Ezekiel 19

1 And thou, lift up a lamentation unto princes of Israel,

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

2 and thou hast said: What [is] thy mother? — a lioness, Among lions she hath crouched down, In the midst of young lions she hath multiplied 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 bringeth up one of her whelps, A young lion it hath been, And it learneth to tear prey, man it hath 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 And hear of it do nations, In their pit it hath been caught, And they bring it in with chains unto 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 seeth, that stayed — perished hath her hope, And she taketh one of her whelps, A young lion she hath made it.

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 And it goeth up and down in the midst of lions, A young lion it hath been, And it learneth to tear prey, man it hath 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 it knoweth his forsaken habitations, And their cities it hath laid waste, And desolate is the land and its fulness, Because of the voice 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 And set against it do nations Round about from the provinces. And they spread out for it their net, In their pit it hath been 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 it in prison — in chains, And they bring it unto the king of Babylon, They bring it in unto bulwarks, So that its voice is not heard any more On 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 [is] as a vine in thy blood by waters planted, Fruitful and full of boughs it hath been, Because of many waters.

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

11 And it hath strong rods for sceptres of rulers, And high is its stature above thick branches, And it appeareth in its height In the multitude of its thin shoots.

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 And it is plucked up in fury, To the earth it hath been cast, And the east wind hath dried up its fruit, Broken and withered hath been the rod of its strength, Fire hath consumed it.

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 And now — it is planted in a wilderness, In a land dry and thirsty.

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

14 And go forth doth fire from a rod of its boughs, Its fruit it hath devoured, And it hath no rod of strength — a sceptre to rule, Lamentation it [is] — and it is for a lamentation!'

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.
