Ezekiel 19

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 “And as for you, take up a lament over the leaders of Israel,	1 Και συ αναλαβε θρηνον δια τους ηγεμονας του Ισραηλ,
2 and you shall say: Why did your mother, the lioness, recline among the male lions, and raise her little ones in the midst of young lions?	2 και ειπε, Τι ειναι η μητηρ σου; Λεαινα? κειται μεταξυ λεοντων, εθρεψε τα βρεφη αυτης εν μεσω σκυμνων.
3 And she led away one of her little ones, and he became a lion. And he learned to seize prey and to consume men.	3 Και ανεθρεψεν εν εκ των βρεφων αυτης και εγεινε σκυμνος και εμαθε να αρπαζη το θηραμα? ανθρωπους ετρωγε.
4 And the Gentiles heard about him, and they seized him, but not without receiving wounds. And they led him away in chains 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, when she had seen that she was weakened, and that her hope had perished, she took one of her little ones, and appointed him as a lion.	5 Και ιδουσα οτι η ελπις αυτης εματαιωθη και εχαθη, ελαβεν εν αλλο εκ των βρεφων αυτης και εκαμεν αυτο σκυμνον.
6 And he advanced among the lions, and he became a lion. And he learned to seize prey and to devour men.	6 Και αναστρεφομενον εν μεσω των λεοντων εγεινε σκυμνος και εμαθε να αρπαζη θηραμα? ανθρωπους ετρωγε.
7 He learned to make widows, and to lead their citizens into the desert. And the land, with its plenitude, was made desolate by the voice of his roaring.	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 And the Gentiles came together against him, on every side, from the provinces, and they spread their net over him; by their wounds, he was captured.	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 And they put him into a cage; they led him in chains to the king of Babylon. And they cast him into a prison, so that his voice would no longer be heard upon 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 is like a vine, in your blood, planted by the water; her fruit and her branches have increased because of many waters.	10 Η μητηρ σου, καθ' ομοιωσιν σου, ητο ως αμπελος πεφυτευμενη πλησιον των υδατων? εγεινε καρποφορος και πληρης κλαδων δια τα πολλα υδατα.
11 And her strong branches were made into scepters for the rulers, and her stature was exalted among the branches. And she saw her own loftiness among the multitude 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 uprooted in wrath, and cast upon the ground. And the burning wind dried up her fruit. Her robust branches withered and were dried up. A fire consumed her.	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 And now she has been transplanted into the desert, into a land impassable and dry.	13 Και τωρα ειναι πεφυτευμενη εν ερημω, εν ξηρα και ανυδρω γη.
14 And a fire has gone forth from a rod of her branches, which has consumed her fruit. And there is no strong branch in her to become a scepter for the rulers. This is a lamentation, and it shall be 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.
