Ezekiel 15

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,

2 Son of man, what shall be made of the wood of the vine, out of all the trees of the woods that are among the trees of the forests?

tami capa, ratu thung e misurkung hah thing alouke hlak bang alânae maw kaawm.

3 Shall wood be taken of if, to do any work, or shall a pin be made of it for any vessel to hang thereon?

A thing hah hnopai sak nahanelah ouk hno boimaw. Ailo tongben bang nahanelah hai apinimaw ouk a hno boi.

4 Behold it is cast into the fire for fuel: the fire hath consumed both ends thereof, and the midst thereof is reduced to ashes: shall it be useful for any work?

Khenhaw! hmai patawi nahanelah doeh ouk hno awh. A som hoi a kung koe totouh hmai ni koung a kak. A langboung a kak teh, patopatangnae ao boimaw.

5 Even when it was whole it was not fit for work: how much less, when the fire hath devoured and consumed it, shall any work be made of it?

Hmai a kak hoehnahlan pato patang han awm hoehpawiteh, hmai a kak hnukkhu patopatangnae bangmaw hoe kaawm han.

6 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: As the vine tree among the trees of the forests which I have given to the fire to be consumed, so will I deliver up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Ratu thung e thingnaw thung dawk misurkung hah hmai patawi nahanelah ka ta e patetlah Jerusalem khocanaw hai ka hruek han.

7 And I will set my face against them: they shall go out from fire, and fire shall consume them: and you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have set my face against them.

Ahnimouh koe lah ka kangdue sin vaiteh, hmaithung hoi ka tâcawt awh nakunghai, hmai dawk a kak awh mingming han. Ahnimouh koelah ka kangdue sin toteh, BAWIPA la ka o tie a panue awh han.

8 And I shall have made their land a wilderness, and desolate, because they have been transgressors, saith the Lord God.

Ahnimouh ni payonnae bout a sak awh dawkvah, a ramnaw ka pâmit roeroe han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei telah a ti.
