Ezekiel 15

1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik

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

2 ac fahk, “Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, fuka tuh sak grape uh in wo liki kain sak nukewa saya uh? Ya oasr sripen lahn grape uh liki lahn sak lulap insak uh?

Son of man, What is the vine-tree more than any tree, [or than] a branch which is among the trees of the forest?

3 Ya kom ku in orekmakin fain in orala kutena ma? Ya kom ku in orala mwe sripsrip kac in sang srupusrak mau?

Shall wood be taken of it to do any work? or will [men] take a pin of it to hang any vessel upon it?

4 Ma sefanna ac ku in orek kac, pa in sang tanak sie e ah. Muta luo ah fin firirla ac infulwa ah mulutla, ya kom ac ku in orala kutena ma kac?

Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it suitable for [any] work?

5 Meet liki firiryak ah nuna wangin sripa; ac inge ke firiryak tari ac mulutla, wanginla na pwaye sripa.”

Behold, when it was whole, it was fit for no work: how much less then shall it be fit for [any] work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned?

6 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk: “Oana ke ac utuku fain liki insak uh ac isisyak, ouinge nga fah usla mwet in acn Jerusalem

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 will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

7 ac kalyaelos. Elos kaingkunla sie e uh, a inge sie pac e ac esukulosyak. Ke nga ac kalyaelos, kom ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.

And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from [one] fire, and [another] fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I set my face against them.

8 Elos tia pwaye nu sik, ouinge nga fah orala facl sac in acn mwesisla.” LEUM GOD Fulatlana pa fahk ma inge.

And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.
