Kniha proroka Ezechiela

1 (KJV) Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
1 (KAT) Ty však začni žalospev nad kniežatami Izraela

2 (KJV) And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.
2 (KAT) a povedz: Čo to za levica bola tvoja mať, odpočívala medzi levmi, svoju mlaď prostred levov chovala,

3 (KJV) And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
3 (KAT) jedno vyviedla zo svojich levíčat, vyrástlo v leva, naučilo sa koristiť korisť; ľudí zožierať.

4 (KJV) The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
4 (KAT) O ňom sa dostala zvesť národom a chytili ho do svojej jamy, tak ho za krúžky nosné zaviedli do egyptskej krajiny.

5 (KJV) Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.
5 (KAT) Ona videla, že sa stratila nádej, zhynula; vzala jedno zo svojich levíčat, levom ho spravila,

6 (KJV) And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.
6 (KAT) vykračoval si medzi levmi, vzrástol na leva a naučil sa korisť koristiť, ľudí zožierať.

7 (KJV) And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise of his roaring.
7 (KAT) Korisť zanášal do svojej skrýše, mestá nivočil; krajina a čo bolo v nej, tŕpla od jeho revu.

8 (KJV) Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.
8 (KAT) Zišli sa proti nemu národy z okolitých krajov, vystreli proti nemu svoju sieť a do svojej jamy ho chytili,

9 (KJV) And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
9 (KAT) dali ho do klietky za nosné krúžky, ku kráľovi Bábelu ho vzali, dali do tvrdze, by viac nebolo počuť jeho hlas ponad Izraelove površia.

10 (KJV) Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
10 (KAT) Mať ti je ako vinič v tvojej krvi pri vode sadený, bol úrodný a aj listnatý od hojnej vody.

11 (KJV) And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.
11 (KAT) Potom z neho vyrástla mocná ratolesť, berla kráľovská, jeho vzrast sa vznášal ponad húšťavu, bolo ho vidieť pre jeho výšavu, pre mnohé vetvy.

12 (KJV) But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.
12 (KAT) V rozhorčenosti ho však vytrhli, hodili na zem; východný vietor mu vysušil poobkmásaný plod a jeho prepevná ratolesť vyschla, zhltol ju oheň.

13 (KJV) And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
13 (KAT) Presadený je teraz do púšte, do pôdy suchej a žíznivej.

14 (KJV) And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
14 (KAT) Potom vyšľahol oheň z konára, zhltol jeho vetvy, tiež aj ovocie. Nuž viac nemal pevnú ratolesť, kráľovskú berlu. To je žalospev, áno, žalospevom sa stal.
