Ezechiel 19
1 Ty pak vydej se v naříkání nad knížaty Izraelskými.
Take up now a song of grief for the ruler of Israel, and say,
2 A rci: Co byla matka tvá? Lvice mezi lvy odpočívající, a u prostřed dravých lvů vychovávala lvíčátka svá.
What was your mother? Like a she-lion among lions, stretched out among the young lions she gave food to her little ones.
3 A když odchovala jedno z lvíčat svých, udělal se z něho dravý lev, tak že naučiv se bráti loupeže, žrával lidi.
And one of her little ones came to growth under her care, and became a young lion, learning to go after beasts for his food; and he took men for his meat.
4 To když uslyšeli národové, v jámě jejich polapen jest, a doveden v řetězích do země Egyptské.
And the nations had news of him; he was taken in the hole they had made: and, pulling him with hooks, they took him into the land of Egypt.
5 To viduc lvice, že očekávaná zhynula jí naděje její, vzavši jedno z lvíčat svých, učinila z něho silného lva;
Now when she saw that her hope was made foolish and gone, she took another of her little ones and made him into a young lion.
6 Kterýž ustavičně chodě mezi lvy, udělal se dravým lvem, a naučiv se bráti loupeže, žrával lidi.
And he went up and down among the lions and became a young lion, learning to go after beasts for his food; and he took men for his meat.
7 Pobořil i pusté paláce jejich, a města jejich v poušť uvedl, tak že spustla země, i což v ní bylo, od hlasu řvání jeho.
And he sent destruction on their widows and made waste their towns; and the land and everything in it became waste because of the loud sound of his voice.
8 I polékli na něj národové z okolních krajin, a rozestřeli na něj tenata svá, a do jámy jejich lapen jest.
Then the nations came against him from the kingdoms round about: their net was stretched over him and he was taken in the hole they had made.
9 I dali jej do klece v řetězích, a dopravili ho k králi Babylonskému, a uvedli jej do vězení nejtěžšího, aby nebyl slýchán hlas jeho více po horách Izraelských.
They made him a prisoner with hooks, and took him to the king of Babylon; they put him in the strong place so that his voice might be sounding no longer on the mountains of Israel.
10 Matka tvá v čas pokoje tvého jako vinný kmen při vodách štípený; plodistvý a rozkladitý byl pro hojnost vod.
Your mother was in comparison like a vine, planted by the waters: she was fertile and full of branches because of the great waters.
11 A měl pruty mocné k berlám panovníků, zrůst pak jeho vyvýšil se nad prostředek hustého větvoví, tak že patrný byl pro svou vysokost a pro množství ratolestí svých.
And she had a strong rod for a rod of authority for the rulers, and it became tall among the clouds and it was seen lifted up among the number of its branches.
12 Ale vytržen jsa v prchlivosti, na zemi povržen jest, a vítr východní usušil ovoce jeho; vylomily se a uschly ratolesti silné jeho, oheň sežral je.
But she was uprooted in burning wrath, and made low on the earth; the east wind came, drying her up, and her branches were broken off; her strong rod became dry, the fire made a meal of it.
13 A nyní štípen jest na poušti, v zemi vyprahlé a žíznivé.
And now she is planted in the waste land, in a dry and unwatered country.
14 Nadto vyšed oheň z prutu ratolestí jeho, sežral ovoce jeho, tak že není na něm prutu mocného k berle panovníka. Toť jest naříkání, a budeť v naříkání.
And fire has gone out from her rod, causing the destruction of her branches, so that there is no strong rod in her to be the ruler's rod of authority. This is a song of grief, and it was for a song of grief.
