Ezekiel 15
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
1耶和華的話臨到我說：
2'Son of man, what is the vine-tree more than any tree, the vine branch which grew up among the trees of the forest?
2「人子啊，葡萄樹比別樣樹有甚麼強處？葡萄枝比眾樹枝有甚麼好處？
3Shall wood be taken thereof to make any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
3其上可以取木料做甚麼工用，可以取來做釘子掛甚麼器皿嗎？
4Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire hath devoured both the ends of it, and the midst of it is singed; is it profitable for any work?
4看哪，已經拋在火中當作柴燒，火既燒了兩頭，中間也被燒了，還有益於工用嗎？
5Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work; how much less, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is singed, shall it yet be meet for any work?
5完全的時候尚且不合乎甚麼工用，何況被火燒壞，還能合乎甚麼工用嗎？」
6Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: As the vine-tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so do I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
6所以，主耶和華如此說：「眾樹以內的葡萄樹，我怎樣使它在火中當柴，也必照樣待 耶路撒冷 的居民。
7And I will set My face against them; out of the fire are they come forth, and the fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I set My face against them.
7我必向他們變臉；他們雖從火中出來，火卻要燒滅他們。我向他們變臉的時候，你們就知道我是耶和華。
8And I will make the land desolate, because they have acted treacherously, saith the Lord GOD.'
8我必使地土荒涼，因為他們行事干犯我。這是主耶和華說的。」
