Isigiele 15

1 Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,

Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

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

“Son of man, how is a vine better than any tree with branches that is among the trees in a forest?

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

Do people take wood from a vine to make anything? Or do they make a peg from it to hang anything on it?

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: ?

See! If it is thrown into a fire as fuel, and if the fire has burned both of its ends and also the middle, is it good for anything?

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

See! When it was complete, it could not make anything; surely then, when the fire has burned, then it still will not make anything useful.

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 the Lord Yahweh says this: Unlike the trees in the forests, I have given the vine as fuel for fires; I will act in the same way toward 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.

For I will set my face against them. Though they come out from the fire, yet the fire will consume them; so you will know that I am Yahweh, 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.

Then I will make the land into an abandoned wasteland because they have committed sin—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
