Ezekiel 19
1 LEUM GOD El sap ngan yuk on soko inge. On in asor soko ke fisrak luo lun Israel.
Moreover, 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: —How lay thy mother at ease, a lioness among lions! Among young lions she nourished her whelps;
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; He became a young lion, And he learned to seize 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 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 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 waited in vain, and that her hope was lost, She took another of her whelps, and she 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 he learned to seize 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.
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 Mutunfacl uh tukeni in mweunel; Mwet uh tuku ke acn nukewa. Elos laknelik nwek lalos Ac sruokilya ke sruhf lalos.
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 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 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 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 like a vine planted like thyself by the waters; She 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.
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 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 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 Inge yoki yen mwesis Yen pao ac wangin kof we.
And now she is planted in the desert, In a dry and thirsty land.
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 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.
