Ezekiyel 19
1 “Ka yi makoki game da sarakunan Isra’ila
And thou, lift up a lamentation unto princes of Israel,
2 ka ce, “‘Mahaifiyarki zakanya ce cikin zakoki! Takan kwanta cikin’yan zakoki ta kuma yi renon kwiyakwiyanta.
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.
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 bringeth up one of her whelps, A young lion it hath been, And it learneth to tear prey, man it hath devoured.
4 Al’ummai suka ji labarinsa, aka kuma kama shi cikin raminsu. Suka ja shi da ƙugiyoyi zuwa ƙasar Masar.
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.
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.
And she seeth, that stayed — perished hath her hope, And she taketh one of her whelps, A young lion she hath made it.
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.
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.
7 Ya rurrushe kagaransu ya kuma ragargaza biranensu. Ƙasar da dukan waɗanda suke cikinta sun tsorata da jin rurinsa.
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.
8 Sai al’ummai suka tayar masa, waɗannan daga yankunan da suke kewaye. Suka yafa raga dominsa ya kuwa fāɗa cikin raminsu.
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.
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 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.
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] as a vine in thy blood by waters planted, Fruitful and full of boughs it hath been, Because of many 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 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.
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.
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.
13 Yanzu an shuka ta a hamada, a busasshiyar ƙasa marar ruwa.
And now — it is planted in a wilderness, In a land dry and thirsty.
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 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!'
