A lioness among lions!
She lay down among young lions,
She reared her cubs.
‘What was your mother?
A lioness among lions!

And he learned to tear his prey;
He devoured men.

He devoured men.
Eins von ihren Jungen zog sie groß und es wurde ein star- ker Löwe. Er lernte, Beute zu reißen, er fraß Menschen.

He was captured in their pit,
And they brought him with hooks
To the land of Egypt.

That her hope was lost,
She took another of her cubs
And made him a young lion.

He became a young lion,
He learned to tear his prey;
He devoured men.

And laid waste their cities;
And the land and its fullness were appalled
Because of the sound of his roaring.
And laid waste their cities;
And the land and its fullness were appalled
Because of the sound of his roaring.
Er zerbrach ihre Burgen und verheerte ihre Städte; die Erde, und was sie erfüllt, entsetzte sich bei seinem lauten Gebrüll.
‘Then nations set against him
On every side from their provinces,
And they spread their net over him;
He was captured in their pit.
On every side from their provinces,
And they spread their net over him;
He was captured in their pit.
Da setzte man Völker gegen ihn ein aus den Provinzen ringsum. Sie warfen ihr Netz über ihn; in ihrer Grube wurde er gefangen.
‘They put him in a cage with hooks
And brought him to the king of Babylon;
They brought him in hunting nets
So that his voice would be heard no more
On the mountains of Israel.

Sie legten ihn mit Haken in das Halseisen und brachten ihn zum König von Babel. Sie brachten ihn in Gewahrsam, damit man seine Stimme nicht mehr hörte auf Israels Bergen.
‘Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard,
Planted by the waters;
It was fruitful and full of branches
Because of abundant waters.
Planted by the waters;
It was fruitful and full of branches
Because of abundant waters.
Deine Mutter war einem Weinstock vergleichbar, der am Wasser gepflanzt ist. Voll von Früchten und Ranken war er wegen der reichlichen Wasser.
‘And it had strong branches fit for scepters of rulers,
And its height was raised above the clouds
So that it was seen in its height with the mass of its branches.
And its height was raised above the clouds
So that it was seen in its height with the mass of its branches.
Es wuchsen ihm kräftige Zweige, für Zepter von Herrschern geeignet; sein Wuchs war hoch, bis mitten unter die Wolken. Und sichtbar war er wegen seiner Höhe und wegen seines dichten Laubes.
‘But it was plucked up in fury;
It was cast down to the ground;
And the east wind dried up its fruit.
Its strong branch was torn off
So that it withered;
The fire consumed it.
It was cast down to the ground;
And the east wind dried up its fruit.
Its strong branch was torn off
So that it withered;
The fire consumed it.
Doch im Zorn wurde er ausgerissen, wurde auf die Erde geworfen. Der Ostwind ließ seine Früchte verdorren. Sie wurden abgerissen und verdorrten. Sein kräftiger Stamm — Feuer verzehrte ihn.
‘And now it is planted in the wilderness,
In a dry and thirsty land.
In a dry and thirsty land.
Nun ist er in die Wüste verpflanzt, in trockenes und dürstendes Land.
‘And fire has gone out from its branch;
It has consumed its shoots and fruit,
So that there is not in it a strong branch,
A scepter to rule.’”
This is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.
It has consumed its shoots and fruit,
So that there is not in it a strong branch,
A scepter to rule.’”
This is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.
Und Feuer ging aus von den Zweigen am Stamm, es fraß seine Früchte. Kein kräftiger Zweig war mehr an ihm, kein Zepter für Herrscher. — Eine Totenklage ist dies; zur Totenklage ist es geworden.
