Ezekiel 15

1 And the word of YHWH came unto me, saying,

Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:

2 Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?

Fis a lòm, kisa bwa chan rezen fè pou l pi bon pase nenpòt bwa branch lyann yo ki pami pyebwa forè yo?

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

Èske ou ka retire bwa sou li pou fè yon bagay, oswa èske moun ka fè yon kwòk ak li pou pann veso?

4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet for any work?

Si yo te mete li nan dife la pou brile, dife a fin manje de pwent li e mitan an fin boukannen tounwa. Konsa, èske li ka itil pou yon bagay?

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

Gade byen, pandan li an bòn fòm nan, li pa itil anyen. Konbyen anmwens lè dife fin manje li e vin boukannen l tounwa a, pou l ka itil pou fè yon bagay!

6 Therefore thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Pou sa, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Jan lyann yo pami tout pyebwa forè yo, ke m te bay nan dife pou brile a, se konsa mwen te bay moun ki rete Jérusalem yo.

7 And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am YHWH, when I set my face against them.

Mwen mete figi M kont yo. Byenke yo te sòti nan dife a, malgre sa, dife a va manje yo. Ou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a, lè Mwen mete figi M kont yo.

8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Sovereign YHWH.

Konsa, Mwen va fè tè a vin dezole, akoz yo te aji ak enfidelite,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
