Ezekiel 19

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 As for you, son of man, raise a lamentation over the prince of Israel:	1 »A ti, sine čovječji, protuži tužaljkom za knezovima izraelskim.
2 What a lioness was your mother, a lion of lions! Among young lions she couched to rear her whelps.	2 Reci: Što bijaše tvoja mati? Lavica među lavovima, ležala je među lavićima, hraneći mladunčad svoju.
3 One whelp she raised up, a young lion he became; He learned to seize prey, men he devoured.	3 I othrani jedno mlado, koje lavom posta. Naučivši se plijen derati, stade ljude proždirati!
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 Narodi se protiv njega udružiše, lav upade u jamu njihovu, na lancu ga odvedoše u zemlju egipatsku.
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 A kad mati vidje da uzalud čeka i da joj nada propade, uze drugo mlado i od njega lava učini.
6 He prowled among the lions, a young lion he became; He learned to seize prey, men he devoured;	6 Živeć’ tako među lavovima, i on lavom posta. Naučivši se plijen derati, stade ljude proždirati,
7 He ravaged their strongholds, their cities he wasted. The land and all in it were appalled at the noise of his roar.	7 utvrde im rušiti, pustošiti gradove. Uzdrhta zemlja i sve na njoj od silne rike njegove.
8 Nations laid out against him snares all about him; They spread their net to take him, in their pit he was caught.	8 Ali se ljudi iz okolnih mjesta protiv njega podigoše i zamke mu postaviše; i lav se uhvati u jamu njihovu.
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 Okovana u kavez ga zatvoriše, odvedoše kralju babilonskom, ondje ga u kulu zatočiše, da mu se više ne čuje rika po gorama izraelskim.
10 Your mother was like a vine planted by the water; Fruitful and branchy was she because of the abundant water.	10 Mati tvoja bješe kao loza pokraj vode zasađena, rodna i granata od obilja vode!
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 Imala je jaku granu za palicu vladalačku: uzdiže se nad krošnju, naočita visinom, mnoštvom grančica.
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 Al’ u gnjevu bješe iščupana i na zemlju bačena. Istočnjak joj rod sasuši: polomi se i uvenu jaka grana njezina i vatra je svu proguta.
13 So now she is planted in the desert, in a land dry and parched,	13 U pustinju bje presađena, u zemlju suhu, bezvodnu.
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 Al’ liznu oganj iz pruta njezina i spali joj grane i plodove! I nema više na njoj grane jake za palicu vladalačku.« To je, evo tužaljka, i ostat će tužaljka.
