Ezekiel 15

وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلاَمُ الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً:

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

«يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، مَاذَا يَكُونُ عُودُ الْكَرْمِ فَوْقَ كُلِّ عُودٍ أَوْ فَوْقَ الْقَضِيبِ الَّذِي مِنْ شَجَرِ الْوَعْرِ؟

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

هَلْ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ عُودٌ لِاصْطِنَاعِ عَمَل مَّا، أَوْ يَأْخُذُونَ مِنْهُ وَتَدًا لِيُعَلَّقَ عَلَيْهِ إِنَاءٌ مَّا؟

Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?

هُوَذَا يُطْرَحُ أَكْلاً لِلنَّارِ. تَأْكُلُ النَّارُ طَرَفَيْهِ وَيُحْرَقُ وَسَطُهُ. فَهَلْ يَصْلُحُ لِعَمَل؟

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 meet for any work?

هُوَذَا حِينَ كَانَ صَحِيحًا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَصْلُحُ لِعَمَل مَّا، فَكَمْ بِالْحَرِيِّ لاَ يَصْلُحُ بَعْدُ لِعَمَل إِذْ أَكَلَتْهُ النَّارُ فَاحْتَرَقَ؟

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

« لِذلِكَ هكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: مِثْلَ عُودِ الْكَرْمِ بَيْنَ عِيدَانِ الْوَعْرِ الَّتِي بَذَلْتُهَا أَكْلاً لِلنَّارِ، كَذلِكَ أَبْذُلُ سُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

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.

وَأَجْعَلُ وَجْهِي ضِدَّهُمْ. يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ نَارٍ فَتَأْكُلُهُمْ نَارٌ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ حِينَ أَجْعَلُ وَجْهِي ضِدَّهُمْ.

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.

وَأَجْعَلُ الأَرْضَ خَرَابًا لأَنَّهُمْ خَانُوا خِيَانَةً، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».

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