Ezekiel 15

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

Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:

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?

Fis a lòm, kisa bwa chan rezen fè pou l pi bon pase nenpòt bwa branch lyann yo ki pami pyebwa forè yo?

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?

Èske ou ka retire bwa sou li pou fè yon bagay, oswa èske moun ka fè yon kwòk ak li pou pann veso?

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?

Si yo te mete li nan dife la pou brile, dife a fin manje de pwent li e mitan an fin boukannen tounwa. Konsa, èske li ka itil pou yon bagay?

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?

Gade byen, pandan li an bòn fòm nan, li pa itil anyen. Konbyen anmwens lè dife fin manje li e vin boukannen l tounwa a, pou l ka itil pou fè yon bagay!

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.

Pou sa, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Jan lyann yo pami tout pyebwa forè yo, ke m te bay nan dife pou brile a, se konsa mwen te bay moun ki rete Jérusalem yo.

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.

Mwen mete figi M kont yo. Byenke yo te sòti nan dife a, malgre sa, dife a va manje yo. Ou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a, lè Mwen mete figi M kont yo.

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

Konsa, Mwen va fè tè a vin dezole, akoz yo te aji ak enfidelite,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
