Ezekiel 15

1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:

2 “Son of man, What is the vine-tree more than any tree? The vine-branch that has been, Among trees of the forest?

O ana’ondatio, Ino ty andikoara’ i vahey ty hatae bey? Ino ty singa’e te amo hatae añ’alao?

3 Is wood taken from it to use for work? Do they take a pin of it to hang any vessel on it?

Hangalam-baramba hao handranjian-draha? Handrambesam-pantake hao hampiradoradoam-balàñe?

4 Behold, it has been given to the fire for fuel, The fire has eaten its two ends, And its midst has been scorched! Is it profitable for work?

Hehe te ahifik’ añ’afo ao ho fandrehetse; tomontoe’ ty afo añ’ila’e roe, vaho ho mae ty añivo’e ao. Mañeva fitoloñañe hao?

5 Behold, in its being perfect it is not used for work, How much less when fire has eaten of it, And it is scorched, Has it been used yet for work?”

Inao! ie tsy ho nañeva hampitoloñeñe te ni-ary, àntsake t’ie mae ro tsy maha-pi-draha kanao finorototo.

6 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “As the vine-tree among trees of the forest, That I have given to the fire for fuel, So I have given the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Aa hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà Talè: Hambañe ami’ty vahe amo hatae añ’ala ao, ie natoloko añ’ afo ho fandrehetse, ty nanolorako amo mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo.

7 And I have set My face against them, They have gone forth from the fire, And the fire consumes them, And you have known that I [am] YHWH, In My setting My face against them.

Hampiatrefeko am’ iereo ty tareheko; ndra te miakatse ami’ty afo iereo mbe ho forototoe’ i afoy avao; vaho ho fohi’ areo te Izaho Iehovà, ie hatreatreko am’ iereo ty tareheko.

8 And I have made the land a desolation, Because they have committed a trespass,” A declaration of Lord YHWH!

Hampangoakoaheko i taney ty amy nifotera’ iareo ahy hoe t’Iehovà Talè.
