VULGATANEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Et tu assume planctum super principes Israël,1 As for you, son of man, raise a lamentation over the prince of Israel:
2 et dices : Quare mater tua leæna inter leones cubavit ?
in medio leunculorum enutrivit catulos suos ?
2 What a lioness was your mother, a lion of lions! Among young lions she couched to rear her whelps.
3 Et eduxit unum de leunculis suis,
et leo factus est :
et didicit capere prædam,
hominemque comedere.
3 One whelp she raised up, a young lion he became; He learned to seize prey, men he devoured.
4 Et audierunt de eo gentes :
et non absque vulneribus suis ceperunt eum,
et adduxerunt eum in catenis in terram Ægypti.
4 Then nations raised cries against him, in their pit he was caught; They took him away with hooks to the land of Egypt.
5 Quæ cum vidisset quoniam infirmata est,
et periit exspectatio ejus,
tulit unum de leunculis suis ;
leonem constituit eum.
5 Then she saw that in vain she had waited, her hope was destroyed. She took another of her whelps, him she made a young lion.
6 Qui incedebat inter leones,
et factus est leo :
et didicit prædam capere,
et homines devorare :
6 He prowled among the lions, a young lion he became; He learned to seize prey, men he devoured;
7 didicit viduas facere,
et civitates earum in desertum adducere :
et desolata est terra et plenitudo ejus a voce rugitus illius.
7 He ravaged their strongholds, their cities he wasted. The land and all in it were appalled at the noise of his roar.
8 Et convenerunt adversus eum gentes undique de provinciis,
et expanderunt super eum rete suum :
in vulneribus earum captus est,
8 Nations laid out against him snares all about him; They spread their net to take him, in their pit he was caught.
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 They put him in a cage and took him away to the king of Babylon, So that his voice would not be heard on 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 Your mother was like a vine planted by the water; Fruitful and branchy was she because of the abundant water.
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 One strong branch she put out as a royal scepter. Stately was her height amid the dense foliage; Notably tall was she with her many clusters.
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 torn up in fury and flung to the ground; The east wind withered her up, her fruit was torn off; Then her strong branch withered up, fire devoured it.
13 Et nunc transplantata est in desertum,
in terra invia et sitienti.
13 So now she is planted in the desert, in a land dry and parched,
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 For fire came out of the branch and devoured her shoots; She is now without a strong branch, a ruler's scepter. This is a lamentation and serves as a lamentation.
