Isigiele 15

1 Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i,

And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

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

'Son of man, What is the vine-tree more than any tree? The vine-branch that hath been, Among trees of the forest?

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

Is wood taken from it to use for work? Do they take of it a pin to hang any vessel 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: ?

Lo, to the fire it hath been given for fuel, Its two ends hath the fire eaten, And its midst hath been scorched! Is it profitable for work?

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

Lo, in its being perfect it is not used for work, How much less, when fire hath eaten of it, And it is scorched, Hath it been used yet for 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 said the Lord Jehovah: As the vine-tree among trees of the forest, That I have given to the fire for fuel, So I have given 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 have set My face against them, From the fire they have gone forth, And the fire doth consume them, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In 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.

And I have made the land a desolation, Because they have committed a trespass, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'
