Ezekiel 15

Seyè a pale avè m' ankò: Li di m' konsa:

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

-Nonm o! Kisa bwa pye rezen an genyen ki fè l' pi bon pase bwa tout lòt pyebwa ou ka jwenn nan rak?

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

Eske li ka ba ou bwa pou fè anyen? Eske yo ka fè pikèt kwòk avè l' pou pandye bagay?

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

Li ka sèvi pou limen dife ase. Dife a boule de bout li yo ansanm ak mitan an. Apre sa, ou pa ka fè anyen avè l' ankò.

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?

Li pa t' ankò boule a, yo te tou pa ka fè anyen avè l'. Koulye a dife a fin boule l', se pi rèd ankò.

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?

Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: Menm jan yo pran yon bwa pye rezen nan mitan yon rakbwa, yo jete l' nan dife pou boule l', se sa menm mwen pral fè ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo.

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.

M'ap kenbe tèt ak yo. Yo te chape anba dife a yon fwa, men se dife k'ap boule yo. Lè m'a kenbe tèt ak yo, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.

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.

Yo twonpe m' tankou yon fanm k'ap twonpe mari l'. Se poutèt sa m'ap fè peyi a tounen yon dezè. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.

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