Ezekiel 15

1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

Seyè a pale avè m' ankò: Li di m' konsa:

2 Son of man, what is the wood of the vine more than any wood, the vine-branch, which is among the trees of the forest?

-Nonm o! Kisa bwa pye rezen an genyen ki fè l' pi bon pase bwa tout lòt pyebwa ou ka jwenn nan rak?

3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will [men] take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?

Eske li ka ba ou bwa pou fè anyen? Eske yo ka fè pikèt kwòk avè l' pou pandye bagay?

4 Behold, it is given to the fire for fuel: the fire consumeth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned; is it fit for [any] work?

Li ka sèvi pou limen dife ase. Dife a boule de bout li yo ansanm ak mitan an. Apre sa, ou pa ka fè anyen avè l' ankò.

5 Behold, when it was whole, it was used for no work; how much less when the fire hath consumed it, and it is burned, should it yet be used for any work?

Li pa t' ankò boule a, yo te tou pa ka fè anyen avè l'. Koulye a dife a fin boule l', se pi rèd ankò.

6 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: Menm jan yo pran yon bwa pye rezen nan mitan yon rakbwa, yo jete l' nan dife pou boule l', se sa menm mwen pral fè ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo.

7 And I will set my face against them: they shall go forth from [one] fire, and [another] fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah when I set my face against them.

M'ap kenbe tèt ak yo. Yo te chape anba dife a yon fwa, men se dife k'ap boule yo. Lè m'a kenbe tèt ak yo, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.

8 And I will make the land a desolation, because they have wrought unfaithfulness, saith the Lord Jehovah.

Yo twonpe m' tankou yon fanm k'ap twonpe mari l'. Se poutèt sa m'ap fè peyi a tounen yon dezè. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
