Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1“Moreover, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
1Et tu assume planctum super principes Israël,
2and say, ‘What was your mother? A lioness. She couched among lions, in the middle of the young lions she nourished her cubs.
2et dices: [Quare mater tua leæna inter leones cubavit? in medio leunculorum enutrivit catulos suos?
3She brought up one of her cubs. He became a young lion. He learned to catch the prey. He 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 hooks to the land of Egypt.
4Et audierunt de eo gentes: et non absque vulneribus suis ceperunt eum, et adduxerunt eum in catenis in terram Ægypti.
5“‘Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her cubs, and made him a young lion.
5Quæ cum vidisset quoniam infirmata est, et periit exspectatio ejus, tulit unum de leunculis suis; leonem constituit eum.
6He went up and down among the lions. He became a young lion. He learned to catch the prey. He devoured men.
6Qui incedebat inter leones, et factus est leo: et didicit prædam capere, et homines devorare:
7He knew their palaces, and laid waste their cities. The land was desolate with its fullness, because of 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 attacked him on every side from the provinces. They 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,
9They put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon. They brought him into strongholds, so that his voice should no more be heard on 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“‘Your mother was like a vine in your blood, planted by the waters. It 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.
11It had strong branches for the scepters of those who ruled. Their stature was exalted among the thick boughs. They were seen in their height with the multitude of their 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 it was plucked up in fury. It was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit. Its strong branches were broken off 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.
13Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
13Et nunc transplantata est in desertum, in terra invia et sitienti.
14Fire has gone out of its branches. It has devoured its fruit, so that there is in it no strong branch to be a scepter 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.
