< Ezekiel 4 >

1 “Ngem sika, anak ti tao, mangalaka iti ladrilio ket ikabilmo daytoy iti sangoanam. Ket iti rabaw daytoy, ikur-itmo ti siudad ti Jerusalem.
And thou, O son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee: and draw upon it the plan of the city of Jerusalem.
2 Ket mangikabilka iti manglakub iti daytoy, ken mangipatakderka kadagiti sarikedked a maibusor iti daytoy. Mangikabilka iti pagkalay-atan dagiti kabusor ken mangaramidka kadagiti kampo iti aglikmut daytoy. Mangikabilka iti sinan-maso a pagrakrak iti aglawlaw daytoy.
And lay siege against it, and build forts, and cast up a mount, and set a camp against it, and place battering rams round about it.
3 Ket mangalaka iti landok a pariok, ket aramatem daytoy a kas landok a bakud iti nagbaetan ti bagim ken ti siudad. Sumangoka a makaung-unget iti siudad, ta malakubto daytoy. Isu a mangikabilka iti manglakub iti daytoy! Agpaayto daytoy a pagilasinan iti balay ti Israel.
And take unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face resolutely against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it: it is a sign to the house of Israel.
4 Kalpasanna, agiddaka nga agsikig iti kannigidmo ket lak-amem ti basol ti balay ti Israel; baklayemto ti basolda segun iti bilang dagiti aldaw a nakaiddaka maibusor iti balay ti Israel.
And thou shalt sleep upon thy left side, and shalt lay the iniquities of the house of Israel upon it, according to the number of the days that thou shalt sleep upon it, and thou shalt take upon thee their iniquity.
5 Tinudinganka iti maysa aldaw a katukad iti tunggal tawen a pannakadusada: 390 nga aldaw! Iti kastoy a wagas, baklayemto ti basol ti balay ti Israel.
And I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days three hundred and ninety days: and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6 Inton maileppasmo dagitoy nga aldaw, iti maikadua a gundaway ket agiddaka a nakasikig iti makannawanmo, ta baklayemto ti basol ti balay ti Juda iti las-ud ti uppat a pulo nga aldaw. Tinudinganka iti maysa nga aldaw iti tunggal tawen.
And when thou hast accomplished this, thou shalt sleep again upon thy right side, and thou shalt take upon thee the iniquity of the house of Juda forty days: a day for it year, yea, a day for a year I have appointed to thee.
7 Ket saanmo nga isina ti panagkitam iti pannakalakub ti Jerusalem, a nakalislis ti manggas ti badom ket agipadtokanto iti maibusor iti siudad.
And thou shalt turn thy face to the siege of Jerusalem, and thy arm shall be stretched out: and thou shalt prophesy against it.
8 Ta kitaem! parparautanka tapno saanka a makaballikid agingga a maileppasmo dagiti aldaw a pananglakubmo.
Behold I have encompassed thee with bands: and thou shalt not turn thyself from one side to the other, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.
9 Mangalaka iti trigo, sebada, bubukel, patani, miho ken espelta; paglalaokem dagitoy iti maysa a pagkargaan ket manglutoka iti tinapay a kanemto segun iti bilang dagiti aldaw nga agiddaka a nakasikig. Ta kanemto daytoy iti las-ud ti 390 nga aldaw!
And take 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 thereof.
10 Daytoyto ti kanem a taraonmo: duapulo a siklo kada aldaw. Mangankanto iti maituding a pannanganmo.
And thy meat that thou shalt eat, shall be in weight twenty staters a day: from time to time thou shalt eat it.
11 Ken uminomkanto iti dua a baso. Inumemto daytoy iti maituding a pannanganmo.
And thou shalt drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time thou shalt drink it,
12 Kanemto daytoy a kas kadagiti bibingka a naaramid iti sebada, ngem lutoemto daytoy iti imatangda babaen iti namaga a rugit ti tao!”
And thou shalt eat it as barley bread baked under the ashes: and thou shalt cover it, in their sight, with the dung that cometh out of a man.
13 Ta kuna ni Yahweh, “Ti kayat a sawen daytoy a narugitto ti tinapay a kanen dagiti tattao ti Israel, kadagiti nasion a pangiwarawaraakto kadakuada.”
And the Lord said: So shall the children of Israel Beat their bread all filthy among the nations whither I will cast them out.
14 Ngem kinunak, “Saan, Yahweh nga Apo! Saanak a pulos a nagbalin a narugit! Saanak pay a pulos a nangan iti aniaman a natay wenno aniaman a pinatay dagiti ayup, manipud kinaagtutubok nga agingga ita, ken awan pay ti immuneg a narugit a karne iti ngiwatko!”
And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God, behold my soul hath not been defiled, and from my infancy even till now, I have not eaten any thing that died of itself, or was torn by beasts, and no unclean flesh hath entered into my mouth.
15 Isu a kinunana kaniak, “Kitaem! inikkanka kadagiti takki ti baka imbes a rugit ti tao tapno mailutom ti tinapaymo iti rabaw ti takki ti baka.”
And he said to me: Behold I have given thee neat’s dung for man’s dung, and thou shalt make thy bread therewith.
16 Kinunana pay kaniak, “Anak ti tao, kitaem! Isardengkon ti panangtedko iti taraon iti Jerusalem, ket madandanagandanto a mangan iti tinapay bayat a maibunbunong daytoy ken agpigergerda nga umin-inom iti danum bayat a maibunbunong daytoy.
And he said to me: Son of man: Behold, I will break in pieces 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 distress.
17 Gapu ta agkurangdanto iti taraon ken danum, maupaydanto iti kabsatda ket kasla marunawda gapu iti kinadakesda.”
So that when bread and water fail, every man may fall against his brother, and they may pine away in their iniquities.
