| 1 | Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, | Καὶ σὺ λάβε θρῆνον ἐπὶ τὸν ἄρχοντα τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, |
| 2 | And say: Why did thy mother the lioness lie down among the lions, and bring up her whelps in the midst of young lions? | καὶ ἐρεῖς, τί ἡ μήτηρ σου σκύμνος ἐν μέσῳ λεόντων ἐγενήθη; ἐν μέσῳ λεόντων ἐπλήθυεν σκύμνους αὐτῆς. |
| 3 | And she brought out one of her whelps, and he became a lion: and he learned to catch the prey, and to devour men. | Καὶ ἀπεπήδησεν εἷς τῶν σκύμνων αὐτῆς, λέων ἐγένετο, καὶ ἔμαθε τοῦ ἁρπάζειν ἁρπάγματα, ἀνθρώπους ἔφαγε. |
| 4 | 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. | Καὶ ἤκουσαν κατʼ αὐτοῦ ἔθνη, ἐν τῇ διαφθορᾷ αὐτῶν συνελήφθη, καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν ἐν κημῷ εἰς γῆν Αἰγύπτου. |
| 5 | But she seeing herself weakened, and that her hope was lost, took one of her young lions, and set him up for a lion. | Καὶ εἶδεν ὅτι ἀπῶσται ἀπʼ αὐτῆς, ἀπώλετο ἡ ὑπόστασις αὐτῆς· καὶ ἔλαβεν ἄλλον ἐκ τῶν σκύμνων αὐτῆς· λέοντα ἔταξεν αὐτὸν. |
| 6 | And he went up and down among the lions, and became a lion: and he learned to catch the prey, and to devour men. | Καὶ ἀνεστρέφετο ἐν μέσῳ λεόντων, λέων ἐγένετο, καὶ ἔμαθεν ἁρπάζειν ἁρπάγματα, ἀνθρώπους ἔφαγε, |
| 7 | 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. | καὶ ἐνέμετο τῷ θράσει αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν ἐξηρήμωσε, καὶ ἠφάνισε γῆν, καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς ἀπὸ φωνῆς ὠρυώματος αὐτοῦ. |
| 8 | And the nations Game together against him on every side out of the provinces, and they spread their net over him, in their wounds he was taken. | Καὶ ἔδωκαν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ἔθνη ἐκ χωρῶν κυκλόθεν, καὶ ἐξεπέτασαν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν δίκτυα αὐτῶν, ἐν διαφθορᾷ αὐτῶν συνελήφθη· |
| 9 | 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. | Καὶ ἔθεντο αὐτὸν ἐν κημῷ καὶ ἐν γαλεάγρᾳ, ἦλθε πρὸς βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς φυλακὴν, ὅπως μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἡ φωνὴ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη τοῦ Ἰσραήλ. |
| 10 | Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood planted by the water: her fruit and her branches have grown out of many waters. | Ἡ μήτηρ σου ὡς ἄμπελος καὶ ὡς ἄνθος ἐν ῥοᾷ, ἐν ὕδατι πεφυτευμένη, ὁ καρπὸς αὐτῆς καὶ ὁ βλαστὸς αὐτῆς ἐγένετο ἐξ ὕδατος πολλοῦ. |
| 11 | 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. | Καὶ ἐγένετο αὕτη ῥάβδος ἐπὶ φυλὴν ἡγουμένων, καὶ ὑψώθη τῷ μεγέθει αὐτῆς ἐν μέσῳ στελεχῶν· καὶ εἶδε τὸ μέγεθος αὐτῆς ἐν πλήθει κλημάτων αὐτῆς. |
| 12 | 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. | Καὶ κατεκλάσθη ἐν θυμῷ, ἐπὶ γῆν ἐῤῥίφη, καὶ ἄνεμος ὁ καύσων ἐξήρανε τὰ ἐκλεκτὰ αὐτῆς· ἐξεδικήθησαν, καὶ ἐξηράνθη ἡ ῥάβδος ἰσχύος αὐτῆς· πῦρ ἀνήλωσεν αὐτήν. |
| 13 | And now she is transplanted into the desert, in a land not passable, and dry. | Καὶ νῦν πεφύτευκαν αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ ἠρημῳ, ἐν γῇ ἀνύδρῳ. |
| 14 | 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. | Καὶ ἐξῆλθε πῦρ ἐκ ῥάβδου ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτῆς, καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτὴν, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἐν αὐτῇ ῥάβδος ἰσχύος· φυλὴ εἰς παραβολὴν θρήνου ἐστὶ, καὶ ἐσται εἰς θρῆνον. |
