< Ezekiel 4 >

1 God El fahk, “Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, eis sie block an ac filiya ye motom, na sruloala luman acn Jerusalem fac.
And thou, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it a city, even Jerusalem.
2 Kom in pukanak laf, ac orala yol in fohk ac nien aktuktuk, ac ma fukulyen mutunpot uh in sang rauneak block sac, in lumahla ke mwet mweun uh ac tuku rauneak siti sac.
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 Eis sie pan osra ac tulokunak inmasrlom ac block sacn. Ngetang nu kac, in mu kom pa mweuni siti sac. Lumah se inge ac sie mwe akul nu sin mutanfahl Israel.
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 “Na kom in ona ke layen lasa sum, ac nga fah filiya mwatan ma koluk lun mutanfahl Israel fom. Kom ac muta we ac keok ke ma koluk lalos
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 ke len tolfoko eungoul. Sie len in keok lom ac fah oana sie yac in kalya nu selos.
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 Fin tari, na kom ikla nu ke layen layot sum uh, ac keok ke ma koluk lun mwet Judah ke len angngaul — sie len oana sie yac in kalya nu selos.
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 Ngetang suiya acn Jerusalem ke ac kuhlusyuki. Usruk poum nu ke siti an ac fahkak kas in palu lain.
And set thy face against besieged Jerusalem, and uncover thine arm, and prophesy against it!
8 Nga ac kaprikomi kom in tia ku in ikla nu lac lac, nwe ke na safla mweun an.
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 “Inge eis kutu wheat, barley, bean, pea, millet, ac spelt. Kulamiseak ma inge in sang orala bread. Pa ingan ma kom ac kang ke len tolfoko eungoul ke kom oan ke layen lasa sum.
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 Lupan bread kom ac kang ke len se pa ounce oalkosr. Pa inge srikasrak nu ke len fon se.
And thy food which thou eatest shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day; from time to time shalt thou eat it.
11 Kof nimom uh ac fah srikasrak pac — cup luo ke len se.
Thou shalt also drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin; from time to time shalt thou drink.
12 Tanak sie e ke fohkon mwet, ma paola tari, ac omunla bread an fac, na kang yen mwet uh ku in liye kom we.”
Thou shalt also eat barley-cakes; and with dung that cometh out of man shalt thou bake them in their sight.
13 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Lumah se inge ma in akkalemye lah mwet Israel ac fah kang mwe mongo ma tia nasnas fal nu ke Ma Sap, ke nga ac luselosla nu in mutunfacl saya.”
And Jehovah said, Even thus shall the sons of Israel eat their polluted food among the nations, whither I will drive them.
14 Na nga topuk ac fahk, “LEUM GOD Fulatlana, in tia ouinge! Nga soenna akfohkfokyeyu e ke nga tulik ah me, in kang ikwen kosro sifacna misa, ku ma kosro lemnak uh uniya. Nga soenna kang kutena mongo ma tia nasnas.”
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 Ouinge God El fahk, “Wona. Nga ac lela kom in oremakin fohkon cow ac tia fohkon mwet, in sang omunla bread nom an.”
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 Na El sifil fahk, “Mwet sukawil, nga ac fah tulokinya fahsr lun bread nu Jerusalem, ac mwet we elos ac wela ac inse asor ke elos ac srikeya mwe mongo nalos ac kof nimalos.
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 Ac fah wanginla bread ac kof. Mwet uh ac nukanlana ma elos in oru. Elos ac srila ke sripen ma koluk lalos.”
so that they shall be in want of bread and water, and be astonished one at another, and consume away for their iniquity.
