Ezekiel 19
1 And thou, —do thou lift up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
Bukod dito'y magbadya ka ng isang taghoy na ukol sa mga prinsipe sa Israel.
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!
At iyong sabihin, naging ano baga ang iyong ina? Isang leona: siya'y humiga sa gitna ng mga leon, sa gitna ng mga batang leon, pinakain niya ang kaniyang mga anak.
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.
At pinalaki niya ang isa sa kaniyang mga anak: yao'y naging isang batang leon, at yao'y natuto na manghuli at lumamon ng mga tao.
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.
Narinig naman yaon ng mga bansa; yao'y nahuli sa kanilang hukay; at dinala nila yaon na natatanikalaan sa lupain ng Egipto.
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.
Nang makita nga niya na siya'y naghintay, at ang kaniyang pagasa ay nawala, kumuha nga siya ng iba sa kaniyang mga anak, at ginawang batang leon.
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.
At yao'y nagpanhik manaog sa gitna ng mga leon, yao'y naging batang leon; at yao'y natuto na manghuli, at lumamon ng mga tao.
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.
At naalaman niya ang kanilang mga palacio, at sinira ang kanilang mga bayan; at ang lupain ay nagiba, at ang lahat na nangandoon, dahil sa hugong ng kaniyang angal.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y nagsilagay ang mga bansa laban sa kaniya sa bawa't dako na mula sa mga lalawigan; at ipinaglagay nila siya ng panilo; nahuli siya sa kanilang hukay.
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.
At may tanikalang inilagay siya nila sa isang kulungan, at dinala nila siya sa hari sa Babilonia; ipinasok nila siya sa katibayan, upang ang kaniyang tinig ay huwag nang marinig sa mga bundok ng Israel.
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.
Ang inyong ina ay parang puno ng ubas sa iyong dugo, na natanim sa tabi ng tubig: siya'y mabunga at puno ng mga sanga, dahil sa maraming tubig.
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.
At siya'y nagkaroon ng mga matibay na tutungkurin na magagawang mga cetro nila na nagpupuno, at ang kanilang taas ay nataas sa mga masinsing sanga, at nangakita sa kanilang taas dahil sa karamihan ng kanilang mga sanga.
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.
Nguni't siya'y nabunot sa pag-aalab ng loob, siya'y nahagis sa lupa, at tinuyo ng hanging silanganan ang bunga niya: ang kaniyang mga matibay na tutungkurin ay nangabali at nagsidupok; pinagsupok sa apoy.
13 And now is she planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
At ngayo'y natanim siya sa ilang, sa isang tuyo at uhaw na lupain.
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.
At lumabas ang apoy sa mga tutungkurin ng kaniyang mga sanga, sinupok ang kaniyang bunga, na anopa't nawalan ng matibay na tutungkurin na magiging cetro upang ipagpuno. Ito ay panaghoy, at magiging pinakapanaghoy.
