Ezekiel 19
1 “And you, lift up a lamentation to princes of Israel,
›Poleg tega vzdigni žalostinko za Izraelovimi princi
2 and you have said: What [is] your mother? A lioness, She has crouched down among lions, She has multiplied her whelps in the midst of young lions.
in reci: ›Kaj je tvoja mati? Levinja. Ulegla se je med levi, svoje mladiče je hranila med mladimi levi.
3 And she brings up one of her whelps, He has been a young lion, And he learns to tear prey, He has devoured man.
Vzgojila je enega izmed svojih mladičev. Ta je postal mlad lev in se naučil loviti plen; ta je žrl ljudi.
4 And nations hear of him, He has been caught in their pit, And they bring him to the land of Egypt in chains.
Tudi narodi so slišali o njem; ujel se je v njihovo jamo in z verigami so ga odvedli v egiptovsko deželo.
5 And as she waited she sees that her hope has perished, And she takes one of her whelps, She has 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 goes up and down in the midst of lions, He has been a young lion, And he learns to tear prey, He has devoured man.
In hodil je gor in dol med levi in postal mlad lev in se naučil loviti plen in žreti ljudi.
7 And he knows his forsaken habitations, And he has laid waste [to] their cities, And the land and its fullness is desolate, Because of the voice 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 And surrounding nations set against him from the provinces. And they spread out their net for him, He has been caught 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 prison—in chains, And they bring him to the king of Babylon, They bring him into bulwarks, So that his voice is not heard On mountains of Israel anymore.
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 Your mother, like the vine in your blood, Is being planted by waters, She was bearing fruit and full of boughs, Because 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 has strong rods for scepters of rulers, And she is high in stature above—between thick branches, And it appears in its height In the multitude of its thin shoots.
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 And she is plucked up in fury, She has been cast to the earth, And the east wind has dried up her fruit, [The] rod of her strength has been broken and withered, Fire has consumed it.
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 a wilderness, In a dry and thirsty land.
In sedaj je zasajena v divjini, v suhih in žejnih tleh.
14 And fire goes forth from a rod of her boughs, It has devoured her fruit, And she has no rod of strength—a scepter to rule, A lamentation—and she has become 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.‹«
