Prophetia Ezechielis

Et tu assume planctum super principes Israël,

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

Et te abes plange super principes Israële,

et dices: Quare mater tua leæna inter leones cubavit? in medio leunculorum enutrivit catulos suos?

And say: Why did thy mother the lioness lie down among the lions, and bring up her whelps in the midst of young lions?

Et dic: quare matre tuo leaena inter leones cuba? In medio de leunculos enutrie catulos suo?

Et eduxit unum de leunculis suis, et leo factus est: et didicit capere prædam, hominemque comedere.

And she brought out one of her whelps, and he became a lion: and he learned to catch the prey, and to devour men.

Et educe uno de leunculos suo, et leone facto es: et disce cape praeda, et homine comede.

Et audierunt de eo gentes: et non absque vulneribus suis ceperunt eum, et adduxerunt eum in catenis in terram Ægypti.

And the nations heard of him, and took him, but not without receiving wounds: and they brought him in chains into the land of Egypt.

Et gentes de eo audi: et non absque vulneres suo cape illo, et adduce illo in catenas in terra de Aegypto.

Quæ cum vidisset quoniam infirmata est, et periit exspectatio ejus, tulit unum de leunculis suis; leonem constituit eum.

But she seeing herself weakened, and that her hope was lost, took one of her young lions, and set him up for a lion.

Que cum vide quia infirma es, et exspectatione de illo peri, fer uno de leunculos suo; leone constitue illo.

Qui incedebat inter leones, et factus est leo: et didicit prædam capere, et homines devorare:

And he went up and down among the lions, and became a lion: and he learned to catch the prey, and to devour men.

Qui incede inter leones, et facto es leone: et disce praeda cape, et homines devora:

didicit viduas facere, et civitates earum in desertum adducere: et desolata est terra et plenitudo ejus a voce rugitus illius.

He learned to make widows, and to lay waste their cities: and the land became desolate, and the fulness thereof by the noise of his roaring.

Disce viduas facere, et civitates de illas in deserto adduce: et desola es terra et plenitudine de illo ab voce de rugito de illo.

Et convenerunt adversus eum gentes undique de provinciis, et expanderunt super eum rete suum: in vulneribus earum captus est,

And the nations came together against him on every side out of the provinces, and they spread their net over him, in their wounds he was taken.

Et gentes contra illo conveni undique de provincias, et expande super illo rete suo: in vulneres de illas capto es,

et miserunt eum in caveam: in catenis adduxerunt eum ad regem Babylonis, miseruntque eum in carcerem, ne audiretur vox ejus ultra super montes Israël.

And they put him into a cage, they brought him in chains to the king of Babylon: and they cast him into prison, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.

Et mitte illo in cavea: in catenas adduce illo ad rege de Babylone, et mitte illo in carcere, ne voce de illo audi ultra super montes Israële.

Mater tua quasi vinea in sanguine tuo super aquam plantata est: fructus ejus et frondes ejus creverunt ex aquis multis.

Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood planted by the water: her fruit and her branches have grown out of many waters.

Matre tuo quasi vinea in sanguine tuo super aqua planta es: frontes de illo et cerne fructus de illo ex aquas multo.

Et factæ sunt ei virgæ solidæ in sceptra dominantium, et exaltata est statura ejus inter frondes, et vidit altitudinem suam in multitudine palmitum suorum.

And she hath strong rods to make sceptres for them that bear rule, and her stature was exalted among the branches: and she saw her height in the multitude of her branches.

Et fac es ad illo virgas solido in sceptras dominor, et exalta es statura de illo inter frontes, et vide altitudine suo in multitudine de palmites suo.

Et evulsa est in ira, in terramque projecta, et ventus urens siccavit fructum ejus: marcuerunt et arefactæ sunt virgæ roboris ejus: ignis comedit eam.

But she was plucked up in wrath, and cast on the ground, and the burning wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods are withered, and dried up: the fire hath devoured her.

Et evulga es in ira, in et terra proicie, et vento ure sicca fructu de illo: marce et arefacie es de virga de robore de illo: igni comede illa.

Et nunc transplantata est in desertum, in terra invia et sitienti.

And now she is transplanted into the desert, in a land not passable, and dry.

Et nunc transplanta es in deserto, in terra invia et sitie.

Et egressus est ignis de virga ramorum ejus, qui fructum ejus comedit: et non fuit in ea virga fortis, sceptrum dominantium. Planctus est, et erit in planctum.

And a fire is gone out from a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit: so that she now hath no strong rod, to be a sceptre of rulers. This is a lamentation, and it shall be for a lamentation.

Et egredior es igni de virga de ramos de illo, qui comede fructu de illo: et non es in illa virga forti, sceptro dominor. Planctu es, et es in plange.
