31：1 十一年三月初一日，耶和華的話臨到我說，And it came to pass in the eleventh year， in the third month， in the first day of the month， that the word of the LORD came unto me， saying，

　　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。

　　Son of man， speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt， and to his multitude； Whom art thou like in thy greatness？

　　31：3 亞述王曾如黎巴嫩中的香柏樹，枝條榮美，影密如林，極其高大，樹尖插入云中。

　　Behold， the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches， and with a shadowing shroud， and of an high stature； and his top was among the thick boughs.

　　31：4 眾水使它生長。深水使它長大。所栽之地有江河圍流，汊出的水道延到田野諸樹。

　　The waters made him great， the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants， and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.

　　31：5 所以它高大超過田野諸樹。發旺的時候，枝子繁多，因得大水之力枝條長長。

　　Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field， and his boughs were multiplied， and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters， when he shot forth.

　　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它蔭下居住。

　　All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs， and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young， and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.

　　31：7 樹大條長，成為榮美，因為根在眾水之旁。

　　Thus was he fair in his greatness， in the length of his branches： for his root was by great waters.

　　31：8 神園中的香柏樹不能遮蔽它。松樹不及它的枝子。楓樹不及它的枝條。神園中的樹都沒有它榮美。

　　The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him： the fir trees were not like his boughs， and the chestnut trees were not like his branches； nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.

　　31：9 我使它的枝條蕃多，成為榮美，以致神伊甸園中的樹都嫉妒它。

　　I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches： so that all the trees of Eden， that were in the garden of God， envied him.

　　31：10 所以主耶和華如此說，因它高大，樹尖插入云中，心驕氣傲，Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD； Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height， and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs， and his heart is lifted up in his height；

　　31：11 我就必將它交給列國中大有威勢的人。他必定辦它。我因它的罪惡，已經驅逐它。

　　I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen； he shall surely deal with him： I have driven him out for his wickedness.

　　31：12 外邦人，就是列邦中強暴的，將它砍斷棄掉。它的枝條落在山間和一切谷中，它的枝子折斷，落在地的一切河旁。地上的眾民已經走去，離開它的蔭下。

　　And strangers， the terrible of the nations， have cut him off， and have left him： upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen， and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land； and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow， and have left him.

　　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它的枝條下，Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain， and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches：

　　31：14 好使水旁的諸樹不因高大而自尊，也不將樹尖插入云中，并且那些得水滋潤，有勢力的，也不得高大自立。因為它們在世人中，和下坑的人都被交與死亡，到陰府去了。

　　To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height， neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs， neither their trees stand up in their height， all that drink water： for they are all delivered unto death， to the nether parts of the earth， in the midst of the children of men， with them that go down to the pit.

　　31：15 主耶和華如此說，它下陰間的那日，我便使人悲哀。我為它遮蓋深淵，使江河凝結，大水停流。我也使黎巴嫩為它凄慘，田野的諸樹都因它發昏。

　　Thus saith the Lord GOD； In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning： I covered the deep for him， and I restrained the floods thereof， and the great waters were stayed： and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him， and all the trees of the field fainted for him.

　　31：16 我將它扔到陰間，與下坑的人一同下去。那時，列國聽見它墜落的響聲就都震動，并且伊甸的一切樹就是黎巴嫩得水滋潤，最佳最美的樹都在陰府受了安慰。

　　I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall， when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit： and all the trees of Eden， the choice and best of Lebanon， all that drink water， shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.

　　31：17 它們也與它同下陰間，到被殺的人那里。它們曾作它的膀臂，在列國中它的蔭下居住。

　　They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain with the sword； and they that were his arm， that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.

　　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。

　　To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden？ yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth： thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude， saith the Lord GOD.
