Isigiele 15

1 Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,

And the word of Yahweh 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 can the vine-tree be more than any other tree, —any branch which hath been found among the trees of the forest?

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

Shall there be taken from it wood, to be made into any work? Or will men take therefrom a peg, 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: ?

Lo! into the fire, it is given up for fuel, — The two ends thereof, doth the fire devour, And the middle thereof is charred, Is it fit for any work?

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

Lo! while it was yet whole, it could not be made into any work, — how much less when! the fire hath devoured it. and it is charred, can it still be made into 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, saith My Lord Yahweh, As a vine-tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given up to the fire for fuel, so have I given 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.

Therefore will I set my face against them, Out of one fire, have they come forth But another fire, shall devour them, —So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh, by my setting 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.

I will therefore give up the land as a desolation, —because they have committed treachery, Declareth My Lord., Yahweh.
