Ezekiel 15

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

Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

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

Sine èovjeèji, šta je drvo od loze vinove prema svakom drugom drvetu, ili loza vinova prema drveæu u šumi?

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

Uzima li se od nje drvo da se naèini što? uzima li se od nje klin da se objesi o njemu kakav sud?

4 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?

Gle, meæe se u oganj da izgori; kad joj oba kraja sažeže oganj, i sredina joj izgori, hoæe li još biti za što?

5 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?

Gle, dok bijaše cijela, ne mogaše se ništa od nje naèiniti, akamoli æe biti za što kad je oganj proždrije i izgorje.

6 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.

Zato ovako veli Gospod Gospod: kakvo je meðu drvetima šumskim drvo od vinove loze, koje dadoh ognju da ga jede, take æu uèiniti stanovnike Jerusalimske.

7 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.

Jer æu im nasuprot okrenuti lice svoje; kad izidu iz jednoga ognja, drugi æe ih oganj proždrijeti, i poznaæete da sam ja Gospod, kad okrenem lice svoje nasuprot njima.

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

I obratiæu zemlju u pustinju, jer uèiniše nevjeru, govori Gospod Gospod.
