Ezekiel 19
1 And thou, sone of man, take weiling on the princes of Israel;
Et tu fili hominis assume planctum super principes Israel,
2 and thou schalt seie, Whi thi modir, a lionesse, lai among liouns? In the myddis of litle liouns sche nurschide hir whelpis,
et dices: Quare mater tua leaena inter leones cubavit, in medio leunculorum enutrivit catulos suos?
3 and ledde out oon of hir litle liouns; he was maad a lioun, and he lernyde to take prei, and to ete men.
Et eduxit unum de leunculis suis, et leo factus est: et didicit capere praedam, hominemque comedere.
4 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.
Et audierunt de eo Gentes, et non absque vulneribus suis ceperunt eum: et adduxerunt eum in catenis in Terram Aegypti.
5 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.
Quae cum vidisset quoniam infirmata est, et periit expectatio eius: tulit unum de leunculis suis, leonem constituit eum.
6 Which yede among liouns, and was maad a lioun;
Qui incedebat inter leones, et factus est leo: et didicit praedam capere, et homines devorare:
7 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.
Didicit viduas facere, et civitates earum in desertum adducere: et desolata est terra, et plenitudo eius a voce rugitus illius.
8 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.
Et convenerunt adversus eum Gentes undique de provinciis, et expanderunt super eum rete suum, in vulneribus earum captus est.
9 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.
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 Thi modir as a vyner in thi blood was plauntid on watre; the fruitis therof and the boowis therof encreessiden of many watris.
Mater tua quasi vinea in sanguine tuo super aquam plantata est: fructus eius, et frondes eius creverunt ex aquis multis.
11 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.
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 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.
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 it is plauntid ouer in desert, in a lond with out weie, and thristi.
Et nunc transplantata est in desertum, in terra invia, et sitienti.
14 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.
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.
