< 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.
A OOE, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, e lawe oe i pohaku ula nou, a e waiho iho ia imua ou, ae kakau iho oe i ke kulanakauhale malalo, o Ierusalema hoi;
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).
A hoopuni ku e ia ia, a e hana i pakaua imua ona, a e hana i puu hoi e ku e ia ia, a e hoomoana ku e ia ia, a e hoonoho i na hipakaue wawahi e ku e ia ia a puni.
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].
A e lawe oe i pa hao nou, a e waiho iho i paku hao iwaho iwaena ou a me ke kulanakauhale; a e hooku e oe i kou wahi maka ia ia, a hoomoana ku e ia ia, a e hoonoho oe i ke kaua ku e ia ia; he hoailona ia no ka ohana a Iseraela.
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.
A e moe iho oe ma kou aoao hema, a e kau i ka hewa o ka ohana a Iseraela maluna iho; e like me ka helu'na o na la e moe ai oe ma ia, e hali ai oe i ko lakou hewa.
5
No ka mea, ua kau aku maluna iho ou i na makahiki o ko lakou hewa, mamuli o ka helu ana o na la ekolu haueri a me kanaiwa; pela e hali ai oe i ka hewa o ka ohana a Iseraela.
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].
Aia hoopau ae oe ia mau mea, e moe hou oe ma kou aoao akau, a e hali oe i ka hewa o ka ohana a Iuda i hookahi kanaha la: ua hoomaopopo au nou i hookahi la no ka makahiki hookahi.
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.
Nolaila e hooku pono oe i kou wahi maka i ka hoopuni ana ia Ierusalema, a e weheia kou lima, a e wanana ku e oe nona.
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).
Aia hoi, e kau aku au i na mea o paa ai maluna ou, aole oe e kaa ae mai kekahi aoao a i kekahi aoao, a hoopau oe i na la o ka hoopuni ana.
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.
E lawe hoi oe nou i palaoa, a me ka bale, a me na papapa, a me na lenetila a me ka mileta, a me ka peleta, a e hahao ia mau mea iloko o ka ipu hookahi, a e hana oe ia i berena nau, ma ka helu'na o na la e moe ai oe ma kou aoao, i na la ekolu haneri a me kanaiwa e ai ai oe ia mea.
10 You will eat (8 ounces/a small loaf) of bread each day.
A o kau ai au e ai ai, ma ke kaupaonaia, iwakalua sekela i ka la hookahi; i kela manawa, i keia manawa e at ai oe ia.
11 [Also] measure out (1.5 pints/0.6 liter) of water to drink each day.
E inu hoi i ka wai ma ko ana ana, o ka hapa ono o ka hina; i kela manawa i keia manawae e inu ai oe.
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.
E ai hoi oe ia me he mau papa bale la, a e pulehu oe ia me ka lepo i puka ae mailoko ae o kanaka, imua o ko lakou alo.
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.”
I mai la hoi o Iehova, Pela e ai ai na mamo a Iseraela i ka lakou berena haumia iwaena o na lahuikanaka, kahi e kipaku aku ai au ia lakou.
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.”
Alaila olelo aku au, Auwe, e Iehova ka Haku! oiaio, aole i hoohaumiaia ko'u uhane; no ka mea, mai ko'u wa kamalii mai a hiki i keia manawa, aole au i ai i kauwahi o ka mea i make wale, aole hoi o ka mea i haehaeia e na holoholona, aole hoi i komo ka io haumia iloko o kuu waha.
15 Yahweh replied, “Okay, I will allow you to bake your bread using dried cow manure instead of human [for fuel].”
Alaila olelo mai la oia ia'u, Eia hoi, aia haawi au i ka lepo bipi no ka lepo kanaka, a e hoomakaukau oe i kau berena me ia.
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,
A olelo hou mai no oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, eia hoi e uhaki au i ke kookoo o ka berena maloko o Ierusalema; a e ai lakou i ka berena ma ke kaupaona ana, a e inu hoi lakou i ka wai ma ke ana ana, a me ka pilihua.
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].”
I nele lakou i ka berena ole a me ka wai ole, a e pilihua kekahi me kekahi, a e olala ae no hoi lakou no ko lakou hewa.
