Ezekiel 19

1 Moreover, take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,

А ти наричи за кнезовима Израиљевим;

2 and say, What was thy mother? A lioness: she couched among lions, in the midst of the young lions she nourished her whelps.

И реци: Шта беше мати твоја? Лавица; међу лавовима лежаше, млад своју међу лавовима храњаше.

3 And she brought up one of her whelps: he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.

И отхрани једно младо своје, и поста лавић, и научив се ловити ждераше људе.

4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit; and they brought him with hooks unto the land of Egypt.

И чуше народи за њ; ухвати се у јаму њихову, и одведоше га у веригама у земљу мисирску.

5 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.

А она кад виде где се надала, али јој нада пропаде, узе једно младо своје, и учини од њега лавића.

6 And he went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.

И он идући међу лавовима поста лавић, и научи се ловити и ждераше људе.

7 And he knew their palaces, and laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, because of the noise of his roaring.

И позна дворе њихове, и пустошаше градове њихове тако да опусте земља и шта је у њој од рике његове.

8 Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces; and they spread their net over him; he was taken in their pit.

И усташе на њ народи из околних земаља, и разапеше му мрежу своју, и ухвати се у јаму њихову.

9 And they put him in a cage with hooks, 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.

И метнуше га у крлетку у веригама, и одведоше га цару вавилонском, и метнуше га у град да му се више не чује глас по горама Израиљевим.

10 Thy mother was like a vine, in thy blood, planted by the waters: it was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.

Док беше миран, мати твоја беше као винова лоза, посађена крај воде, родна и граната беше од многе воде.

11 And it had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and their stature was exalted among the thick boughs, and they were seen in their height with the multitude of their branches.

И беху на њој јаки прутови за палицу владалачку, и растом својим узвиси се изнад густих грана, и би наочита висином својом, мноштвом грана својих.

12 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 off and withered; the fire consumed them.

Али би ишчупана у гневу и на земљу бачена, и устока осуши род њен; поломише се и посушише се јаки прутови њени; огањ их прождре.

13 And now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.

А сада је посађена у пустињи, у земљи сувој и безводној.

14 And fire is gone out of the rods of its branches, it hath devoured its fruit, so that there is in it no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.

И изађе огањ из прута грана њених и прождре род њен да нема на њој прута јаког за палицу владалачку. То је нарицање, и биће нарицање.
