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;
“You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before yourself, and portray on it a 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.
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 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.
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 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.
“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 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 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 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.
“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 Dia banjino tsara io fahirano an’ i Jerosalema io, ary aoka hiseho sandry ianao ka haminany hamely azy.
You shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall prophesy against it.
8 Ary, indro, hafatotro ianao ka tsy hahavadi-mandry ambara-pahatapitrao ny andron’ ny fahiranonao.
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 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 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 Ary an-danjany no hihinananao ny haninao, dia roa-polo sekely isan’ andro; asio elanelany ny fihinanao azy.
Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day. From time to time you shall eat it.
11 Ary rano afàtra no hosotroinao, dia ampahenin’ ny hina; asio elanelany koa ny fisotronao azy.
You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin. From time to time you shall drink.
12 Ary hatao toy ny mofo vary hordea no ho fihinanao azy, ary diky no hataonao kitay hanendasanao azy eo imasony.
You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.”
13 Ary hoy Jehovah: Toy izany no hihinanan’ ny zanak’ Isiraely ny mofony voaloto any amin’ ny firenena izay handroahako azy.
Yahweh said, “Even thus will the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive 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 I said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! 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 Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Indro, tain’ omby no omeko anao hisolo ny dity, ka izany no hataonao kitay hanendasanao ny mofonao.
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 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.
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 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, be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
