Книга пророка Иезекииля 15

1 И бысть слово Господне ко мне глаголя:

And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

2 сыне человечь, что было бы древо лозное от всех древес гроздных, сущих во древесех дубравных?

“Son of man, What is the vine-tree more than any tree? The vine-branch that has been, Among trees of the forest?

3 Аще возмут от него древо, еже сотворити дело? И аще возмут кол от него, еже обесити на нем кий либо сосуд?

Is wood taken from it to use for work? Do they take a pin of it to hang any vessel on it?

4 Разве еже огневи предастся на потребление, летнее очищение его потребляет огнь, и изчезает до конца: еда потребно будет на дело?

Behold, it has been given to the fire for fuel, The fire has eaten its two ends, And its midst has been scorched! Is it profitable for work?

5 И еще целу ему сущу не будет на дело, кольми паче аще огнь е попалит до конца, будет ли на дело потом?

Behold, in its being perfect it is not used for work, How much less when fire has eaten of it, And it is scorched, Has it been used yet for work?”

6 Сего ради рцы: сице глаголет Господь Бог: якоже лоза виноградная во древех дубравных, юже дах на потребление огневи, тако дам живущыя во Иерусалиме:

Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “As the vine-tree among trees of the forest, That I have given to the fire for fuel, So I have given the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

7 и дам лице Мое на ня, от огня изыдут, и огнь пояст я: и уведят, яко Аз Господь, егда утвержду лице Мое на них:

And I have set My face against them, They have gone forth from the fire, And the fire consumes them, And you have known that I [am] YHWH, In My setting My face against them.

8 и дам землю в пагубу, зане впадоша в грех, глаголет Адонаи Господь.

And I have made the land a desolation, Because they have committed a trespass,” A declaration of Lord YHWH!
