Ezekiel 15

1 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:

Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:

2 Son of man, what is the wood of the vine more than any wood, —a branch, that is among the trees of the forest?

Fis a lòm, kisa bwa chan rezen fè pou l pi bon pase nenpòt bwa branch lyann yo ki pami pyebwa forè yo?

3 Shall wood be taken from it to be wrought into any work? Or will men take a pin of it to hang a vessel upon?

Èske ou ka retire bwa sou li pou fè yon bagay, oswa èske moun ka fè yon kwòk ak li pou pann veso?

4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the middle of it is burned. Is it then fit for any work?

Si yo te mete li nan dife la pou brile, dife a fin manje de pwent li e mitan an fin boukannen tounwa. Konsa, èske li ka itil pou yon bagay?

5 Behold, when it was whole, nothing could be made of it; how much less can anything be made of it when the fire hath devoured it and it is burned!

Gade byen, pandan li an bòn fòm nan, li pa itil anyen. Konbyen anmwens lè dife fin manje li e vin boukannen l tounwa a, pou l ka itil pou fè yon bagay!

6 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give to it the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Pou sa, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Jan lyann yo pami tout pyebwa forè yo, ke m te bay nan dife pou brile a, se konsa mwen te bay moun ki rete Jérusalem yo.

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 Jehovah, when I set my face against them.

Mwen mete figi M kont yo. Byenke yo te sòti nan dife a, malgre sa, dife a va manje yo. Ou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a, lè Mwen mete figi M kont yo.

8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have grievously trespassed, saith the Lord Jehovah.

Konsa, Mwen va fè tè a vin dezole, akoz yo te aji ak enfidelite,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
