Ezekiel 15

1 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

2 “Son of man, how is a vine better than any tree with branches that is among the trees in a forest?

O son of humankind what? is it [the] wood of the vine more than any tree the vine branch which it is among [the] trees of the forest.

3 Do people take wood from a vine to make anything? Or do they make a peg from it to hang anything on it?

¿ Is it taken from it wood to make into a product or? do people take from it a peg to hang on it any vessel.

4 See! If it is thrown into a fire as fuel, and if the fire has burned both of its ends and also the middle, is it good for anything?

There! to the fire it is given for fuel [the] two ends its it consumes the fire and [the] middle of it it is charred ¿ is it successful for a product.

5 See! When it was complete, it could not make anything; surely then, when the fire has burned, then it still will not make anything useful.

There! when was it complete not it was made into a product indeed? if a fire it has consumed it and it has been charred and will it be made? again into a product.

6 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: Unlike the trees in the forests, I have given the vine as fuel for fires; I will act in the same way toward the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh just as [the] wood of the vine among [the] tree[s] of the forest which I have given it to the fire for fuel so I have given [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem.

7 For I will set my face against them. Though they come out from the fire, yet the fire will consume them; so you will know that I am Yahweh, when I set my face against them.

And I will set face my on them from the fire they have come out and the fire it will consume them and you will know that I [am] Yahweh when set I face my on them.

8 Then I will make the land into an abandoned wasteland because they have committed sin—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”

And I will make the land a desolation because they have acted unfaithfully unfaithfulness [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
