Ezekiel 19
1 And thou, —do thou lift up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
Ты же, сыне человечь, возми плачь на князи Израилевы,
2 And say, What a noble lioness was thy mother! among lions did she lie down, in the midst of young lions did she raise her whelps!
и речеши: почто мати твоя львица среде львов почи, посреде львов умножи львичища своя?
3 And she brought up one of her whelps: he became a young lion, and he learned to tear in pieces the prey; [even] men he devoured.
И отскочи един от львичищ ея и бысть лев, и научися восхищати восхищения и человеки снеде.
4 And when nations heard of him, he was caught in their pit, and they brought him with nose-rings unto the land of Egypt.
И слышаша о нем языцы, и ят бысть в растлении их, и приведоша его во узде во Египет.
5 Now when she saw that she had long waited, [that] her hope was lost, she took another one of her whelps, and made him a young lion.
И виде, яко отведен бысть от нея, и погибе чаяние ея: и взя инаго от львичищ своих и львом учини его,
6 And he went up and down in the midst of lions, he became a young lion; and he learned to tear in pieces the prey; even men he devoured.
и живяше посреде львов, бысть лев и научися восхищати восхищения: человеки изяде,
7 And he broke down their palaces, and their cities laid he in ruins: and then was terrified the land, with all that filled it, because of the noise of his roaring.
и пасяшеся в лютости своей, и грады их пусты постави, и погуби землю и исполнение ея гласом рыкания своего.
8 Then set themselves the nations against him on every side from the provinces; and they spread over him their net: in their pit was he caught.
И даша нань языцы окрест от стран и простроша нань мрежи своя, и в погублении их ят бысть.
9 And they put him in a cage with nose-rings [in his nose], and they brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into strong-holds, in order that his voice should no more be heard on the mountains of Israel.
И положиша его во узде и в клети, приведоша его ко царю Вавилонску и ввергоша его в темницу, яко да не слышится глас его ктому на горах Израилевых.
10 Thy mother was like a vine, if I compare thee to aught, planted by the waters: fruitful and full of boughs was she by reason of many waters.
Мати твоя яко виноград и яко цвет шипчан на воде насажден, плод его и отрасль его бысть от воды многи.
11 And she had strong branches [fit] for the sceptres of rulers, and her stature grew up high between the thick-branched [trees], and she was seen through her height by means of the multitude of her tendrils.
И бысть ему жезл крепости над племенем старейшин, и вознесеся в величии своем среде лозия: и виде величество свое во множестве лозия своего,
12 But she was plucked up in fury, to the ground was she cast down, and the east wind dried up her fruit: and torn off and dried up were her strong branches, a fire consumed them.
и обломися в ярости, и на землю повержен бысть, и ветр знойный изсуши плоды его: увядоша, и изсше жезл крепости его: огнь потреби его.
13 And now is she planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
И ныне насадиша его в пустыни, на земли безводне.
14 And fire is gone out of a branch of her boughs, and hath devoured her fruit, so that there is no more on her a strong branch for a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and it is become a lamentation.
И изыде огнь от жезла избранных его и пояде и, и не бе в нем жезла крепости его: племя в притчу плача есть, и будет плачь.
