< Jezekiel 4 >

1 And you, son of man, take you a brick, and you shall set it before your face, and shall portray on it the city, [even] Jerusalem.
Na, ko koe hoki, e te tama a te tangata, tikina tetahi pereki mau, whakatakotoria ki tou aroaro, ka tuhituhi ai he pa, ko Hiruharama, ki runga.
2 And you shall besiege it, and build works against it, and throw up a mound round about it, and pitch camps against it, and set up engines round about.
Whakapaea ano taua mea, hanga he taumaihi hei whakapae mona; haupuria ake he pukepuke hei whakapae mona, hanga he nohoanga taua, hei whawhai ki reira, hanga hoki nga mea wawahi mona, a taka noa.
3 And take you to yourself an iron pan, and you shall set it [for] an iron wall between you and the city: and you shall set your face against it, and it shall be in a siege, and you shall besiege it. This is a sign to the children of Israel.
Tikina ano tetahi rino paraharaha mau, whakaturia ake hei taiepa rino ki waenganui ou, o te pa; kia anga atu ano tou mata ki reira, a ka whakapaea a reira, me whakapae hoki e koe. Hei tohu tenei ki te whare o Iharaira.
4 And you shall lie upon your left side, and lay the iniquities of the house of Israel upon it, according to the number of the hundred and fifty days [during] which you shall lie upon it: and you shall bear their iniquities.
Me takoto ano hoki koe ki tou taha maui, ka uta ai i te kino o te whare o Iharaira ki runga ki taua taha: ko tau wahanga i to ratou kino ka rite ki te maha o nga ra i takoto ai koe ki taua taha.
5 For I have appointed you their iniquities for a number of days, for a hundred and ninety days: so you shall bear the iniquities of the house of Israel.
Kua oti hoki i ahau nga tau o ta ratou kino te uta ki runga ki a koe, kei te maha o nga ra te ritenga, ara e toru rau e iwa tekau nga ra; na ka waha e koe te he o te whare o Iharaira.
6 And you shall accomplish this, and [then] shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquities of the house of Juda forty days: I have appointed you a day for a year.
A, ka poto enei i a koe, me takoto hoki koe ki tou taha matau, a ka waha koe i te he o te whare o Hura: ko taku i whakarite ai ki a koe, e wha tekau nga ra, he ra mo te tau, he ra mo te tau.
7 So you shall set your face to the siege of Jerusalem, and shall strengthen your arm, and shall prophesy against it.
Whakaangahia atu hoki tou kanohi ki te whakapaenga o Hiruharama, tahanga kau tou ringa; a ka poropiti koe i te he mo reira.
8 And, behold, I have prepared bonds for you, land you may not turn from your one side to the other, until the days of your siege shall be accomplished.
Nana, ka meatia koe e ahau ki te here, a e kore koe e huri i tetahi taha ou ki tetahi taha ou, kia poto ra ano i a koe ou ra whakapae.
9 Take you also to you wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and bread-corn; and you shall cast them into one earthen vessel, and shall make them into loaves for yourself; and you shall eat them a hundred and ninety days, according to the number of the days [during] which you sleep on your side.
Tikina hoki he witi mau, he parei, he pini, he mirete, he rai, ka maka ki roto ki te oko kotahi, ka hanga i tetahi taro mau; kia rite ki te maha o nga ra e takoto ai koe ki tou taha, e toru rau e iwa tekau nga ra e kainga ai taua mea e koe.
10 And you shall eat your food by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shall you eat them.
Me pauna ano tau kai e kainga ai e koe, kia rua tekau nga hekere i te ra kotahi; me kai e koe i tenei wa, i tenei wa.
11 And you shall drink water by measure, even from time to time you shall drink the sixth part of a hin.
Me mehua ano te wai e inumia e koe; ko te wahi whakaono o te hine, me inu e koe i tenei wa, i tenei wa.
12 And you shall eat them [as] a barley cake: you shall bake them before their eyes in man's dung.
A me kai e koe te kai ano he keke parei, a me tunu taua mea i ta ratou tirohanga ki te paru e puta mai ana i te tangata.
13 And you shall say, Thus says the Lord God of Israel; Thus shall the children of Israel eat unclean things among the Gentiles.
A i ki mai a Ihowa, Ka pena ano te kai a nga tama a Iharaira, i ta ratou taro poke i roto i nga tauiwi e peia atu ai ratou e ahau.
14 Then I said, Not so, Lord God of Israel: surely my soul has not been defiled with uncleanness; nor have I eaten, that which died of itself or was torn of beasts from my birth until now; neither has any corrupt flesh entered into my mouth.
Na ko taku kainga ake, Aue, e te Ariki, e Ihowa! nana, kihai toku wairua i poke; kihai ano ahau i kai i te mea mate maori, i te mea i haea e te kirehe, o toku tamarikitanga ano a mohoa noa nei; kihai ano tetahi kikokiko whakarihariha i tapoko ki roto ki toku mangai.
15 And he said to me, Behold, I have given you dung of oxen instead of man's dung, and you shall prepare your loaves upon it.
Katahi ka mea ia ki ahau, Titiro, kua hoatu e ahau ki a koe te paru kau hei whakarite mo te paru tangata, a ka tunu koe i tau taro ki aua mea.
16 And he said to me, Son of man, behold, I break the support of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight and in lack; and shall drink water by measure, and in a state of ruin:
Na ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, kua oti te whawhati e ahau te tokotoko, ara te taro i Hiruharama; a, ko ta ratou taro e kai ai he mea pauna, i runga ano i te manukanuka; he mea mehua ano te wai, ka inumia e ratou i runga i te ketek ete:
17 that they may lack bread and water; and a man and his brother shall be brought to ruin, and they shall pine away in their iniquities.
He mea kia kore ai he taro, he wai, ma ratou, ketekete iho tetahi ki tetahi, memeha noa iho i runga i to ratou he.
