Ezekiel 15
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
2 “Son of man, what can be made from the stalk of a vine, compared to all the plants of the woods that are among the trees of the forests?
“Hlang capa, duup kah thing dongah thingluei aka om misur thing te thing boeih lakah metlam a om?
3 Can any wood be taken from it, so that it may be made into a work, or formed into a peg so as to hang some kind of vessel upon it?
Bitat la saii ham te lamkah thing a loh tih a soah hnopai cungkuem hoei ham anih lamkah te ciphuem la a loh uh nim?
4 Behold, it is used in the fire as fuel. The fire consumes both its ends; and its middle is reduced to ashes. So how can it be useful for any work?
Hmai dongah toihthing bangla a pup ke. A hmoi rhoi te hmai loh a hlawp tih a bangli due tlum. Te te bitat ham thaihtak aya?
5 Even when it was whole, it was unsuitable for a work. How much more so, when fire has devoured it and burned it up, will nothing of it be useful?
A cuemthuek la a om vaengah pataeng bitat la a saii pawt atah hmai loh a cilh tih a tlum phoeiah bitat la metlam koep a saii eh?
6 Therefore, thus says the Lord God: Like the stalk of the vine among the trees of the forests, which I have given to be devoured by fire, so will I deliver the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Duup thing dongkah misur thing te hmai dongah toihthing ham ka khueh vanbangla Jerusalem khosa rhoek te ka khueh van ni.
7 And I will set my face against them. They will go away from fire, and yet fire will consume them. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have set my face against them,
Amih te ka maelhmai ka khueh thil vetih hmai lamloh coe uh cakhaw hmai loh amih te a hlawp ni. Kai loh ka maelhmai amih ka khueh thil vaengah BOEIPA kamah te nan ming uh bitni.
8 and when I will have made their land impassable and desolate. For they have stood forth as transgressors, says the Lord God.”
boekoeknah la boe a koek uh dongah khohmuen te khopong ka khueh ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
