Yexesqeel 15

1 Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,

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

2 Wiilka Aadamow, geedka canabku bal muxuu dhirta kale dheer yahay, amase laanta canabku maxay dhirta kaynta ku taal dheer tahay?

“Son of man, what can be made from the stalk of a vine, compared to all the plants of the woods that are among the trees of the forests?

3 Ma qoryaa laga goostaa in shuqul lagu samaysto? Miyaase dadku qodob ka goostaa si ay weel u sudhaan?

Can any wood be taken from it, so that it may be made into a work, or formed into a peg so as to hang some kind of vessel upon it?

4 Bal eeg, xaabo ahaan baa dabka loogu dhex tuuraa, oo dabka ayaa labadiisa madaxba dhammeeya, oo dhexdiisuna way gubataa. Miyuu in shuqul lagu qabsado wax u taraa?

Behold, it is used in the fire as fuel. The fire consumes both its ends; and its middle is reduced to ashes. So how can it be useful for any work?

5 Bal eeg, markuu dhamaa shuqulna waxba uma tarayn, haddaba bal intee buu ka sii liitaa haatan oo uu dab dhammeeyey oo uu gubtay?

Even when it was whole, it was unsuitable for a work. How much more so, when fire has devoured it and burned it up, will nothing of it be useful?

6 Sidaas daraaddeed Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Sidii geedka canabka ah oo ku dhex yaal dhirta kaynta, oo aan xaabo ahaan dabka u siiyey, sidaas oo kale ayaan dadka Yeruusaalem deggan u siin doonaa.

Therefore, thus says the Lord God: Like the stalk of the vine among the trees of the forests, which I have given to be devoured by fire, so will I deliver the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

7 Oo wejigaygaan u soo jeedin doonaa. Dabkay ka dhex bixi doonaan laakiinse dabku wuu baabbi'in doonaa; oo idinkuna waxaad ogaan doontaan inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay, markaan iyaga wejigayga u jeediyo.

And I will set my face against them. They will go away from fire, and yet fire will consume them. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have set my face against them,

8 Oo Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Dalkaan cidla ka dhigi doonaa, maxaa yeelay, iyagu way xadgudbeen.

and when I will have made their land impassable and desolate. For they have stood forth as transgressors, says the Lord God.”
