Ezekiel 19
1 Sing this funeral song for the princes of Israel
LEUM GOD El sap ngan yuk on soko inge. On in asor soko ke fisrak luo lun Israel.
2 with these words: “What was your mother? She was a lioness among the lions! She lay down in her place among the young lions and reared her cubs.
Nina kiomtal el oana soko lion mutan na pulaik! El tufahla lion srisrik natul wi lion mukul sulallal inge.
3 She raised one of her cubs, and he grew up to be young lion. Once he had learned how to tear up his prey, he started eating people.
El tufahla soko lion srisrik natul ac lotel in suk ma nal. Ac el etala in kang mwet.
4 But when the nations heard about him, he was caught in their trap. They used hooks to drag him away to Egypt.
Mwet in facl sac lohng kacl Ac orek luf in sang sruokilya. Elos sang ka sruokilya, ac usalla nu in acn Egypt.
5 When she realized that the hope she had been waiting for was gone, she made another of her cubs into a young lion.
Ma mutan soko ah soano nwe ke na el liye finsrak lal nukewa wanginla Na el tufahla pac soko lion srisrik Ac el kapak nu ke lion sulallal soko.
6 He went around with the other lions, and became strong. Once he had learned how to tear up his prey, he started eating people.
Ke pacl se el sun kuiyal El wi lion uh, Ac el lutlut pac in konauk ma nal ac in mongo mwet.
7 He tore down their fortresses and destroyed their towns. All the people living in the country were appalled when they heard him roaring.
El fahsr kunaus pot uh, ac kunausla pac siti srisrik. Mwet in facl sac elos tuninfong Ke pacl nukewa el ngutngut.
8 Then the people of the countries all around attacked him. They threw their net over him; he was caught in their trap.
Mutunfacl uh tukeni in mweunel; Mwet uh tuku ke acn nukewa. Elos laknelik nwek lalos Ac sruokilya ke sruhf lalos.
9 They used hooks to put him in a cage and took him to the king of Babylon. They led him away and imprisoned him so his roar wasn't heard any more in Israel's mountains.
Elos fililya in sie kalkal Ac usalla nu yurin tokosra lun Babylonia. Elos eisalang nu sin mwet in liyalang In mau tia sifil lohngyuk ngutngut lal ah Fineol in acn Israel nwe tok.
10 Your mother was like a vine planted in your vineyard at the waterside. It produced a lot of fruit and had many branches because it had plenty of water.
Nina kiomtal el oana fain in grape soko Su yoki sisken soko infacl. Mweyen yohk kof we, Fain soko inge nwanala ke sra ac fahko.
11 Its branches were strong like rulers' scepters. It grew high above the tree canopy. People could see how tall and full of leaves it was.
Lah kac arulana ku Ac kapak nu ke scepter lun leum uh, Fain soko ah kapak nwe ke sun pukunyeng uh; Mwet nukewa liye lusa ke loes ac nwanala ke sra.
12 But it was uprooted in anger and thrown down on the ground. The east wind blew and dried up its fruit. Its strong branches were stripped of leaves and they withered. Then they were burned up in the fire.
Tusruktu mwet kasrkusrak elos fusak Ac sisya fin fohk ah, Ac eng kutulap me akpaoyela fahko kac. Lah kac kipatelik; Elos paola ac isisyak.
13 Now the vine has been replanted in the desert, in a dry and waterless land.
Inge yoki yen mwesis Yen pao ac wangin kof we.
14 A fire blazed out from its main trunk and burned up its fruit. None of its branches that were once like a ruler's scepter are strong any more.” This is a funeral song and is to be used for mourning.
Sropon fain soko inge sun e uh, Na e uh esukak fahko ac lah kac. Lah kac tia ku in sifilpa kui, Ac tia ku in sifilpa orek scepter lun leum uh. On in asor soko pa inge; su kalweniyukna in onkakinyuk.
