< Ezekiel 4 >
1 “And you, son of man, take a brick for yourself, and you have put it before you, and have carved a city on it—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 have placed a siege against it, and built a fortification against it, and poured out a mound against it, and placed camps against it, indeed, set battering-rams against it all around.
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 you, take an iron pan for yourself, and you have made it a wall of iron between you and the city; and you have prepared your face against it, and it has been in a siege, indeed, you have laid siege against it. It [is] 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 And you, lie on your left side, and you have placed the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; the number of the days that you lie on it, you 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 And I have laid the years of their iniquity on you, the number of days, three hundred and ninety days; and you have borne 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 you have completed these, and have lain on your right side, a second time, and have borne the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days—a day for a year—a day for a year I have appointed to you.
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 to the siege of Jerusalem you prepare your face, and your arm [is] uncovered, and you have prophesied concerning 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 have put thick bands on you, and you do not turn from side to side until your completing the days of your 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 And you, take for yourself wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and spelt, and you have put them in one vessel, and made them for bread for yourself; the number of the days that you are lying on your side—three hundred and ninety days—you eat 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 your food that you eat [is] by weight, twenty shekels daily; from time to time you eat it.
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 you drink water by measure, a sixth part of the hin; from time to time you drink [it].
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 you eat it [as] barley-cake, and it with dung—the filth of man—you bake before their eyes.”
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 YHWH says, “Thus the sons of Israel eat their defiled bread among the nations to where I 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 And I say, “Aah! Lord YHWH, behold, my soul is not defiled, and carcass, and torn thing, I have not eaten from my youth, even until now; nor 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 And He says to me, “See, I have given to you bullock’s dung instead of man’s dung, and you have made your bread by 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 And He says to me, “Son of man, behold, I am breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they have eaten bread by weight and with fear; and water by measure and with astonishment, they drink;
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 so that they lack bread and water, and have been astonished with one another, and been consumed 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.”
