Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1In the eleventh year, on the first day of the third month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
1十一年三 月 初一 日 ，耶和華的話臨到我說：
2“Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his multitude: ‘Who can be compared to your greatness?
2「人子啊，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？
3Look at Assyria, a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches that shaded the forest. It towered on high; its top was among the clouds.
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，樹尖插入雲中。
4The 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.
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。
5Therefore 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.
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。
6All 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.
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。
7It was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its limbs, for its roots extended to abundant waters.
7樹大條長，成為榮美， 因為根在眾水之旁。
8The cedars in the garden of God could not rival it; the cypresses could not compare with its branches, nor the plane trees match its boughs. No tree in the garden of God could compare with its beauty.
8上帝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； 上帝園中的樹都沒有它榮美。
9I made it beautiful with its many branches, the envy of all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God.’
9我使它的枝條蕃多，成為榮美， 以致上帝 伊甸園 中的樹都嫉妒它。」
10Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Since it became great in height and set its top among the clouds, and it grew proud on account of its height,
10所以主耶和華如此說：「因它高大，樹尖插入雲中，心驕氣傲，
11I 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.
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。
12Foreigners, 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.
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。
13All the birds of the air nested on its fallen trunk, and all the beasts of the field lived among its boughs.
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，
14This 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.’
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。因為它們在世人中，和下坑的人都被交與死亡，到陰府去了。」
15This 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.
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 為它悽慘，田野的諸樹都因它發昏。
16I 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.
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，並且 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。
17They too descended with it to Sheol, to those slain by the sword. As its allies they had lived in its shade among the nations.
17它們也與它同下陰間，到被殺的人那裏。它們曾作它的膀臂，在列國中它的蔭下居住。
18Who 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.’”
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。」
