Tamil Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
19 தேவன் என்னிடம் கூறினார்: “இஸ்ரவேல் தலைவர்களைப்பற்றிய இந்த சோகப் பாடலை நீ பாடவேண்டும்.
2 “‘உன்னுடைய தாய், அங்கு
ஆண் சிங்கங்களுடன் படுத்திருக்கும் பெண் சிங்கத்தைப் போலிருக்கிறாள்.
அவள், இளம் ஆண் சிங்கங்களுடன் படுக்கச் சென்றாள்.
பல குட்டிகளை பெற்றெடுத்தாள்.
3 தனது குட்டிகளில் ஒன்று எழும்புகிறது.
அது பலமான இளஞ்சிங்கமாக வளர்ந்திருக்கிறது.
அது தனது உணவைப் பிடிக்கக் கற்றிருக்கிறது.
அது மனிதனைக் கொன்று தின்றது.
4 “‘அது கெர்ச்சிப்பதை ஜனங்கள் கேட்டனர்.
அவர்கள் அதனை வலையில் பிடித்தனர்!
அதன் வாயில் கொக்கிகளைப் போட்டனர்:
அதனை எகிப்துக்குக் கொண்டு போனார்கள்.
5 “‘அக்குட்டி தலைவனாகும் என்று தாய்ச்சிங்கம் நம்பிக்கை வைத்திருந்தது.
ஆனால் இப்போது அது நம்பிக்கையிழந்துவிட்டது.
எனவே அது தனது அடுத்த குட்டியை எடுத்தது.
சிங்கமாவதற்குரிய பயிற்சியைக் கொடுத்தது.
6 அது பெரிய சிங்கத்தோடு வேட்டைக்குப் போனது.
அது பலமான இளம் சிங்கமாயிற்று.
அது தனது உணவைப் பிடிக்கக் கற்றது.
அது மனிதனைக் கொன்று தின்றது.
7 அது அரண்மனைகளைத் தாக்கியது.
அது நகரங்களை அழித்தது.
அந்நாட்டிலுள்ள ஒவ்வொருவரும் அதன் கெர்ச்சினையைக் கேட்டு பேசப் பயந்தனர்.
8 பிறகு அதனைச் சுற்றி வாழ்ந்த ஜனங்கள் அதற்கு ஒரு வலை அமைத்தனர்.
அவர்கள் அதனைத் தம் வலையில் பிடித்தனர்.
9 அவர்கள் கொக்கிகளைப் போட்டு அதனைப் பூட்டினார்கள்.
அவர்கள் அதனை வலைக்குள் வைத்தனர்.
எனவே அவர்கள் பாபிலோன் அரசனிடம் கொண்டு போனார்கள்.
இப்பொழுது அதன் கர்ச்சனையை
இஸ்ரவேல் மலைப் பகுதிகளில் நீங்கள் கேட்க முடியாது,
10 “‘உனது தாய் தண்ணீர் கரையில் நடப்பட்ட
திராட்சைக் கொடியைப் போன்றவள்.
அவளுக்கு மிகுதியான தண்ணீர் இருந்தது.
எனவே அவள் தழைத்த திராட்சைக் கொடியாயிருந்தாள்.
11 பிறகு அவள் நிறைய கிளைகளோடு வளர்ந்தாள்.
அந்தக் கிளைகள் கைத்தடிகளைப் போன்றிருந்தன.
அக்கிளைகள் அரசனின் செங்கோலைப் போன்றிருந்தன.
அத்திராட்சைக் கொடி மேலும் மேலும் உயரமாக வளர்ந்தது,
அது பல கிளைகளைப் பெற்று மேகங்களைத் தொட்டன.
12 ஆனால் அக்கொடி வேரோடு பிடுங்கப்பட்டு
தரையில் வீசியெறியப்பட்டது.
சூடான கிழக்குக் காற்று வந்து பழங்களை காய வைத்தது.
பலமான கிளைகள் ஒடிந்தன. அவை நெருப்பில் எறியப்பட்டன.
13 “‘இப்போது திராட்சைக் கொடி வனாந்தரத்தில் நடப்படுகிறது.
இது வறண்ட தாகமுள்ள நிலம்.
14 பெரிய கிளையிலிருந்து நெருப்பு பரவியது.
