Ezekiyel 19
1 “Ka yi makoki game da sarakunan Isra’ila
“As for you, take up a lament for the princes of Israel
2 ka ce, “‘Mahaifiyarki zakanya ce cikin zakoki! Takan kwanta cikin’yan zakoki ta kuma yi renon kwiyakwiyanta.
and say: ‘What was your mother? A lioness among the lions! She lay down among the young lions; she reared her cubs.
3 Ta goyi ɗaya daga cikin kwiyakwiyanta, ya yi girma ya zama zaki mai ƙarfi. Ya koyi yayyage abin da ya yi farauta yakan kuma cinye mutane.
She brought up one of her cubs, and he became a young lion. After learning to tear his prey, he devoured men.
4 Al’ummai suka ji labarinsa, aka kuma kama shi cikin raminsu. Suka ja shi da ƙugiyoyi zuwa ƙasar Masar.
When the nations heard of him, he was trapped in their pit. With hooks they led him away to the land of Egypt.
5 “‘Sa’ad da ta ga sa zuciyarta bai cika ba, abin da take fata gani ya tafi, sai ta ɗauki wani daga cikin kwiyakwiyanta ta mai da shi zaki mai ƙarfi.
When she saw that she had waited in vain, that her hope was lost, she took another of her cubs and made him a young lion.
6 Ya yi ta yawo a cikin zakoki, gama yanzu shi zaki ne mai ƙarfi. Ya koyi yayyage abin da ya yi farauta yakan kuma cinye mutane.
He prowled among the lions, and became a young lion. After learning to tear his prey, he devoured men.
7 Ya rurrushe kagaransu ya kuma ragargaza biranensu. Ƙasar da dukan waɗanda suke cikinta sun tsorata da jin rurinsa.
He broke down their strongholds and devastated their cities. The land and everything in it shuddered at the sound of his roaring.
8 Sai al’ummai suka tayar masa, waɗannan daga yankunan da suke kewaye. Suka yafa raga dominsa ya kuwa fāɗa cikin raminsu.
Then the nations set out against him from the provinces on every side. They spread their net over him; he was trapped in their pit.
9 Da ƙugiyoyi suka ja shi cikin keji suka kawo shi wurin sarkin Babilon. Suka sa shi cikin kurkuku, saboda haka ba a ƙara jin rurinsa a kan duwatsun Isra’ila ba.
With hooks they caged him and brought him to the king of Babylon. They brought him into captivity so that his roar was heard no longer on the mountains of Israel.
10 “‘Mahaifiyarku kamar kuringa ce a cikin gonar inabi da aka shuka kusa da ruwa; ta ba da’ya’ya da kuma cikakkun rassa saboda yalwan ruwa.
Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard, planted by the water; it was fruitful and full of branches because of the abundant waters.
11 Rassanta suka yi ƙarfi, suka dace da sandar mai mulki. Ta yi tsayi zuwa sama ana ganin ta saboda tsayinta da kuma saboda yawan rassanta.
It had strong branches, fit for a ruler’s scepter. It towered high above the thick branches, conspicuous for its height and for its dense foliage.
12 Amma aka tumɓuke ta cikin fushi aka jefar da ita a ƙasa. Iskar gabas ta sa ta yanƙwane, aka kakkaɓe’ya’yanta; rassanta masu ƙarfi suka bushe wuta kuma ta cinye su.
But it was uprooted in fury, cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit. Its strong branches were stripped off and they withered; the fire consumed them.
13 Yanzu an shuka ta a hamada, a busasshiyar ƙasa marar ruwa.
Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
14 Wuta ta fito daga jikin rassanta ta cinye’ya’yanta. Babu sauran reshe mai ƙarfin da ya rage a kanta da ya dace da sandar mai mulki.’ Wannan waƙa ce kuma za a yi amfani da ita a matsayin makoki.”
Fire has gone out from its main branch and devoured its fruit; on it no strong branch remains fit for a ruler’s scepter.’ This is a lament and shall be used as a lament.”
