Yehezkiel 19
1 Allah menyuruh aku menyanyikan ratapan ini untuk dua orang pangeran Israel:
Thou also, take vp a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
2 Ibumu bagaikan singa betina yang hebat dan luar biasa. Ia membesarkan anak-anaknya di antara singa-singa perkasa.
And say, Wherefore lay thy mother as a lyonesse among the lyons? she nourished her yong ones among the lyons whelps,
3 Salah seekor anaknya dididiknya dan diajarinya mencari mangsa. Maka jadilah ia singa dewasa penerkam dan pemakan manusia.
And she brought vp one of her whelps, and it became a lyon, and it learned to catch the praye, and it deuoured men.
4 Bangsa-bangsa yang mendengar tentang dia berkumpul untuk menangkapnya. Ia dijebak dalam lubang dan ditawan, lalu diseret ke Mesir dengan kaitan.
The nations also heard of him, and he was taken in their nets, and they brought him in chaines vnto the land of Egypt.
5 Sia-sia si induk menunggu anaknya; lalu ia tahu bahwa hilanglah harapannya. Maka anaknya yang lain dilatihnya menjadi singa ganas dan perkasa.
Nowe when she sawe, that she had waited and her hope was lost, she tooke another of her whelps, and made him a lyon.
6 Anak singa itu menjadi dewasa dan bergaul dengan singa-singa lainnya. Ia belajar mencari mangsa, dan menjadi pemakan orang juga.
Which went among the lyons, and became a lyon, and learned to catch the praye, and he deuoured men.
7 Benteng-benteng didobraknya, kota-kota dirusaknya. Seluruh penduduk negeri menjadi gentar mendengar aumnya yang bergelegar.
And he knew their widowes, and he destroyed their cities, and the land was wasted, and all that was therein by the noyse of his roaring.
8 Tetapi bangsa-bangsa dari wilayah sekelilingnya menyergapnya dari mana-mana. Mereka tebarkan jala untuk menangkapnya, dan ia pun terjebak dalam perangkap mereka.
Then the nations set against him on euery side of the countreys, and laide their nets for him: so he was taken in their pit.
9 Ia dimasukkan ke dalam kurungan singa lalu dibawa ke negeri Babel, menghadap raja. Ia dijaga kuat supaya aumnya jangan kedengaran lagi di atas bukit-bukit Israel yang tinggi.
And they put him in prison and in chaines, and brought him to the King of Babel, and they put him in holdes, that his voyce should no more be heard vpon the mountaines of Israel.
10 Ibumu bagaikan pohon anggur permai yang tumbuh di kebun dekat anak sungai. Ia menjadi rindang dan berbuah sebab air di situ berlimpah-limpah.
Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she brought foorth fruite and branches by the abundant waters,
11 Cabangnya kuat, tak mudah dipatahkan layak dijadikan tongkat kerajaan. Puncaknya tinggi menjulang menjangkau awan-awan. Ia dikagumi semua orang sebab ia tinggi dan daunnya rindang.
And she had strong rods for the scepters of them that beare rule, and her stature was exalted among the branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.
12 Tetapi ia dicabut oleh tangan-tangan yang marah, kemudian dicampakkan ke tanah. Angin Timur bertiup, mengeringkan buahnya yang segar. Dahannya patah, menjadi kering lalu dibakar.
But she was plucked vp in wrath: she was cast downe to the ground, and the East winde dried vp her fruite: her branches were broken, and withered: as for the rod of her strength, the fire consumed it.
13 Kini ia ditanam di padang pasir, di tanah gersang dan tidak berair.
And now she is planted in the wildernes in a drie and thirstie ground.
14 Batang anggur itu dijilat api menjalar; cabang dan buahnya habis terbakar. Dahannya kini tanpa kekuatan; tak mungkin dijadikan tongkat kerajaan. Itulah ratapan yang berulang-ulang dinyanyikan oleh umat.
And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath deuoured her fruite, so that she hath no strong rod to be a scepter to rule: this is a lamentation and shalbe for a lamentation.
