Ezekiel 15
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
2 Son of man, What can the vine-tree be more than any other tree, —any branch which hath been found among the trees of the forest?
“Hlang capa, duup kah thing dongah thingluei aka om misur thing te thing boeih lakah metlam a om?
3 Shall there be taken from it wood, to be made into any work? Or will men take therefrom a peg, to hang thereon any vessel?
Bitat la saii ham te lamkah thing a loh tih a soah hnopai cungkuem hoei ham anih lamkah te ciphuem la a loh uh nim?
4 Lo! into the fire, it is given up for fuel, — The two ends thereof, doth the fire devour, And the middle thereof is charred, Is it fit for any work?
Hmai dongah toihthing bangla a pup ke. A hmoi rhoi te hmai loh a hlawp tih a bangli due tlum. Te te bitat ham thaihtak aya?
5 Lo! while it was yet whole, it could not be made into any work, — how much less when! the fire hath devoured it. and it is charred, can it still be made into any work?
A cuemthuek la a om vaengah pataeng bitat la a saii pawt atah hmai loh a cilh tih a tlum phoeiah bitat la metlam koep a saii eh?
6 Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, As a vine-tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given up to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Duup thing dongkah misur thing te hmai dongah toihthing ham ka khueh vanbangla Jerusalem khosa rhoek te ka khueh van ni.
7 Therefore will I set my face against them, Out of one fire, have they come forth But another fire, shall devour them, —So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh, by my setting my face against them;
Amih te ka maelhmai ka khueh thil vetih hmai lamloh coe uh cakhaw hmai loh amih te a hlawp ni. Kai loh ka maelhmai amih ka khueh thil vaengah BOEIPA kamah te nan ming uh bitni.
8 I will therefore give up the land as a desolation, —because they have committed treachery, Declareth My Lord., Yahweh.
boekoeknah la boe a koek uh dongah khohmuen te khopong ka khueh ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
