Ezekiel 15
1 And thee word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
HIKI mai la hoi ka olelo a Iehova ia'u i mai la,
2 Sonne of man, what commeth of the vine tree aboue all other trees? and of the vine braunch, which is among the trees of ye forest?
E ke keiki a ke kanaka, heaha ka oi o ke kumu waina mamua o ke kumu laau e ae, a mamua o ka lala laau iwaena o na laau o ka ululaau?
3 Shall wood bee taken thereof to doe any worke? or wil men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
E laweia anei kauwahi laau ona e hana'i i kekahi hana? E lalau anei kanaka i kahi kui noloko o ia mea e kau aku i kekahi ipu malaila?
4 Behold, it is cast in the fire to be consumed: the fire consumeth both the endes of it, and the middes of it is burnt. Is it meete for any worke?
Aia hoi, ua hooleiia ia iloko o ke ahi i wahie, a ua pau i ke ahi na welau elua ona, a wela hoi ka waena ona. He mea pono anei ia no ka hana?
5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meete for no worke: how much lesse shall it bee meete for any worke, when the fire hath consumed it, and it is burnt?
Aia hoi, i kona okoa ana, aole pono ia no ka hana. A i ka pau ana i ke ahi, a wela hoi, ua pono anei ia no kahi hana?
6 Therefore thus sayth the Lord God, As the vine tree, that is among the trees of the forest, which I haue giuen to the fire to be consumed, so will I giue the inhabitants of Ierusalem.
Nolaila ke olelo nei Iehova ka Haku penei; E like me ke kumu waina iwaena o na kumu laau o ka ululaau a'u i haawi ai i ke ahi i wahie, pela o haawi aku ai au i na kanaka o Ierusalema.
7 And I will set my face against them: they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall consume them: and ye shall know, that I am the Lord, when I set my face against them,
A e hooku e au i ko'u maka ia lakou; e puka lakou mai loko aku o kekahi ahi, a e pau lakou i kekahi ahi; a e ike oukou owau no Iehova i ko'u wa e hooku e ai i ko'u wahi maka ia lakou.
8 And when I make the lande waste, because they haue greatly offended, saith the Lord God.
A e hooneoneo loa au i keia aina, no ka lakou hana hewa ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
