Ezekiel 15

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

Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

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?

Sine èovjeèji, šta je drvo od loze vinove prema svakom drugom drvetu, ili loza vinova prema drveæu u šumi?

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

Uzima li se od nje drvo da se naèini što? uzima li se od nje klin da se objesi o njemu kakav sud?

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?

Gle, meæe se u oganj da izgori; kad joj oba kraja sažeže oganj, i sredina joj izgori, hoæe li još biti za što?

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?

Gle, dok bijaše cijela, ne mogaše se ništa od nje naèiniti, akamoli æe biti za što kad je oganj proždrije i izgorje.

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.

Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: kakvo je meðu drvetima šumskim drvo od vinove loze, koje dadoh ognju da ga jede, take æu uèiniti stanovnike Jerusalimske.

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.

Jer æu im nasuprot okrenuti lice svoje; kad izidu iz jednoga ognja, drugi æe ih oganj proždrijeti, i poznaæete da sam ja Gospod, kad okrenem lice svoje nasuprot njima.

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

I obratiæu zemlju u pustinju, jer uèiniše nevjeru, govori Gospod Gospod.
