Ezechielis 19

VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Et tu assume planctum super principes Israël,	1 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
2 et dices : Quare mater tua leæna inter leones cubavit ? in medio leunculorum enutrivit catulos suos ?	2 And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.
3 Et eduxit unum de leunculis suis, et leo factus est : et didicit capere prædam, hominemque comedere.	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 Et audierunt de eo gentes : et non absque vulneribus suis ceperunt eum, et adduxerunt eum in catenis in terram Ægypti.	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 Quæ cum vidisset quoniam infirmata est, et periit exspectatio ejus, tulit unum de leunculis suis ; leonem constituit eum.	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 Qui incedebat inter leones, et factus est leo : et didicit prædam capere, et homines devorare :	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 didicit viduas facere, et civitates earum in desertum adducere : et desolata est terra et plenitudo ejus a voce rugitus illius.	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 Et convenerunt adversus eum gentes undique de provinciis, et expanderunt super eum rete suum : in vulneribus earum captus est,	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 et miserunt eum in caveam : in catenis adduxerunt eum ad regem Babylonis, miseruntque eum in carcerem, ne audiretur vox ejus ultra super montes Israël.	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 Mater tua quasi vinea in sanguine tuo super aquam plantata est : fructus ejus et frondes ejus creverunt ex aquis multis.	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 Et factæ sunt ei virgæ solidæ in sceptra dominantium, et exaltata est statura ejus inter frondes, et vidit altitudinem suam in multitudine palmitum suorum.	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 Et evulsa est in ira, in terramque projecta, et ventus urens siccavit fructum ejus : marcuerunt et arefactæ sunt virgæ roboris ejus : ignis comedit eam.	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 Et nunc transplantata est in desertum, in terra invia et sitienti.	13 And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
14 Et egressus est ignis de virga ramorum ejus, qui fructum ejus comedit : et non fuit in ea virga fortis, sceptrum dominantium. Planctus est, et erit in planctum.	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.
