Ezekieli 19
1 “Tena wewe, chukua maombolezo juu ya viongozi wa Israeli
And you take up a lamentation because of [the] princes of Israel.
2 na sema, 'Mama yako alikuwa nani? Simba jike mmoja, aliishi na mtoto wa simba dume; katikati ya simba wadogo, aliwalisha watoto wake.
And you will say what? [was] mother your a lioness between lions she lay down in among young lions she reared cubs her.
3 Alimlea mmoja wa wale watoto kurarua wanyama wengine, na kisha alijifunza jinsi ya kuwinda watu na kuwala.
And she brought up one of cubs her a young lion it was and it learned to tear prey human[s] it devoured.
4 Kisha mataifa wakasikia kuhusu yeye. Akakamatwa kwenye mtego wao, na wakamleta kwa kulabu hata nchi ya Misri.
And they heard concerning it nations in pit their it was caught and they brought it with hooks to [the] land of Egypt.
5 Kisha alipoona kwamba ingawa alikuwa akimsubiri arudi, matumaini yake sasa yalienda, hivyo alimchukua mtoto wake wengine katika watoto wake na kumlea hata kuwa mwana simba.
And she saw that she waited it was lost hope her and she took one of cubs her a young lion she made it.
6 Huyu mwana simba alitembea huku na huku katikati ya simba. Akawa mwana simba na kujifunza kuwinda mawindo; akala watu.
And it went about in among lions a young lion it was and it learned to tear prey human[s] it devoured.
7 Akawakamata wajane na kuiharibu miji. Nchi na viijazavyo vilitelekezwa kwa sababu ya sauti ya kunguruma kwake.
And it knew widows its and cities their it laid waste and it was desolate [the] land and what fills it from [the] sound of roaring its.
8 Lakini mataifa yakaja juu yake kutoka mikoa yote; wakatengeneza nyavu juu yake. Akakamatwa kwenye mtego wao.
And they set on it nations all around from provinces and they spread out over it net their in pit their it was caught.
9 Kwa kulabu wakamuweka kwenye tundu na kisha wakamleta hata kwa mfalme wa Babeli. Wakamleta hata kwenye ngome imara ili kwamba sauti yake isiweze kusikika juu ya milima ya Israeli.
And they put it in cage with hooks and they brought it to [the] king of Babylon they brought it in strongholds so that not it will be heard voice its again to [the] mountains of Israel.
10 Mama yako alikuwa kama mzabibu uliopandwa kwenye damu yako karibu na maji. ulizaa matunda na kujaa matawi kwa sababu ya wingi wa maji.
Mother your like vine in blood your at water planted fruitful and full of branches it was from waters many.
11 Ulikuwa na matawi imara yaliyokuwa yakitumika kwa ajili ya fimbo ya utawala, na kipimo chake kiliinuka juu ya matawi, na kina wake ulionekana kwa ukubwa wa majani yake.
And they belonged to it branches of strength to scepters of rulers and it was lofty stature its above between branches and it was seen by height its by [the] abundance of branches its.
12 Lakini mzabibu uling'olewa kwa ghadhabu na kutupwa chini hata aridhini, na upepo wa mashariki uliuvunja na kunyauka na moto ukavila.
And it was plucked up in rage to the ground it was thrown down and [the] wind of the east it dried up fruit its they were torn off and they became dry [the] branch of strength its a fire it consumed it.
13 Hivyo sasa, umepandwa jangwani, kwenye nchi ya ukame na kavu.
And now [it is] planted in the wilderness in a land dry and thirst.
14 Kwa kuwa moto ulitoka kwenye matawi makubwa na kuyala matunda yake. Hakuna tawi imara juu yake, hakuna fimbo ya kifalme kutawala.' Haya ni maombolezo na yataimbwa kama maombolezo.”
And it went out fire from [the] branch of shoots its fruit its it consumed and not it was in it a branch of strength a scepter to rule [is] a lamentation it and it has become a lamentation.
