< 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;
“You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before yourself, and portray on it a city, even Jerusalem.
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.
Lay siege against it, build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it. Also set camps against it and plant battering rams against it all around.
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.
Take for yourself an iron pan and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city. Then set your face toward it. It will be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house 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.
“Moreover lie on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it. According to the number of the days that you shall lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity.
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.
For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be to you a number of days, even three hundred ninety days. So you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
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.
“Again, when you have accomplished these, you shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah. I have appointed forty days, each day for a year, to you.
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.
You shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall 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.
Behold, I put ropes on you, and you shall not turn yourself from one side to the other, until you have accomplished the days of your siege.
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.
“Take for yourself also wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel. Make bread of it. According to the number of the days that you will lie on your side, even three hundred ninety days, you shall eat of it.
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.
Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day. From time to time you shall eat it.
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.
You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin. From time to time you shall drink.
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 shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.”
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.
Yahweh said, “Even thus will the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive 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.
Then I said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, my soul has not been polluted; for from my youth up even until now I have not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of animals. No abominable meat has come into 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.
Then he said to me, “Behold, I have given you cow’s dung for man’s dung, and you shall prepare your bread on it.”
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.
Moreover he said to me, “Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem. They will eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness. They will drink water by measure, and in dismay;
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.
that they may lack bread and water, be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
