Ezekiel 19
1 “Isu a sika! Ikantam daytoy a panagunnoy a maibusor kadagiti mangidadaulo iti Israel
Moreover, take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
2 ket kunaem, 'Siasino ti inam? Maysa a kabaian a leon a nagnaed kadagiti kalakian nga urbon ti maysa a leon; iti nagtetengngaan dagiti bumaro a leon, tinaraonanna dagiti urbonna.
and say: —How lay thy mother at ease, a lioness among lions! Among young lions she nourished her whelps;
3 Ket pinadakkelna ti maysa kadagiti urbonna agingga a nagbalin a bumaro a leon a nakasursuro a mangrangkay kadagiti biktimana. Naglamut isuna kadagiti tattao.
And she brought up one of her whelps; He became a young lion, And he learned to seize the prey; he devoured men.
4 Ket nangngeg dagiti nasion ti maipanggep kenkuana. Natiliw isuna iti palab-ogda, ket impanda iti daga ti Egipto babaen kadagiti kallawit.
And when the nations heard of him, he was taken in their pit, And they brought him with nose-rings to the land of Egypt.
5 Ket nakitana nga uray no nagur-uray isuna iti panagsublina, napukawen ti namnamana, isu a nangala isuna iti maysa pay kadagiti urbonna ket pinadakkelna agingga a nagbalin a bumaro a leon.
And when she saw that she waited in vain, and that her hope was lost, She took another of her whelps, and she made him a young lion.
6 Nakipagdakiwas daytoy a bumaro a leon kadagiti padana a leon. Bumaro isuna a leon ket nasursurona ti mangrangkay kadagiti biktimana; naglamut isuna kadagiti tattao.
And he went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion, And he learned to seize the prey; he devoured men.
7 Ket rinamesna dagiti balo dagiti napapatayna ken dinadaelna dagiti siudadda. Ket nabaybay-an ti daga ken amin a linaonna gapu iti uni ti panagngerngerna!
He knew their widows, and laid waste their cities, And the land was desolate, and all that was therein, before the voice of his roaring.
8 Ngem immay dagiti nasion a maibusor kenkuana manipud kadagiti kabangibang a probinsia; inwayatda dagiti iketda kenkuana. Natiliw isuna iti palab-ogda.
Then the nations set themselves against him on every side from the provinces, And spread their net over him; He was taken in their pit.
9 Inkabilda isuna iti tangkal babaen iti kallawit ket impanda iti ari ti Babilonia. Impanda isuna kadagiti sarikedked dagiti bantay tapno saanen a mangngeg ti timekna kadagiti bantay ti Israel.
And they put him with nose rings into a cage, And carried him to the king of Babylon. And they carried him to a stronghold, That his voice might be heard no more Upon the mountains of Israel.
10 Maiyarig ti inam iti ubas a naimula iti daram iti abay ti danum. Nabunga isuna ken adu ti sangana gapu iti kinawadwad ti danum.
Thy mother was like a vine planted like thyself by the waters; She was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters;
11 Addaan isuna kadagiti natitibker a sanga nga agpaay a setro ti pangulo, ken maidaydayaw ti kinatayagna kadagiti sanga dagiti kaykayo nga adda iti aglawlawna.
She had strong rods for sceptres of rulers, And her stature was high among the thick branches, So that she was conspicuous in her height, And the multitude of her branches.
12 Ngem naparut ti ubas gapu iti pungtot ket naibelleng iti daga, ket pinagango ti angin manipud daya ti bungana. Nasip-ak dagiti natibker a sangana ket nalaylay; inuram ti apuy dagitoy.
But she was plucked up in fury, She was cast down to the ground, And the east wind dried up her fruit. Her strong rods were broken and withered; The fire consumed them.
13 Isu nga ita naimula isuna iti let-ang, iti daga a natikag ken namaga.
And now she is planted in the desert, In a dry and thirsty land.
14 Ta adda apuy a rimmuar manipud kadagiti dadakkel a sangana ket pinuoran daytoy dagiti bungana. Awanen ti natibker a sangana, awanen ti setro nga agturay.' Daytoy ket un-unnoy a maikantanto a kas panagunnoy.”
And a fire is gone forth out of a rod of her branches, Which hath devoured her fruit, So that she hath no strong rod for a ruler's sceptre. This is a lamentation, and it shall be for a lamentation.
