Ezekiel 15

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

Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:

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?

O ana’ondatio, Ino ty andikoara’ i vahey ty hatae bey? Ino ty singa’e te amo hatae añ’alao?

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?

Hangalam-baramba hao handranjian-draha? Handrambesam-pantake hao hampiradoradoam-balàñe?

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?

Hehe te ahifik’ añ’afo ao ho fandrehetse; tomontoe’ ty afo añ’ila’e roe, vaho ho mae ty añivo’e ao. Mañeva fitoloñañe hao?

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?

Inao! ie tsy ho nañeva hampitoloñeñe te ni-ary, àntsake t’ie mae ro tsy maha-pi-draha kanao finorototo.

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.

Aa hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Hambañe ami’ty vahe amo hatae añ’ala ao, ie natoloko añ’ afo ho fandrehetse, ty nanolorako amo mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo.

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.

Hampiatrefeko am’ iereo ty tareheko; ndra te miakatse ami’ty afo iereo mbe ho forototoe’ i afoy avao; vaho ho fohi’ areo te Izaho Iehovà, ie hatreatreko am’ iereo ty tareheko.

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

Hampangoakoaheko i taney ty amy nifotera’ iareo ahy hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
