New King James Version NKJV
1 Y TU levanta endecha sobre los príncipes de Israel.
1
"Moreover take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
2 Y dirás: ¡Cómo se echó entre los leones tu madre la leona! entre los leoncillos crió sus cachorros.
2
and say: 'What is your mother? A lioness: She lay down among the lions; Among the young lions she nourished her cubs.
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, And he became a young lion; He learned to catch prey, And he devoured men.
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 trapped in their pit, And they brought him with chains to the land of Egypt.
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
'When she saw that she waited, that her hope was lost, She took another of her cubs and made him a young lion.
6 Y él andaba entre los leones; hízose leoncillo, aprendió á hacer presa, devoró hombres.
6
He roved among the lions, And became a young lion; He learned to catch prey; He devoured men.
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 desolate places, And laid waste their cities; The land with its fullness was desolated By the noise of his roaring.
8 Y dieron sobre él las gentes de las provincias de su alrededor, y extendieron sobre él su red; fué preso en su hoyo.
8
Then the nations set against him from the provinces on every side, And spread their net over him; He was trapped in their pit.
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 chains, And brought him to the king of Babylon; They brought him in nets, That his voice should no longer be heard on the mountains of Israel.
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 bloodline, Planted by the waters, Fruitful and full of branches Because of many waters.
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
She had strong branches for scepters of rulers. She towered in stature above the thick branches, And was seen in her height amid the dense foliage.
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 she was plucked up in fury, She was cast down to the ground, And the east wind dried her fruit. Her strong branches were broken and withered; The fire consumed them.
13 Y ahora está plantada en el desierto, en tierra de sequedad y de aridez.
13
And now she is planted in the wilderness, In a dry and thirsty land.
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 come out from a rod of her branches And devoured her fruit, So that she has no strong branch--a scepter for ruling.' " This is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.
