< Ezekiel 19 >

1 LEUM GOD El sap ngan yuk on soko inge. On in asor soko ke fisrak luo lun Israel.
And thou, take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
2 Nina kiomtal el oana soko lion mutan na pulaik! El tufahla lion srisrik natul wi lion mukul sulallal inge.
and say, What was thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps in the midst of the young lions.
3 El tufahla soko lion srisrik natul ac lotel in suk ma nal. Ac el etala in kang mwet.
And she brought up one of her whelps; it became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.
4 Mwet in facl sac lohng kacl Ac orek luf in sang sruokilya. Elos sang ka sruokilya, ac usalla nu in acn Egypt.
And the nations heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with nose-rings into the land of Egypt.
5 Ma mutan soko ah soano nwe ke na el liye finsrak lal nukewa wanginla Na el tufahla pac soko lion srisrik Ac el kapak nu ke lion sulallal soko.
And when she saw that she had waited [and] her hope was lost, she took another of her whelps, [and] made him a young lion.
6 Ke pacl se el sun kuiyal El wi lion uh, Ac el lutlut pac in konauk ma nal ac in mongo mwet.
And he went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.
7 El fahsr kunaus pot uh, ac kunausla pac siti srisrik. Mwet in facl sac elos tuninfong Ke pacl nukewa el ngutngut.
And he knew their [desolate] palaces, and he laid waste their cities, so that the land was desolate, and all it contained, by the noise of his roaring.
8 Mutunfacl uh tukeni in mweunel; Mwet uh tuku ke acn nukewa. Elos laknelik nwek lalos Ac sruokilya ke sruhf lalos.
Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him; he was taken in their pit.
9 Elos fililya in sie kalkal Ac usalla nu yurin tokosra lun Babylonia. Elos eisalang nu sin mwet in liyalang In mau tia sifil lohngyuk ngutngut lal ah Fineol in acn Israel nwe tok.
And they put him in a cage with nose-rings, and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into strongholds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
10 Nina kiomtal el oana fain in grape soko Su yoki sisken soko infacl. Mweyen yohk kof we, Fain soko inge nwanala ke sra ac fahko.
Thy mother was as a vine, in thy rest, planted by the waters: it was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
11 Lah kac arulana ku Ac kapak nu ke scepter lun leum uh, Fain soko ah kapak nwe ke sun pukunyeng uh; Mwet nukewa liye lusa ke loes ac nwanala ke sra.
And it had strong rods for sceptres of them that bear rule, and its stature was exalted between the thick boughs; and it was conspicuous by its height with the multitude of its branches.
12 Tusruktu mwet kasrkusrak elos fusak Ac sisya fin fohk ah, Ac eng kutulap me akpaoyela fahko kac. Lah kac kipatelik; Elos paola ac isisyak.
But it was plucked up in fury, it was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit; its strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.
13 Inge yoki yen mwesis Yen pao ac wangin kof we.
And now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground:
14 Sropon fain soko inge sun e uh, Na e uh esukak fahko ac lah kac. Lah kac tia ku in sifilpa kui, Ac tia ku in sifilpa orek scepter lun leum uh. On in asor soko pa inge; su kalweniyukna in onkakinyuk.
and a fire is gone out of a rod of its branches, [which] hath devoured its fruit; so that it hath no strong rod to be a sceptre for ruling. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
