< Ezekiel 15 >
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
तब परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
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?
“ए मानिसको छोरो, वनका अरू कुनै रूखका हाँगाहरूभन्दा दाखका बोटको कसरी असल हुन्छ?
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?
के मानिसहरूले दाखको बोटबाट केही चीज बनाउन काठ लिन्छन् र? के तिनीहरूले कुनै कुरा झुण्ड्याउनलाई त्यसबाट किला बनाउँछन् र?
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?
हेर्, त्यसलाई दाउराको रूपमा आगोमा हालियो भने र त्यसका दुई छेउ र बिचको भाग आगोले भस्म भयो भने, के त्यो कुनै कामको हुन्छ र?
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?
हेर्, त्यो सिङ्गै हुँदा पनि केही कामको बन्न सकेन । निश्चय पनि आगोले भस्म भएपछि, अझै पनि त्यसबाट केही कामको कुरा बन्दैन ।
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.
यसकारण परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छः वनमा भएका रूखहरूभन्दा फरक गरी मैले दाखका बोटलाई आगोको लागि दाउरा हुन दिएँ । यरूशलेमका बसिन्दाहरूसित पनि म त्यसरी नै काम गर्नेछु ।
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.
किनकि म आफ्नो अनुहार तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा फर्काउनेछु । तिनीहरू आगोबाट बाहिर आए तापनि तिनीहरूलाई आगोले नै भस्म गर्नेछ । यसरी तिमीहरूले म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी जान्नेछौ जति बेला मैले आफ्नो अनुहार तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा फर्काउनेछु ।
8 And I shall have made their land a wilderness, and desolate, because they have been transgressors, saith the Lord God.
तब तिनीहरूले पाप गरेका हुनाले म तिनीहरूको देशलाई त्यागिएको उजाड-स्थान बनाउनेछु— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको घोषणा हो ।”
