Ezekiel 19

1 "Moreover, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,

And you take up a lamentation because of [the] princes of 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.

And you will say what? [was] mother your a lioness between lions she lay down in among young lions she reared cubs her.

3 She brought up one of her cubs: he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.

And she brought up one of cubs her a young lion it was and it learned to tear prey human[s] it devoured.

4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit; and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt.

And they heard concerning it nations in pit their it was caught and they brought it with hooks to [the] land of Egypt.

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.

And she saw that she waited it was lost hope her and she took one of cubs her a young lion she made it.

6 He went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.

And it went about in among lions a young lion it was and it learned to tear prey human[s] it devoured.

7 He devastated their strongholds, and destroyed their cities; and the land was desolate, and its fullness, because of the noise of his roaring.

And it knew widows its and cities their it laid waste and it was desolate [the] land and what fills it from [the] sound of roaring its.

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.

And they set on it nations all around from provinces and they spread out over it net their in pit their it was caught.

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.

And they put it in cage with hooks and they brought it to [the] king of Babylon they brought it in strongholds so that not it will be heard voice its again to [the] mountains of 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.

Mother your like vine in blood your at water planted fruitful and full of branches it was from waters many.

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.

And they belonged to it branches of strength to scepters of rulers and it was lofty stature its above between branches and it was seen by height its by [the] abundance of branches its.

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.

And it was plucked up in rage to the ground it was thrown down and [the] wind of the east it dried up fruit its they were torn off and they became dry [the] branch of strength its a fire it consumed it.

13 Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.

And now [it is] planted in the wilderness in a land dry and thirst.

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."

And it went out fire from [the] branch of shoots its fruit its it consumed and not it was in it a branch of strength a scepter to rule [is] a lamentation it and it has become a lamentation.
