Ezequiel 19
1 E tu levanta uma lamentação sobre os principes d'Israel.
“Now you, take up a lamentation against the leaders of Israel
2 E dize: Quem foi tua mãe? uma leoa entre leões deitada creou os seus cachorros no meio dos leõesinhos.
and say, 'Who was your mother? A lioness, she lived with a lion's son; in the midst of young lions, she nurtured her cubs.
3 E fez crescer um dos seus cachorrinhos, e veiu a ser leãosinho e aprendeu a apanhar a preza; e devorou os homens,
She is the one who raised up one of her cubs to become a young lion, a lion who learned to tear apart his victims, and then he devoured men.
4 E, ouvindo fallar d'elle as nações, foi apanhado na cova d'ellas, e o trouxeram com ganchos á terra do Egypto.
Then the nations heard about him. He was caught in their trap, and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt.
5 Vendo pois ella que havia esperado muito, e que a sua expectação era perdida, tomou outro dos seus cachorros, e fez d'elle um leãosinho.
Then she saw that although she had waited for his return, her expectation was now gone, so she took another of her cubs and raised him to become a young lion.
6 Este pois, andando continuamente no meio dos leões, veiu a ser leãosinho, e aprendeu a apanhar a preza: e devorou homens.
This young lion roamed about in the midst of lions. He was a young lion and learned to tear his victims; he devoured men.
7 E conheceu os seus palacios, e destruiu as suas cidades; e assolou-se a terra, e a sua plenitude, ao ouvir o seu rugido.
He seized their widows and ruined their cities. The land and its fullness were abandoned because of the sound of his roaring.
8 Então se ajuntavam contra elle as gentes das provincias em roda, e estenderam sobre elle a rede, e foi apanhado na cova d'ellas.
But the nations came against him from the surrounding provinces; they spread their nets over him. He was caught in their trap.
9 E metteram-n'o em carcere com ganchos, e o levaram ao rei de Babylonia; fizeram-n'o entrar nos logares fortes, para que se não ouvisse mais a sua voz nos montes de Israel.
With hooks they put him in a cage and then they brought him to the king of Babylon. They brought him to the strongholds so that his voice would no longer be heard on the mountains of Israel.
10 Tua mãe era como uma videira na tua quietação, plantada á borda das aguas, fructificando, e foi cheia de ramos, por causa das muitas aguas.
Your mother was like a vine planted in your blood beside the water. it was fruitful and full of branches because of the abundance of water.
11 E tinha varas fortes para sceptros de dominadores, e elevou-se a sua estatura entre os espessos ramos; e foi vista na sua altura com a multidão dos seus ramos.
It had strong branches that were used for rulers' scepters, and its size was exalted above the branches, and its height was seen by the greatness of its foliage.
12 Porém foi arrancada com furor, foi abatida até á terra, e o vento oriental seccou o seu fructo; quebraram-se e seccaram-se as suas fortes varas, o fogo as consumiu,
But the vine was uprooted in fury and thrown down to the earth, and an eastern wind dried out its fruit. Its strong branches were broken off and withered and fire consumed them.
13 E agora está plantada no deserto, n'uma terra secca e sedenta.
So now it is planted in the wilderness, in a land of drought and thirst.
14 E d'uma vara dos seus ramos saiu fogo que consumiu o seu fructo de maneira que n'ella não ha mais vara forte, sceptro para dominar. Esta é a lamentação, e servirá de lamentação.
For fire went out from her large branches and consumed its fruit. There is no strong branch on it, no scepter to rule.' This is a lamentation and will be sung as a lamentation.”
