Ezekiel 19

Ary manaova hira fahalahelovana ny amin'ireo andrianan'ny Isiraely ianao,
Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
ka ataovy hoe: Nahoana ny liom-bavy reninareo no namitsaka tao amin'ny liom-bavy. Ary nitaiza ny zanany tao amin'ny liona tanora?
And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.
Ary nahalehibe ny zanany anankiray izy, dia tonga liona tanora io ka nianatra hamiravira haza sady nihinana olona.
And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
Nahare ny lazany ny firenena, dia namandrika azy tamin'ny lavaka, ka nasiany masom-by ny orony, dia nentiny ho any amin'ny tany Egypta izy.
The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
Ary nony hitan'ny liom-bavy fa foana sy levona ny fanantenany, dia nangalany indray ny zanany ka notezainy ho tonga liona tanora.
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.
Ary nivoivoy teny amin'ny liom-bavy iny, dia tonga liona tanora ka nianatra hamiravira haza sady nihinana olona.
And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.
Ary nisavika ny mpitondratenan'ireny izy sady nandrava ny tanànany, ka lao ny tany mbamin'izay rehetra tao aminy. Noho ny feon'ny fierony.
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.
Ary ny jentilisa manodidina, izay avy any amin'ny fanjakana samy hafa, dia nanamboatra sy namelatra ny fandrika haratony taminy, ka dia voafandrika tamin'ny lavaka izy.
Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.
Ary nataony tamin'ny vata izy, sady nasiany masom-by ny orony, ka nentiny ho any amin'ny mpanjakan'i Babylona izy, nentiny ho ao amin'ny fiarovana izy, mba tsy ho re eny amin'ny tendrombohitry ny Isiraely intsony ny feony.
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.
Ny reninao dia tahaka ny voalobota voavoly teo amoron-drano Tamin'ny andro niadananao: Vokatra sady nanaroka izy azon'ny rano be,
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.
Ka nisy rantsany mafy azo natao tehim-panjakana ho an'izay manapaka, dia tonga avo izy ka nitehika tamin'ny rahona matevina, ary niseho tamin'ny hahavony izy noho ny hamaroan'ny rantsany.
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.
Nefa nongotana tamin'ny fahavinirana izy ka nazera ho amin'ny tany, ary ny rivotra avy any atsinanana no nahamaina ny voany; Ny rantsany mafy dia tapaka ka maina; Levon'ny afo ireny.
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.
Ary ankehitriny voavoly any an-efitra, dia ao amin'ny tany maina karankaina izy.
And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
Ary afo no mivoaka avy amin'ny sampany misy tehina ka mandevona ny voany, dia tsy misy rantsany mafy azo atao tehim-panjakana ho fanapahana intsony izy. Hira fahalahelovana izany sady mbola ho hira fahalahelovana ihany.
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.
