Ezekiel 19

NEW JERUSALEM	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 'Now, raise a lament for the princes of Israel.	1 اما انت فارفع مرثاة على رؤساء اسرائيل
2 Say: What was your mother? A lioness among lions; lying among the cubs she nursed her whelps.	2 وقل. ما هي امك. لبوة ربضت بين الأسود وربّت جراءها بين الاشبال.
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 ربّت واحدا من جرائها فصار شبلا وتعلم افتراس الفريسة. اكل الناس.
4 The nations came to hear of him; he was caught in their pit; they dragged him away with hooks toEgypt.	4 فلما سمعت به الامم أخذ في حفرتهم فأتوا به بخزائم الى ارض مصر.
5 Her expectation thwarted, and seeing her hope dashed, she took another of her whelps and made ayoung lion of him.	5 فلما رأت انها قد انتظرت وهلك رجاؤها اخذت آخر من جرائها وصيرته شبلا.
6 He prowled among the lions, he grew into a young lion, he learnt to tear his prey; he became a man-eater.	6 فتمشى بين الأسود. صار شبلا وتعلم افتراس الفريسة. اكل الناس.
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 وعرف قصورهم وخرب مدنهم فاقفرت الارض وملؤها من صوت زمجرته.
8 The nations marched out against him from the surrounding provinces; they spread their net over him;he was caught in their pit.	8 فاتفق عليه الامم من كل جهة من البلدان وبسطوا عليه شبكتهم فأخذ في حفرتهم
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 فوضعوه في قفص بخزائم واحضروه الى ملك بابل وأتوا به الى القلاع لكيلا يسمع صوته بعد على جبال اسرائيل
10 Your mother was like a vine planted beside the water, fruitful and leafy, because the water flowed soful .	10 امك ككرمة مثلك غرست على المياه. كانت مثمرة مفرخة من كثرة المياه.
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 وكان لها فروع قوية لقضبان المتسلطين وارتفع ساقها بين الاغصان الغبياء وظهرت في ارتفاعها بكثرة زراجينها.
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 لكنها اقتلعت بغيظ وطرحت على الارض وقد يبّست ريح شرقية ثمرها. قصفت ويبست فروعها القوية. اكلتها النار.
13 Now she has been transplanted to the desert, to a dry and thirsty land.	13 والآن غرست في القفر في ارض يابسة عطشانة.
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 وخرجت نار من فرع عصّيها اكلت ثمرها. وليس لها الآن فرع قوي لقضيب تسلّط. هي رثاء وتكون لمرثاة
