| 1 | Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, | Et tu assume planctum super principes Israël, |
| 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? | et dices: Quare mater tua leaena inter leones cubavit? in medio leunculorum enutrivit catulos suos? |
| 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. | Et eduxit unum de leunculis suis, et leo factus est: et didicit capere praedam, hominemque comedere. |
| 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. | Et audierunt de eo gentes: et non absque vulneribus suis ceperunt eum, et adduxerunt eum in catenis in terram Aegypti. |
| 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. | Quae cum vidisset quoniam infirmata est, et periit exspectatio eius, tulit unum de leunculis suis; leonem constituit eum. |
| 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. | Qui incedebat inter leones, et factus est leo: et didicit praedam capere, et homines devorare: |
| 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. | didicit viduas facere, et civitates earum in desertum adducere: et desolata est terra et plenitudo eius a voce rugitus illius. |
| 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. | Et convenerunt adversus eum gentes undique de provinciis, et expanderunt super eum rete suum: in vulneribus earum captus est, |
| 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. | et miserunt eum in caveam: in catenis adduxerunt eum ad regem Babylonis, miseruntque eum in carcerem, ne audiretur vox eius ultra super montes Israël. |
| 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. | Mater tua quasi vinea in sanguine tuo super aquam plantata est: fructus eius et frondes eius creverunt ex aquis multis. |
| 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. | Et factae sunt ei virgae solidae in sceptra dominantium, et exaltata est statura eius inter frondes, et vidit altitudinem suam in multitudine palmitum suorum. |
| 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. | Et evulsa est in ira, in terramque proiecta, et ventus urens siccavit fructum eius: marcuerunt et arefactae sunt virgae roboris eius: ignis comedit eam. |
| 13 | And now she is transplanted into the desert, in a land not passable, and dry. | Et nunc transplantata est in desertum, in terra invia et sitienti. |
| 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. | Et egressus est ignis de virga ramorum eius, qui fructum eius comedit: et non fuit in ea virga fortis, sceptrum dominantium. Planctus est, et erit in planctum. |
