Ezekiela 4

1 Ary ianao, ry zanak’ olona, makà kapila tanimanga, ary apetraho eo anoloanao, dia manorata sarin-tanàna eo aminy, dia sarin’ i Jerosalema;

Thou also sonne of man, take thee a bricke, and lay it before thee, and pourtray vpon it the citie, euen Ierusalem,

2 ary ataovy fahirano izy, ka manaova tilikambo hamelezana azy, ary manandrata tovon-tany manodidina azy; ary asio toby hamelezana azy, ary asio lohondry vy fandravana manodidina azy.

And lay siege against it, and builde a fort against it, and cast a mount against it: set the campe also against it, and lay engins of warre against it rounde about.

3 Ary makà lapoely, ka ataovy manda vy eo anelanelanao sy ny tanàna, dia banjino tsara io, ary aoka hatao fahirano, eny, aoka hataonao fahirano io. Famantarana ho amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely izany.

Moreouer, take an yron pan, and set it for a wall of yron betweene thee and the citie, and direct thy face towarde it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it: this shall be a signe vnto the house of Israel.

4 Ary ataovy ambany mandry ny ilanao ankavia, ka ataovy eo aminy ny fahotan’ ny taranak’ Isiraely; koa araka ny isan’ ny andro handrianao toy izany no hitondranao ny helony.

Sleepe thou also vpon thy left side, and lay the iniquitie of the house of Israel vpon it: according to the nomber of the dayes, that thou shalt sleepe vpon it, thou shalt beare their iniquity.

5 Fa Izaho dia manao fetr’ andro ho anao mitovy amin’ ny taonan’ ny helony, dia sivi-folo amby telon-jato andro, ka ho entinao ny heloky ny taranak’ Isiraely.

For I haue layed vpon thee the yeeres of their iniquitie, according to the nomber of the dayes, euen three hundreth and ninetie dayes: so shalt thou beare the iniquitie of the house of Israel.

6 Ary rehefa tapitrao ireo, dia ataovy ambany mandry kosa ny ilanao ankavanana, ary aoka hitondra ny heloky ny taranak’ i Joda efa-polo andro ianao; ny indray andro no nataoko solon’ ny herintaona ho anao.

And when thou hast accomplished them, sleepe againe vpon thy right side, and thou shalt beare the iniquitie of the house of Iudah fourtie dayes: I haue appointed thee a day for a yeere, euen a day for a yeere.

7 Dia banjino tsara io fahirano an’ i Jerosalema io, ary aoka hiseho sandry ianao ka haminany hamely azy.

Therefore thou shalt direct thy face towarde the siege of Ierusalem, and thine arme shalbe vncouered, and thou shalt prophesie against it.

8 Ary, indro, hafatotro ianao ka tsy hahavadi-mandry ambara-pahatapitrao ny andron’ ny fahiranonao.

And beholde, I will lay bands vpon thee, and thou shalt not turne thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the dayes of thy siege.

9 Ary mangalà vary tritika sy vary hordea sy tsaramaso sy voanemba sy ampemby sy spelta ianao, ary ataovy am-bilia iray ireo, ka anaovy mofo ho anao; araka ny isan’ ny andro izay handrianao amin’ ny ilanao, dia sivi-folo amby telon-jato andro, no hihinananao azy.

Thou shalt take also vnto thee wheate, and barley, and beanes, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessell, and make thee bread thereof according to the nomber of the dayes, that thou shalt sleepe vpon thy side: euen three hundreth and ninetie dayes shalt thou eate thereof.

10 Ary an-danjany no hihinananao ny haninao, dia roa-polo sekely isan’ andro; asio elanelany ny fihinanao azy.

And the meate, whereof thou shalt eate, shalbe by weight, euen twenty shekels a day: and from time to time shalt thou eate thereof.

11 Ary rano afàtra no hosotroinao, dia ampahenin’ ny hina; asio elanelany koa ny fisotronao azy.

Thou shalt drinke also water by measure, euen the sixt part of an Hin: from time to time shalt thou drinke.

12 Ary hatao toy ny mofo vary hordea no ho fihinanao azy, ary diky no hataonao kitay hanendasanao azy eo imasony.

And thou shalt eate it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it in the dongue that commeth out of man, in their sight.

13 Ary hoy Jehovah: Toy izany no hihinanan’ ny zanak’ Isiraely ny mofony voaloto any amin’ ny firenena izay handroahako azy.

And the Lord said, So shall the children of Israel eate their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will cast them.

14 Dia hoy izaho: Indrisy Jehovah Tompo ô, indro tsy voaloto ny fanahiko; fa hatry ny fony aho mbola tanora ka mandraka ankehitriny dia tsy mba nihinana izay fatin-javatra na izay noviraviraim-biby akory aho; ary tsy mbola nikasika ny vavako akory izay nofo fahavetavetana.

Then said I, Ah, Lord God, beholde, my soule hath not bene polluted: for from my youth vp, euen vnto this houre, I haue not eaten of a thing dead, or torne in pieces, neither came there any vncleane flesh in my mouth.

15 Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Indro, tain’ omby no omeko anao hisolo ny dity, ka izany no hataonao kitay hanendasanao ny mofonao.

Then he said vnto me, Loe, I haue giuen thee bullockes dongue for mans dongue, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.

16 Ary hoy koa Izy tamiko: Ry zanak’ olona, indro, hotapahiko any Jerosalema ny mofo, tohan’ aina, ka an-danjany amin’ ny fanahiana no hihinanany mofo; ary rano afàtra no hosotroiny amin’ ny fahatahorana.

Moreouer, he said vnto me, Sonne of man, beholde, I will breake the staffe of bread in Ierusalem, and they shall eate bread by weight, and with care, and they shall drinke water by measure, and with astonishment.

17 Ka dia ho mosare-mofo sy rano izy, ary samy ho raiki-tahotra sady hihalevona noho ny helony.

Because that bread and water shall faile, they shalbe astonied one with another, and shall consume away for their iniquitie.
