Ezekiel 19

1 Thou. therefore take up a dirge, for the prince of Israel;

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

2 and thou shalt say— How was thy mother a lioness, Between lions, she lay down, - In the midst of young lions, She nourished her whelps;

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

3 And she reared up one of her whelps— A young lion, he became, And he learned to rend prey. Men, he devoured.

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

4 Then nations heard of him. In their pit, was he caught, — So they brought him with hooks. Into 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 And she saw she had waited Lost was her hope, Then took she another of her whelps. A young lion, she made him.

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 Yea he went to and fro amidst lions A young lion, he became, - And he learned to rend prey. Men, he devoured;

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

7 And he injured his widows, And their cities, laid waste, - And deserted was the land and its fulness, At 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 set upon him the nations round about. From the provinces, - And spread over him their net In their pit, was he caught;

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 And they put him in a cage with hooks, And brought him to Babylon’s king, — They brought him into strong-holds, That his noise might be heard no more Among 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 Thy mother [was] like a vine of thy vineyard, By waters, was planted, — Fruitful and full of branches, she became By reason of waters abundant;

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

11 And they served her as staves of power For the sceptres of rulers, And high became the stature thereof With its interwoven foliage, - And it was seen by its height, By its multitude of 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 Then was she uprooted in indignation To the ground, was she cast, And an east wind, dried up her fruit, —Broken off and withered were her staves of power, A fire, devoured 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, therefore, is she planted in a desert, -In a land parched and dry;

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

14 And there hath gone forth a fire out of her staves of rods. Her fruit, hath it devoured, And there is in her no staff of power. As a sceptre to bear rule. A dirge, it is, and hath been made a dirge.

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.
