Ezekiela 4
1 A OOE, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, e lawe oe i pohaku ula nou, a e waiho iho ia imua ou, ae kakau iho oe i ke kulanakauhale malalo, o Ierusalema hoi;
“Son of man, you are to take a brick, put in front of you, and draw a picture of the city of Jerusalem on it.
2 A hoopuni ku e ia ia, a e hana i pakaua imua ona, a e hana i puu hoi e ku e ia ia, a e hoomoana ku e ia ia, a e hoonoho i na hipakaue wawahi e ku e ia ia a puni.
Show that it's under siege: establish a siege perimeter all around it, build a siege ramp against it, set up the enemy camps beside it, and put battering rams on all sides around it.
3 A e lawe oe i pa hao nou, a e waiho iho i paku hao iwaho iwaena ou a me ke kulanakauhale; a e hooku e oe i kou wahi maka ia ia, a hoomoana ku e ia ia, a e hoonoho oe i ke kaua ku e ia ia; he hoailona ia no ka ohana a Iseraela.
Put an iron plate between yourself and the city so it's like an iron wall. Face the city and demonstrate that it's under siege, and that you are the one attacking it. This is a symbolic warning to the people of Israel.
4 A e moe iho oe ma kou aoao hema, a e kau i ka hewa o ka ohana a Iseraela maluna iho; e like me ka helu'na o na la e moe ai oe ma ia, e hali ai oe i ko lakou hewa.
Then lie on your left side and take the Israelites' sins on yourself. You will carry their sins for the number of days you lie on your side.
5 No ka mea, ua kau aku maluna iho ou i na makahiki o ko lakou hewa, mamuli o ka helu ana o na la ekolu haueri a me kanaiwa; pela e hali ai oe i ka hewa o ka ohana a Iseraela.
I will make you stay there for 390 days, representing the number of years of their sins. You will bear the sins of the Israelites.
6 Aia hoopau ae oe ia mau mea, e moe hou oe ma kou aoao akau, a e hali oe i ka hewa o ka ohana a Iuda i hookahi kanaha la: ua hoomaopopo au nou i hookahi la no ka makahiki hookahi.
Once you have finished doing this for these days, then you are to lie down again, but this time on your right side, and carry the sins of the people of Judah. I will make you stay there for 40 days, one day for every year.
7 Nolaila e hooku pono oe i kou wahi maka i ka hoopuni ana ia Ierusalema, a e weheia kou lima, a e wanana ku e oe nona.
Keep your face towards the siege of Jerusalem with your arm bared, and prophesy against it.
8 Aia hoi, e kau aku au i na mea o paa ai maluna ou, aole oe e kaa ae mai kekahi aoao a i kekahi aoao, a hoopau oe i na la o ka hoopuni ana.
Be ready, because now I'm going to tie you up with ropes so you can't move from side to side until the days of your siege are over.
9 E lawe hoi oe nou i palaoa, a me ka bale, a me na papapa, a me na lenetila a me ka mileta, a me ka peleta, a e hahao ia mau mea iloko o ka ipu hookahi, a e hana oe ia i berena nau, ma ka helu'na o na la e moe ai oe ma kou aoao, i na la ekolu haneri a me kanaiwa e ai ai oe ia mea.
Get some wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt, and mix them together in a storage jar. Use them to make bread for yourself. This is what you are to eat for the 390 days that you lie on your side.
10 A o kau ai au e ai ai, ma ke kaupaonaia, iwakalua sekela i ka la hookahi; i kela manawa, i keia manawa e at ai oe ia.
You are allowed to eat twenty shekels weight of food each day, and you are to eat it at regular times.
11 E inu hoi i ka wai ma ko ana ana, o ka hapa ono o ka hina; i kela manawa i keia manawae e inu ai oe.
Measure out a sixth of a hin of water to drink, and you are to drink it at regular times.
12 E ai hoi oe ia me he mau papa bale la, a e pulehu oe ia me ka lepo i puka ae mailoko ae o kanaka, imua o ko lakou alo.
You are to eat the bread as you would a barley loaf. You are to bake it over a fire burning dried human excrement as everyone watches.”
13 I mai la hoi o Iehova, Pela e ai ai na mamo a Iseraela i ka lakou berena haumia iwaena o na lahuikanaka, kahi e kipaku aku ai au ia lakou.
Then the Lord said, “This is the way the Israelites will eat their unclean bread among the nations where I'll exile them.”
14 Alaila olelo aku au, Auwe, e Iehova ka Haku! oiaio, aole i hoohaumiaia ko'u uhane; no ka mea, mai ko'u wa kamalii mai a hiki i keia manawa, aole au i ai i kauwahi o ka mea i make wale, aole hoi o ka mea i haehaeia e na holoholona, aole hoi i komo ka io haumia iloko o kuu waha.
“Please no, Lord God!” I answered. “I have never made myself unclean. I haven't eaten anything found dead or killed by wild animals from the time I was young until now. I've never put unclean meat in my mouth.”
15 Alaila olelo mai la oia ia'u, Eia hoi, aia haawi au i ka lepo bipi no ka lepo kanaka, a e hoomakaukau oe i kau berena me ia.
“All right,” he said. “I'll let you use cow manure instead of human excrement You can bake your bread over a fire using that.”
16 A olelo hou mai no oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, eia hoi e uhaki au i ke kookoo o ka berena maloko o Ierusalema; a e ai lakou i ka berena ma ke kaupaona ana, a e inu hoi lakou i ka wai ma ke ana ana, a me ka pilihua.
Then he went on, “Son of man, watch! I am going to put a stop to Jerusalem's food supply. Worried sick, they will eat bread rationed by weight. Despairing at what's happening, they will drink water measured in small amounts.
17 I nele lakou i ka berena ole a me ka wai ole, a e pilihua kekahi me kekahi, a e olala ae no hoi lakou no ko lakou hewa.
Running out of food and water, they will be horrified as they look at one another wasting away because of their sins.”
