Ezekiel 19
1 Moreover, take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
E tu levanta uma lamentação sobre os principes d'Israel.
2 and say, What was thy mother? A lioness: she couched among lions, in the midst of the young lions she nourished her whelps.
E dize: Quem foi tua mãe? uma leoa entre leões deitada creou os seus cachorros no meio dos leõesinhos.
3 And she brought up one of her whelps; 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 unto 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 whelps, 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 And 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 And he knew their palaces, and laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, 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 And they put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into strong holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon 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 Thy mother was like a vine, in thy blood, planted by the waters: she 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 And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare 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 she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her 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 And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
E agora está plantada no deserto, n'uma terra secca e sedenta.
14 And fire is gone out of the rods of her branches, it hath devoured her fruit, so that there is in her no strong rod to be a sceptre 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.
