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.
“Zvino, Mwanakomana womunhu, tora chidhina chevhu, uchiise pamberi pako ugodhirowa Jerusarema pamusoro pacho.
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.
Ipapo ugorikomba: Umise nhare dzokurwa naro, uvake dhunduru revhu rokusvitsa pariri, udzike misasa ugorikomberedza nezvokuparadza nazvo masvingo.
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.
Ipapo utore pani yesimbi, ugoimisa sorusvingo rwesimbi pakati pako iwe neguta ugorinzira chiso chako kwariri. Richakombwa, uye iwe ucharikomba. Ichi chichava chiratidzo kuimba yaIsraeri.
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.
“Ipapo iwe ugovata norutivi rwako rworuboshwe ugoisa chivi cheimba yaIsraeri pamusoro pako. Iwe unofanira kutakura chivi chavo kwamazuva aunovata norutivi rwako.
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.
Ndakakutarira mazuva mamwe chetewo zvakaenzana namakore echivi chavo. Saka uchatakura chivi cheimba yaIsraeri kwamazuva mazana matatu namakumi mapfumbamwe.
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.
“Kana uchinge wapedza izvi, uvatezve pasi, panguva ino, norutivi rwako rworudyi, ugotakura chivi cheimba yaJudha. Ndakakutarira mazuva makumi mana, zuva rimwe pagore roga roga.
7 Set your face toward Jerusalem that is under siege, and with your arm uncovered prophesy against it.
Urinzire chiso chako wakatarira kukombwa kweJerusarema uye noruoko rwako rwakashama uprofite pamusoro paro.
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.
Ndichakusunga netambo kuitira kuti ukonewe kutendeukira kune rumwe rutivi uchibva kune rumwe kusvikira wapedza mazuva okukomba kwako.
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.
“Utore gorosi nebhari, bhinzi nenyemba, mapfunde nesipereti; uzviise mumudziyo wokuchengetera uzvibikire chingwa. Unofanira kuchidya pamazuva mazana matatu namakumi mapfumbamwe wakavata norutivi.
10 The food you will eat will be by weight, twenty shekels per day, and you will eat it at set times each day.
Uyere mashekeri makumi maviri ezvokudya kuti udye zuva rimwe nerimwe uye udye nenguva dzakatarwa.
11 Then you will drink water, measured out to a sixth of a hin, and you will drink it at set times.
Uyezve, uyere chikamu chimwe chete muzvitanhatu chehini yemvura ugoinwa nenguva dzakatarwa.
12 You will eat it as barley cakes, but you will bake it on excrement of human dung within their sight!”
Udye chokudya chakaita sekeke rebhari sapaunoda; uzvibike pamberi pavanhu, uchishandisa ndove yavanhu sehuni dzokubikisa.”
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.”
Jehovha akati, “Nenzira iyi, vanhu veIsraeri vachadya zvokudya zvakasvibiswa pakati pendudzi uko kwandichavadzingira.”
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!”
Ipapo ndakati, “Kwete, Ishe Jehovha! Handina kumbozvisvibisa. Kubva pauduku hwangu kusvikira zvino handina kumbodya chinhu chipi zvacho chakawanikwa chakafa kana chakabvamburwa nezvikara. Hapana nyama yakasvibiswa yakambopinda mumukanwa mangu.”
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.”
Iye akati, “Zvakanaka, ndichakutendera kuti ubike chingwa chako nendove yemombe pachinzvimbo chetsvina yavanhu.”
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.
Zvino akazoti kwandiri, “Mwanakomana womunhu, ndichamisa kupiwa kwezvokudya muJerusarema. Vanhu vachadya zvokudya zvakayerwa vachifunganya uye vachanwa mvura yakayerwa vapererwa,
17 Because they will lack bread and water, every man will be dismayed at his brother and waste away because of their iniquity.”
nokuti zvokudya nemvura zvichashayikwa. Mumwe achavhunduka achiona mumwe uye vachaonda nokuda kwechivi chavo.
