< Ezekiel 15 >
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
2 'Son of man, What is the vine-tree more than any tree? The vine-branch that hath been, Among trees of the forest?
“Hlang capa, duup kah thing dongah thingluei aka om misur thing te thing boeih lakah metlam a om?
3 Is wood taken from it to use for work? Do they take of it a pin to hang any vessel on it?
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, to the fire it hath been given for fuel, Its two ends hath the fire eaten, And its midst hath been scorched! Is it profitable for 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, in its being perfect it is not used for work, How much less, when fire hath eaten of it, And it is scorched, Hath it been used yet for 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 said the Lord Jehovah: As the vine-tree among trees of the forest, That I have given to the fire for fuel, So I have given 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 And I have set My face against them, From the fire they have gone forth, And the fire doth consume them, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In 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 And I have made the land a desolation, Because they have committed a trespass, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'
boekoeknah la boe a koek uh dongah khohmuen te khopong ka khueh ni. He tah ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni,” a ti.
