Ezekiel 19

1 And thou, sone of man, take weiling on the princes of Israel;

›Poleg tega vzdigni žalostinko za Izraelovimi princi

2 and thou schalt seie, Whi thi modir, a lionesse, lai among liouns? In the myddis of litle liouns sche nurschide hir whelpis,

in reci: ›Kaj je tvoja mati? Levinja. Ulegla se je med levi, svoje mladiče je hranila med mladimi levi.

3 and ledde out oon of hir litle liouns; he was maad a lioun, and he lernyde to take prei, and to ete men.

Vzgojila je enega izmed svojih mladičev. Ta je postal mlad lev in se naučil loviti plen; ta je žrl ljudi.

4 And hethene men herden of hym, and token hym not withouten her woundis; and thei brouyten hym in chaynes in to the lond of Egipt.

Tudi narodi so slišali o njem; ujel se je v njihovo jamo in z verigami so ga odvedli v egiptovsko deželo.

5 Which modir whanne sche hadde seyn, that sche was sijk, and the abiding of hym perischide, took oon of her litle liouns, and made hym a lioun.

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.

6 Which yede among liouns, and was maad a lioun;

In hodil je gor in dol med levi in postal mlad lev in se naučil loviti plen in žreti ljudi.

7 and lernede to take prey, and to deuoure men. He lernyde to make widewis, and to brynge the citees of men in to desert; and the lond and the fulnesse therof was maad desolat, of the vois of his roryng.

In poznal je njihove zapuščene palače in pustošil njihova mesta; in dežela je bila zapuščena in njena polnost s hrupom njegovega rjovenja.

8 And hethene men camen togidere ayens hym on ech side fro prouynces, and spredden on hym her net; he was takun in the woundis of tho hethene men.

Potem so se narodi od provinc na vsaki strani naravnali zoper njega in nad njim razprostrli svojo mrežo. Ujet je bil v njihovo jamo.

9 And thei senten hym in to a caue in chaines, and brouyten hym to the kyng of Babiloyne; and thei senten hym in to prisoun, that his vois were no more herd on the hillis of Israel.

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.

10 Thi modir as a vyner in thi blood was plauntid on watre; the fruitis therof and the boowis therof encreessiden of many watris.

Tvoja mati je podobna trti v tvoji krvi, zasajena pri vodah. Bila je rodovitna in polna mladik zaradi razloga mnogih vodá.

11 And sadde yerdis weren maad to it in to septris of lordis, and the stature therof was enhaunsid among boowis; and it siy his hiynesse in the multitude of hise siouns.

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.

12 And it was drawun out in wraththe, and was cast forth in to erthe; and a brennynge wynd dryede the fruyt therof, and the yerdis of strengthe therof welewiden, and weren maad drie, and fier eet it.

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.

13 And now it is plauntid ouer in desert, in a lond with out weie, and thristi.

In sedaj je zasajena v divjini, v suhih in žejnih tleh.

14 And fier yede out of the yerde of the braunchis therof, that eet the fruyt therof. And a stronge yerde, the ceptre of lordis, was not in it. It is weilyng, and it schal be in to weilyng.

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.‹«
