“ ‘Maama wo nga yali mpologoma nkazi,

Yagalamiranga wakati mu mpologoma ento,

3 N’ekuza emu ku baana baayo
n’efuuka empologoma ey’amaanyi,
n’eyiga okuyigga ebisolo,

4 (B)Amawanga gaawulira ebimufaako,
n’akwatirwa mu kinnya kye yali asimye,
ne bamusibamu amalobo
ne bamuleeta mu nsi y’e Misiri.
5 (C)“ ‘Awo bwe yalaba essuubi lye nga terituukiridde,
ne bye yali alindirira nga biyise,
n’eddira emu ku baana baayo ab’empologoma endala,
n’egifuula empologoma ey’amaanyi.
6 (D)N’etambulatambula mu mpologoma,
kubanga yali efuuse empologoma ey’amaanyi,
era n’eyiga okuyigga ensolo,
n’okulya abantu.
7 (E)N’emenyaamenya ebifo byabwe eby’amaanyi,
n’ezikiriza n’ebibuga byabwe;
ensi n’abo bonna abaagibeerangamu,
ne batya olw’okuwuluguma kwayo.
8 (F)Awo amawanga gonna ne gagirumba,
okuva mu bitundu ebyali byetooloddewo,
ne bayanjuluza ekitimba kyabwe,
ne bagikwatira mu kinnya kyabwe.
9 (G)Ne bakozesa amalobo okugisikayo,
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.
10 (H)“ ‘Maama wo yali ng’omuzabbibu mu nnimiro
ogwasimbibwa okumpi n’amazzi;
ne gubala ebibala ne bijjula amatabi,
kubanga waaliwo amazzi mangi.
11 (I)Amatabi 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.
12 (J)Naye 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.
13 (K)Kaakano gusimbiddwa mu ddungu,
awakalu awatali mazzi.
14 (L)Omuliro 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.”

New International Version
A Lament Over Israel’s Princes
19 “Take up a lament(A) concerning the princes(B) of Israel 2 and say:
“‘What a lioness(C) was your mother
among the lions!
She lay down among them
and reared her cubs.(D)
3 She brought up one of her cubs,
and he became a strong lion.
He learned to tear the prey
and he became a man-eater.
4 The nations heard about him,
and he was trapped in their pit.
They led him with hooks(E)
to the land of Egypt.(F)
5 “‘When she saw her hope unfulfilled,
her expectation gone,
she took another of her cubs(G)
and made him a strong lion.(H)
6 He prowled among the lions,
for he was now a strong lion.
He learned to tear the prey
and he became a man-eater.(I)
7 He broke down[a] their strongholds
and devastated(J) their towns.
The land and all who were in it
were terrified by his roaring.
8 Then the nations(K) came against him,
those from regions round about.
They spread their net(L) for him,
and he was trapped in their pit.(M)
9 With hooks(N) they pulled him into a cage
and brought him to the king of Babylon.(O)
They put him in prison,
so his roar(P) was heard no longer
on the mountains of Israel.(Q)
10 “‘Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard[b](R)
planted by the water;(S)
it was fruitful and full of branches
because of abundant water.(T)
11 Its branches were strong,
fit for a ruler’s scepter.
It towered high
above the thick foliage,
conspicuous for its height
and for its many branches.(U)
12 But it was uprooted(V) in fury
and thrown to the ground.
The east wind(W) made it shrivel,
it was stripped of its fruit;
its strong branches withered
and fire consumed them.(X)
13 Now it is planted in the desert,(Y)
in a dry and thirsty land.(Z)
14 Fire spread from one of its main[c] branches
and consumed(AA) its fruit.
No strong branch is left on it
fit for a ruler’s scepter.’(AB)
“This is a lament(AC) and is to be used as a lament.”
