结19:1 你当为以色列的王作起哀歌。
结19:1 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
结19:2 说：‘你的母亲是什么呢？是个母狮子，蹲伏在狮子中间，在少壮狮子中养育小狮子。
结19:2 And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.
结19:3 在她小狮子中养大一个，成了少壮狮子，学会抓食而吃人。
结19:3 And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
结19:4 列国听见了，就把他捉在他们的坑中，用钩子拉到埃及地去。
结19:4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
结19:5 母狮见自己等候失了指望，就从他小狮子中又将一个养为少壮狮子。
结19:5 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.
结19:6 它在众狮子中走来走去，成了少壮狮子，学会抓食而吃人。
结19:6 And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.
结19:7 它知道列国的宫殿，又使他们的城邑变为荒场，因它咆哮的声音，遍地和其中所有的就都荒废。
结19:7 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.
结19:8 于是四围邦国各省的人来攻击他，将网撒在他身上，捉在他们的坑中。
结19:8 Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.
结19:9 他们用钩子钩住他，将他放在笼中带到巴比伦王那里，将他放入坚固之所，使他的声音在以色列山上不再听见。
结19:9 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.
结19:10 你的母亲先前如葡萄树，极其茂盛（原文作“在你血中”），栽于水旁。因为水多，就多结果子，满生枝子。
结19:10 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.
结19:11 生出坚固的枝干，可作掌权者的杖。这枝干高举在茂密的枝中，而且它生长高大，枝子繁多，远远可见。
结19:11 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.
结19:12 但这葡萄树因忿怒被拔出摔在地上，东风吹干其上的果子，坚固的枝干折断枯干，被火烧毁了。
结19:12 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.
结19:13 如今栽于旷野干旱无水之地。
结19:13 And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
结19:14 火也从它枝干中发出，烧灭果子，以至没有坚固的枝干可作掌权者的杖。’这是哀歌，也必用以作哀歌。”
结19:14 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.
