Ezekiel 15

1 The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani sacīdams:

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

Cilvēka bērns! Vai vīna koks pārāks par citu koku, vīna stīga, kas ir starp meža kokiem!

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

Vai no tā ņem lietas koku, ko taisīt? Vai no tā ņem vadzi, pie tā pakārt kādu rīku?

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?

Redzi, ugunij to nodod par barību; uguns ēd viņa abus galus un apsvilina viņa vidu; vai tas vēl der kādai lietai?

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.

Redzi, kad tas vēl bija vesels, tad tas nederēja nekādai lietai, ne nu vēl, kad uguns to ēdis un apsvilinājis, vai no tā vēl ko var taisīt?

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.

Tāpēc tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: tā kā vīna koku starp meža kokiem Es nododu ugunij, lai to aprij, tā Es nodošu Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājus.

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.

Un Es pret tiem griezīšu Savu vaigu; no uguns tie iznākuši un uguns tos aprīs, lai jūs atzīstat, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, kad Es pret tiem griežu Savu vaigu.

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

Un Es darīšu to zemi par posta vietu, tāpēc ka tie visi no Manis atkāpušies, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