அந்நெருப்பு அதன் கிளைகளையும் பழங்களையும் எரித்தது.
எனவே இனிமேல் அதில் கைத்தடி இல்லை.
அரசனின் செங்கோலும் இல்லை.’
இது மரணத்தைப்பற்றிய சோகப் பாடல். இது மரணத்தைப்பற்றிய துன்பப் பாடலாகப் பாடப்பட்டது.”
Ezekiel 19
King James Version
19 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
2 And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.
3 And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
5 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.
6 And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.
7 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.
8 Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.
9 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.
10 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.
11 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.
12 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.
13 And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
14 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.
Ezekiel 19
New International Version
A Lament Over Israel’s Princes
19 “Take up a lament(A) concerning the princes(B) of Israel 2 and say:
“‘What a lioness(C) was your mother
among the lions!
She lay down among them
and reared her cubs.(D)
3 She brought up one of her cubs,
and he became a strong lion.
He learned to tear the prey
and he became a man-eater.
4 The nations heard about him,
and he was trapped in their pit.
They led him with hooks(E)
to the land of Egypt.(F)
5 “‘When she saw her hope unfulfilled,
her expectation gone,
she took another of her cubs(G)
and made him a strong lion.(H)
6 He prowled among the lions,
for he was now a strong lion.
He learned to tear the prey
and he became a man-eater.(I)
7 He broke down[a] their strongholds
and devastated(J) their towns.
The land and all who were in it
were terrified by his roaring.
8 Then the nations(K) came against him,
those from regions round about.
They spread their net(L) for him,
and he was trapped in their pit.(M)
9 With hooks(N) they pulled him into a cage
and brought him to the king of Babylon.(O)
They put him in prison,
so his roar(P) was heard no longer
on the mountains of Israel.(Q)
10 “‘Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard[b](R)
planted by the water;(S)
it was fruitful and full of branches
because of abundant water.(T)
11 Its branches were strong,
fit for a ruler’s scepter.
It towered high
above the thick foliage,
conspicuous for its height
and for its many branches.(U)
12 But it was uprooted(V) in fury
and thrown to the ground.
The east wind(W) made it shrivel,
it was stripped of its fruit;
its strong branches withered
and fire consumed them.(X)
13 Now it is planted in the desert,(Y)
in a dry and thirsty land.(Z)
14 Fire spread from one of its main[c] branches
and consumed(AA) its fruit.
No strong branch is left on it
fit for a ruler’s scepter.’(AB)
“This is a lament(AC) and is to be used as a lament.”

Israel Degraded
19 “Moreover (A)take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, 2 and say:
‘What is your mother? A lioness:
She lay down among the lions;
Among the young lions she nourished her cubs.
3 She brought up one of her cubs,
And (B)he became a young lion;
He learned to catch prey,
And he devoured men.
4 The nations also heard of him;
He was trapped in their pit,
And they brought him with chains to the land of (C)Egypt.
5 ‘When she saw that she waited, that her hope was lost,
She took (D)another of her cubs and made him a young lion.
6 (E)He roved among the lions,
And (F)became a young lion;
He learned to catch prey;
He devoured men.
7 [a]He knew their desolate places,
And laid waste their cities;
The land with its fullness was desolated
By the noise of his roaring.
8 (G)Then the nations set against him from the provinces on every side,
And spread their net over him;
(H)He was trapped in their pit.
9 (I)They put him in a cage with [b]chains,
And brought him to the king of Babylon;
They brought him in nets,
That his voice should no longer be heard on (J)the mountains of Israel.
10 ‘Your mother was (K)like a vine in your [c]bloodline,
Planted by the waters,
(L)Fruitful and full of branches
Because of many waters.
11 She had strong branches for scepters of rulers.
(M)She towered in stature above the thick branches,
And was seen in her height amid the [d]dense foliage.
12 But she was (N)plucked up in fury,
She was cast down to the ground,
And the (O)east wind dried her fruit.
Her strong branches were broken and withered;
The fire consumed them.
13 And now she is planted in the wilderness,
In a dry and thirsty land.
14 (P)Fire has come out from a rod of her branches
And devoured her fruit,
So that she has no strong branch—a scepter for ruling.’ ”
(Q)This is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.
