< Ezekiel 15 >

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
तब परमप्रभुको वचन यसो भनेर मकहाँ आयो,
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?
“ए मानिसको छोरो, वनका अरू कुनै रूखका हाँगाहरूभन्‍दा दाखका बोटको कसरी असल हुन्‍छ?
3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will [men] take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
के मानिसहरूले दाखको बोटबाट केही चीज बनाउन काठ लिन्छन् र? के तिनीहरूले कुनै कुरा झुण्‍ड्याउनलाई त्‍यसबाट किला बनाउँछन्‌ र?
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?
हेर्, त्यसलाई दाउराको रूपमा आगोमा हालियो भने र त्‍यसका दुई छेउ र बिचको भाग आगोले भस्‍म भयो भने, के त्‍यो कुनै कामको हुन्‍छ र?
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?
हेर्, त्‍यो सिङ्गै हुँदा पनि केही कामको बन्‍न सकेन । निश्‍चय पनि आगोले भस्‍म भएपछि, अझै पनि त्‍यसबाट केही कामको कुरा बन्‍दैन ।
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 will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
यसकारण परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्‍छः वनमा भएका रूखहरूभन्‍दा फरक गरी मैले दाखका बोटलाई आगोको लागि दाउरा हुन दिएँ । यरूशलेमका बसिन्‍दाहरूसित पनि म त्‍यसरी नै काम गर्नेछु ।
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] the LORD, when I set my face against them.
किनकि म आफ्‍नो अनुहार तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा फर्काउनेछु । तिनीहरू आगोबाट बाहिर आए तापनि तिनीहरूलाई आगोले नै भस्‍म गर्नेछ । यसरी तिमीहरूले म नै परमप्रभु हुँ भनी जान्‍नेछौ जति बेला मैले आफ्‍नो अनुहार तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा फर्काउनेछु ।
8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.
तब तिनीहरूले पाप गरेका हुनाले म तिनीहरूको देशलाई त्‍यागिएको उजाड-स्‍थान बनाउनेछु— यो परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको घोषणा हो ।”
