Ezekiel 15
1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
Kalpasanna, immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
2 “You human, the wood of a grapevine is certainly not [RHQ] more useful that the branches of the trees in a forest.
“Anak ti tao, kasano koma a nasaysayaat ti puon ti ubas ngem iti uray ania a kayo nga addaan kadagiti sang-sanga nga adda iti kakaykayoan iti kabakiran?
3 No one [RHQ] ever takes a branch of a grapevine and makes anything [useful] from it. No one [RHQ] even makes pegs from them to hang things on.
Makaala kadi dagiti tattao iti kayo manipud iti puon ti ubas tapno usarenna? Wenno, makaaramidda kadi iti pasok manipud iti daytoy tapno pagibitinanda daytoy iti uray ania?
4 And after a branch of a grapevine is thrown into a fire, and the fire burns both ends and chars/scorches the branch in the middle, will it then be useful for anything?
Saan! No maipuor daytoy iti apuy a kas pangparubrob, ken no rinunoten ti apuy dagiti pungto daytoy kasta met ti tengngana, adda kadi pay la pakausaranna?
5 No; if it was not useful for anything before it was burned, it certainly cannot [made into something] useful after the fire has burned and charred it.
Kitaem! Idi saan pay a napuoran daytoy, awan a pulos ti pakausaranna; isu nga awan duadua nga inton rinunoten ti apuy, awan latta ngarud ti pakausaran daytoy!
6 Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: The wood of grapevines is useful only for fuel in a fire. Similarly, the people who live in [are useless].
Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo: Saan a kas kadagiti kaykayo iti kabakiran, impaayko a kas pangparubrob iti apuy dagiti puon ti ubas; kastoyto met laeng ti aramidek kadagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem.
7 I will reject [IDM] them. [It will be as though] they have escaped from a fire, but there will still be a fire that will burn them up. And when I punish [EUP] them, you [people who remain alive] will know that I, Yahweh, [have done it].
Ta sangoekto ida. Uray makarruarda manipud iti apuy, uramento latta ida ti apuy; isu a maammoanyonto a siak ni Yahweh inton sangoek ida.
8 I will cause your country to become a wasteland because your people have not been loyal [to me. That is what I], Yahweh, the Lord, say.”
Kalpasanna, pagbalinekto a langalang ti daga, gapu ta nagbasolda— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo!”
