Ezekiel 19

1 Thou also, take vp a lamentation for the princes of Israel,

et tu adsume planctum super principes Israhel

2 And say, Wherefore lay thy mother as a lyonesse among the lyons? she nourished her yong ones among the lyons whelps,

et dices quare mater tua leaena inter leones cubavit in medio leunculorum enutrivit catulos suos

3 And she brought vp one of her whelps, and it became a lyon, and it learned to catch the praye, and it deuoured men.

et eduxit unum de leunculis suis leo factus est et didicit capere praedam hominemque comedere

4 The nations also heard of him, and he was taken in their nets, and they brought him in chaines vnto the land of Egypt.

et audierunt de eo gentes et non absque vulneribus suis ceperunt eum et adduxerunt eum in catenis in terram Aegypti

5 Nowe when she sawe, that she had waited and her hope was lost, she tooke another of her whelps, and made him a lyon.

quae cum vidisset quoniam infirmata est et periit expectatio eius tulit unum de leunculis suis leonem constituit eum

6 Which went among the lyons, and became a lyon, and learned to catch the praye, and he deuoured men.

qui incedebat inter leones et factus est leo didicit praedam capere et homines devorare

7 And he knew their widowes, and he destroyed their cities, and the land was wasted, and all that was therein by the noyse of his roaring.

didicit viduas facere et civitates eorum in desertum adducere et desolata est terra et plenitudo eius a voce rugitus illius

8 Then the nations set against him on euery side of the countreys, and laide their nets for him: so he was taken in their pit.

et convenerunt adversum eum gentes undique de provinciis et expanderunt super eum rete suum in vulneribus earum captus est

9 And they put him in prison and in chaines, and brought him to the King of Babel, and they put him in holdes, that his voyce should no more be heard vpon the mountaines of Israel.

et miserunt eum in caveam in catenis adduxerunt eum ad regem Babylonis miseruntque eum in carcerem ne audiretur vox eius ultra super montes Israhel

10 Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she brought foorth fruite and branches by the abundant waters,

mater tua quasi vinea in sanguine tuo super aquam plantata fructus eius et frondes eius creverunt ex aquis multis

11 And she had strong rods for the scepters of them that beare rule, and her stature was exalted among the branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.

et factae sunt ei virgae solidae in sceptra dominantium et exaltata est statura eius inter frondes et vidit altitudinem suam in multitudine palmitum suorum

12 But she was plucked vp in wrath: she was cast downe to the ground, and the East winde dried vp her fruite: her branches were broken, and withered: as for the rod of her strength, the fire consumed it.

et evulsa est in ira in terramque proiecta et ventus urens siccavit fructum eius marcuerunt et arefactae sunt virgae roboris eius ignis comedit eam

13 And now she is planted in the wildernes in a drie and thirstie ground.

et nunc transplantata est in desertum in terra invia et sitienti

14 And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath deuoured her fruite, so that she hath no strong rod to be a scepter to rule: this is a lamentation and shalbe for a lamentation.

et egressus est ignis de virga ramorum eius qui fructum eius comedit et non fuit in ea virga fortis sceptrum dominantium planctus est et erit in planctum
