Ezequiel 19

BIBLIA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Y tú entona una elegía sobre los príncipes de Israel.	1 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
2 Dirás: ¿Qué era tu madre? Una leona entre leones. Echada entre los leoncillos, criaba a sus cachorros.	2 And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.
3 Exaltó a uno de sus cachorros, que se hizo un león joven; y aprendió a desgarrar su presa, devoró hombres.	3 And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
4 Oyeron hablar de él las naciones, en su fosa quedó preso; con garfios le llevaron al país de Egipto.	4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
5 Vio ella que su espera era fallida, fallida su esperanza; y tomo otro de sus cachorros, le hizo un león joven.	5 Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.
6 Andaba éste entre los leones, se hizo un león joven, aprendió a desgarrar su presa, devoró hombres;	6 And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.
7 derribó sus palacios, devastó sus ciudades; la tierra y sus habitantes estaban aterrados por la voz de su rugido.	7 And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise of his roaring.
8 Se alzaron contra él las naciones, las provincias circundantes; tendieron sobre él su red y en su fosa quedó preso.	8 Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.
9 Con garfios le cerraron en jaula, le llevaron al rey de Babilonia en calabozos le metieron, para que no se oyese más su voz por los montes de Israel.	9 And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
10 Tu madre se parecía a una vid plantada a orillas de las aguas. Era fecunda, exuberante, por la abundancia de agua.	10 Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
11 Tenía ramas fuertes para ser cetros reales; su talla se elevó hasta dentro de las nubes. Era imponente por su altura, por su abundancia de ramaje.	11 And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.
12 Pero ha sido arrancada con furor, tirada por tierra; el viento del este ha agostado su fruto; ha sido rota, su rama fuerte se ha secado, la ha devorado el fuego.	12 But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.
13 Y ahora está plantada en el desierto, en tierra de sequía y de sed.	13 And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
14 Ha salido fuego de su rama, ha devorado sus sarmientos y su fruto. No volverá a tener su rama fuerte, su cetro real. Esto es una elegía; y de elegía sirvió.	14 And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
