Ezekiel 15

NEW JERUSALEM	VULGATA
1 The word of Yahweh was addressed to me as follows:	1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens :
2 Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than wood from the branch of a forest tree?	2 Fili hominis, quid fiet de ligno vitis, ex omnibus lignis nemorum quæ sunt inter ligna silvarum ?
3 Is its wood used for making anything? Are pegs on which to hang things made from it?	3 numquid tolletur de ea lignum ut fiat opus, aut fabricabitur de ea paxillus ut dependeat in eo quodcumque vas ?
4 There it is, thrown on the fire for fuel. The fire burns off both ends; the middle is charred; can it be keptfor anything now?	4 Ecce igni datum est in escam : utramque partem ejus consumpsit ignis, et medietas ejus redacta est in favillam : numquid utile erit ad opus ?
5 While it was intact, you could make nothing with it; burned and charred, is it any more useful now?	5 Etiam cum esset integrum, non erat aptum ad opus : quanto magis cum illud ignis devoraverit et combusserit, nihil ex eo fiet operis ?
6 So, the Lord Yahweh says this: As the wood of the vine among the forest trees, which I have thrownon the fire for fuel, so shal I treat the inhabitants of Jerusalem.	6 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Quomodo lignum vitis inter ligna silvarum, quod dedi igni ad devorandum, sic tradam habitatores Jerusalem.
7 I shal set my face against them. They have escaped one fire, but fire wil devour them yet. And youwil know that I am Yahweh, when I set my face against them.	7 Et ponam faciem meam in eos : de igne egredientur, et ignis consumet eos : et scietis quia ego Dominus, cum posuero faciem meam in eos,
8 I shal reduce the country to a desert, because of their infidelity- declares the Lord Yahweh.	8 et dedero terram inviam et desolatam, eo quod prævaricatores extiterint, dicit Dominus Deus.
