Ezekiyel 19
1 “Ka yi makoki game da sarakunan Isra’ila
Thou also, take vp a lamentation 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, Wherefore lay thy mother as a lyonesse among the lyons? she nourished her yong ones among the lyons whelps,
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.
And she brought vp one of her whelps, and it became a lyon, and it learned to catch the praye, and it deuoured men.
4 Al’ummai suka ji labarinsa, aka kuma kama shi cikin raminsu. Suka ja shi da ƙugiyoyi zuwa ƙasar Masar.
The nations also heard of him, and he was taken in their nets, and they brought him in chaines vnto 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.
Nowe when she sawe, that she had waited and her hope was lost, she tooke another of her whelps, and made him a lyon.
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.
Which went among the lyons, and became a lyon, and learned to catch the praye, and he deuoured men.
7 Ya rurrushe kagaransu ya kuma ragargaza biranensu. Ƙasar da dukan waɗanda suke cikinta sun tsorata da jin rurinsa.
And he knew their widowes, and he destroyed their cities, and the land was wasted, and all that was therein by the noyse 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 against him on euery side of the countreys, and laide their nets for him: so he was taken 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.
And they put him in prison and in chaines, and brought him to the King of Babel, and they put him in holdes, that his voyce should no more be heard vpon the mountaines 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.
Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she brought foorth fruite and branches by 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.
And she had strong rods for the scepters of them that beare rule, and her stature was exalted among the branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.
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 she was plucked vp in wrath: she was cast downe to the ground, and the East winde dried vp her fruite: her branches were broken, and withered: as for the rod of her strength, the fire consumed it.
13 Yanzu an shuka ta a hamada, a busasshiyar ƙasa marar ruwa.
And now she is planted in the wildernes in a drie and thirstie ground.
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.”
And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath deuoured her fruite, so that she hath no strong rod to be a scepter to rule: this is a lamentation and shalbe for a lamentation.
