Ezekiel 15

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,

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

kami capa, tipongah maw misurkung loe kalah thingnawk pongah hoih kue moe, tu thung ih thing tanghangnawk pongah doeh hoih kue?

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

Hmuen maeto sak hanah misurkung to lak o vai maw? To tih ai boeh loe kami mah misurkung hoiah hmuen bangh haih sak o vai maw?

4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel: the fire hath devoured both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned; is it profitable for any work?

Khenah, hmai ah ni a tik o, hmai mah loe takung, a um hoi tadong khoek to kangh. Hmai mah kang pacoengah to thing to patoh han hoih vop maw?

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

Khenah, hmai mah kang ai akung ah oh naah mataeng doeh avanghaih om ai nahaeloe, hmai mah kangh moe, hmai saae ah oh pacoeng naah cae loe, kawkruk maw patoh han avang ai ah om tih?

6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: 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.

To pongah Angraeng Sithaw mah, Tupui thung ih thingnawk salak ih misurkung to hmaitik hanah ka paek baktih toengah, Jerusalem vangpui thungah kaom kaminawk to ka paek han.

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

Nihcae to mikhmai ka set thuih han; nihcae loe hmai maeto thung hoiah tacawt o tih, toe kalah hmai maeto mah nihcae to kang tih; nihcae mikhmai ka set thuih naah loe, Kai loe Angraeng ni, tiah na panoek o tih, tiah thuih.

8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.

Nihcae mah zaehaih sak o pongah prae to ka pongsak sut han boeh, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
