¹Moreover, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,

¹Apraudok Izraelio kunigaikščius,

²and say, What was your mother? A lioness: she couched among lions, in the midst of the young lions she nourished her cubs.

²sakydamas: “Tavo motina buvo liūtė, gulinti tarp liūtų! Ji tarp liūtų užaugino savo jauniklius.

³She brought up one of her cubs: he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.

³Vienas jos jauniklis išaugo jaunu liūtu, kuris, išmokęs sugauti grobį, ėmė ryti žmones.

⁴The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit; and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt.

⁴Tautos, išgirdusios apie jo darbus, pagavo jį ir sukaustytą grandinėmis išvedė į Egiptą.

⁵Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her cubs, and made him a young lion.

⁵Liūtė, pamačiusi, kad jos viltys žlugo, antrą savo jauniklį užaugino jaunu liūtu.

⁶He went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.

⁶Jis, vaikščiodamas tarp liūtų, išmoko sugauti grobį ir ėmė ryti žmones.

⁷He knew their palaces, and laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and its fullness, because of the noise of his roaring.

⁷Jis griovė tvirtoves ir naikino miestus. Visas kraštas drebėjo nuo jo riaumojimo.

⁸Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces; and they spread their net over him; he was taken in their pit.

⁸Aplinkinių kraštų tautos sukilo prieš jį, ištiesė savo tinklą ir sugavo jį.

⁹They put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into strongholds, that his voice should no more be heard on the mountains of Israel.

⁹Jie sukaustė jį grandinėmis, uždarė narvan ir, nugabenę pas Babilono karalių, įmetė į kalėjimą, kad jo balsas nebebūtų girdimas Izraelio kalnuose.

¹⁰Your mother was like a vine, in your blood, planted by the waters: it was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.

¹⁰Tavo motina buvo kaip vynmedis, pasodintas prie vandens, gausus šakelių ir vaisių.

¹¹It had strong rods for the scepters of those who bore rule, and their stature was exalted among the thick boughs, and they were seen in their height with the multitude of their branches.

¹¹Jo stiprus ūglis tapo valdovo skeptru, iškilo aukštai tarp šakelių; jis buvo toli matomas.

¹²But it was plucked up in fury, it was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit: its strong rods were broken off and withered; the fire consumed them.

¹²Bet rūstybėje jis buvo išrautas ir numestas žemėn. Rytų vėjas sudžiovino jo vaisius, šakos sudžiūvo ir ugnis prarijo jas.

¹³Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.

¹³Dabar jis pasodintas dykumoje, sausoje ir išdžiūvusioje žemėje.

¹⁴Fire is gone out of the rods of its branches, it has devoured its fruit, so that there is in it no strong rod to be a scepter to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.

¹⁴Ugnis, išėjusi iš jo kamieno, sudegino šakas ir vaisius. Nebėra kamieno, kuris galėtų būti valdovo skeptras. Tai yra rauda ir ji liks rauda”.
