Ezekiel 19

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 'Now, raise a lament for the princes of Israel.	1 Και συ αναλαβε θρηνον δια τους ηγεμονας του Ισραηλ,
2 Say: What was your mother? A lioness among lions; lying among the cubs she nursed her whelps.	2 και ειπε, Τι ειναι η μητηρ σου; Λεαινα? κειται μεταξυ λεοντων, εθρεψε τα βρεφη αυτης εν μεσω σκυμνων.
3 She reared one of her whelps: he grew into a young lion; he learnt to tear his prey; he became a man-eater.	3 Και ανεθρεψεν εν εκ των βρεφων αυτης και εγεινε σκυμνος και εμαθε να αρπαζη το θηραμα? ανθρωπους ετρωγε.
4 The nations came to hear of him; he was caught in their pit; they dragged him away with hooks toEgypt.	4 Και τα εθνη ηκουσαν περι αυτου? επιασθη εν τω λακκω αυτων, και εφεραν αυτον με αλυσεις εις την γην της Αιγυπτου.
5 Her expectation thwarted, and seeing her hope dashed, she took another of her whelps and made ayoung lion of him.	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, he grew into a young lion, he learnt to tear his prey; he became a man-eater.	6 Και αναστρεφομενον εν μεσω των λεοντων εγεινε σκυμνος και εμαθε να αρπαζη θηραμα? ανθρωπους ετρωγε.
7 He tore down their palaces, he destroyed their cities; the land and al its inhabitants were appal ed bythe sound of his roars.	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 The nations marched out against him from the surrounding provinces; they spread their net over him;he was caught in their pit.	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 shackled him with hooks, they took him to the king of Babylon and threw him into a fortress, sothat his voice could never again 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 beside the water, fruitful and leafy, because the water flowed soful .	10 Η μητηρ σου, καθ' ομοιωσιν σου, ητο ως αμπελος πεφυτευμενη πλησιον των υδατων? εγεινε καρποφορος και πληρης κλαδων δια τα πολλα υδατα.
11 She had stout stems which became kingly sceptres; she grew higher and higher, up into the clouds;she was admired for her height and the number 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 furiously uprooted and thrown on the ground; the east wind dried up her fruit, she wasbroken to pieces; her stout stem dried up, the 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 Now she has been transplanted to the desert, to a dry and thirsty land.	13 Και τωρα ειναι πεφυτευμενη εν ερημω, εν ξηρα και ανυδρω γη.
14 Fire burst out of her stem devouring her branches and fruit. No more stout stem for her, no morekingly sceptre.' This is a lament; it was used as such.	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.
