Ezekiel 19
1 Moreover, take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
›Poleg tega vzdigni žalostinko za Izraelovimi princi
2 and say: How was thy mother a lioness; among lions she couched, in the midst of the young lions she reared her whelps!
in reci: ›Kaj je tvoja mati? Levinja. Ulegla se je med levi, svoje mladiče je hranila med mladimi levi.
3 And she brought up one of her whelps, he became a young lion; and he learned to catch the prey, he devoured men.
Vzgojila je enega izmed svojih mladičev. Ta je postal mlad lev in se naučil loviti plen; ta je žrl ljudi.
4 Then the nations assembled against him, he was taken in their pit; and they brought him with hooks unto the land of Egypt.
Tudi narodi so slišali o njem; ujel se je v njihovo jamo in z verigami so ga odvedli v egiptovsko deželo.
5 Now when she saw that she was disappointed, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.
Torej ko je videla, da je čakala in je bilo njeno upanje izgubljeno, potem je vzela še enega izmed svojih mladičev in ga naredila za mladega leva.
6 And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion; and he learned to catch the prey, he devoured men.
In hodil je gor in dol med levi in postal mlad lev in se naučil loviti plen in žreti ljudi.
7 And he knew their castles, and laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, because of the noise of his roaring.
In poznal je njihove zapuščene palače in pustošil njihova mesta; in dežela je bila zapuščena in njena polnost s hrupom njegovega rjovenja.
8 Then the nations cried out against him on every side from the provinces; and they spread their net over him, he was taken in their pit.
Potem so se narodi od provinc na vsaki strani naravnali zoper njega in nad njim razprostrli svojo mrežo. Ujet je bil v njihovo jamo.
9 And they put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon; that they might bring him into strongholds, so that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
In dali so ga pod stražo, v verige in ga privedli k babilonskemu kralju. Privedli so ga v utrdbe, da njegovega glasu ne bi bilo več slišati na Izraelovih gorah.
10 Thy mother was like a vine, in thy likeness, planted by the waters; she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
Tvoja mati je podobna trti v tvoji krvi, zasajena pri vodah. Bila je rodovitna in polna mladik zaradi razloga mnogih vodá.
11 And she had strong rods to be sceptres for them that bore rule; and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she was seen in her height with the multitude of her tendrils.
Imela je močne palice za žezla tistih, ki so vladali in njena postava je bila povišana med debelimi mladikami in v svoji višini se je pojavila z množico svojih mladik.
12 But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit; her strong rods were broken off and withered, the fire consumed her.
Toda izruvana je bila v razjarjenosti, vržena je bila na tla in vzhodnik je posušil njen sad. Njene močne palice so bile polomljene in so ovenele, ogenj jih je použil.
13 And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
In sedaj je zasajena v divjini, v suhih in žejnih tleh.
14 And fire is gone out of the rod of her branches, it hath devoured her fruit, so that there is in her no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule.' This is a lamentation, and it was for a lamentation.
In ogenj je izšel iz palice njenih mladik, ki je požrl njen sad, tako da ni imela nobene močne palice, ki bi bila žezlo za vladanje. To je žalostinka in bo za žalostinko.‹«
