Ezekiel 15

1 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

2 “Wuod dhano, ere kaka yadh mzabibu ber moloyo bad yien moro amora manie bungu?

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

3 Bende inyalo gol kuome bao malosgo gimoro minyalo tigo? Bende inyalo los kode gig mocho?

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

4 Koso ka odire e mach kaka gima liel mi mach owangʼe koni gi koni kendo orewo diere, bende dochak obed gima inyalo tigo gimoro amora?

Behold, it has been given to the fire for fuel, The fire has eaten its two ends, And its midst has been scorched! Is it profitable for work?

5 Ka mokwongo ne oonge tich kane pok gimoro otime, donge en gima tek moloyo mondo olose obed gima nigi tich bangʼ ka mach, osewangʼe kendo orewore?

Behold, in its being perfect it is not used for work, How much less when fire has eaten of it, And it is scorched, Has it been used yet for work?”

6 “Kuom mano, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Kaka asechiwo yadh mzabibu e dier yiende mag bungu modoko gima ichwakogo mach, e kaka abiro timo ne joma odak Jerusalem.

Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “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 Abiro kumogi kata obedo ni gisewuok e mach, to mach pod biro mana wangʼogi. Kendo kinde ma abiro kumogi to unungʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.

And I have set My face against them, They have gone forth from the fire, And the fire consumes them, And you have known that I [am] YHWH, In My setting My face against them.

8 Abiro miyo piny doko kama otwo nikech ok gisebedo jo-ratiro, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho.”

And I have made the land a desolation, Because they have committed a trespass,” A declaration of Lord YHWH!
