Ezekiel 15

1 The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

١ وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

2 "Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, the vine-branch which is among the trees of the forest?

٢ «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، مَاذَا يَكُونُ عُودُ ٱلْكَرْمِ فَوْقَ كُلِّ عُودٍ أَوْ فَوْقَ ٱلْقَضِيبِ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ شَجَرِ ٱلْوَعْرِ؟

3 Shall wood be taken of it to make any work? Or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?

٣ هَلْ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ عُودٌ لِٱصْطِنَاعِ عَمَلٍ مَّا، أَوْ يَأْخُذُونَ مِنْهُ وَتَدًا لِيُعَلَّقَ عَلَيْهِ إِنَاءٌ مَّا؟

4 Look, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire has devoured both its ends, and its midst is burned: is it profitable for any work?

٤ هُوَذَا يُطْرَحُ أَكْلًا لِلنَّارِ. تَأْكُلُ ٱلنَّارُ طَرَفَيْهِ وَيُحْرَقُ وَسَطُهُ. فَهَلْ يَصْلُحُ لِعَمَلٍ؟

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

٥ هُوَذَا حِينَ كَانَ صَحِيحًا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَصْلُحُ لِعَمَلٍ مَّا، فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ لَا يَصْلُحُ بَعْدُ لِعَمَلٍ إِذْ أَكَلَتْهُ ٱلنَّارُ فَٱحْتَرَقَ؟

6 "Therefore thus says Jehovah: '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.

٦ «لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: مِثْلَ عُودِ ٱلْكَرْمِ بَيْنَ عِيدَانِ ٱلْوَعْرِ ٱلَّتِي بَذَلْتُهَا أَكْلًا لِلنَّارِ، كَذَلِكَ أَبْذُلُ سُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

7 I will set my face against them; they shall go forth from the fire, but the fire shall devour them; and you shall know that I am Jehovah, when I set my face against them.

٧ وَأَجْعَلُ وَجْهِي ضِدَّهُمْ. يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ نَارٍ فَتَأْكُلُهُمْ نَارٌ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ حِينَ أَجْعَلُ وَجْهِي ضِدَّهُمْ.

8 I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass,' says Jehovah."

٨ وَأَجْعَلُ ٱلْأَرْضَ خَرَابًا لِأَنَّهُمْ خَانُوا خِيَانَةً، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ».
