have banished it.
Des étrangers, les plus violents des peuples, l’ont abattu et rejeté;
Foreigners, the most ruthless of the nations, cut it down and left it. Its branches have fallen on the mountains and in every valley; its boughs lay broken in all the earth’s ravines. And all the peoples of the earth left its shade and abandoned it.
Sur ses débris sont venus se poser tous les oiseaux du ciel,
All the birds of the air nested on its fallen trunk, and all the beasts of the field lived among its boughs.
Afin que tous les arbres près des eaux n’élèvent plus leur tige,
This happened so that no other trees by the waters would become great in height and set their tops among the clouds, and no other well-watered trees would reach them in height. For they have all been consigned to death, to the depths of the earth, among the mortals who descend to the Pit.’
Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel:
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘On the day it was brought down to Sheol, I caused mourning. I covered the deep because of it; I held back its rivers; its abundant waters were restrained. I made Lebanon mourn for it, and all the trees of the field fainted because of it.
Par le bruit de sa chute j’ai fait trembler les nations,
I made the nations quake at the sound of its downfall, when I cast it down to Sheol with those who descend to the Pit. Then all the trees of Eden, the choicest and best of Lebanon, all the well-watered trees, were consoled in the earth below.
Eux aussi sont descendus avec lui dans le séjour des morts,
They too descended with it to Sheol, to those slain by the sword. As its allies they had lived in its shade among the nations.
A qui ressembles-tu ainsi en gloire et en grandeur
Who then is like you in glory and greatness among the trees of Eden? You also will be brought down to the depths of the earth 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 multitude, declares the Lord GOD.’”
