Ezekieli 15

1 Yehova anayankhulanso nane kuti,

And the word of the Lord was maad to me,

2 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, kodi mtengo wamphesa umapambana bwanji mtengo wina uliwonse? Nthambi zake zimapambana bwanji nthambi ina iliyonse.

and he seide, Sone of man, what schal be don to the tre of a vyne, of alle the trees of woodis, that ben among the trees of woodis?

3 Mtengo umene uja nʼkupangira chiyani? Kodi anthu angathe kupangira chikhomo chokolekapo zinthu zawo?

Whether tymbre schal be takun therof, that werk be maad? ether shal a stake be maad therof, that ony vessel hange ther onne?

4 Taonani, ndi nkhuni chabe zosonkhera moto. Ukaponyedwa pa moto monga nkhuni ndi kuyaka mbali zonse ndi kusanduka makala, kodi ungagwiritsidwe ntchito ina iliyonse?

Lo! it is youun in to mete; fier wastide euer eithir part therof, and the myddis therof is dryuun in to deed sparcle; whether it schal be profitable to werk?

5 Ngati pamene unali wosapsa sukanatheka kuwugwiritsa ntchito, nanga bwanji utapserera ndi moto, adzawugwiritsa ntchito bwanji?

Yhe, whanne it was hool, it was not couenable to werk; hou myche more whanne fier hath deuourid, and hath brent it, no thing of werk schal be maad therof?

6 “Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye Yehova akuti, ‘Mtengo wamphesa ndidzawuponya mʼmoto monga ndimachitira ndi mitengo ina ya ku nkhalango. Momwemonso ndidzachita ndi anthu a ku Yerusalemu.

Therfor the Lord God seith thes thingis, As the tre of a vyne is among the trees of woodis, which Y yaf to fier to deuoure, so Y yaf the dwelleris of Jerusalem,

7 Ndidzawalanga pamenepo ngakhale iwo atuluka pa moto, motowo udzawatenthabe. Ndipo pamene ndidzatsutsana nawo, mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.

and Y schal sette my face ayens hem. Thei schulen go out of the fier, and fier schal waaste hem; and ye schulen wite, that Y am the Lord, whanne Y schal sette my face ayens hem,

8 Ine ndidzasandutsa dziko kukhala chipululu chifukwa anthu akhala osakhulupirika, akutero Ambuye Yehova.’”

and schal yyue the lond with out weie and desolat, for thei weren trespassours, seith the Lord God.
