Ezekiel 19
1 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
Et tu fili hominis assume planctum super principes Israel,
2 And say, What [is] thy mother: A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.
et dices: Quare mater tua leaena inter leones cubavit, in medio leunculorum enutrivit catulos suos?
3 And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
Et eduxit unum de leunculis suis, et leo factus est: et didicit capere praedam, hominemque comedere.
4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains to the land of Egypt.
Et audierunt de eo Gentes, et non absque vulneribus suis ceperunt eum: et adduxerunt eum in catenis in Terram Aegypti.
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.
Quae cum vidisset quoniam infirmata est, et periit expectatio eius: tulit unum de leunculis suis, leonem constituit eum.
6 And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, [and] devoured men.
Qui incedebat inter leones, et factus est leo: et didicit praedam capere, et homines devorare:
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.
Didicit viduas facere, et civitates earum in desertum adducere: et desolata est terra, et plenitudo eius a voce rugitus illius.
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.
Et convenerunt adversus eum Gentes undique de provinciis, et expanderunt super eum rete suum, in vulneribus earum captus est.
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.
Et miserunt eum in caveam, in catenis adduxerunt eum ad regem Babylonis: miseruntque eum in carcerem, ne audiretur vox eius ultra super montes Israel.
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.
Mater tua quasi vinea in sanguine tuo super aquam plantata est: fructus eius, et frondes eius creverunt ex aquis multis.
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.
Et factae sunt ei virgae solidae in sceptra dominantium, et exaltata est statura eius inter frondes: et vidit altitudinem suam in multitudine palmitum suorum.
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.
Et evulsa est in ira, in terramque proiecta, et ventus urens siccavit fructum eius: marcuerunt, et arefactae sunt virgae roboris eius: ignis comedit eam.
13 And now she [is] planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
Et nunc transplantata est in desertum, in terra invia, et sitienti.
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.
Et egressus est ignis de virga ramorum eius, qui fructum eius comedit: et non fuit in ea virga fortis, sceptrum dominantium. Planctus est, et erit in planctum.
