Ezekiel 19
1 "Moreover, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
E tu levanta uma lamentação sobre os principes d'Israel.
2 and say, 'What was your mother? A lioness: she couched among lions, in the midst of the young lions she nourished her cubs.
E dize: Quem foi tua mãe? uma leoa entre leões deitada creou os seus cachorros no meio dos leõesinhos.
3 She brought up one of her cubs: he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.
E fez crescer um dos seus cachorrinhos, e veiu a ser leãosinho e aprendeu a apanhar a preza; e devorou os homens,
4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit; and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt.
E, ouvindo fallar d'elle as nações, foi apanhado na cova d'ellas, e o trouxeram com ganchos á terra do Egypto.
5 "'Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her cubs, and made him a young lion.
Vendo pois ella que havia esperado muito, e que a sua expectação era perdida, tomou outro dos seus cachorros, e fez d'elle um leãosinho.
6 He went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.
Este pois, andando continuamente no meio dos leões, veiu a ser leãosinho, e aprendeu a apanhar a preza: e devorou homens.
7 He devastated their strongholds, and destroyed their cities; and the land was desolate, and its fullness, because of the noise of his roaring.
E conheceu os seus palacios, e destruiu as suas cidades; e assolou-se a terra, e a sua plenitude, ao ouvir o seu rugido.
8 Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces; and they spread their net over him; he was taken in their pit.
Então se ajuntavam contra elle as gentes das provincias em roda, e estenderam sobre elle a rede, e foi apanhado na cova d'ellas.
9 They put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into strongholds, that his voice should no more be heard on the mountains of Israel.
E metteram-n'o em carcere com ganchos, e o levaram ao rei de Babylonia; fizeram-n'o entrar nos logares fortes, para que se não ouvisse mais a sua voz nos montes de Israel.
10 "'Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard, planted by the waters: it was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
Tua mãe era como uma videira na tua quietação, plantada á borda das aguas, fructificando, e foi cheia de ramos, por causa das muitas aguas.
11 It had strong rods for the scepters of those who bore rule, and their stature was exalted among the thick boughs, and they were seen in their height with the multitude of their branches.
E tinha varas fortes para sceptros de dominadores, e elevou-se a sua estatura entre os espessos ramos; e foi vista na sua altura com a multidão dos seus ramos.
12 But it was plucked up in fury, it was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit: its strong rods were broken off and withered; the fire consumed them.
Porém foi arrancada com furor, foi abatida até á terra, e o vento oriental seccou o seu fructo; quebraram-se e seccaram-se as suas fortes varas, o fogo as consumiu,
13 Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
E agora está plantada no deserto, n'uma terra secca e sedenta.
14 Fire is gone out of the rods of its branches, it has devoured its fruit, so that there is in it no strong rod to be a scepter to rule.' This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation."
E d'uma vara dos seus ramos saiu fogo que consumiu o seu fructo de maneira que n'ella não ha mais vara forte, sceptro para dominar. Esta é a lamentação, e servirá de lamentação.
