Ezekiel 4

1 Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it a city, even Jerusalem.

Ko koe foki, “Foha ʻoe tangata, toʻo kiate koe ha makaʻumea, pea tuku ia ʻi ho ʻao, pea tohi ki ai ha fakatātā ki he kolo ko Selūsalema:

2 And lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it. Also set camps against it, and plant battering rams against it round about.

Pea ke kāpui ʻaki ia ʻae tau, pea langa ha kolo ki ai, pea tanu puke ki ai, tuku foki ki ai ʻae nofoʻanga ʻoe tau, pea fokotuʻu takatakai ʻi ai ʻae meʻa teke ʻā.

3 And take thou to thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city. And set thy face toward it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.

Pea ke toʻo foki kiate koe ʻae ukamea lafalafa, pea fokotuʻu ia ko e ʻā ukamea ʻi homo vahaʻa mo e kolo: pea ke fakahanga ho mata ki ai, pea ʻe takatakai ia, pea ko koe te ke tauʻi ia. ʻE hoko eni ko e fakaʻilonga ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli.

4 Moreover lie thou upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it. According to the number of the days that thou shall lie upon it, thou shall bear their iniquity.

Ke ke tokoto foki ki ho potu fakatoʻohema pea hili ki ai ʻae hia ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli! Pea ʻe tatau mo e lau ʻoe ʻaho ʻo hoʻo tokoto ki ai ʻa hoʻo fua ʻenau hia.

5 For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be a number of days to thee, even three hundred and ninety days. So thou shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

He kuo u hili kiate koe ʻae ngaahi taʻu ʻo ʻenau hia ʻo fakatatau ki hono lahi ʻoe ʻaho, ko e ʻaho ʻe tolungeau ma hivangofulu: ko ia te ke fua ʻae hia ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli.

6 And again, when thou have accomplished these, thou shall lie on thy right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days, each day for a year. I have appointed it to thee.

Pea ka ʻosi hoʻo fai ia, ke ke toe tokoto ki ho potu fakatoʻomataʻu, pea te ke fua ʻae hia ʻae fale ʻo Siuta ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu: pea kuo u tuʻutuʻuni ko e ʻaho ʻe taha ko e taʻu ia ʻe taha.

7 And thou shall set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with thine arm uncovered, and thou shall prophesy against it.

Ko ia te ke fakahanga ho mata ki he tauʻi ʻo Selūsalema, pea ʻe fakatelefua ho nima, pea te ke kikite ki ai.

8 And, behold, I lay bands upon thee, and thou shall not turn thee from one side to the other, till thou have accomplished the days of thy siege.

Pea vakai, te u ʻai ʻae haʻi kiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke fetafokiʻaki, kaeʻoua ke ke fakaʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ho taʻu.

9 Also take thou to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread of it, according to the number of the days that thou shall lie upon thy side, even three hundred and ninety days, thou shall eat of it.

“Toʻo foki kiate koe ʻae sito mo e paʻale, mo e piini, mo e leniteli, mo e mileti, pea mo e fitisi, pea ai fakataha ia ki he ipu, mo ke ngaohi mā mei ai, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia te ke tokoto fakatafa ai, te ke kai ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolungeau ma hivangofulu.

10 And thy food which thou shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day. Thou shall eat it from time to time.

Pea te ke kai fakatautau pe hoʻo meʻakai, ko e mamafa ʻoe sikeli ʻe uofulu ki he ʻaho ʻe taha: pea te ke kai vahevahe pe ia.

11 And thou shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin. Thou shall drink from time to time.

‌ʻE fua foki hoʻo vai ki he inu, ko e vahe ono ʻoe hini ʻe taha: pea te ke inu vahevahe pe ia.

12 And thou shall eat it as barley cakes, and thou shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.

Pea te ke kai ia ʻo hangē ko ha foʻi mā paʻale, pea te ke taʻo ʻaki ia ʻae meʻa kovi ʻae tangata, ʻi honau ʻao.”

13 And Jehovah said, Even thus shall the sons of Israel eat their bread unclean among the nations where I will drive them.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻE pehē ʻae kai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻenau mā fakalielia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi Senitaile, ʻaia te u kapusi ʻakinautolu ki ai.”

14 Then I said, Ah lord Jehovah! Behold, my soul has not been polluted. For from my youth up even till now I have not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of beasts, neither has abominable flesh come into my mouth.

Pea naʻaku toki pehē ai, “ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, vakai kuo teʻeki ai fakaʻuliʻi hoku laumālie; he kuo talu ʻeku kei siʻi ʻo aʻu ki heni ʻoku teʻeki te u kai ʻi ha meʻa ʻoku mate mahaki, pe ha meʻa kuo haehae; pea ʻoku teʻeki ai hoko ki hoku ngutu ha meʻakai fakalielia.”

15 Then he said to me, See, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shall prepare thy bread of it.

Pea naʻe toki pehē mai ʻe ia kiate au, “Vakai, ʻe tuku ʻae meʻa kovi ʻae tangata ka te ke teuteu ʻaki hoʻo mā ʻae teʻe pulu.”

16 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they shall eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness, and they shall drink water by measure, and in dismay,

Pea naʻa ne pehē foki kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, vakai te u maumauʻi ʻae tokotoko ʻoe mā ʻi Selūsalema; pea te nau kai mā fakatautau pe, pea ʻi he mamahi: pea te nau inu ʻi he vai kuo fuofua, ʻi he lilika:

17 that they may lack bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.

Koeʻuhi te nau masiva ʻi he mā mo e vai pea te nau fesiofaki ʻi he manavahē, ʻonau fakaʻaʻau ki mui ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau angahala.”
