Ezekiel 15

1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

2 'Son of man, What is the vine-tree more than any tree? The vine-branch that hath been, Among trees of the forest?

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

3 Is wood taken from it to use for work? Do they take of it a pin to hang any vessel on it?

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

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?

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 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?

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, 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.

“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 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.

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 And I have made the land a desolation, Because they have committed a trespass, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'

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