1

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

En die woord van die HERE het tot my gekom, sê,

2

Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;

Seun van die mens, stel ‚'n raaisel, en spreek ‚'n gelykenis tot die huis van Israel;

3

And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; A great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar:

En sê, So sê die Here GOD; ’n Groot arend met groot vlerke, lank van vlerke, vol vere, wat van baie kleure was, het na Líbanon gekom, en die hoogste tak van die seder geneem:

4

He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffick; he set it in a city of merchants.

Hy het die top van sy jong takke afgepluk, en dit na ‚'n land van handel gebring; hy het dit in ‚'n stad van handelaars gesit.

5

He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed [it] by great waters, [and] set it [as] a willow tree.

Hy het ook van die saad van die land geneem, en dit in ‚'n vrugbare veld geplant; hy het dit by groot waters geplaas, en dit soos ‚'n wilgerboom gestel.

6

And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.

En dit het gegroei, en ‚'n uitspreidende wingerdstok van lae gestalte geword, waarvan die takke na hom toe gekeer was, en die wortels daarvan onder hom was: so het dit ‚'n wingerdstok geword, en takke voortgebring, en lote uitgestuur.

7

There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation.

Daar was ook ‚'n ander groot arend met groot vlerke en baie vere: en kyk, hierdie wingerdstok het haar wortels na hom toe gebuig, en haar takke na hom toe uitgestuur, dat hy haar mag natmaak by die beddings van haar planting.

8

It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.

Dit was geplant in ‚'n goeie grond by groot waters, dat dit takke mag dra, en vrug mag dra, dat dit ‚'n goeie wingerdstok mag wees.

9

Say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof.

Sê jy, So sê die Here GOD; Sal dit voorspoedig wees? sal hy nie haar wortels uittrek, en haar vrug afsny, dat dit verdor nie? dit sal verdor in al die blare van haar bot, selfs sonder groot mag of baie mense om dit uit sy wortels uit te trek.

10

Yea, behold, [being] planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew.

Ja, kyk, omdat dit geplant is, sal dit voorspoedig wees? sal dit nie heeltemal verdor wanneer die oostewind dit raak nie? dit sal verdor in die beddings waar dit gegroei het.

11

Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Bowendien het die woord van die HERE tot my gekom, sê,

12

Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these [things mean]? tell [them], Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon;

Sê nou tot die opstandige huis, Weet julle nie wat hierdie dinge beteken nie? Sê, Kyk, die koning van Babel is na Jérusalem gekom, en het sy koning en sy vorstes geneem, en hulle met hom na Babel gebring;

13

And hath taken of the king’s seed, and made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of the land:

En hy het van die koninklike saad geneem, en ’n verbond met hom gemaak, en het hom ’n eed laat aflê: hy het ook die magtiges van die land geneem:

14

That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, [but] that by keeping of his covenant it might stand.

Dat die koninkryk neergehaal mag wees, dat dit nie mag verhef word nie, maar dat dit sy verbond mag bewaar, dat dit mag bestaan.

15

But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such [things]? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?

Maar hy het teen hom gerebelleer deur sy boodskappers na Egipte te stuur, dat hulle hom perde en baie mense mag gee. Sal hy voorspoedig wees? sal hy wat sulke dinge doen, ontvlug? of sal hy die verbond verbreek, en ontvlug?

16

[As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place [where] the king [dwelleth] that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, [even] with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.

So waar as ek lewe, sê die Here GOD, sekerlik in die plek waar die koning woon wat hom koning gemaak het, wie se eed hy verag het, en wie se verbond hy verbreek het, selfs by hom in die midde van Babel sal hy sterwe.

17

Neither shall Pharaoh with [his] mighty army and great company make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons:

En Farao met sy magtige leër en groot geselskap sal hom niks in die oorlog help nie, deur walwerke op te gooi, en forte te bou, om baie persone af te sny:

18

Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these [things], he shall not escape.

Aangesien hy die eed verag het deur die verbond te verbreek, toe, kyk, hy sy hand gegee het, en al hierdie dinge gedoen het, hy sal nie ontvlug nie.

19

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; [As] I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head.

Daarom so sê die Here GOD; So waar as ek lewe, sekerlik my eed wat hy verag het, en my verbond wat hy verbreek het, sal ek dit selfs op sy eie hoof lê.

20

And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me.

En ek sal my net oor hom uitsprei, en hy sal in my strik gevang word, en ek sal hom na Babel bring, en sal daar met hom twis vanweë sy oortreding waarmee hy teen My oortree het.

21

And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken [it].

En al sy vlugtelinge met al sy bende sal deur die swaard val, en dié wat oorbly, sal in alle winde verstrooi word: en julle sal weet dat ek die HERE dit gespreek het.

22

Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set [it]; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant [it] upon an high mountain and eminent:

So sê die Here GOD; Ek sal ook van die hoogste tak van die hoë seder neem, en sal dit plant; ek sal van die top van sy jong takke ’n teer een afpluk, en sal dit plant op ’n hoë en verhewe berg:

23

In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.

In die berg van die hoogte van Israel sal ek dit plant: en dit sal takke dra, en vrug dra, en ’n goeie seder wees: en onder dit sal alle voëls van elke vlerk woon; in die skaduwee van die takke daarvan sal hulle woon.

24

And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done [it].

En al die bome van die veld sal weet dat ek die HERE die hoë boom verneder het, die lae boom verhoog het, die groen boom verdroog het, en die droë boom laat bot het: ek die HERE het dit gespreek en dit gedoen.
