Ezekiel 15

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

Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ̀ mí wá wí pé:

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

“Ọmọ ènìyàn, báwo ni igi àjàrà ṣe dára ju igi mìíràn lọ tàbí jù ẹ̀ka àjàrà tó wà láàrín igi yòókù nínú igbó?

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

Ǹjẹ́ a wa lè mú igi lára rẹ̀ ṣe nǹkan tí ó wúlò bí? Tàbí kí ènìyàn fi ṣe èèkàn tí yóò fi nǹkan kọ́?

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?

Lẹ́yìn èyí, ṣe a jù ú sínú iná gẹ́gẹ́ bí epo ìdáná, gbogbo igun rẹ̀ jóná pẹ̀lú àárín rẹ, ṣé o wà le wúlò fún nǹkan kan mọ́?

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?”

Tí kò bá wúlò fún nǹkan kan nígbà tó wà lódidi, báwo ni yóò ṣe wá wúlò nígbà tí iná ti jó o, tó sì dúdú nítorí èéfín?

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.

“Nítorí náà, báyìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí, bí mo ṣe sọ igi àjàrà tó wà láàrín àwọn igi inú igbó yòókù di igi ìdáná, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Èmi yóò ṣe ṣe gbogbo ènìyàn tó ń gbé Jerusalẹmu.

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.

Èmi yóò dojúkọ wọ́n. Bó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé wọn ti jáde kúrò nínú iná kan, síbẹ̀ iná mìíràn yóò pàpà jó wọn. Nígbà tí mo bá sì dojúkọ wọ́n, ẹ̀yin yóò sì mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa.

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

Èmi yóò sọ ilé náà di ahoro nítorí ìwà àìṣòótọ́ wọn, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.”
