< Ezekiel 4 >

1 And thou, O son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee: and draw upon it the plan of the city of Jerusalem.
“Yaa ilma namaa, gabatee suphee tokko fuudhii fuula kee dura kaaʼiitii kaartaa magaalaa Yerusaalem irratti kaasi.
2 And lay siege against it, and build forts, and cast up a mount, and set a camp against it, and place battering rams round about it.
Ergasii waan ittiin marsan itti ijaari; dallaa dhagaatiin ishee marsi; kaabii itti naannessii tuuli; waan ittiin dallaa dhagaa jigsanis itti marsii kaaʼi.
3 And take unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face resolutely against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it: it is a sign to the house of Israel.
Eelee sibiilaa fuudhiitii akka dallaa sibiilaatti siʼii fi magaalattii gidduu dhaabi; fuula kees gara isheetti deebifadhu; magaalattiin ni marfamti; atis ishee marsita. Kunis mana Israaʼeliif mallattoo ni taʼa.
4 And thou shalt sleep upon thy left side, and shalt lay the iniquities of the house of Israel upon it, according to the number of the days that thou shalt sleep upon it, and thou shalt take upon thee their iniquity.
“Ergasii cinaacha bitaatiin ciisiitii cubbuu mana Israaʼel of irra kaaʼi. Guyyaa cinaacha keetiin ciifte sana hundas ati cubbuu isaanii ni baatta.
5 And I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days three hundred and ninety days: and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
Ani baayʼina waggoota isaan itti cubbuu hojjetan sanaa akka guyyootaatti ramadee siif kenneera. Kanaafuu ati cubbuu mana Israaʼel guyyaa 390 ni baatta.
6 And when thou hast accomplished this, thou shalt sleep again upon thy right side, and thou shalt take upon thee the iniquity of the house of Juda forty days: a day for it year, yea, a day for a year I have appointed to thee.
“Ati erga waan kana fixxee booddee amma illee ciisi; yeroo kana immoo cinaacha kee kan mirgaatiin ciisiitii cubbuu mana Yihuudaa baadhu. Anis tokkoo tokkoo waggaatiif guyyaa tokko tokko ramadee, guyyaa 40 siif kenneera.
7 And thou shalt turn thy face to the siege of Jerusalem, and thy arm shall be stretched out: and thou shalt prophesy against it.
Fuula kee gara marfama Yerusaalemitti deebifadhuutii irree qullaadhaan isheetti raajii dubbadhu.
8 Behold I have encompassed thee with bands: and thou shalt not turn thyself from one side to the other, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.
Hamma ati guyyoota marfama keetii fixattutti akka ati cinaacha tokko irraa gara cinaacha kaaniitti hin garagalleef ani funyoodhaan sin hidha.
9 And take to thee wheat and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side: three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
“Qamadii fi garbuu, baaqelaa fi misira, bisingaa fi honborii fuudhii okkotee keessa kaaʼadhuutii ittiin buddeena tolfadhu. Buddeena kanas yeroo guyyoota 390 cinaacha keetiin ciiftutti nyaatta.
10 And thy meat that thou shalt eat, shall be in weight twenty staters a day: from time to time thou shalt eat it.
Ati akka guyyaa guyyaan nyaattuuf nyaata saqilii digdama madaali; isas yeroo murteeffametti nyaadhu.
11 And thou shalt drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time thou shalt drink it,
Akkasuma bishaan safartuu iinii tokko harka jaʼa keessaa harka tokko safariitii yeroo murteeffametti dhugi.
12 And thou shalt eat it as barley bread baked under the ashes: and thou shalt cover it, in their sight, with the dung that cometh out of a man.
Nyaata sanas akkuma Maxinoo garbuu nyaattutti nyaadhu; isas udaan namaa bobeesiitii Maxinoo tolchi.”
13 And the Lord said: So shall the children of Israel Beat their bread all filthy among the nations whither I will cast them out.
Waaqayyos “Haala kanaan ijoolleen Israaʼel saboota ani itti isaan bittinneessu keessatti nyaata xuraaʼaa nyaatu” jedhe.
14 And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God, behold my soul hath not been defiled, and from my infancy even till now, I have not eaten any thing that died of itself, or was torn by beasts, and no unclean flesh hath entered into my mouth.
Anis akkanan jedhe; “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa akkana miti! Ani takkumaa of xureessee hin beeku. Ijoollummaa kootii jalqabee hamma ammaatti takkumaa waan ofiin duʼe yookaan waan bineensi ajjeese nyaadhee hin beeku. Foon qulqulluu hin taʼin gonkumaa afaan koo seenee hin beeku.”
15 And he said to me: Behold I have given thee neat’s dung for man’s dung, and thou shalt make thy bread therewith.
Innis, “Kun gaarii dha; ani akka ati qooda udaan namaatiin buddeena kee tolfattu akka dikee saʼaatiin tolfattu siifin eeyyama” naan jedhe.
16 And he said to me: Son of man: Behold, I will break in pieces the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care: and they shall drink water by measure, and in distress.
Innis ittuma fufee akkana naan jedhe: “Yaa ilma namaa ani madda nyaata Yerusaalem nan gogsa; uummanni nyaata safarame yaaddoodhaan nyaata; bishaan safarames sodaadhaan dhuga;
17 So that when bread and water fail, every man may fall against his brother, and they may pine away in their iniquities.
hanqinni midhaaniitii fi bishaanii ni jiraataatii. Isaanis naasuudhaan wal ilaalu; sababii cubbuu isaaniitiinis ni badu.
