Ezekiel 4
1 Thou therefore O son of man Take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, —and portray thereon a 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 Then shalt thou lay siege against it And build up against it a siege-wall And cast up against it, a mound, — And set against it camps, And place against it battering-rams, 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 Thou, therefore take thee a pan of iron, and set it for a wall of iron, between thee and the city, —then shalt thou direct thy face against it and it shall come into siege and thou shalt lay siege to it, a sign, shall it be to the house 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 Thou, therefore lie thou on thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it, — during the number of the days which thou shalt lie thereon, shalt thou bear their punishment.
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 I therefore have appointed thee the years of their punishment, by the number of days a hundred and ninety days, —so shalt thou bear the iniquity 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 when thou hast ended these, then shalt thou lie, on thy right side. a second time, and shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah, — forty days, one day for each year, have I appointed thee.
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 Thus then unto the siege of Jerusalem, shalt thou direct thy face, with thine arm made bare, —so shalt thou 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 lo! I have laid upon thee-bands, —and thou shalt not turn thee from thy one side to thine other, until thou have ended the days of thy siege.
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 Thou, therefore, take thee wheat and barley and peas and lentils and millet and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make them ready for thee as bread, —during the number of days which thou art lying on thy side. a hundred and ninety days, shalt thou eat it;
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 thy food which thou shalt eat shall be by weight twenty shekels a day, — from time to time, shalt thou eat it;
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 water by measure, shalt thou drink the sixth part of a hin, -from time to time shalt thou drink;
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 as a barley cake, shalt thou eat it, —and the same with dung proceeding from man, shalt thou bake, before their eyes.
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 Then said Yahweh, In like manner, shall the sons of Israel eat their bread defiled, —among the nations whither I will drive them.
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 said, I, Ah! My Lord. Yahweh, lo! my person, hath not been defiled: neither of what hath died of itself nor of what hath been torn in pieces: have I eaten, from my youthful days even unto now, neither hath come into my mouth the flesh of a foul thing.
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 So then he said unto me, See I have granted thee cow’s dung for man’s dung, —and thou shalt prepare thy bread thereupon.
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 unto me, Son of man Behold me! breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, So shall they eat bread by weight and with anxious care, And water by measure, and in astonishment, shall they drink:
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 be astonished one with another, and pine away in their punishment.
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.
