Ezekiel 15

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

Maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,

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

“Ɗan mutum, da me itacen kuringa ya fi reshen waɗansu itatuwa kyau a cikin kurmi?

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

An taɓa ɗaukan itacensa an yi wani abu mai amfani? Akan yi maratayi da ita da za a rataya wani abu a kai?

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?

Bayan kuma a jefa ta cikin wuta, wuta kuma ta cinye kowane gefe ta kuma babbaka tsakiyarta, tana da amfani don yin wani abu kuma?

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?

In ba ta da amfanin wani abu sa’ad da take cikakkiya, balle bayan da wuta ta babbake ta, za a iya yin amfani da ita?

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.

“Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa kamar yadda na ba da itacen kuringa a cikin itatuwan kurmi ya zama itacen wuta, haka zan sa mazaunan Urushalima su zama.

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.

Zan yi gāba da su. Ko da yake sun fito daga wuta, wuta za tă cinye su. Kuma sa’ad da na yi gāba da su, za ku san cewa ni ne Ubangiji.

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

Zan mai da ƙasar kufai domin sun yi rashin aminci, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.”
