Ang Panalambiton Parte sa mga Pangulo sang Israel

19 Nagsiling ang Ginoo sa akon, “Kantaha ining panalambiton parte sa mga pangulo sang Israel:

“Ang imo iloy pareho sa isa ka leon nga nagasagod sang iya mga bata kaupod sang iban nga mga leon. Gin-atipan niya ang isa niya ka bata kag nangin makusog nga leon. Nakatuon ini magpanukob, kag nagapangaon sang tawo. Sang mahibaluan ini sang iban nga mga nasyon ginsiod nila siya kag gindala sa Egipto nga nakaw-itan.

5-6 “Sang mareyalisar sang iloy sang sini nga leon nga ang iya handom para sa iya bata napaslawan, ginpadako niya naman ang isa niya ka bata kag nangin makusog man ini nga leon. Nag-upod ini sa iban nga mga leon kag nakatuon ini magpanukob, kag nagapangaon sang tawo. Ginpangguba niya ang mabakod nga mga lugar sang mga kaaway[a] kag ginlaglag ang ila mga banwa. Hinadlukan ang mga pumuluyo sini sang mabatian nila ang iya pagngurob.

“Nagtipon ang mga nasyon sa pagpakig-away sa iya, kag ginlibutan nila siya. Ginladlad nila ang ila lambat kag ginsiod siya. Ginkaw-itan nila siya kag gin-guyod pasulod sa hawla, kag gindala sa hari sang Babilonia. Ginpriso nila siya, gani indi na mabatian ang iya pagngurob sa kabukiran sang Israel.

10 “Ang imo iloy pareho man sa ubas nga gintanom sa higad sang tubig. Madamo ini sang sanga kag bunga tungod kay bugana ang tubig. 11 Mabakod ang iya sini nga mga sanga kag daw puwede himuon nga bulubaston sang hari. Nagtaas gid ang ubas, labaw pa sang sa madabong nga mga tanom. Kitaon ini tungod sa iya kataason kag sa kadabong sang iya mga sanga. 12 Pero may naggabot sini tungod sa kaakig, kag ginhaboy sa duta. Nahuyos ang iya mga bunga tungod sang mainit nga hangin halin sa sidlangan. Nalaya ang iya mabakod nga mga sanga kag dayon gintutdan ini. 13 Karon gintanom ini liwat sa desierto, sa lugar nga mamala kag wala sing tubig. 14 Nasunog ang isa sang iya mga sanga kag naglapta ang kalayo sa iban pa nga mga sanga, kag nasunog man ang mga bunga sini. Gani wala na sing mabakod nga sanga nga nabilin nga puwede himuon nga bulubaston sang hari.

“Ini nga panalambiton dapat nga kantahon sa sini nga panahon.”

A Lament Over Israel’s Princes

19 “Take up a lament(A) concerning the princes(B) of Israel and say:

“‘What a lioness(C) was your mother
    among the lions!
She lay down among them
    and reared her cubs.(D)
She brought up one of her cubs,
    and he became a strong lion.
He learned to tear the prey
    and he became a man-eater.
The nations heard about him,
    and he was trapped in their pit.
They led him with hooks(E)
    to the land of Egypt.(F)

“‘When she saw her hope unfulfilled,
    her expectation gone,
she took another of her cubs(G)
    and made him a strong lion.(H)
He prowled among the lions,
    for he was now a strong lion.
He learned to tear the prey
    and he became a man-eater.(I)
He broke down[a] their strongholds
    and devastated(J) their towns.
The land and all who were in it
    were terrified by his roaring.
Then the nations(K) came against him,
    those from regions round about.
They spread their net(L) for him,
    and he was trapped in their pit.(M)
With hooks(N) they pulled him into a cage
    and brought him to the king of Babylon.(O)
They put him in prison,
    so his roar(P) was heard no longer
    on the mountains of Israel.(Q)

10 “‘Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard[b](R)
    planted by the water;(S)
it was fruitful and full of branches
    because of abundant water.(T)
11 Its branches were strong,
    fit for a ruler’s scepter.
It towered high
    above the thick foliage,
conspicuous for its height
    and for its many branches.(U)
12 But it was uprooted(V) in fury
    and thrown to the ground.
The east wind(W) made it shrivel,
    it was stripped of its fruit;
its strong branches withered
    and fire consumed them.(X)
13 Now it is planted in the desert,(Y)
    in a dry and thirsty land.(Z)
14 Fire spread from one of its main[c] branches
    and consumed(AA) its fruit.
No strong branch is left on it
    fit for a ruler’s scepter.’(AB)

“This is a lament(AC) and is to be used as a lament.”

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

And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.

And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.

The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

13 And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.

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.
