Izikeli 15

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

Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],

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

“You human, the wood of a grapevine is certainly not [RHQ] more useful that the branches of the trees in a 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?

No one [RHQ] ever takes a branch of a grapevine and makes anything [useful] from it. No one [RHQ] even makes pegs from them to hang things on.

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

And after a branch of a grapevine is thrown into a fire, and the fire burns both ends and chars/scorches the branch in the middle, will it then be useful for anything?

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?

No; if it was not useful for anything before it was burned, it certainly cannot [made into something] useful after the fire has burned and charred it.

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, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: The wood of grapevines is useful only for fuel in a fire. Similarly, the people who live in [are useless].

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

I will reject [IDM] them. [It will be as though] they have escaped from a fire, but there will still be a fire that will burn them up. And when I punish [EUP] them, you [people who remain alive] will know that I, Yahweh, [have done it].

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 cause your country to become a wasteland because your people have not been loyal [to me. That is what I], Yahweh, the Lord, say.”
