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;
And you, son of man, take you a brick, and you shall set it before your face, and shall portray on it the city, [even] Jerusalem.
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 you shall besiege it, and build works against it, and throw up a mound round about it, and pitch camps against it, and set up engines round 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.
And take you to yourself an iron pan, and you shall set it [for] an iron wall between you and the city: and you shall set your face against it, and it shall be in a siege, and you shall besiege it. This is a sign to the children 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.
And you shall lie upon your left side, and lay the iniquities of the house of Israel upon it, according to the number of the hundred and fifty days [during] which you shall lie upon it: and you shall bear their iniquities.
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 have appointed you their iniquities for a number of days, for a hundred and ninety days: so you shall bear the iniquities 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 you shall accomplish this, and [then] shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquities of the house of Juda forty days: I have appointed you a day for a year.
7 Dia banjino tsara io fahirano an’ i Jerosalema io, ary aoka hiseho sandry ianao ka haminany hamely azy.
So you shall set your face to the siege of Jerusalem, and shall strengthen your arm, and shall prophesy against it.
8 Ary, indro, hafatotro ianao ka tsy hahavadi-mandry ambara-pahatapitrao ny andron’ ny fahiranonao.
And, behold, I have prepared bonds for you, land you may not turn from your one side to the other, until the days of your siege shall be accomplished.
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.
Take you also to you wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and bread-corn; and you shall cast them into one earthen vessel, and shall make them into loaves for yourself; and you shall eat them a hundred and ninety days, according to the number of the days [during] which you sleep on your side.
10 Ary an-danjany no hihinananao ny haninao, dia roa-polo sekely isan’ andro; asio elanelany ny fihinanao azy.
And you shall eat your food by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shall you eat them.
11 Ary rano afàtra no hosotroinao, dia ampahenin’ ny hina; asio elanelany koa ny fisotronao azy.
And you shall drink water by measure, even from time to time you shall drink the sixth part of a hin.
12 Ary hatao toy ny mofo vary hordea no ho fihinanao azy, ary diky no hataonao kitay hanendasanao azy eo imasony.
And you shall eat them [as] a barley cake: you shall bake them before their eyes in man's dung.
13 Ary hoy Jehovah: Toy izany no hihinanan’ ny zanak’ Isiraely ny mofony voaloto any amin’ ny firenena izay handroahako azy.
And you shall say, Thus says the Lord God of Israel; Thus shall the children of Israel eat unclean things among the Gentiles.
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 I said, Not so, Lord God of Israel: surely my soul has not been defiled with uncleanness; nor have I eaten, that which died of itself or was torn of beasts from my birth until now; neither has any corrupt flesh entered into my mouth.
15 Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Indro, tain’ omby no omeko anao hisolo ny dity, ka izany no hataonao kitay hanendasanao ny mofonao.
And he said to me, Behold, I have given you dung of oxen instead of man's dung, and you shall prepare your loaves upon it.
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.
And he said to me, Son of man, behold, I break the support of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight and in lack; and shall drink water by measure, and in a state of ruin:
17 Ka dia ho mosare-mofo sy rano izy, ary samy ho raiki-tahotra sady hihalevona noho ny helony.
that they may lack bread and water; and a man and his brother shall be brought to ruin, and they shall pine away in their iniquities.
