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 is the vine-tree more than any tree, [or than] a branch which is 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 wood be taken of it to do any work? or will [men] take a pin of it to hang any 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 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 Bal eeg, markuu dhamaa shuqulna waxba uma tarayn, haddaba bal intee buu ka sii liitaa haatan oo uu dab dhammeeyey oo uu gubtay?

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

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