Isigiele 15

1 Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

2 “Dunu egefe! Efe da ifala abuli defebela: ? Waini efe ea amoda da iwila ifala abuli defebela: ?

Son of man, What shall become of the wood of the vine more than of any other wood, of the branch which was standing among the trees of the forest?

3 Amo efega liligi noga: i hamoma: bela: ? Amoga liligi gosagimusa: ma: go hamoma: bela: ?

Can wood be taken therefrom to employ it for any work? or will men take from it a pin to hang thereon any vessel?

4 Waini efe da lalu didimu fawane defele gala. Amo ea bidi da nei dagoi amola dogoa da genosuia: i galea, amoga liligi hamomu ganoma: bela: ?

Behold, if it be given up to the fire to be consumed, —[and] the fire have consumed both its ends, and the middle of it be scorched; will it be fit for any work?

5 Amo liligi da hame neiya amolawane amoga liligi hamomu hamedei. Be laluga nebeba: le, baligiliwane hamedei ba: sa.”

Behold, when it was yet entire, it could not be employed for any work: how much more [must this be] when the fire hath consumed it, and it is scorched, —and shall it yet be employed for any work?

6 Wali, Ouligisu Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Dunu da efe amo iwilaga lale, gobesea, amo defele, Na da Yelusaleme fi dunu fadegale,

Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given up to the fire to be consumed: so do I give up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

7 amola ilima se dabe imunu. Ilia da lalu afae amoba: le hobea: i dagoi. Be amomane, lalu eno da ili nene dagomu. Na da ilima se bidi iasea, Na da Hina Gode dia da dawa: mu.

And I will set my face against them: from the fire have they gone forth, yet the fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I set my face against them.

8 Ilia da Nama fa: no bobogelalu yolesi. Amaiba: le, Na da ilia soge gugunufinisimu.” Ouligisudafa Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi.

And I will render the land a desert; because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord Eternal.
