Ezekiel 19
1 Sing this funeral song for the princes of Israel
А ти наричи за кнезовима Израиљевим;
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.
И реци: Шта беше мати твоја? Лавица; међу лавовима лежаше, млад своју међу лавовима храњаше.
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.
И отхрани једно младо своје, и поста лавић, и научив се ловити ждераше људе.
4 But when the nations heard about him, he was caught in their trap. They used hooks to drag him away to Egypt.
И чуше народи за њ; ухвати се у јаму њихову, и одведоше га у веригама у земљу мисирску.
5 When she realized that the hope she had been waiting for was gone, she made another of her cubs into a young lion.
А она кад виде где се надала, али јој нада пропаде, узе једно младо своје, и учини од њега лавића.
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.
И он идући међу лавовима поста лавић, и научи се ловити и ждераше људе.
7 He tore down their fortresses and destroyed their towns. All the people living in the country were appalled when they heard him roaring.
И позна дворе њихове, и пустошаше градове њихове тако да опусте земља и шта је у њој од рике његове.
8 Then the people of the countries all around attacked him. They threw their net over him; he was caught in their trap.
И усташе на њ народи из околних земаља, и разапеше му мрежу своју, и ухвати се у јаму њихову.
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.
И метнуше га у крлетку у веригама, и одведоше га цару вавилонском, и метнуше га у град да му се више не чује глас по горама Израиљевим.
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.
Док беше миран, мати твоја беше као винова лоза, посађена крај воде, родна и граната беше од многе воде.
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.
И беху на њој јаки прутови за палицу владалачку, и растом својим узвиси се изнад густих грана, и би наочита висином својом, мноштвом грана својих.
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.
Али би ишчупана у гневу и на земљу бачена, и устока осуши род њен; поломише се и посушише се јаки прутови њени; огањ их прождре.
13 Now the vine has been replanted in the desert, in a dry and waterless land.
А сада је посађена у пустињи, у земљи сувој и безводној.
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.
И изађе огањ из прута грана њених и прождре род њен да нема на њој прута јаког за палицу владалачку. То је нарицање, и биће нарицање.
