Izikeli 15

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

And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:

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

Son of man, What can the vine-tree be more than any other tree, —any branch which hath been found among the trees of the forest?

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

Shall there be taken from it wood, to be made into any work? Or will men take therefrom a peg, to hang thereon any vessel?

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

Lo! into the fire, it is given up for fuel, — The two ends thereof, doth the fire devour, And the middle thereof is charred, Is it fit 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?

Lo! while it was yet whole, it could not be made into any work, — how much less when! the fire hath devoured it. and it is charred, can it still be made into any work?

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.

Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, As a vine-tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given up to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants 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.

Therefore will I set my face against them, Out of one fire, have they come forth But another fire, shall devour them, —So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh, by my setting my face 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.

I will therefore give up the land as a desolation, —because they have committed treachery, Declareth My Lord., Yahweh.
