Ezekiel 19
1 Thou also, take vp a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
Hai, ucapkanlah suatu ratapan mengenai raja Israel,
2 And say, Wherefore lay thy mother as a lyonesse among the lyons? she nourished her yong ones among the lyons whelps,
dan katakanlah begini: "Betapa ibumu menjadi seekor singa betina di antara singa-singa! Ia berbaring di antara singa-singa muda, dan menyusui anak-anaknya.
3 And she brought vp one of her whelps, and it became a lyon, and it learned to catch the praye, and it deuoured men.
Ia membesarkan seekor dari anak-anaknya, sehingga menjadi singa muda; ia belajar menerkam, malah manusia ditelannya.
4 The nations also heard of him, and he was taken in their nets, and they brought him in chaines vnto the land of Egypt.
Bangsa-bangsa menyerukan: Singa mengamuk! akhirnya ia terjebak dalam pelubang mereka; mereka mengelikir dia dan menggiringnya ke Mesir.
5 Nowe when she sawe, that she had waited and her hope was lost, she tooke another of her whelps, and made him a lyon.
Sesudah induk singa menyadari bahwa usahanya gagal dan pengharapannya hilang lenyap, ia mengambil anaknya yang lain dan membesarkannya menjadi singa muda.
6 Which went among the lyons, and became a lyon, and learned to catch the praye, and he deuoured men.
Anaknya ini berjalan-jalan di antara kawanan singa, ia menjadi seekor singa muda; ia belajar menerkam, malah manusia ditelannya.
7 And he knew their widowes, and he destroyed their cities, and the land was wasted, and all that was therein by the noyse of his roaring.
Ia merusak puri-puri mereka dan menumpas kota-kotanya; bumi serta segala isinya diam ketakutan mendengar suara aumnya.
8 Then the nations set against him on euery side of the countreys, and laide their nets for him: so he was taken in their pit.
Maka bangsa-bangsa bangkit melawan dia dari daerah-daerah sekelilingnya, mereka memasang jaring untuk menangkapnya dan menjebaknya dalam pelubang.
9 And they put him in prison and in chaines, and brought him to the King of Babel, and they put him in holdes, that his voyce should no more be heard vpon the mountaines of Israel.
Ia dikurung dalam kandang, sambil dikelikir, dibawa ke hadapan raja Babel dan dimasukkan dalam penjara, supaya suaranya jangan kedengaran lagi di atas gunung-gunung Israel.
10 Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she brought foorth fruite and branches by the abundant waters,
Ibumu seperti pohon anggur dalam kebun anggur, yang tertanam dekat air, berbuah dan bercabang karena air yang berlimpah-limpah.
11 And she had strong rods for the scepters of them that beare rule, and her stature was exalted among the branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.
Padanya tumbuh suatu cabang yang kuat yang menjadi tongkat kerajaan; ia menjulang tinggi di antara cabang-cabangnya yang rapat, dan menjadi kentara karena tingginya dan karena rantingnya yang banyak.
12 But she was plucked vp in wrath: she was cast downe to the ground, and the East winde dried vp her fruite: her branches were broken, and withered: as for the rod of her strength, the fire consumed it.
Tetapi ia tercabut di dalam kemarahan dan dilemparkan ke bumi; angin timur membuatnya layu kering, buahnya disentakkan, cabang yang kuat menjadi layu kering; dan api menghabiskannya.
13 And now she is planted in the wildernes in a drie and thirstie ground.
Dan sekarang ia tertanam di padang gurun, di tanah yang kering dan haus akan air.
14 And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath deuoured her fruite, so that she hath no strong rod to be a scepter to rule: this is a lamentation and shalbe for a lamentation.
Maka keluarlah api dari cabangnya yang memakan habis ranting dan buahnya, sehingga tiada lagi padanya cabang yang kuat dan tiada tongkat kerajaan." Ini adalah ratapan dan sudah menjadi ratapan.
