Ezekiel 19

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,	1 Και συ αναλαβε θρηνον δια τους ηγεμονας του Ισραηλ,
2 And say: Why did thy mother the lioness lie down among the lions, and bring up her whelps in the midst of young lions?	2 και ειπε, Τι ειναι η μητηρ σου; Λεαινα? κειται μεταξυ λεοντων, εθρεψε τα βρεφη αυτης εν μεσω σκυμνων.
3 And she brought out one of her whelps, and he became a lion: and he learned to catch the prey, and to devour men.	3 Και ανεθρεψεν εν εκ των βρεφων αυτης και εγεινε σκυμνος και εμαθε να αρπαζη το θηραμα? ανθρωπους ετρωγε.
4 And the nations heard of him, and took him, but not without receiving wounds: and they brought him in chains into the land of Egypt.	4 Και τα εθνη ηκουσαν περι αυτου? επιασθη εν τω λακκω αυτων, και εφεραν αυτον με αλυσεις εις την γην της Αιγυπτου.
5 But she seeing herself weakened, and that her hope was lost, took one of her young lions, and set him up for a lion.	5 Και ιδουσα οτι η ελπις αυτης εματαιωθη και εχαθη, ελαβεν εν αλλο εκ των βρεφων αυτης και εκαμεν αυτο σκυμνον.
6 And he went up and down among the lions, and became a lion: and he learned to catch the prey, and to devour men.	6 Και αναστρεφομενον εν μεσω των λεοντων εγεινε σκυμνος και εμαθε να αρπαζη θηραμα? ανθρωπους ετρωγε.
7 He learned to make widows, and to lay waste their cities: and the land became desolate, and the fulness thereof by the noise of his roaring.	7 Και εγνωρισε τα παλατια αυτων και ερημονε τας πολεις αυτων? και ητο ηφανισμενη η γη και το πληρωμα αυτης απο του ηχου του βρυχηματος αυτου.
8 And the nations Game together against him on every side out of the provinces, and they spread their net over him, in their wounds he was taken.	8 Και τα εθνη παρεταχθησαν εναντιον αυτου κυκλοθεν εκ των επαρχιων και ηπλωσαν κατ' αυτου τα βροχια αυτων, και επιασθη εν τω λακκω αυτων.
9 And they put him into a cage, they brought him in chains to the king of Babylon: and they cast him into prison, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.	9 Και εβαλον αυτον με αλυσεις εις κλωβιον και εφεραν αυτον προς τον βασιλεα της Βαβυλωνος? εν δεσμωτηριω εισηγαγον αυτον, δια να μη ακουσθη πλεον φωνη αυτου επι τα ορη του Ισραηλ.
10 Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood planted by the water: her fruit and her branches have grown out of many waters.	10 Η μητηρ σου, καθ' ομοιωσιν σου, ητο ως αμπελος πεφυτευμενη πλησιον των υδατων? εγεινε καρποφορος και πληρης κλαδων δια τα πολλα υδατα.
11 And she hath strong rods to make sceptres for them that bear rule, and her stature was exalted among the branches: and she saw her height in the multitude of her branches.	11 Και εγειναν εις αυτην ραβδοι ισχυραι δια σκηπτρα των κρατουντων? και ο κορμος αυτης υψωθη εν μεσω των πυκνων κλαδων, και εγεινε περιβλεπτος κατα το υψος αυτης μεταξυ του πληθους των βλαστων αυτης.
12 But she was plucked up in wrath, and cast on the ground, and the burning wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods are withered, and dried up: the fire hath devoured her.	12 Απεσπασθη ομως μετα θυμου, ερριφθη κατα γης, και ανατολικος ανεμος κατεξηρανε τον καρπον αυτης? αι ισχυραι αυτης ραβδοι συνεθλασθησαν και εξηρανθησαν? πυρ κατεφαγεν αυτας.
13 And now she is transplanted into the desert, in a land not passable, and dry.	13 Και τωρα ειναι πεφυτευμενη εν ερημω, εν ξηρα και ανυδρω γη.
14 And a fire is gone out from a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit: so that she now hath no strong rod, to be a sceptre of rulers. This is a lamentation, and it shall be for a lamentation.	14 Και εξηλθε πυρ απο ραβδου τινος εκ των κλαδων αυτης και κατεφαγε τον καρπον αυτης, ωστε δεν υπηρχε πλεον εν αυτη ραβδος ισχυρα δια σκηπτρον ηγεμονιας? ουτος ειναι ο θρηνος και θελει εισθαι εις θρηνον.
