Yexesqeel 15

1 Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,

And the word of Yahweh came unto 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 the vine-tree be more than any other tree, —any branch which hath been found among the trees of the forest?

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

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 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?

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

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 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, 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 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.

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

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