1 너는 이스라엘 방백들을 위하여 애가를 지어

1 “As for you, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel

2 부르기를 네 어미는 무엇이냐 암사자라 그가 사자들 가운데 엎드리어 젊은 사자 중에서 그 새끼를 기르는데

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

3 그 새끼 하나를 키우매 젊은 사자가 되어 식물 움키기를 배워 사람을 삼키매

3 ‘When she brought up one of her cubs,He became a lion,And he learned to tear his prey;He devoured men.

4 이방이 듣고 함정으로 그를 잡아 갈고리로 꿰어끌고 애굽 땅으로 간지라

4 ‘Then nations heard about him;He was captured in their pit,And they brought him with hooksTo the land of Egypt.

5 암사자가 기다리다가 소망이 끊어진 줄을 알고 그 새끼 하나를 또 취하여 젊은 사자가 되게 하니

5 ‘When she saw, as she waited,That her hope was lost,She took another of her cubsAnd made him a young lion.

6 젊은 사자가 되매 여러 사자 가운데 왕래하며 식물 움키기를 배워 사람을 삼키며

6 ‘And he walked about among the lions;He became a young lion,He learned to tear his prey;He devoured men.

7 그의 궁실들을 헐고 성읍들을 훼파하니 그 우는 소리로 인하여 땅과 그 가득한 것이 황무한지라

7 ‘He destroyed their fortified towersAnd laid waste their cities;And the land and its fullness were appalledBecause of the sound of his roaring.

8 이방이 둘려 있는 지방에서 그를 치러 와서 그의 위에 그물을 치고 함정에 잡아

8 ‘Then nations set against himOn every side from their provinces,And they spread their net over him;He was captured in their pit.

9 갈고리로 꿰고 철롱에 넣어 끌고 바벨론 왕에게 이르렀나니 그를 옥에 가두어서 그 소리로 다시 이스라엘 산에 들리지 않게 하려 함이니라

9 ‘They put him in a cage with hooksAnd brought him to the king of Babylon;They brought him in hunting netsSo that his voice would be heard no moreOn the mountains of Israel.

10 네 피의 어미는 물 가에 심긴 포도나무 같아서 물이 많으므로 실과가 많고 가지가 무성하며

10 ‘Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard,Planted by the waters;It was fruitful and full of branchesBecause of abundant waters.

11 그 가지들은 견강하여 권세 잡은 자의 홀이 될만한데 그 하나의 키가 굵은 가지 가운데서 높았으며 많은 가지 가운데서 뛰어나서 보이다가

11 ‘And it had strong branches fit for scepters of rulers,And its height was raised above the cloudsSo that it was seen in its height with the mass of its branches.

12 분노 중에 뽑혀서 땅에 던짐을 당하매 그 실과는 동풍에 마르고 그 견강한 가지들은 꺾이고 말라 불에 탔더니

12 ‘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 offSo that it withered;The fire consumed it.

13 이제는 광야,메마르고 가물이 든 땅에 심긴바 되고

13 ‘And now it is planted in the wilderness,In a dry and thirsty land.

14 불이 그 가지 중 하나에서부터 나와서 그 실과를 태우니 권세 잡은 자의 홀이 될만한 견강한 가지가 없도다 이것이 애가라 후에도 애가가 되리라

14 ‘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.
