Ezekiel 19
1 Take up now a song of grief for the ruler of Israel, and say,
Bukod dito'y magbadya ka ng isang taghoy na ukol sa mga prinsipe sa Israel.
2 What was your mother? Like a she-lion among lions, stretched out among the young lions she gave food to her little ones.
At iyong sabihin, naging ano baga ang iyong ina? Isang leona: siya'y humiga sa gitna ng mga leon, sa gitna ng mga batang leon, pinakain niya ang kaniyang mga anak.
3 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.
At pinalaki niya ang isa sa kaniyang mga anak: yao'y naging isang batang leon, at yao'y natuto na manghuli at lumamon ng mga tao.
4 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.
Narinig naman yaon ng mga bansa; yao'y nahuli sa kanilang hukay; at dinala nila yaon na natatanikalaan sa lupain ng Egipto.
5 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.
Nang makita nga niya na siya'y naghintay, at ang kaniyang pagasa ay nawala, kumuha nga siya ng iba sa kaniyang mga anak, at ginawang batang leon.
6 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.
At yao'y nagpanhik manaog sa gitna ng mga leon, yao'y naging batang leon; at yao'y natuto na manghuli, at lumamon ng mga tao.
7 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.
At naalaman niya ang kanilang mga palacio, at sinira ang kanilang mga bayan; at ang lupain ay nagiba, at ang lahat na nangandoon, dahil sa hugong ng kaniyang angal.
8 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.
Nang magkagayo'y nagsilagay ang mga bansa laban sa kaniya sa bawa't dako na mula sa mga lalawigan; at ipinaglagay nila siya ng panilo; nahuli siya sa kanilang hukay.
9 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.
At may tanikalang inilagay siya nila sa isang kulungan, at dinala nila siya sa hari sa Babilonia; ipinasok nila siya sa katibayan, upang ang kaniyang tinig ay huwag nang marinig sa mga bundok ng Israel.
10 Your mother was in comparison like a vine, planted by the waters: she was fertile and full of branches because of the great waters.
Ang inyong ina ay parang puno ng ubas sa iyong dugo, na natanim sa tabi ng tubig: siya'y mabunga at puno ng mga sanga, dahil sa maraming tubig.
11 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.
At siya'y nagkaroon ng mga matibay na tutungkurin na magagawang mga cetro nila na nagpupuno, at ang kanilang taas ay nataas sa mga masinsing sanga, at nangakita sa kanilang taas dahil sa karamihan ng kanilang mga sanga.
12 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.
Nguni't siya'y nabunot sa pag-aalab ng loob, siya'y nahagis sa lupa, at tinuyo ng hanging silanganan ang bunga niya: ang kaniyang mga matibay na tutungkurin ay nangabali at nagsidupok; pinagsupok sa apoy.
13 And now she is planted in the waste land, in a dry and unwatered country.
At ngayo'y natanim siya sa ilang, sa isang tuyo at uhaw na lupain.
14 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.
At lumabas ang apoy sa mga tutungkurin ng kaniyang mga sanga, sinupok ang kaniyang bunga, na anopa't nawalan ng matibay na tutungkurin na magiging cetro upang ipagpuno. Ito ay panaghoy, at magiging pinakapanaghoy.
