Ezekiel 15

1 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,

Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

2 “Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, the vine branch which is amongst the trees of the forest?

“Wuod dhano, ere kaka yadh mzabibu ber moloyo bad yien moro amora manie bungu?

3 Will wood be taken of it to make anything? Will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel on it?

Bende inyalo gol kuome bao malosgo gimoro minyalo tigo? Bende inyalo los kode gig mocho?

4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire has devoured both its ends, and the middle of it is burnt. Is it profitable for any work?

Koso ka odire e mach kaka gima liel mi mach owangʼe koni gi koni kendo orewo diere, bende dochak obed gima inyalo tigo gimoro amora?

5 Behold, when it was whole, it was suitable for no work. How much less, when the fire has devoured it, and it has been burnt, will it yet be suitable for any work?”

Ka mokwongo ne oonge tich kane pok gimoro otime, donge en gima tek moloyo mondo olose obed gima nigi tich bangʼ ka mach, osewangʼe kendo orewore?

6 Therefore the Lord GOD says: “As the vine wood amongst the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

“Kuom mano, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Kaka asechiwo yadh mzabibu e dier yiende mag bungu modoko gima ichwakogo mach, e kaka abiro timo ne joma odak Jerusalem.

7 I will set my face against them. They will go out from the fire, but the fire will still devour them. Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them.

Abiro kumogi kata obedo ni gisewuok e mach, to mach pod biro mana wangʼogi. Kendo kinde ma abiro kumogi to unungʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.

8 I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,” says the Lord GOD.

Abiro miyo piny doko kama otwo nikech ok gisebedo jo-ratiro, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho.”
