Ezekiel 15
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò: Li di m' konsa:
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?
-Nonm o! Kisa bwa pye rezen an genyen ki fè l' pi bon pase bwa tout lòt pyebwa ou ka jwenn nan rak?
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?
Eske li ka ba ou bwa pou fè anyen? Eske yo ka fè pikèt kwòk avè l' pou pandye bagay?
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?
Li ka sèvi pou limen dife ase. Dife a boule de bout li yo ansanm ak mitan an. Apre sa, ou pa ka fè anyen avè l' ankò.
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?
Li pa t' ankò boule a, yo te tou pa ka fè anyen avè l'. Koulye a dife a fin boule l', se pi rèd ankò.
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.
Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: Menm jan yo pran yon bwa pye rezen nan mitan yon rakbwa, yo jete l' nan dife pou boule l', se sa menm mwen pral fè ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo.
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;
M'ap kenbe tèt ak yo. Yo te chape anba dife a yon fwa, men se dife k'ap boule yo. Lè m'a kenbe tèt ak yo, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
8 I will therefore give up the land as a desolation, —because they have committed treachery, Declareth My Lord., Yahweh.
Yo twonpe m' tankou yon fanm k'ap twonpe mari l'. Se poutèt sa m'ap fè peyi a tounen yon dezè. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
