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

1 Y TÚ levanta endecha sobre los príncipes de Israel.

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

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

2 Y dirás: ¡Cómo se echó entre los leones tu madre la leona! entre los leoncillos crió sus cachorros.

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

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

3 E hizo subir uno de sus cachorros: vino á ser leoncillo, y aprendió á prender presa, y á devorar hombres.

3 She brought up one of her cubs. He became a young lion. He learned to catch the prey. He devoured men.

4 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.

4 Y las gentes oyeron de él: fué tomado con el lazo de ellas, y lleváronlo con grillos á la tierra de Egipto.

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

5 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.

5 Y viendo ella que había esperado mucho tiempo, y que se perdía su esperanza, tomó otro de sus cachorros, y púsolo por leoncillo.

5 “‘Now 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.

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

6 Y él andaba entre los leones; hízose leoncillo, aprendió á hacer presa, devoró hombres.

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

7 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.

7 Y conoció sus viudas, y asoló sus ciudades; y la tierra fué asolada, y su abundancia, á la voz de su bramido.

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

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

8 Y dieron sobre él las gentes de las provincias de alrededor, y extendieron sobre él su red; fué preso en su hoyo.

8 Then the nations attacked him on every side from the provinces. They spread their net over him. He was taken in their pit.

9 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.

9 Y pusiéronlo en cárcel con cadenas, y lleváronlo al rey de Babilonia; metiéronlo en fortalezas, para que su voz no se oyese más sobre los montes de Israel.

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

10 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.

10 Tu madre fué como una vid en tu sangre, plantada junto á las aguas, haciendo fruto y echando vástagos á causa de las muchas aguas.

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

11 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.

11 Y ella tuvo varas fuertes para cetros de señores; y levantóse su estatura por encima entre las ramas, y fué vista en su altura, y con la multitud de sus sarmientos.

11 It had strong branches for the scepters of those who ruled. Their stature was exalted among the thick boughs. They were seen in their height with the multitude of their branches.

12 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.

12 Empero fué arrancada con ira, derribada en tierra, y viento solano secó su fruto; fueron quebradas y secáronse sus varas fuertes; consumiólas el fuego.

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

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

13 Y ahora está plantada en el desierto, en tierra de sequedad y de aridez.

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

14 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.

14 Y ha salido fuego de la vara de sus ramos, ha consumido su fruto, y no ha quedado en ella vara fuerte, cetro para enseñorear. Endecha es esta, y de endecha servirá.

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