Ezekiel 15

1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

Un Tā Kunga vārds notika uz mani sacīdams:

2 'Son of man, What is the vine-tree more than any tree? The vine-branch that hath been, Among trees of the forest?

Cilvēka bērns! Vai vīna koks pārāks par citu koku, vīna stīga, kas ir starp meža kokiem!

3 Is wood taken from it to use for work? Do they take of it a pin to hang any vessel on it?

Vai no tā ņem lietas koku, ko taisīt? Vai no tā ņem vadzi, pie tā pakārt kādu rīku?

4 Lo, to the fire it hath been given for fuel, Its two ends hath the fire eaten, And its midst hath been scorched! Is it profitable for work?

Redzi, ugunij to nodod par barību; uguns ēd viņa abus galus un apsvilina viņa vidu; vai tas vēl der kādai lietai?

5 Lo, in its being perfect it is not used for work, How much less, when fire hath eaten of it, And it is scorched, Hath it been used yet for work?

Redzi, kad tas vēl bija vesels, tad tas nederēja nekādai lietai, ne nu vēl, kad uguns to ēdis un apsvilinājis, vai no tā vēl ko var taisīt?

6 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: As the vine-tree among trees of the forest, That I have given to the fire for fuel, So I have given the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Tāpēc tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: tā kā vīna koku starp meža kokiem Es nododu ugunij, lai to aprij, tā Es nodošu Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājus.

7 And I have set My face against them, From the fire they have gone forth, And the fire doth consume them, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My setting My face against them.

Un Es pret tiem griezīšu Savu vaigu; no uguns tie iznākuši un uguns tos aprīs, lai jūs atzīstat, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, kad Es pret tiem griežu Savu vaigu.

8 And I have made the land a desolation, Because they have committed a trespass, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'

Un Es darīšu to zemi par posta vietu, tāpēc ka tie visi no Manis atkāpušies, saka Tas Kungs Dievs.
