Ezekiel 19
1 And you take up a lamentation because of [the] princes of Israel.
And thou, sone of man, take weiling on the princes of Israel;
2 And you will say what? [was] mother your a lioness between lions she lay down in among young lions she reared cubs her.
and thou schalt seie, Whi thi modir, a lionesse, lai among liouns? In the myddis of litle liouns sche nurschide hir whelpis,
3 And she brought up one of cubs her a young lion it was and it learned to tear prey human[s] it devoured.
and ledde out oon of hir litle liouns; he was maad a lioun, and he lernyde to take prei, and to ete men.
4 And they heard concerning it nations in pit their it was caught and they brought it with hooks to [the] land of Egypt.
And hethene men herden of hym, and token hym not withouten her woundis; and thei brouyten hym in chaynes in to the lond of Egipt.
5 And she saw that she waited it was lost hope her and she took one of cubs her a young lion she made it.
Which modir whanne sche hadde seyn, that sche was sijk, and the abiding of hym perischide, took oon of her litle liouns, and made hym a lioun.
6 And it went about in among lions a young lion it was and it learned to tear prey human[s] it devoured.
Which yede among liouns, and was maad a lioun;
7 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.
and lernede to take prey, and to deuoure men. He lernyde to make widewis, and to brynge the citees of men in to desert; and the lond and the fulnesse therof was maad desolat, of the vois of his roryng.
8 And they set on it nations all around from provinces and they spread out over it net their in pit their it was caught.
And hethene men camen togidere ayens hym on ech side fro prouynces, and spredden on hym her net; he was takun in the woundis of tho hethene men.
9 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.
And thei senten hym in to a caue in chaines, and brouyten hym to the kyng of Babiloyne; and thei senten hym in to prisoun, that his vois were no more herd on the hillis of Israel.
10 Mother your like vine in blood your at water planted fruitful and full of branches it was from waters many.
Thi modir as a vyner in thi blood was plauntid on watre; the fruitis therof and the boowis therof encreessiden of many watris.
11 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.
And sadde yerdis weren maad to it in to septris of lordis, and the stature therof was enhaunsid among boowis; and it siy his hiynesse in the multitude of hise siouns.
12 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.
And it was drawun out in wraththe, and was cast forth in to erthe; and a brennynge wynd dryede the fruyt therof, and the yerdis of strengthe therof welewiden, and weren maad drie, and fier eet it.
13 And now [it is] planted in the wilderness in a land dry and thirst.
And now it is plauntid ouer in desert, in a lond with out weie, and thristi.
14 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.
And fier yede out of the yerde of the braunchis therof, that eet the fruyt therof. And a stronge yerde, the ceptre of lordis, was not in it. It is weilyng, and it schal be in to weilyng.
