Ezekiel 15

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:

2 'Son of man, what is the vine-tree more than any tree, the vine branch which grew up among the trees of the forest?

“Yaa ilma namaa, mukni wayinii akkamitti damee muka bosona keessa jiru kamii iyyuu caala?

3 Shall wood be taken thereof to make any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?

Waan faayidaa qabu tolfachuuf muka wayinii sana irraa takkumaa mukni fudhatamee beekaa? Waa isatti fannifachuuf namoonni isa irratti fannoo ni hojjetuu?

4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire hath devoured both the ends of it, and the midst of it is singed; is it profitable for any work?

Inni erga akkuma qoraan ibiddatti naqamee ibiddi sun fiixee isaa lamaan gubee gidduu xaphi godhee booddee waan tokkoof iyyuu faayidaa qabaa?

5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work; how much less, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is singed, shall it yet be meet for any work?

Inni utuu hin tuqamin faayidaa yoo hin qabaatin, erga ibiddaan gubamee xaphi jedhee immoo hammam faayidaa gad aanaa haa qabaatuu ree?

6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: As the vine-tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so do I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

“Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani akkuma muka wayinii mukkeen bosonaa gidduu jiru akka inni bobaʼuuf ibiddatti naqe sana, uummata Yerusaalem keessa jiraatu illee akkasuma nan godha.

7 And I will set My face against them; out of the fire are they come forth, and the fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I set My face against them.

Ani hamminaan fuula koo isaanitti nan deebisa. Isaan ibidda keessaa baʼan iyyuu, ibiddi amma iyyuu isaan ni balleessa. Yeroo ani hamminaan fuula koo isaanitti deebifadhutti, isin akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.

8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have acted treacherously, saith the Lord GOD.'

Sababii isaan amanamuu didaniif ani biyyattii nan onsa, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.”
