Ezekiel 15

耶和华的话临到我说：

yē hé huá de huà lín dào wǒ shuō ：

The LORD’s word came to me, saying,

「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？

「 rén zǐ a ， pú táo shù bǐ bié yàng shù yǒu shén me qiáng chù ？ pú táo zhī bǐ zhòng shù zhī yǒu shén me hǎo chù ？

“Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest?

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？

qí shàng kě yǐ qǔ mù liào zuò shén me gōng yòng ， kě yǐ qǔ lái zuò dīng zi guà shén me qì mǐn ma ？

Will wood be taken of it to make anything? Will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel on it?

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？

kàn nǎ ， yǐ jīng pāo zài huǒ zhōng dàng zuò chái shāo ， huǒ jì shāo le liǎng tóu ， zhōng jiān yě bèi shāo le ， hái yǒu yì yú gōng yòng ma ？

Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire has devoured both its ends, and the middle of it is burned. Is it profitable for any work?

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？」

wán quán de shí hòu shàng qiě bù hé hū shén me gōng yòng ， hé kuàng bèi huǒ shāo huài ， hái néng hé hū shén me gōng yòng ma ？」

Behold, when it was whole, it was suitable for no work. How much less, when the fire has devoured it, and it has been burned, will it yet be suitable for any work?”

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。

suǒ yǐ ， zhǔ yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō ：「 zhòng shù yǐ nèi de pú táo shù ， wǒ zěn yàng shǐ tā zài huǒ zhōng dāng chái ， yě bì zhào yàng dài yē lù sā lěng de jū mín 。

Therefore the Lord GOD says: “As the vine wood among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

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。

wǒ bì xiàng tā men biàn liǎn ； tā men suī cóng huǒ zhōng chū lái ， huǒ què yào shāo miè tā men 。 wǒ xiàng tā men biàn liǎn de shí hòu ， nǐ men jiù zhī dào wǒ shì yē hé huá 。

I will set my face against them. They will go out from the fire, but the fire will still devour them. Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them.

我必使地土荒凉，因为他们行事干犯我。这是主耶和华说的。」

wǒ bì shǐ dì tǔ huāng liáng ， yīn wèi tā men xíng shì gān fàn wǒ 。 zhè shì zhǔ yē hé huá shuō de 。」

I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,” says the Lord GOD.
