King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
1Et tu assume planctum super principes Israël,
2And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.
2et dices: [Quare mater tua leæna inter leones cubavit? in medio leunculorum enutrivit catulos suos?
3And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
3Et eduxit unum de leunculis suis, et leo factus est: et didicit capere prædam, hominemque comedere.
4The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
4Et audierunt de eo gentes: et non absque vulneribus suis ceperunt eum, et adduxerunt eum in catenis in terram Ægypti.
5Now 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.
5Quæ cum vidisset quoniam infirmata est, et periit exspectatio ejus, tulit unum de leunculis suis; leonem constituit eum.
6And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.
6Qui incedebat inter leones, et factus est leo: et didicit prædam capere, et homines devorare:
7And 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.
7didicit viduas facere, et civitates earum in desertum adducere: et desolata est terra et plenitudo ejus a voce rugitus illius.
8Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.
8Et convenerunt adversus eum gentes undique de provinciis, et expanderunt super eum rete suum: in vulneribus earum captus est,
9And 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.
9et miserunt eum in caveam: in catenis adduxerunt eum ad regem Babylonis, miseruntque eum in carcerem, ne audiretur vox ejus ultra super montes Israël.
10¶ 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.
10Mater tua quasi vinea in sanguine tuo super aquam plantata est: fructus ejus et frondes ejus creverunt ex aquis multis.
11And 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.
11Et factæ sunt ei virgæ solidæ in sceptra dominantium, et exaltata est statura ejus inter frondes, et vidit altitudinem suam in multitudine palmitum suorum.
12But 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.
12Et evulsa est in ira, in terramque projecta, et ventus urens siccavit fructum ejus: marcuerunt et arefactæ sunt virgæ roboris ejus: ignis comedit eam.
13And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
13Et nunc transplantata est in desertum, in terra invia et sitienti.
14And 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.
14Et egressus est ignis de virga ramorum ejus, qui fructum ejus comedit: et non fuit in ea virga fortis, sceptrum dominantium.] Planctus est, et erit in planctum.
