Ezekiel 19

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW JERUSALEM
1 »A ti, sine čovječji, protuži tužaljkom za knezovima izraelskim.	1 'Now, raise a lament for the princes of Israel.
2 Reci: Što bijaše tvoja mati? Lavica među lavovima, ležala je među lavićima, hraneći mladunčad svoju.	2 Say: What was your mother? A lioness among lions; lying among the cubs she nursed her whelps.
3 I othrani jedno mlado, koje lavom posta. Naučivši se plijen derati, stade ljude proždirati!	3 She reared one of her whelps: he grew into a young lion; he learnt to tear his prey; he became a man-eater.
4 Narodi se protiv njega udružiše, lav upade u jamu njihovu, na lancu ga odvedoše u zemlju egipatsku.	4 The nations came to hear of him; he was caught in their pit; they dragged him away with hooks toEgypt.
5 A kad mati vidje da uzalud čeka i da joj nada propade, uze drugo mlado i od njega lava učini.	5 Her expectation thwarted, and seeing her hope dashed, she took another of her whelps and made ayoung lion of him.
6 Živeć’ tako među lavovima, i on lavom posta. Naučivši se plijen derati, stade ljude proždirati,	6 He prowled among the lions, he grew into a young lion, he learnt to tear his prey; he became a man-eater.
7 utvrde im rušiti, pustošiti gradove. Uzdrhta zemlja i sve na njoj od silne rike njegove.	7 He tore down their palaces, he destroyed their cities; the land and al its inhabitants were appal ed bythe sound of his roars.
8 Ali se ljudi iz okolnih mjesta protiv njega podigoše i zamke mu postaviše; i lav se uhvati u jamu njihovu.	8 The nations marched out against him from the surrounding provinces; they spread their net over him;he was caught in their pit.
9 Okovana u kavez ga zatvoriše, odvedoše kralju babilonskom, ondje ga u kulu zatočiše, da mu se više ne čuje rika po gorama izraelskim.	9 They shackled him with hooks, they took him to the king of Babylon and threw him into a fortress, sothat his voice could never again be heard on the mountains of Israel.
10 Mati tvoja bješe kao loza pokraj vode zasađena, rodna i granata od obilja vode!	10 Your mother was like a vine planted beside the water, fruitful and leafy, because the water flowed soful .
11 Imala je jaku granu za palicu vladalačku: uzdiže se nad krošnju, naočita visinom, mnoštvom grančica.	11 She had stout stems which became kingly sceptres; she grew higher and higher, up into the clouds;she was admired for her height and the number of her branches.
12 Al’ u gnjevu bješe iščupana i na zemlju bačena. Istočnjak joj rod sasuši: polomi se i uvenu jaka grana njezina i vatra je svu proguta.	12 But she was furiously uprooted and thrown on the ground; the east wind dried up her fruit, she wasbroken to pieces; her stout stem dried up, the fire devoured it.
13 U pustinju bje presađena, u zemlju suhu, bezvodnu.	13 Now she has been transplanted to the desert, to a dry and thirsty land.
14 Al’ liznu oganj iz pruta njezina i spali joj grane i plodove! I nema više na njoj grane jake za palicu vladalačku.« To je, evo tužaljka, i ostat će tužaljka.	14 Fire burst out of her stem devouring her branches and fruit. No more stout stem for her, no morekingly sceptre.' This is a lament; it was used as such.
