Ezekiel 19
1 Sing this funeral song for the princes of Israel
E tu levanta uma lamentação sobre os principes d'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.
E dize: Quem foi tua mãe? uma leoa entre leões deitada creou os seus cachorros no meio dos leõesinhos.
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.
E fez crescer um dos seus cachorrinhos, e veiu a ser leãosinho e aprendeu a apanhar a preza; e devorou os homens,
4 But when the nations heard about him, he was caught in their trap. They used hooks to drag him away to Egypt.
E, ouvindo fallar d'elle as nações, foi apanhado na cova d'ellas, e o trouxeram com ganchos á terra do Egypto.
5 When she realized that the hope she had been waiting for was gone, she made another of her cubs into a young lion.
Vendo pois ella que havia esperado muito, e que a sua expectação era perdida, tomou outro dos seus cachorros, e fez d'elle um leãosinho.
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.
Este pois, andando continuamente no meio dos leões, veiu a ser leãosinho, e aprendeu a apanhar a preza: e devorou homens.
7 He tore down their fortresses and destroyed their towns. All the people living in the country were appalled when they heard him roaring.
E conheceu os seus palacios, e destruiu as suas cidades; e assolou-se a terra, e a sua plenitude, ao ouvir o seu rugido.
8 Then the people of the countries all around attacked him. They threw their net over him; he was caught in their trap.
Então se ajuntavam contra elle as gentes das provincias em roda, e estenderam sobre elle a rede, e foi apanhado na cova d'ellas.
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.
E metteram-n'o em carcere com ganchos, e o levaram ao rei de Babylonia; fizeram-n'o entrar nos logares fortes, para que se não ouvisse mais a sua voz nos montes de Israel.
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.
Tua mãe era como uma videira na tua quietação, plantada á borda das aguas, fructificando, e foi cheia de ramos, por causa das muitas aguas.
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.
E tinha varas fortes para sceptros de dominadores, e elevou-se a sua estatura entre os espessos ramos; e foi vista na sua altura com a multidão dos seus ramos.
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.
Porém foi arrancada com furor, foi abatida até á terra, e o vento oriental seccou o seu fructo; quebraram-se e seccaram-se as suas fortes varas, o fogo as consumiu,
13 Now the vine has been replanted in the desert, in a dry and waterless land.
E agora está plantada no deserto, n'uma terra secca e sedenta.
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.
E d'uma vara dos seus ramos saiu fogo que consumiu o seu fructo de maneira que n'ella não ha mais vara forte, sceptro para dominar. Esta é a lamentação, e servirá de lamentação.
