Ezekiel 19
1 “And as for you, take up a lament over the leaders of Israel,
Ty pak vydej se v naříkání nad knížaty Izraelskými.
2 and you shall say: Why did your mother, the lioness, recline among the male lions, and raise her little ones in the midst of young lions?
A rci: Co byla matka tvá? Lvice mezi lvy odpočívající, a u prostřed dravých lvů vychovávala lvíčátka svá.
3 And she led away one of her little ones, and he became a lion. And he learned to seize prey and to consume men.
A když odchovala jedno z lvíčat svých, udělal se z něho dravý lev, tak že naučiv se bráti loupeže, žrával lidi.
4 And the Gentiles heard about him, and they seized him, but not without receiving wounds. And they led him away in chains to the land of Egypt.
To když uslyšeli národové, v jámě jejich polapen jest, a doveden v řetězích do země Egyptské.
5 Then, when she had seen that she was weakened, and that her hope had perished, she took one of her little ones, and appointed him as a lion.
To viduc lvice, že očekávaná zhynula jí naděje její, vzavši jedno z lvíčat svých, učinila z něho silného lva;
6 And he advanced among the lions, and he became a lion. And he learned to seize prey and to devour men.
Kterýž ustavičně chodě mezi lvy, udělal se dravým lvem, a naučiv se bráti loupeže, žrával lidi.
7 He learned to make widows, and to lead their citizens into the desert. And the land, with its plenitude, was made desolate by the voice of his roaring.
Pobořil i pusté paláce jejich, a města jejich v poušť uvedl, tak že spustla země, i což v ní bylo, od hlasu řvání jeho.
8 And the Gentiles came together against him, on every side, from the provinces, and they spread their net over him; by their wounds, he was captured.
I polékli na něj národové z okolních krajin, a rozestřeli na něj tenata svá, a do jámy jejich lapen jest.
9 And they put him into a cage; they led him in chains to the king of Babylon. And they cast him into a prison, so that his voice would no longer be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
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.
10 Your mother is like a vine, in your blood, planted by the water; her fruit and her branches have increased because of many waters.
Matka tvá v čas pokoje tvého jako vinný kmen při vodách štípený; plodistvý a rozkladitý byl pro hojnost vod.
11 And her strong branches were made into scepters for the rulers, and her stature was exalted among the branches. And she saw her own loftiness among the multitude of her branches.
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.
12 But she was uprooted in wrath, and cast upon the ground. And the burning wind dried up her fruit. Her robust branches withered and were dried up. A fire consumed her.
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.
13 And now she has been transplanted into the desert, into a land impassable and dry.
A nyní štípen jest na poušti, v zemi vyprahlé a žíznivé.
14 And a fire has gone forth from a rod of her branches, which has consumed her fruit. And there is no strong branch in her to become a scepter for the rulers. This is a lamentation, and it shall be a lamentation.”
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.
