Ezekiel 19

Και συ αναλαβε θρηνον δια τους ηγεμονας του Ισραηλ,
Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
και ειπε, Τι ειναι η μητηρ σου; Λεαινα κειται μεταξυ λεοντων, εθρεψε τα βρεφη αυτης εν μεσω σκυμνων.
And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.
Και ανεθρεψεν εν εκ των βρεφων αυτης και εγεινε σκυμνος και εμαθε να αρπαζη το θηραμα ανθρωπους ετρωγε.
And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
Και τα εθνη ηκουσαν περι αυτου επιασθη εν τω λακκω αυτων, και εφεραν αυτον με αλυσεις εις την γην της Αιγυπτου.
The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
Και ιδουσα οτι η ελπις αυτης εματαιωθη και εχαθη, ελαβεν εν αλλο εκ των βρεφων αυτης και εκαμεν αυτο σκυμνον.
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.
Και αναστρεφομενον εν μεσω των λεοντων εγεινε σκυμνος και εμαθε να αρπαζη θηραμα ανθρωπους ετρωγε.
And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.
Και εγνωρισε τα παλατια αυτων και ερημονε τας πολεις αυτων και ητο ηφανισμενη η γη και το πληρωμα αυτης απο του ηχου του βρυχηματος αυτου.
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.
Και τα εθνη παρεταχθησαν εναντιον αυτου κυκλοθεν εκ των επαρχιων και ηπλωσαν κατ αυτου τα βροχια αυτων, και επιασθη εν τω λακκω αυτων.
Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.
Και εβαλον αυτον με αλυσεις εις κλωβιον και εφεραν αυτον προς τον βασιλεα της Βαβυλωνος εν δεσμωτηριω εισηγαγον αυτον, δια να μη ακουσθη πλεον φωνη αυτου επι τα ορη του Ισραηλ.
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.
Η μητηρ σου, καθ ομοιωσιν σου, ητο ως αμπελος πεφυτευμενη πλησιον των υδατων εγεινε καρποφορος και πληρης κλαδων δια τα πολλα υδατα.
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.
Και εγειναν εις αυτην αβδοι ισχυραι δια σκηπτρα των κρατουντων και ο κορμος αυτης υψωθη εν μεσω των πυκνων κλαδων, και εγεινε περιβλεπτος κατα το υψος αυτης μεταξυ του πληθους των βλαστων αυτης.
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.
Απεσπασθη ομως μετα θυμου, ερριφθη κατα γης, και ανατολικος ανεμος κατεξηρανε τον καρπον αυτης αι ισχυραι αυτης αβδοι συνεθλασθησαν και εξηρανθησαν πυρ κατεφαγεν αυτας.
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.
Και τωρα ειναι πεφυτευμενη εν ερημω, εν ξηρα και ανυδρω γη.
And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
Και εξηλθε πυρ απο αβδου τινος εκ των κλαδων αυτης και κατεφαγε τον καρπον αυτης, ωστε δεν υπηρχε πλεον εν αυτη αβδος ισχυρα δια σκηπτρον ηγεμονιας ουτος ειναι ο θρηνος και θελει εισθαι εις θρηνον.
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.
