Ezekiyel 4
1 “Yanzu, ɗan mutum, ka ɗauki tubalin yumɓu, ka ajiye shi a gabanka ka kuma zāna birnin Urushalima a kansa.
And thou, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it a city, 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 lay siege against it, and build a tower against it, and cast up a mound against it; set a camp also against it, and place battering-rams against it round about.
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.
Moreover, take thou an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city; and set thy face against it, that it may be besieged; and lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house 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.
Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it. According to the number of days that thou shalt lie upon it, thou shalt bear their iniquity.
5 Na ɗora maka kwanaki bisa ga shekarun zunubinsu. Saboda haka cikin kwana 390 za ka ɗauki zunubin gidan Isra’ila.
But for the years of their iniquity I appoint thee days, three hundred and ninety days; so long shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house 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 thou hast brought them to an end, then lie upon thy right side, and bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days. I have appointed thee a day for a year.
7 Ka juya fuskarka wajen ƙawanyar Urushalima da hannunka a buɗe ka yi annabci a kanta.
And set thy face against besieged Jerusalem, and uncover thine arm, and prophesy against it!
8 Zan ɗaura ka da igiyoyi don kada ka juya daga wannan gefe zuwa wani gefe sai ka gama kwanakin ƙawanyarka.
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.
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.
Take thou also wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and spelt, and put them into one vessel, and make thereof thy bread for the number of days that thou shalt lie upon thy side; three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
10 Ka auna shekel ashirin na abinci don kowace rana ka kuma ci shi a ƙayyadadden lokaci.
And thy food which thou eatest shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day; from time to time shalt thou eat it.
11 Haka ma ka auna kashi ɗaya bisa shida na garwan ruwa ka sha shi a ƙayyadadden lokaci.
Thou shalt also drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin; from time to time shalt thou drink.
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.”
Thou shalt also eat barley-cakes; and with dung that cometh out of man shalt thou bake them in their sight.
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 Jehovah said, Even thus shall the sons of Israel eat their polluted food among the nations, whither I will drive 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 said I: Ah! Lord Jehovah, behold, I have never been polluted; for from my youth until now have I not eaten that which died of itself, or was torn in pieces; neither hath unclean food 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: Behold, I give thee cow's dung for man's dung; and with that shalt thou prepare thy food.
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, 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 in amazement;
17 domin abinci da ruwa za su kāsa. Za su damu da ganin juna za su kuma lalace saboda zunubinsu.
so that they shall be in want of bread and water, and be astonished one at another, and consume away for their iniquity.
