Ezekiel 15

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

Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ̀ mí wá wí pé:

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?

“Ọmọ ènìyàn, báwo ni igi àjàrà ṣe dára ju igi mìíràn lọ tàbí jù ẹ̀ka àjàrà tó wà láàrín igi yòókù nínú igbó?

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?

Ǹjẹ́ a wa lè mú igi lára rẹ̀ ṣe nǹkan tí ó wúlò bí? Tàbí kí ènìyàn fi ṣe èèkàn tí yóò fi nǹkan kọ́?

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?

Lẹ́yìn èyí, ṣe a jù ú sínú iná gẹ́gẹ́ bí epo ìdáná, gbogbo igun rẹ̀ jóná pẹ̀lú àárín rẹ, ṣé o wà le wúlò fún nǹkan kan mọ́?

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?

Tí kò bá wúlò fún nǹkan kan nígbà tó wà lódidi, báwo ni yóò ṣe wá wúlò nígbà tí iná ti jó o, tó sì dúdú nítorí èéfín?

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.

“Nítorí náà, báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, bí mo ṣe sọ igi àjàrà tó wà láàrín àwọn igi inú igbó yòókù di igi ìdáná, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Èmi yóò ṣe ṣe gbogbo ènìyàn tó ń gbé Jerusalẹmu.

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.

Èmi yóò dojúkọ wọ́n. Bó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé wọn ti jáde kúrò nínú iná kan, síbẹ̀ iná mìíràn yóò pàpà jó wọn. Nígbà tí mo bá sì dojúkọ wọ́n, ẹ̀yin yóò sì mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa.

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

Èmi yóò sọ ilé náà di ahoro nítorí ìwà àìṣòótọ́ wọn, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.”
