Izikeli 15

1 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasmi'ne,

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 Vahe'mofo mofavremoka, hagagema hu'nea waini rampa'amo'a zafafi zafaramimofo rampa'a agaterenefi?

Son of man, what is the vine-tree more than any branching tree which is among the trees of the woods?

3 Hagi ana waini nofimofo ramparetira eri'za mago'a knare'zana tro nehu'za, mago'a eri'za kavoma hantinte'zana trora nehazafi?

Will its wood be used for any work? do men make of it a pin for hanging any vessel on?

4 Hagi ana waini rampama tevefima kresageno'ma urefa erefa'ama nereno amunoma'ama tegege vazintesiama'a eri'za mago'azana trora hugahazafi?

See, it is put into the fire for burning: the fire has made a meal of its two ends and the middle part of it is burned; is it good for any work?

5 Hagi tevema ore'nere'ma eri'za mago'a zama tro huga'ma osu'nea waini rampa, inankna hu'za tevemo'ma tegege vazinte'nesiama'a eri'za mago'azana trora hugahaze?

Truly, before it was cut down, it was not used for any purpose: how much less, when the fire has made a meal of it and it is burned, will it be made into anything?

6 E'ina hu'negu Anumzana Mikozama Kegavama Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Waini teve rampama zafafi tevenema eri haviama hu'na tevema kroaza hu'na Jerusalemi kumapi vahera namefi huzamigahue.

For this cause the Lord has said: Like the vine-tree among the trees of the woods which I have given to the fire for burning, so will I give the people of Jerusalem.

7 Hagi namefi huzminenkeno tevefinti atre'za atiramigahazanagi, ete tevefinke kasagegahaze. E'ina hanugeta Nagrikura Ra Anumza mani'ne huta keta antahita hugahaze.

And my face will be turned against them; and though they have come out of the fire they will be burned up by it; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord when my face is turned against them.

8 Nagra mopazmia eri havizantfa hugahue. Na'ankure zamagra Nagrira tamage hu'za namagera onte'naze huno Ra Anumzana Mikozama Kegava Hu'nea Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

And I will make the land a waste because they have done evil, says the Lord.
