Ezekiel 19

Moreover do thou take up a lamentation for the prince of Israel,

Καὶ σὺ λάβε θρῆνον ἐπὶ τὸν ἄρχοντα τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ,

and say, Why is thy mother become a whelp in the midst of lions? in the midst of lions she has multiplied her whelps.

καὶ ἐρεῖς, τί ἡ μήτηρ σου σκύμνος ἐν μέσῳ λεόντων ἐγενήθη; ἐν μέσῳ λεόντων ἐπλήθυεν σκύμνους αὐτῆς.

And one of her whelps sprang forth; he became a lion, and learned to take prey, he devoured men.

Καὶ ἀπεπήδησεν εἷς τῶν σκύμνων αὐτῆς, λέων ἐγένετο, καὶ ἔμαθε τοῦ ἁρπάζειν ἁρπάγματα, ἀνθρώπους ἔφαγε.

And the nations heard a report of him; he was caught in their pit, and they brought him into the land of Egypt in chains.

Καὶ ἤκουσαν κατʼ αὐτοῦ ἔθνη, ἐν τῇ διαφθορᾷ αὐτῶν συνελήφθη, καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν ἐν κημῷ εἰς γῆν Αἰγύπτου.

And she saw that he was driven away from her, and her hope of him perished, and she took another of her whelps; she made him a lion.

Καὶ εἶδεν ὅτι ἀπῶσται ἀπʼ αὐτῆς, ἀπώλετο ἡ ὑπόστασις αὐτῆς· καὶ ἔλαβεν ἄλλον ἐκ τῶν σκύμνων αὐτῆς· λέοντα ἔταξεν αὐτὸν.

And he went up and down in the midst of lions, he became a lion, and learned to take prey, he devoured men.

Καὶ ἀνεστρέφετο ἐν μέσῳ λεόντων, λέων ἐγένετο, καὶ ἔμαθεν ἁρπάζειν ἁρπάγματα, ἀνθρώπους ἔφαγε,

And he prowled in his boldness and laid waste their cities, and made the land desolate, and the fulness of it, by the voice of his roaring.

καὶ ἐνέμετο τῷ θράσει αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν ἐξηρήμωσε, καὶ ἠφάνισε γῆν, καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς ἀπὸ φωνῆς ὠρυώματος αὐτοῦ.

Then the nations set upon him from the countries round about, and they spread their nets upon him: he was taken in their pit.

Καὶ ἔδωκαν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ἔθνη ἐκ χωρῶν κυκλόθεν, καὶ ἐξεπέτασαν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν δίκτυα αὐτῶν, ἐν διαφθορᾷ αὐτῶν συνελήφθη·

And they put him in chains and in a cage, and he came to the king of Babylon; and he cast him into prison, that his voice should not be heard on the mountains of Israel.

Καὶ ἔθεντο αὐτὸν ἐν κημῷ καὶ ἐν γαλεάγρᾳ, ἦλθε πρὸς βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς φυλακὴν, ὅπως μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἡ φωνὴ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.

Thy mother was as a vine and as a blossom on a pomegranate tree, planted by water: her fruit and her shoots abounded by reason of much water.

Ἡ μήτηρ σου ὡς ἄμπελος καὶ ὡς ἄνθος ἐν ῥοᾷ, ἐν ὕδατι πεφυτευμένη, ὁ καρπὸς αὐτῆς καὶ ὁ βλαστὸς αὐτῆς ἐγένετο ἐξ ὕδατος πολλοῦ.

And she became a rod for a tribe of princes, and was elevated in her bulk in the midst of other trees, and she saw her bulk in the multitude of her branches.

Καὶ ἐγένετο αὕτη ῥάβδος ἐπὶ φυλὴν ἡγουμένων, καὶ ὑψώθη τῷ μεγέθει αὐτῆς ἐν μέσῳ στελεχῶν· καὶ εἶδε τὸ μέγεθος αὐτῆς ἐν πλήθει κλημάτων αὐτῆς.

But she was broken down in wrath, she was cast upon the ground, and the east wind dried up her choice branches: vengeance came upon them, and the rod of her strength was withered; fire consumed it.

Καὶ κατεκλάσθη ἐν θυμῷ, ἐπὶ γῆν ἐῤῥίφη, καὶ ἄνεμος ὁ καύσων ἐξήρανε τὰ ἐκλεκτὰ αὐτῆς· ἐξεδικήθησαν, καὶ ἐξηράνθη ἡ ῥάβδος ἰσχύος αὐτῆς· πῦρ ἀνήλωσεν αὐτήν.

And now they have planted her in the wilderness, in a dry land.

Καὶ νῦν πεφύτευκαν αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ ἠρημῳ, ἐν γῇ ἀνύδρῳ.

And fire is gone out of a rod of her choice boughs, and has devoured her; and there was no rod of strength in her. Her race is become a parable of lamentation, and it shall be for a lamentation.

Καὶ ἐξῆλθε πῦρ ἐκ ῥάβδου ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτῆς, καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτὴν, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἐν αὐτῇ ῥάβδος ἰσχύος· φυλὴ εἰς παραβολὴν θρήνου ἐστὶ, καὶ ἐσται εἰς θρῆνον.
