< 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.
“You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before yourself, and portray on 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.
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 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.
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 “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
“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 ke len tolfoko eungoul. Sie len in keok lom ac fah oana sie yac in kalya nu selos.
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 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.
“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 Ngetang suiya acn Jerusalem ke ac kuhlusyuki. Usruk poum nu ke siti an ac fahkak kas in palu lain.
You shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall prophesy against it.
8 Nga ac kaprikomi kom in tia ku in ikla nu lac lac, nwe ke na safla mweun an.
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 “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 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 Lupan bread kom ac kang ke len se pa ounce oalkosr. Pa inge srikasrak nu ke len fon se.
Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day. From time to time you shall eat it.
11 Kof nimom uh ac fah srikasrak pac — cup luo ke len se.
You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin. From time to time you shall 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.”
You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.”
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.”
The LORD said, “Even thus will the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where 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 I said, “Ah Lord GOD! 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 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 have given you cow’s dung for man’s dung, and you shall prepare your bread on it.”
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.
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 Ac fah wanginla bread ac kof. Mwet uh ac nukanlana ma elos in oru. Elos ac srila ke sripen ma koluk lalos.”
that they may lack bread and water, be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
