Ezekiyel 4
1 “Yanzu, ɗan mutum, ka ɗauki tubalin yumɓu, ka ajiye shi a gabanka ka kuma zāna birnin Urushalima a kansa.
And you, son of man, take a back and put it before you and on it make a picture of a town, even Jerusalem.
2 Sa’an nan ka yi mata ƙawanya. Ka kafa mata katangar ƙawanya, ka gina katangar da ɗan tudu ka kewaye ta da dundurusai.
And make an attack on it, shutting it in, building strong places against it, and making high an earthwork against it; and put up tents against it, placing engines all round it for smashing down its walls.
3 Sa’an nan ka ɗauki kwanon ƙarfe, ka shirya shi kamar katangar ƙarfe tsakaninka da birnin ka kuma zuba mata ido. Za tă kasance a ƙarƙashin ƙawanya, kai kuwa za ka yi mata ƙawanya. Wannan zai zama alama ga gidan Isra’ila.
And take a flat iron plate, and put it for a wall of iron between you and the town: and let your face be turned to it, and it will be shut in and you will make an attack on it. This will be a sign to the children of Israel.
4 “Sa’an nan ka kwanta a hagunka ka kuma sa zunubin gidan Isra’ila a kanka. Za ka ɗauki zunubinsu na waɗansu kwanakin da kake kwance a gefenka.
Then, stretching yourself out on your left side, take the sin of the children of Israel on yourself: for as long as you are stretched out, so long will the sin of the children of Israel be on you.
5 Na ɗora maka kwanaki bisa ga shekarun zunubinsu. Saboda haka cikin kwana 390 za ka ɗauki zunubin gidan Isra’ila.
For I have had the years of their sin measured for you by a number of days, even three hundred and ninety days: and you will take on yourself the sin of the children of Israel.
6 “Bayan ka gama haka, ka sāke kwantawa, a wannan lokaci a gefen damarka, ka kuma ɗauki zunubin gidan Yahuda. Na ɗora maka kwanaki 40, kwana guda a madadin shekara guda.
And when these days are ended, turning on your right side, you are to take on yourself the sin of the children of Judah: forty days, a day for a year, I have had it fixed for you.
7 Ka juya fuskarka wajen ƙawanyar Urushalima da hannunka a buɗe ka yi annabci a kanta.
And let your face be turned to where Jerusalem is shut in, with your arm uncovered, and be a prophet against it.
8 Zan ɗaura ka da igiyoyi don kada ka juya daga wannan gefe zuwa wani gefe sai ka gama kwanakin ƙawanyarka.
And see, I will put bands on you; and you will be stretched out without turning from one side to the other till the days of your attack are ended.
9 “Ka ɗauki alkama da sha’ir, wake da acca, gero da maiwa; ka sa su a tulun ajiya ka kuma yi amfani da su don yin burodi wa kanka. Za ka ci shi a kwanaki 390 da za ka kwanta a gefenka.
And take for yourself wheat and barley and different sorts of grain, and put them in one vessel and make bread for yourself from them; all the days when you are stretched on your side it will be your food.
10 Ka auna shekel ashirin na abinci don kowace rana ka kuma ci shi a ƙayyadadden lokaci.
And you are to take your food by weight, twenty shekels a day: you are to take it at regular times.
11 Haka ma ka auna kashi ɗaya bisa shida na garwan ruwa ka sha shi a ƙayyadadden lokaci.
And you are to take water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: you are to take it at regular times.
12 Ka ci abinci yadda za ka ci ƙosai sha’ir, ka gasa shi a gaban mutane, ka yi amfani da najasar mutane kamar itacen wuta.”
And let your food be barley cakes, cooking it before their eyes with the waste which comes out of a man.
13 Ubangiji ya ce, “Ta haka mutanen Isra’ila za su ci ƙazantaccen abinci a cikin al’ummai inda zan kore su in kai.”
And the Lord said, Even so the children of Israel will have unclean bread for their food among the nations where I am driving them.
14 Sai na ce, “Ba haka ba ne, Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka! Ban taɓa ƙazantar da kaina ba. Daga ƙuruciyata har zuwa yanzu ban taɓa cin wani abin da aka samu ya mutu ko abin da namun jeji suka kashe ba. Ba nama marar tsabtan da ya taɓa shiga bakina.”
Then I said, Ah, Lord! see, my soul has never been unclean, and I have never taken as my food anything which has come to a natural death or has been broken by beasts, from the time when I was young even till now; no disgusting flesh has ever come into my mouth.
15 Sai ya ce, “To da kyau, zan bari ka gasa burodin a kan kashin shanu a maimakon najasar mutane.”
Then he said to me, See, I have given you cow's waste in place of man's waste, and you will make your bread ready on it.
16 Sa’an nan ya ce mini, “Ɗan mutum, zan yanke tanadin abinci a Urushalima. Mutane za su auna abincin da za su ci da tsoro su kuma auna ruwan da za su sha cikin fargaba,
And he said to me, Son of man, see, I will take away from Jerusalem her necessary bread: they will take their bread by weight and with care, measuring out their drinking-water with fear and wonder:
17 domin abinci da ruwa za su kāsa. Za su damu da ganin juna za su kuma lalace saboda zunubinsu.
So that they may be in need of bread and water and be wondering at one another, wasting away in their sin.
