King James Version
AFR DVK
1
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,
En dit het gebeur in die elfde jaar, in die derde maand, op die eerste dag van die maand, dat die woord van die HERE tot my gekom het, sê,
2
Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
Seun van die mens, sê tot Farao koning van Egipte, en tot sy menigte; Aan wie is jy gelyk in jou grootheid?
3
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.
Kyk, die Assiriër was ’n seder in Líbanon met mooi takke, en met ’n skaduagtige bedekking, en van ’n hoë gestalte; en sy top was tussen die digte takke.
4
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.
Die waters het hom groot gemaak, die diepte het hom hoog opgebring met haar riviere wat rondom sy plante loop, en het haar kanale uitgestuur tot by al die bome van die veld.
5
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.
Daarom was sy hoogte verhef bo al die bome van die veld, en sy takke is vermenigvuldig, en sy takke het lank geword vanweë die menigte van waters, toe hy uitspruit.
6
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.
Al die voëls van die hemel het hulle neste in sy takke gemaak, en onder sy takke het al die diere van die veld hulle jonges voortgebring, en onder sy skaduwee het al die groot nasies gewoon.
7
Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.
So was hy mooi in sy grootheid, in die lengte van sy takke: want sy wortel was by groot waters.
8
The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chesnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
Die seders in die tuin van God kon hom nie verberg nie: die dennebome was nie soos sy takke nie, en die kastanjebome was nie soos sy takke nie; en geen boom in die tuin van God was soos hy in sy skoonheid nie.
9
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.
Ek het hom mooi gemaak deur die menigte van sy takke: sodat al die bome van Eden, wat in die tuin van God was, hom beny het.
10
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;
Daarom so sê die Here GOD; Omdat jy jouself in hoogte verhef het, en hy sy top tussen die digte takke opgesteek het, en sy hart verhef is in sy hoogte;
11
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.
Ek het hom daarom in die hand van die magtige van die nasies oorgegee; hy sal sekerlik met hom handel: ek het hom uitgedryf vir sy goddeloosheid.
12
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.
En vreemdelinge, die verskriklikste van die nasies, het hom afgekap, en hom verlaat: sy takke is op die berge en in al die valleie geval, en sy takke is gebreek by al die riviere van die land; en al die volk van die aarde is van sy skaduwee af weggegaan, en hom verlaat.
13
Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
Op sy puin sal al die voëls van die hemel bly, en al die diere van die veld sal op sy takke wees:
14
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.
Tot die einde toe dat geen van al die bome by die waters hulle vir hulle hoogte verhef nie, en ook nie hulle top tussen die digte takke opsteek nie, en dat hulle magtiges nie onder hulleself staan in hulle hoogte, almal wat water drink nie: want hulle is almal oorgegee tot die dood, tot die laer dele van die aarde, in die midde van die kinders van die mens, met dié wat in die put afdaal.
15
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.
So sê die Here GOD; In die dag toe hy na die graf afgegaan het, het ek ’n treuring laat maak: ek het die diepte vir hom bedek, en ek het haar vloede teruggehou, en die groot waters is gestuit: en ek het Líbanon vir hom laat treur, en al die bome van die veld het vir hom verwelk.
16
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.
Ek het die nasies laat bewe by die geluid van sy val, toe ek hom na die graf laat afdaal het met dié wat in die put afdaal: en al die bome van Eden, die keurige en beste van Líbanon, almal wat water drink, is in die laer dele van die aarde getroos.
17
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.
Hulle het ook saam met hom na die graf afgegaan tot dié wat met die swaard doodgeslaan is; en dié wat sy arm was, wat onder sy skaduwee in die midde van die nasies gewoon het.
18
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.
Aan wie is jy so gelyk in heerlikheid en in grootheid onder die bome van Eden? tog sal jy saam met die bome van Eden na die laer dele van die aarde afgebring word: jy sal in die midde van die onbesnede lê met dié wat met die swaard doodgeslaan is. Dit is Farao en al sy menigte, sê die Here GOD.
