SMITH VAN DYKEDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 اما انت فارفع مرثاة على رؤساء اسرائيل1 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
2 وقل. ما هي امك. لبوة ربضت بين الأسود وربّت جراءها بين الاشبال.2 And say: Why did thy mother the lioness lie down among the lions, and bring up her whelps in the midst of young lions?
3 ربّت واحدا من جرائها فصار شبلا وتعلم افتراس الفريسة. اكل الناس.3 And she brought out one of her whelps, and he became a lion: and he learned to catch the prey, and to devour men.
4 فلما سمعت به الامم أخذ في حفرتهم فأتوا به بخزائم الى ارض مصر.4 And the nations heard of him, and took him, but not without receiving wounds: and they brought him in chains into the land of Egypt.
5 فلما رأت انها قد انتظرت وهلك رجاؤها اخذت آخر من جرائها وصيرته شبلا.5 But she seeing herself weakened, and that her hope was lost, took one of her young lions, and set him up for a lion.
6 فتمشى بين الأسود. صار شبلا وتعلم افتراس الفريسة. اكل الناس.6 And he went up and down among the lions, and became a lion: and he learned to catch the prey, and to devour men.
7 وعرف قصورهم وخرب مدنهم فاقفرت الارض وملؤها من صوت زمجرته.7 He learned to make widows, and to lay waste their cities: and the land became desolate, and the fulness thereof by the noise of his roaring.
8 فاتفق عليه الامم من كل جهة من البلدان وبسطوا عليه شبكتهم فأخذ في حفرتهم8 And the nations Game together against him on every side out of the provinces, and they spread their net over him, in their wounds he was taken.
9 فوضعوه في قفص بخزائم واحضروه الى ملك بابل وأتوا به الى القلاع لكيلا يسمع صوته بعد على جبال اسرائيل9 And they put him into a cage, they brought him in chains to the king of Babylon: and they cast him into prison, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
10 امك ككرمة مثلك غرست على المياه. كانت مثمرة مفرخة من كثرة المياه.10 Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood planted by the water: her fruit and her branches have grown out of many waters.
11 وكان لها فروع قوية لقضبان المتسلطين وارتفع ساقها بين الاغصان الغبياء وظهرت في ارتفاعها بكثرة زراجينها.11 And she hath strong rods to make sceptres for them that bear rule, and her stature was exalted among the branches: and she saw her height in the multitude of her branches.
12 لكنها اقتلعت بغيظ وطرحت على الارض وقد يبّست ريح شرقية ثمرها. قصفت ويبست فروعها القوية. اكلتها النار.12 But she was plucked up in wrath, and cast on the ground, and the burning wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods are withered, and dried up: the fire hath devoured her.
13 والآن غرست في القفر في ارض يابسة عطشانة.13 And now she is transplanted into the desert, in a land not passable, and dry.
14 وخرجت نار من فرع عصّيها اكلت ثمرها. وليس لها الآن فرع قوي لقضيب تسلّط. هي رثاء وتكون لمرثاة14 And a fire is gone out from a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit: so that she now hath no strong rod, to be a sceptre of rulers. This is a lamentation, and it shall be for a lamentation.
