Ezekiel 15

1 And the word of Yhwh 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, or than a branch which is 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 do 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 devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet 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 shall it be meet yet for any work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned?

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 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.

“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; 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.

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 committed a trespass, saith the Lord Yhwh.

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