以西结书 15

1 耶和华的话临到我说：

And the word of the Lord was maad to me,

2 “人子啊，葡萄树比别样树有什么强处？葡萄枝比众树枝有什么好处？

and he seide, Sone of man, what schal be don to the tre of a vyne, of alle the trees of woodis, that ben among the trees of woodis?

3 其上可以取木料做什么工用，可以取来做钉子挂什么器皿吗？

Whether tymbre schal be takun therof, that werk be maad? ether shal a stake be maad therof, that ony vessel hange ther onne?

4 看哪，已经抛在火中当作柴烧，火既烧了两头，中间也被烧了，还有益于工用吗？

Lo! it is youun in to mete; fier wastide euer eithir part therof, and the myddis therof is dryuun in to deed sparcle; whether it schal be profitable to werk?

5 完全的时候尚且不合乎什么工用，何况被火烧坏，还能合乎什么工用吗？”

Yhe, whanne it was hool, it was not couenable to werk; hou myche more whanne fier hath deuourid, and hath brent it, no thing of werk schal be maad therof?

6 所以，主耶和华如此说：“众树以内的葡萄树，我怎样使它在火中当柴，也必照样待耶路撒冷的居民。

Therfor the Lord God seith thes thingis, As the tre of a vyne is among the trees of woodis, which Y yaf to fier to deuoure, so Y yaf the dwelleris of Jerusalem,

7 我必向他们变脸；他们虽从火中出来，火却要烧灭他们。我向他们变脸的时候，你们就知道我是耶和华。

and Y schal sette my face ayens hem. Thei schulen go out of the fier, and fier schal waaste hem; and ye schulen wite, that Y am the Lord, whanne Y schal sette my face ayens hem,

8 我必使地土荒凉，因为他们行事干犯我。这是主耶和华说的。”

and schal yyue the lond with out weie and desolat, for thei weren trespassours, seith the Lord God.
