Ezekiel 4
1 [Yahweh also said to me, ] “You human, take a large clay tablet/brick and put it in front of you. Then on the [engrave/draw] on it lines that represent Jerusalem.
Gode da amane sia: i, “Dunu egefe! Laga osoboga hamoi igi (baligi) lale, dia midadi ligisima. Amo da: iya Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade ea fedege ilegesu dedema.
2 [draw figures around it to represent enemy soldiers who will] surround the city. Make mounds around it and a dirt ramp up against the [around the city]. [figures around it that represent] (battering rams/heavy logs that will break though the walls).
Eno dunu da Yelusaleme amoma doagala: mu. Amo olelema: ne, laga osoboga hamoi igi amoga ilegele, gegesu adobo amola gegemusa: moi gasagala: su, amola ha wa: i fisisu, amola logo gagili sali damana ifa damuiga dousosu, amo Yelusaleme sisiga: le, ilegele dedema.
3 Then take an iron pan, and place it [to be] like an iron wall between you [the drawing of] the city. Then turn your face toward the drawing. It will symbolize [enemy troops will] surround the city to attack it. That will be a warning to the Israeli people [MTY].
Gula yaeya lale, amoga dia ilegele dedei amo di ga: le, dogoa bugisima. Ilegele dedei amoma ba: le gusulisima. Fedege agoane, di da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade amoma doagala: lala. Amo da Isala: ili fi ilima dawa: digima: ne fedegele olelesa.
4 Then lie on your left side, and stay like that for 390 days. That [symbolize that the Israeli people will be punished for] their sins; you must lie like that one day for each year during which they will be punished.
Amasea, dia fofadini diasa: ima. Na da di se nabima: ne, Isala: ili fi ilia wadela: i hou dabe dima imunu. Di da eso 390 agoane mae delegili, se nabawane fofadinimusu dialumu. Bai ilia wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, di da se nabimu. Na dima se imunu agoane ilegei. Na da dima eso 390 amoga se imunu. Be Isala: ili fi ilima Na da ode 390 amoga se imunu.
6 After that, lie down again. This time, lie on your right side for 40 days. That [symbolize that the Israeli people will be punished more] for their sins, one day for each [during which they will be punished].
Amo hou dagosea, di bu lobodafadini delegima. Amogai diala, Yuda dunu ilia wadela: i hou dabe lama: ne, eso 40 agoane dialoma. Bai Na da Yuda fi dunu ilima ode 40 amoga se ima: ne ilegei dagoi.
7 Turn your face [the drawing of] Jerusalem and bare your [like a soldier does who prepares to go into a battle] [MTY], and prophesy [what will happen to] the city.
Yelusaleme amoma doagala: be amo noga: le sosodolaloma. Yelusaleme amoma ougiwane lobo usunawele sia: ne igugulaloma. Na da Yelusaleme fi ilima se imunu, amo gasa fili olelelaloma.
8 [You will not be able to move; it will be as though] I have tied you with ropes in order that you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have [symbolizing how many years the city] will be (besieged/surrounded by enemy soldiers).
Na da di mae delegima: ne, la: gilisili dialeawane, Yelusaleme amoma doagala: su baligisia fawane yolesimu.
9 [Before you do that, ] take some wheat and barley, beans, lentils, spelt and millet, and put them in a [storage] jar, and use that to bake [for yourself]. That is what you will eat during the 390 days while you lie on your [left] side.
Waha di da widi, bali, da: iyene, da: iyene agoai eno, amola agoai eno fage, amo lale, gilisili bibiagone, agi ga: gi hamoma. Di da eso 390 amoga, dia lobo fofadini musu dialawane, amo fawane nanoma.
10 You will eat (8 ounces/a small loaf) of bread each day.
Na da di moma: ne, agi 230 gala: me fawane ilegei.
11 [Also] measure out (1.5 pints/0.6 liter) of water to drink each day.
Amola di da hano fonobahadi fawane manu galebe. Di da eso afae ganodini faigelei nabai aduna fawane manu.
12 Eat that bread like you would eat a loaf of barley bread. But use your own dried dung for fuel to bake the bread while people are watching.
Di da dunu iga hafoga: i amoga lalu didili, amo da: iya agi gobele, dunu huluane ba: ma: ne moma.”
13 That will symbolize that the Israeli people will be forced to eat food that is unacceptable to me when they are living in the nations to which I will force them to go.”
Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Amo da dawa: digima: ne agoane olelemusa: hamoi. Na da Isala: ili fi dunu ga fifi asi gala sogega afagogosea, ilia da sema ha: i nasu manu.”
14 Then I said, “No, Yahweh God![Do not force me to do that]! I have never caused myself to become unacceptable to you [by doing anything like that]. From the time when I was young, I have never eaten meat of any [animal] that was found dead or that had been killed by wild animals. And I have never eaten any meat that is unacceptable to you.”
Be na da bu adole i, “Hina Gode Ouligisudafa! Hame mabu! Na da wadela: i ledo hou hamedafa hamosu. Na goi hadiga ganini, na da ohe hi udigili bogoi o ea samaga fai amo ea hu na da hamedafa nasu. Na da sema ledo hamoi ha: i manu hamedafa nasu.”
15 Yahweh replied, “Okay, I will allow you to bake your bread using dried cow manure instead of human [for fuel].”
Amaiba: le, Gode da amane sia: i, “Amai galea, di da amo hou bu fisili, bulamagau iga, amoga lalu didili, dia agi gobema: ne Na da ilegesa.”
16 Then he said to me, “You human, I will cause the supply of food to Jerusalem to be cut off. [Then] the people will eat the small amounts of food and drink the small amounts of [that the government permits them to have], and they will be [very] distressed and anxious as they do that,
Amola E da eno amane sia: i, “Dunu egefe! Na da Yelusaleme dunu ilia ha: i nasu logo hedofamu. Ilia da ha: i manu amola hano fonobahadi fawane enoenoi amoma iabeba: le, ilia da da: i dione amola heawini se nabawane esalumu.
17 because water and food will be very scarce. They will see each other becoming extremely thin, and they will be appalled; [but this will happen] because they are being punished [for the sins that they have committed].”
Ilia agi amola hano amola ebelei dagoi ba: mu. Ilia baligiliwane se nabimu. Ilia wadela: i hou hamobeba: le, geloga: gia: mu.”
