< Ezekiel 4 >

1 Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, [even] Jerusalem;
“Yaa ilma namaa, gabatee suphee tokko fuudhii fuula kee dura kaaʼiitii kaartaa magaalaa Yerusaalem irratti kaasi.
2 And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set [battering] rams against it on every side.
Ergasii waan ittiin marsan itti ijaari; dallaa dhagaatiin ishee marsi; kaabii itti naannessii tuuli; waan ittiin dallaa dhagaa jigsanis itti marsii kaaʼi.
3 Moreover take thou to thee an iron pan, and set it [for] a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This [shall be] a sign to the house of Israel.
Eelee sibiilaa fuudhiitii akka dallaa sibiilaatti siʼii fi magaalattii gidduu dhaabi; fuula kees gara isheetti deebifadhu; magaalattiin ni marfamti; atis ishee marsita. Kunis mana Israaʼeliif mallattoo ni taʼa.
4 Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: [according] to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.
“Ergasii cinaacha bitaatiin ciisiitii cubbuu mana Israaʼel of irra kaaʼi. Guyyaa cinaacha keetiin ciifte sana hundas ati cubbuu isaanii ni baatta.
5 For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
Ani baayʼina waggoota isaan itti cubbuu hojjetan sanaa akka guyyootaatti ramadee siif kenneera. Kanaafuu ati cubbuu mana Israaʼel guyyaa 390 ni baatta.
6 And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.
“Ati erga waan kana fixxee booddee amma illee ciisi; yeroo kana immoo cinaacha kee kan mirgaatiin ciisiitii cubbuu mana Yihuudaa baadhu. Anis tokkoo tokkoo waggaatiif guyyaa tokko tokko ramadee, guyyaa 40 siif kenneera.
7 Therefore thou shalt set thy face towards the siege of Jerusalem, and thy arm [shall be] uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.
Fuula kee gara marfama Yerusaalemitti deebifadhuutii irree qullaadhaan isheetti raajii dubbadhu.
8 And behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.
Hamma ati guyyoota marfama keetii fixattutti akka ati cinaacha tokko irraa gara cinaacha kaaniitti hin garagalleef ani funyoodhaan sin hidha.
9 Take thou also to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, [according] to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat of it.
“Qamadii fi garbuu, baaqelaa fi misira, bisingaa fi honborii fuudhii okkotee keessa kaaʼadhuutii ittiin buddeena tolfadhu. Buddeena kanas yeroo guyyoota 390 cinaacha keetiin ciiftutti nyaatta.
10 And thy food which thou shalt eat [shall be] by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.
Ati akka guyyaa guyyaan nyaattuuf nyaata saqilii digdama madaali; isas yeroo murteeffametti nyaadhu.
11 Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.
Akkasuma bishaan safartuu iinii tokko harka jaʼa keessaa harka tokko safariitii yeroo murteeffametti dhugi.
12 And thou shalt eat it [as] barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with human excrement in their sight.
Nyaata sanas akkuma Maxinoo garbuu nyaattutti nyaadhu; isas udaan namaa bobeesiitii Maxinoo tolchi.”
13 And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.
Waaqayyos “Haala kanaan ijoolleen Israaʼel saboota ani itti isaan bittinneessu keessatti nyaata xuraaʼaa nyaatu” jedhe.
14 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither hath abominable flesh come into my mouth.
Anis akkanan jedhe; “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa akkana miti! Ani takkumaa of xureessee hin beeku. Ijoollummaa kootii jalqabee hamma ammaatti takkumaa waan ofiin duʼe yookaan waan bineensi ajjeese nyaadhee hin beeku. Foon qulqulluu hin taʼin gonkumaa afaan koo seenee hin beeku.”
15 Then he said to me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread with them.
Innis, “Kun gaarii dha; ani akka ati qooda udaan namaatiin buddeena kee tolfattu akka dikee saʼaatiin tolfattu siifin eeyyama” naan jedhe.
16 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment.
Innis ittuma fufee akkana naan jedhe: “Yaa ilma namaa ani madda nyaata Yerusaalem nan gogsa; uummanni nyaata safarame yaaddoodhaan nyaata; bishaan safarames sodaadhaan dhuga;
17 That they may want bread and water, and be astonished one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
hanqinni midhaaniitii fi bishaanii ni jiraataatii. Isaanis naasuudhaan wal ilaalu; sababii cubbuu isaaniitiinis ni badu.
