Ezekiel 4
1 “But you, son of man, take a brick for yourself and place it before you. Then carve the city of Jerusalem on it.
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 lay siege against it, and build forts against it. Raise up an assault ramp against it and set camps around it. Place battering rams all around it.
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 Then take for yourself an iron pan and use it as an iron wall between yourself and the city and set your face against it, for it will be under siege, and you are to put the siege against it. This will be a sign 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 Then, lie on your left side and put the sin of the house of Israel on it; you will carry their sin for the number of the days that you lie down against the house of Israel.
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 myself am assigning to you one day to represent each year of their punishment: 390 days! In this way, you will carry the sin 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 When you have completed these days, then lie down a second time on your right side, for you will carry the sin of the house of Judah for forty days. I am assigning to you one day for each 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 Set your face toward Jerusalem that is under siege, and with your arm uncovered 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 For behold! I am placing bonds on you so you will not turn from one side to the other until you have completed the days of your 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 Take for yourself wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt; put them in a single container and make bread for yourself according to the number of the days that you will lie upon your side. For 390 days you will 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 The food you will eat will be by weight, twenty shekels per day, and you will eat it at set times each day.
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 Then you will drink water, measured out to a sixth of a hin, and you will drink it at set times.
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 You will eat it as barley cakes, but you will bake it on excrement of human dung within their sight!”
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 For Yahweh says, “This means that the bread that the people of Israel will eat will be unclean, there among the nations where I will banish 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 But I said, “Alas, Lord Yahweh! I have never been unclean! I have never eaten either anything that died or anything killed by animals, from my youth until now, and foul meat has never entered 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 So he said to me, “Look! I have given you cow manure instead of human dung so you can prepare your bread over that.”
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 He also said to me, “Son of man! Behold! I am breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they will eat bread while rationing it in anxiety and drink water while rationing it in trembling.
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 Because they will lack bread and water, every man will be dismayed at his brother and waste away because of their iniquity.”
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.
