Ezekiel 15

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

LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik

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

ac fahk, “Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, fuka tuh sak grape uh in wo liki kain sak nukewa saya uh? Ya oasr sripen lahn grape uh liki lahn sak lulap insak uh?

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

Ya kom ku in orekmakin fain in orala kutena ma? Ya kom ku in orala mwe sripsrip kac in sang srupusrak mau?

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?

Ma sefanna ac ku in orek kac, pa in sang tanak sie e ah. Muta luo ah fin firirla ac infulwa ah mulutla, ya kom ac ku in orala kutena ma kac?

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.

Meet liki firiryak ah nuna wangin sripa; ac inge ke firiryak tari ac mulutla, wanginla na pwaye sripa.”

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.

Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk: “Oana ke ac utuku fain liki insak uh ac isisyak, ouinge nga fah usla mwet in acn 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.

ac kalyaelos. Elos kaingkunla sie e uh, a inge sie pac e ac esukulosyak. Ke nga ac kalyaelos, kom ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.

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

Elos tia pwaye nu sik, ouinge nga fah orala facl sac in acn mwesisla.” LEUM GOD Fulatlana pa fahk ma inge.
