< Ezekiel 15 >
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
И бысть слово Господне ко мне глаголя:
2 Son of man, what is the vine-tree more than any branching tree which is among the trees of the woods?
сыне человечь, что было бы древо лозное от всех древес гроздных, сущих во древесех дубравных?
3 Will its wood be used for any work? do men make of it a pin for hanging any vessel on?
Аще возмут от него древо, еже сотворити дело? И аще возмут кол от него, еже обесити на нем кий либо сосуд?
4 See, it is put into the fire for burning: the fire has made a meal of its two ends and the middle part of it is burned; is it good for any work?
Разве еже огневи предастся на потребление, летнее очищение его потребляет огнь, и изчезает до конца: еда потребно будет на дело?
5 Truly, before it was cut down, it was not used for any purpose: how much less, when the fire has made a meal of it and it is burned, will it be made into anything?
И еще целу ему сущу не будет на дело, кольми паче аще огнь е попалит до конца, будет ли на дело потом?
6 For this cause the Lord has said: Like the vine-tree among the trees of the woods which I have given to the fire for burning, so will I give the people of Jerusalem.
Сего ради рцы: сице глаголет Господь Бог: якоже лоза виноградная во древех дубравных, юже дах на потребление огневи, тако дам живущыя во Иерусалиме:
7 And my face will be turned against them; and though they have come out of the fire they will be burned up by it; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord when my face is turned against them.
и дам лице Мое на ня, от огня изыдут, и огнь пояст я: и уведят, яко Аз Господь, егда утвержду лице Мое на них:
8 And I will make the land a waste because they have done evil, says the Lord.
и дам землю в пагубу, зане впадоша в грех, глаголет Адонаи Господь.
