1 O o haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,

Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 W iilka Aadamow, geedka canabku bal muxuu dhirta kale dheer yahay, amase laanta canabku maxay dhirta kaynta ku taal dheer tahay?

“Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any wood of a branch which is among the trees of the forest?

3 M a qoryaa laga goostaa in shuqul lagu samaysto? Miyaase dadku qodob ka goostaa si ay weel u sudhaan?

Can wood be taken from it to make anything, or can men take a peg from it on which to hang any vessel?

4 B al eeg, xaabo ahaan baa dabka loogu dhex tuuraa, oo dabka ayaa labadiisa madaxba dhammeeya, oo dhexdiisuna way gubataa. Miyuu in shuqul lagu qabsado wax u taraa?

If it has been put into the fire for fuel, and the fire has consumed both of its ends and its middle part has been charred, is it then useful for anything?

5 B al eeg, markuu dhamaa shuqulna waxba uma tarayn, haddaba bal intee buu ka sii liitaa haatan oo uu dab dhammeeyey oo uu gubtay?

Behold, while it is intact, it is not made into anything. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it still be made into anything!

6 S idaas daraaddeed Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Sidii geedka canabka ah oo ku dhex yaal dhirta kaynta, oo aan xaabo ahaan dabka u siiyey, sidaas oo kale ayaan dadka Yeruusaalem deggan u siin doonaa.

Therefore, thus says the Lord God, ‘As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem;

7 O o wejigaygaan u soo jeedin doonaa. Dabkay ka dhex bixi doonaan laakiinse dabku wuu baabbi'in doonaa; oo idinkuna waxaad ogaan doontaan inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay, markaan iyaga wejigayga u jeediyo.

and I set My face against them. Though they have come out of the fire, yet the fire will consume them. Then you will know that I am the Lord, when I set My face against them.

8 O o Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Dalkaan cidla ka dhigi doonaa, maxaa yeelay, iyagu way xadgudbeen.

Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,’” declares the Lord God.
