Lamento por los príncipes de Israel
»Dedícale este lamento a la nobleza de Israel:
2 »“En medio de los leones, tu madre era toda una leona. Recostada entre leoncillos, amamantaba a sus cachorros. 3 A uno de ellos lo crió, y este llegó a ser un león bravo que aprendió a desgarrar su presa y a devorar a la gente. 4 Las naciones supieron de sus excesos, y lo atraparon en una fosa; ¡se lo llevaron encadenado a Egipto! 5 Cuando la leona madre perdió toda esperanza de que volviera su cachorro, tomó a otra de sus crías y la convirtió en una fiera. 6 Cuando este león se hizo fuerte, se paseaba muy orondo entre los leones. Aprendió a desgarrar su presa y a devorar a la gente. 7 Demolía palacios, asolaba ciudades, y amedrentaba con sus rugidos a todo el país y a sus habitantes. 8 Las naciones y provincias vecinas se dispusieron a atacarlo. Le tendieron trampas, y quedó atrapado en la fosa. 9 Encadenado y enjaulado lo llevaron ante el rey de Babilonia. Enjaulado lo llevaron para que no se oyeran sus rugidos en los cerros de Israel.
10 »”En medio del viñedo tu madre era una vid plantada junto al agua: ¡fructífera y frondosa, gracias al agua abundante! 11 Sus ramas crecieron vigorosas, ¡aptas para ser cetros de reyes! Tanto creció que se destacaba por encima del follaje. Se le reconocía por su altura y por sus ramas frondosas. 12 Pero fue desarraigada con furia y arrojada por el suelo. El viento del este la dejó marchita, y la gente le arrancó sus frutos. Secas quedaron sus vigorosas ramas, y fueron consumidas por el fuego. 13 Ahora se halla en el desierto, plantada en tierra árida y reseca. 14 De una de sus ramas brotó un fuego, y ese fuego devoró sus frutos. ¡Nada queda de esas vigorosas ramas, aptas para ser cetros de reyes!”
Este es un lamento, y debe entonarse como tal».

A Lament Over Israel’s Princes
“Take up a lament concerning the princes of Israel 2 and say:
“‘What a lioness was your mother among the lions! She lay down among them and reared her cubs. 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 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. 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. 7 He broke down their strongholds and devastated their towns. The land and all who were in it were terrified by his roaring. 8 Then the nations came against him, those from regions round about. They spread their net for him, and he was trapped in their pit. 9 With 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 vineyard planted by the water; it was fruitful and full of branches because of abundant water. 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. 12 But 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. 13 Now it is planted in the desert, in a dry and thirsty land. 14 Fire spread from one of its main branches and consumed its fruit. No strong branch is left on it fit for a ruler’s scepter.’
“This is a lament and is to be used as a lament.”
