Yagalamiranga wakati mu mpologoma ento,

3N’ekuza emu ku baana baayo
n’efuuka empologoma ey’amaanyi,
n’eyiga okuyigga ebisolo,
n’okulya abantu.
419:4 2Bk 23:33-34; 2By 36:4Amawanga gaawulira ebimufaako,
n’akwatirwa mu kinnya kye yali asimye,
ne bamusibamu amalobo
ne bamuleeta mu nsi y’e Misiri.

ne bye yali alindirira nga biyise,
n’eddira emu ku baana baayo ab’empologoma endala,
n’egifuula empologoma ey’amaanyi.

kubanga yali efuuse empologoma ey’amaanyi,
era n’eyiga okuyigga ensolo,

ne bagiteeka mu kayumba ak’ebyuma,
ne bagitwala eri kabaka w’e Babulooni;
n’eteekebwa mu kkomera,
n’etaddayo kuwulikika nate ku nsozi za Isirayiri.
1019:10 Zab 80:8-11“ ‘Maama wo yali ng’omuzabbibu mu nnimiro
ogwasimbibwa okumpi n’amazzi;
ne gubala ebibala ne bijjula amatabi,
kubanga waaliwo amazzi mangi.
1119:11 Ez 31:3; Dan 4:11Amatabi gaagwo gaali magumu,
era nga gasaanira okukolebwamu omuggo gw’obwakabaka.
Omuzabbibu ogwo gwali muwanvu ne guyitamu
okusinga emiti emirala,
ne gumanyibwa olw’obuwanvu bwagwo,
n’olw’amatabi gaagwo amangi.
1219:12 a Ez 17:10 b Is 27:11; Ez 28:17; Kos 13:15Naye gwasigulibwa n’ekiruyi
ne gusuulibwa wansi;
embuyaga ez’Ebuvanjuba ne zigukaza,
ebibala byagwo ne biggwaako,
n’amatabi gaakwo amagumu ne gakala,
era ne gwokebwa omuliro.
1319:13 a Ez 20:35 b Kos 2:3Kaakano gusimbiddwa mu ddungu,
awakalu awatali mazzi.
1419:14 a Ez 20:47 b Ez 15:4Omuliro gwava ku limu ku matabi,
ne gwokya amatabi gaagwo n’ebibala byagwo.
Tewasigadde ttabi ggumu na limu ku gwo
eriyinza okukolwamu omuggo ogw’obwakabaka.’
Kuno kukungubaga, era kukozesebwa ng’okukungubaga.”
A lament over Israel’s princes
1‘Take up a lament concerning the princes of Israel 2and say:
‘ “What a lioness was your mother
among the lions!
She lay down among them
and reared her cubs.
3She brought up one of her cubs,
and he became a strong lion.
He learned to tear the prey
and he became a man-eater.
4The nations heard about him,
and he was trapped in their pit.
They led him with hooks
to the land of Egypt.
5‘ “When she saw her hope unfulfilled,
her expectation gone,
she took another of her cubs
and made him a strong lion.
6He prowled among the lions,
for he was now a strong lion.
He learned to tear the prey
and he became a man-eater.
7He broke down19:7 Targum (see Septuagint); Hebrew He knew their strongholds
and devastated their towns.
The land and all who were in it
were terrified by his roaring.
8Then the nations came against him,
those from regions round about.
They spread their net for him,
and he was trapped in their pit.
9With hooks they pulled him into a cage
and brought him to the king of Babylon.
They put him in prison,
so his roar was heard no longer
on the mountains of Israel.
10‘ “Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard19:10 Two Hebrew manuscripts; most Hebrew manuscripts your blood
planted by the water;
it was fruitful and full of branches
because of abundant water.
11Its branches were strong,
fit for a ruler’s sceptre.
It towered high
above the thick foliage,
conspicuous for its height
and for its many branches.
12But it was uprooted in fury
and thrown to the ground.
The east wind made it shrivel,
it was stripped of its fruit;
its strong branches withered
and fire consumed them.
13Now it is planted in the desert,
in a dry and thirsty land.
14Fire spread from one of its main19:14 Or from under its branches
and consumed its fruit.
No strong branch is left on it
fit for a ruler’s sceptre.”
This is a lament and is to be used as a lament.’
