Ezekiel 19
1 ›Poleg tega vzdigni žalostinko za Izraelovimi princi
Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
2 in reci: ›Kaj je tvoja mati? Levinja. Ulegla se je med levi, svoje mladiče je hranila med mladimi levi.
And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.
3 Vzgojila je enega izmed svojih mladičev. Ta je postal mlad lev in se naučil loviti plen; ta je žrl ljudi.
And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
4 Tudi narodi so slišali o njem; ujel se je v njihovo jamo in z verigami so ga odvedli v egiptovsko deželo.
The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
5 Torej ko je videla, da je čakala in je bilo njeno upanje izgubljeno, potem je vzela še enega izmed svojih mladičev in ga naredila za mladega leva.
Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.
6 In hodil je gor in dol med levi in postal mlad lev in se naučil loviti plen in žreti ljudi.
And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.
7 In poznal je njihove zapuščene palače in pustošil njihova mesta; in dežela je bila zapuščena in njena polnost s hrupom njegovega rjovenja.
And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise of his roaring.
8 Potem so se narodi od provinc na vsaki strani naravnali zoper njega in nad njim razprostrli svojo mrežo. Ujet je bil v njihovo jamo.
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 In dali so ga pod stražo, v verige in ga privedli k babilonskemu kralju. Privedli so ga v utrdbe, da njegovega glasu ne bi bilo več slišati na Izraelovih gorah.
And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
10 Tvoja mati je podobna trti v tvoji krvi, zasajena pri vodah. Bila je rodovitna in polna mladik zaradi razloga mnogih vodá.
Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
11 Imela je močne palice za žezla tistih, ki so vladali in njena postava je bila povišana med debelimi mladikami in v svoji višini se je pojavila z množico svojih mladik.
And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.
12 Toda izruvana je bila v razjarjenosti, vržena je bila na tla in vzhodnik je posušil njen sad. Njene močne palice so bile polomljene in so ovenele, ogenj jih je použil.
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 In sedaj je zasajena v divjini, v suhih in žejnih tleh.
And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
14 In ogenj je izšel iz palice njenih mladik, ki je požrl njen sad, tako da ni imela nobene močne palice, ki bi bila žezlo za vladanje. To je žalostinka in bo za žalostinko.‹«
And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
