< Ezekiyel 15 >
1 Maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
2 “Ɗan mutum, da me itacen kuringa ya fi reshen waɗansu itatuwa kyau a cikin kurmi?
'Son of man, what is the vine-tree more than any tree, the vine branch which grew up among the trees of the forest?
3 An taɓa ɗaukan itacensa an yi wani abu mai amfani? Akan yi maratayi da ita da za a rataya wani abu a kai?
Shall wood be taken thereof to make any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
4 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?
Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire hath devoured both the ends of it, and the midst of it is singed; is it profitable for any work?
5 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?
Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work; how much less, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is singed, shall it yet be meet for any work?
6 “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.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: As the vine-tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so do I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
7 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.
And I will set My face against them; out of the fire are they come forth, and the fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I set My face against them.
8 Zan mai da ƙasar kufai domin sun yi rashin aminci, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.”
And I will make the land desolate, because they have acted treacherously, saith the Lord GOD.'
