Ezekiel 19
Ang Biblia (1978)
Ang hari ng Israel ay tulad sa nakukulong na leon.
19 Bukod dito'y (A)magbadya ka ng isang taghoy na ukol sa mga prinsipe sa Israel.
2 At iyong sabihin, naging ano baga ang iyong ina? Isang leona: siya'y humiga sa gitna ng mga leon, sa gitna ng mga batang leon, pinakain niya ang kaniyang mga anak.
3 At pinalaki niya ang isa sa kaniyang mga anak: yao'y (B)naging isang batang leon, at yao'y natuto na manghuli at lumamon ng mga tao.
4 Narinig naman yaon ng mga bansa; yao'y nahuli sa kanilang hukay; at dinala nila yaon na natatanikalaan sa lupain (C)ng Egipto.
5 Nang makita nga niya na siya'y naghintay, at ang kaniyang pagasa ay nawala, (D)kumuha nga siya ng iba sa kaniyang mga anak, at ginawang batang leon.
6 At yao'y nagpanhik manaog (E)sa gitna ng mga leon, yao'y naging batang leon; at yao'y natuto na manghuli, at lumamon ng mga tao.
7 At naalaman niya ang kanilang mga palacio, at sinira ang kanilang mga bayan; at ang lupain ay nagiba, at ang lahat na nangandoon, dahil sa hugong ng kaniyang angal.
8 Nang magkagayo'y (F)nagsilagay ang mga bansa laban sa kaniya sa bawa't dako na mula sa mga lalawigan; at ipinaglagay nila siya ng panilo; nahuli siya sa kanilang hukay.
9 At (G)may tanikalang inilagay siya nila sa isang kulungan, at dinala nila siya sa hari sa Babilonia; ipinasok nila siya sa katibayan, upang ang kaniyang tinig ay huwag nang marinig sa mga bundok ng Israel.
10 Ang inyong ina ay parang (H)puno ng ubas sa iyong dugo, na natanim sa tabi ng tubig: siya'y mabunga at puno ng mga sanga, dahil sa maraming tubig.
11 At siya'y nagkaroon ng mga matibay na tutungkurin na magagawang mga cetro nila na nagpupuno, at ang kanilang taas ay (I)nataas sa mga masinsing sanga, at nangakita sa kanilang taas dahil sa karamihan ng kanilang mga sanga.
12 Nguni't siya'y nabunot sa pag-aalab ng loob, siya'y nahagis sa lupa, at tinuyo ng (J)hanging silanganan ang bunga niya: ang kaniyang mga matibay na tutungkurin ay nangabali at nagsidupok; pinagsupok sa apoy.
13 At ngayo'y natanim siya (K)sa ilang, sa isang tuyo at uhaw na lupain.
14 At lumabas ang apoy sa mga tutungkurin ng kaniyang mga sanga, sinupok ang kaniyang bunga, na anopa't nawalan ng matibay na tutungkurin na magiging cetro upang ipagpuno. (L)Ito ay panaghoy, at magiging pinakapanaghoy.
Ezekiel 19
1599 Geneva Bible
19 1 The captivity of the kings of Judah signified by the lion’s whelps and by the lion. 10 The prosperity of the city of Jerusalem that is past, and the misery thereof that is present.
1 Thou also take up a lamentation for the [a]princes of Israel,
2 And say, Wherefore lay thy [b]mother as a lioness among the lions? she nourished her young ones among the lion’s whelps,
3 And she brought up one of her whelps, and it became a lion, and it learned to catch the prey, and it devoured men.
4 The [c]nations also heard of him, and he was taken in their nets, and they brought him in chains unto the land of Egypt.
5 Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, she took another of her [d]whelps, and made him a lion.
6 Which went among the lions, and became a lion, and learned to catch the prey, and he devoured [e]men.
7 And he knew their widows, and he destroyed their cities, and the land was wasted, and all that was therein by the noise of his roaring.
8 Then the [f]nations set against him on every side of the countries, and laid their nets for him: so he was taken in their pit.
9 And they put him in prison and in chains, and brought him to the king of Babel, and they put him in holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
10 Thy [g]mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she brought forth fruit and branches by the abundant waters,
11 And she had strong rods for the scepters of them that bear rule, and her stature was exalted among the branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.
12 But she was plucked up in wrath: she was cast down to the ground, and the [h]East wind dried up her fruit: her branches were broken and withered: as for the rod of her strength, the fire consumed it.
13 And now she is planted in the wilderness in a dry and thirsty ground.
14 And fire is gone out [i]of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a scepter to rule: this is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
