Ezekiel 19

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

١ «أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَٱرْفَعْ مَرْثَاةً عَلَى رُؤَسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

2 And say, What [is] thy mother: A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.

٢ وَقُلْ: مَا هِيَ أُمُّكَ؟ لَبْوَةٌ رَبَضَتْ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُسُودِ، وَرَبَّتْ جِرَاءَهَا بَيْنَ ٱلْأَشْبَالِ.

3 And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.

٣ رَبَّتْ وَاحِدًا مِنْ جِرَائِهَا فَصَارَ شِبْلًا، وَتَعَلَّمَ ٱفْتِرَاسَ ٱلْفَرِيسَةِ. أَكَلَ ٱلنَّاسَ.

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

٤ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ بِهِ ٱلْأُمَمُ أُخِذَ فِي حُفْرَتِهِمْ، فَأَتَوْا بِهِ بِخَزَائِمَ إِلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

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.

٥ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أَنَّهَا قَدِ ٱنْتَظَرَتْ وَهَلَكَ رَجَاؤُهَا، أَخَذَتْ آخَرَ مِنْ جِرَائِهَا وَصَيَّرَتْهُ شِبْلًا.

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

٦ فَتَمَشَّى بَيْنَ ٱلْأُسُودِ. صَارَ شِبْلًا وَتَعَلَّمَ ٱفْتِرَاسَ ٱلْفَرِيسَةِ. أَكَلَ ٱلنَّاسَ.

7 And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fullness of it, by the noise of his roaring.

٧ وَعَرَفَ قُصُورَهُمْ وَخَرَّبَ مُدُنَهُمْ، فَأَقْفَرَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَمِلْؤُهَا مِنْ صَوْتِ زَمْجَرَتِهِ.

8 Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.

٨ فَٱتَّفَقَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْأُمَمُ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْبُلْدَانِ، وَبَسَطُوا عَلَيْهِ شَبَكَتَهُمْ، فَأُخِذَ فِي حُفْرَتِهِمْ،

9 And they put him in custody in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.

٩ فَوَضَعُوهُ فِي قَفَصٍ بِخَزَائِمَ وَأَحْضَرُوهُ إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَأَتَوْا بِهِ إِلَى ٱلْقِلَاعِ لِكَيْلَا يُسْمَعَ صَوْتُهُ بَعْدُ عَلَى جِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

10 Thy mother [is] like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.

١٠ «أُمُّكَ كَكَرْمَةٍ، مِثْلِكَ غُرِسَتْ عَلَى ٱلْمِيَاهِ. كَانَتْ مُثْمِرَةً مُفْرِخَةً مِنْ كَثْرَةِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ.

11 And she had strong rods for the scepters of them that bore rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her hight with the multitude of her branches.

١١ وَكَانَ لَهَا فُرُوعٌ قَوِيَّةٌ لِقُضْبَانِ ٱلْمُتَسَلِّطِينَ، وَٱرْتَفَعَ سَاقُهَا بَيْنَ ٱلْأَغْصَانِ ٱلْغَبْيَاءِ، وَظَهَرَتْ فِي ٱرْتِفَاعِهَا بِكَثْرَةِ زَرَاجِينِهَا.

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 and withered; the fire consumed them.

١٢ لَكِنَّهَا ٱقْتُلِعَتْ بِغَيْظٍ وَطُرِحَتْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَقَدْ يَبَّسَتْ رِيحٌ شَرْقِيَّةٌ ثَمَرَهَا. قُصِفَتْ وَيَبِسَتْ فُرُوعُهَا ٱلْقَوِيَّةُ. أَكَلَتْهَا ٱلنَّارُ.

13 And now she [is] planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.

١٣ وَٱلْآنَ غُرِسَتْ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ فِي أَرْضٍ يَابِسَةٍ عَطْشَانَةٍ.

14 And fire hath gone out of a rod of her branches, [which] hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod [to be] a scepter to rule. This [is] a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.

١٤ وَخَرَجَتْ نَارٌ مِنْ فَرْعِ عِصِيِّهَا أَكَلَتْ ثَمَرَهَا. وَلَيْسَ لَهَا ٱلْآنَ فَرْعٌ قَوِيٌّ لِقَضِيبِ تَسَلُّطٍ. هِيَ رِثَاءٌ وَتَكُونُ لِمَرْثَاةٍ».
