以西結書 15

1 上主的話傳給我說：「

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

2 人子，樹林中這棵葡萄樹，到底有什麼超越其他一切樹木之處﹖

O son of humankind what? is it [the] wood of the vine more than any tree the vine branch which it is among [the] trees of the forest.

3 豈能取它的木材製造用具，或者能取出它一根枝條，在上面懸掛器具﹖

¿ Is it taken from it wood to make into a product or? do people take from it a peg to hang on it any vessel.

4 只有投入火中焚燒；火焚燒了它的兩端，中間也在焚燒；它還能有什麼用途﹖

There! to the fire it is given for fuel [the] two ends its it consumes the fire and [the] middle of it it is charred ¿ is it successful for a product.

5 當它完整時，還不能作什麼用具，何況經火燃燒焚化之後，豈不是更不能製造什麼用具﹖

There! when was it complete not it was made into a product indeed? if a fire it has consumed it and it has been charred and will it be made? again into a product.

6 為此，吾主上主這樣說：我怎樣把樹林中的葡萄樹投入火中焚燒，也必怎樣對待耶路撒冷的居民。

Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh just as [the] wood of the vine among [the] tree[s] of the forest which I have given it to the fire for fuel so I have given [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem.

7 我要翻臉打擊他們：他們雖從火中逃出來，仍要為火焚燒。當我翻臉打擊他們時，他們必承認我是上主。

And I will set face my on them from the fire they have come out and the fire it will consume them and you will know that I [am] Yahweh when set I face my on them.

8 因為他們背信違約，我必使那地方變為荒野──吾主上主的斷語。」

And I will make the land a desolation because they have acted unfaithfully unfaithfulness [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
