Ezekiel 19

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 As for you, son of man, raise a lamentation over the prince of Israel:	1 Και συ αναλαβε θρηνον δια τους ηγεμονας του Ισραηλ,
2 What a lioness was your mother, a lion of lions! Among young lions she couched to rear her whelps.	2 και ειπε, Τι ειναι η μητηρ σου; Λεαινα? κειται μεταξυ λεοντων, εθρεψε τα βρεφη αυτης εν μεσω σκυμνων.
3 One whelp she raised up, a young lion he became; He learned to seize prey, men he devoured.	3 Και ανεθρεψεν εν εκ των βρεφων αυτης και εγεινε σκυμνος και εμαθε να αρπαζη το θηραμα? ανθρωπους ετρωγε.
4 Then nations raised cries against him, in their pit he was caught; They took him away with hooks to 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 Then she saw that in vain she had waited, her hope was destroyed. She took another of her whelps, him she made a young lion.	5 Και ιδουσα οτι η ελπις αυτης εματαιωθη και εχαθη, ελαβεν εν αλλο εκ των βρεφων αυτης και εκαμεν αυτο σκυμνον.
6 He prowled among the lions, a young lion he became; He learned to seize prey, men he devoured;	6 Και αναστρεφομενον εν μεσω των λεοντων εγεινε σκυμνος και εμαθε να αρπαζη θηραμα? ανθρωπους ετρωγε.
7 He ravaged their strongholds, their cities he wasted. The land and all in it were appalled at the noise of his roar.	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 Nations laid out against him snares all about him; They spread their net to take him, in their pit he was caught.	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 They put him in a cage and took him away to the king of Babylon, So that his voice would not be heard on 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 Your mother was like a vine planted by the water; Fruitful and branchy was she because of the abundant water.	10 Η μητηρ σου, καθ' ομοιωσιν σου, ητο ως αμπελος πεφυτευμενη πλησιον των υδατων? εγεινε καρποφορος και πληρης κλαδων δια τα πολλα υδατα.
11 One strong branch she put out as a royal scepter. Stately was her height amid the dense foliage; Notably tall was she with her many clusters.	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 torn up in fury and flung to the ground; The east wind withered her up, her fruit was torn off; Then her strong branch withered up, fire devoured it.	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 So now she is planted in the desert, in a land dry and parched,	13 Και τωρα ειναι πεφυτευμενη εν ερημω, εν ξηρα και ανυδρω γη.
14 For fire came out of the branch and devoured her shoots; She is now without a strong branch, a ruler's scepter. This is a lamentation and serves as 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.
