U Baroorashadii Amiirrada Reer Binu Israa'iil

19 Oo weliba waxaad u baroorataa amiirrada reer binu Israa'iil, oo waxaad tidhaahdaa, Hooyadaa maxay ahayd? Gool bay ahayd! oo libaaxyay dhex jiiftay, oo waxay dhasheedii ku dhex korisay libaaxyo yaryar. Oo dhasheedii midkood ayay korisay, oo wuxuu noqday libaax aaran ah, oo wuxuu bartay sida ugaadha loo qabsado, dad buuna cunay. Quruumihii baa warkiisii maqlay, oo waxaa isagii lagu qabtay godkoodii, oo dalkii Masar bay qabatooyin ku keeneen. Haddaba iyadu markay isagii wax badan sugtay oo ay ka rajo beeshay waxay qaadatay mid kale oo dhasheedii ah, oo waxay ka dhigtay libaax aaran ah. Oo isaguna libaaxyaduu dhex socday, oo wuxuu noqday libaax aaran ah, oo wuxuu bartay sida ugaadha loo qabsado, dad buuna cunay. Qalcadahoodii buu yiqiin, oo magaalooyinkoodiina cidla buu ka dhigay, oo dalkii iyo wixii dhexdiisa ka buuxayba baabba' bay noqdeen, waana codka cidiisa aawadiis. Markaasaa quruumihii dhinac kasta kaga keceen oo gobolladii oo dhan ka soo hujuumeen, oo shabaggoodii bay ku kor kala bixiyeen, oo godkoodaa lagu qabtay. Oo intay qabatooyin ku qabteen ayay khafas ku rideen, oo boqorkii Baabuloon bay u keeneen, oo waxay ku rideen qalcado xoog badan si aan codkiisa mar dambe buuraha reer binu Israa'iil looga maqlin.

10 Hooyadaa waxay ahayd sidii geed canab ah oo dhiiggaaga ku dhex jira oo biyo lagu ag beeray. Biyaha badan daraaddood ayay wax midho badan iyo laamo miidhan ah u noqotay. 11 Oo waxay lahayd laamo adadag oo ulo u ah kuwa xukunka hayay, oo sarajooggeeduna wuxuu ka sii sara maray geedaha laamahooda waaweyn, oo dhererkeedu wuxuu la muuqday laameheeda badan aawadood. 12 Laakiinse iyadii cadhaa lagu rujiyey, oo dhulkaa lagu soo xooray, oo dabayshii bari ayaa midheheedii qallajisay, laameheedii adadkaana way jajabeen oo engegeen, oo dab baa iyagii baabbi'iyey. 13 Oo haddana waxaa iyadii lagu dhex beeray cidlada, taasoo ah dhul engegan oo oommanaa. 14 Oo dab baa laameheedii ka soo dhex baxay, oo midhaheedii dhammeeyey, oo sidaas aawadeed iyadu ma leh laan adag oo ul wax lagu xukumo noqon karta. Tanu waa baroorasho, oo baroorashay u noqon doontaa.

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.”
