Ezekiel 19
1 “As for you, take up a lament for the princes of Israel
›Poleg tega vzdigni žalostinko za Izraelovimi princi
2 and say: ‘What was your mother? A lioness among the lions! She lay down among the young lions; she reared her cubs.
in reci: ›Kaj je tvoja mati? Levinja. Ulegla se je med levi, svoje mladiče je hranila med mladimi levi.
3 She brought up one of her cubs, and he became a young lion. After learning to tear his prey, he devoured men.
Vzgojila je enega izmed svojih mladičev. Ta je postal mlad lev in se naučil loviti plen; ta je žrl ljudi.
4 When the nations heard of him, he was trapped in their pit. With hooks they led him away to the land of Egypt.
Tudi narodi so slišali o njem; ujel se je v njihovo jamo in z verigami so ga odvedli v egiptovsko deželo.
5 When she saw that she had waited in vain, that her hope was lost, she took another of her cubs and made him a young lion.
Torej ko je videla, da je čakala in je bilo njeno upanje izgubljeno, potem je vzela še enega izmed svojih mladičev in ga naredila za mladega leva.
6 He prowled among the lions, and became a young lion. After learning to tear his prey, he devoured men.
In hodil je gor in dol med levi in postal mlad lev in se naučil loviti plen in žreti ljudi.
7 He broke down their strongholds and devastated their cities. The land and everything in it shuddered at the sound of his roaring.
In poznal je njihove zapuščene palače in pustošil njihova mesta; in dežela je bila zapuščena in njena polnost s hrupom njegovega rjovenja.
8 Then the nations set out against him from the provinces on every side. They spread their net over him; he was trapped in their pit.
Potem so se narodi od provinc na vsaki strani naravnali zoper njega in nad njim razprostrli svojo mrežo. Ujet je bil v njihovo jamo.
9 With hooks they caged him and brought him to the king of Babylon. They brought him into captivity so that his roar was heard no longer on the mountains of Israel.
In dali so ga pod stražo, v verige in ga privedli k babilonskemu kralju. Privedli so ga v utrdbe, da njegovega glasu ne bi bilo več slišati na Izraelovih gorah.
10 Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard, planted by the water; it was fruitful and full of branches because of the abundant waters.
Tvoja mati je podobna trti v tvoji krvi, zasajena pri vodah. Bila je rodovitna in polna mladik zaradi razloga mnogih vodá.
11 It had strong branches, fit for a ruler’s scepter. It towered high above the thick branches, conspicuous for its height and for its dense foliage.
Imela je močne palice za žezla tistih, ki so vladali in njena postava je bila povišana med debelimi mladikami in v svoji višini se je pojavila z množico svojih mladik.
12 But it was uprooted in fury, cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit. Its strong branches were stripped off and they withered; the fire consumed them.
Toda izruvana je bila v razjarjenosti, vržena je bila na tla in vzhodnik je posušil njen sad. Njene močne palice so bile polomljene in so ovenele, ogenj jih je použil.
13 Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
In sedaj je zasajena v divjini, v suhih in žejnih tleh.
14 Fire has gone out from its main branch and devoured its fruit; on it no strong branch remains fit for a ruler’s scepter.’ This is a lament and shall be used as a lament.”
In ogenj je izšel iz palice njenih mladik, ki je požrl njen sad, tako da ni imela nobene močne palice, ki bi bila žezlo za vladanje. To je žalostinka in bo za žalostinko.‹«
