Ezekiela 4
1 Ihe ka, ana’ ondatio, angalao birike vaho apoho aolo’o eo vaho sokiro ama’e ty saren-drova, toe Ierosalaime;
And thou, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it a city, even Jerusalem.
2 le ampiarikoboño mpialy, andranjio kijolim-pikalañe, vaho amotrio tamboho hahàlañe aze; itseneo tobe hiatrek’ aze, vaho bodem-pidosy añariariañe.
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 Angalao endraendra ka le ajadoño ho kijoly viñe añivo’o naho i rovay eo; atoliho ama’e ty lahara’o ho fañarikatohañe, le ihe ty hanarokohok’ aze ho viloñe amy anjomba’ Israeley.
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 Ie amy zao, mihoriràña ankavia, hibabe o hakeo’ i anjomba’ Israeleio; mira amo andro andrea’o ama’eo, ty hibabea’o o tahi’eo.
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 Fa tinendreko ho mira amo taom-pandilara’ iareoo ty ia’ ty andro ama’o; aa le telon-jato-tsi-sivam-polo andro ty hivavea’o ty hakeo’ i anjomba’ Israeley.
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 Ie nihenefa’o izay vaho hihoriraña’o ankavana hivavea’o o tahi’ i anjomba’ Iehodàio; efa polo andro; andro raik’ ami’ty taoñe raike, ty tinendreko ho azo.
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 Hampitolihe’o mb’amy fanameañe Ierosalaimey ty lahara’o, tsy ho aman-tsaroñe ty sira’o, vaho hitokia’o.
And set thy face against besieged Jerusalem, and uncover thine arm, and prophesy against it!
8 Ingo fa hapetako ama’o ty rohy, tsy hivariña’o mb’ ami’ty ila’e, ampara’ te nihenefa’o ty androm-pañarikatoha’o.
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 Mindesa vare-bolè, vare hordea, mahalay, ampemba, le kosemete naho ajoño am-balàñe, vaho anokono mofo; fa mira amo andro ihoriraña’o añ’ila’oo, i telon-jato-tsy-sivam-polo rey, ty hikamà’o.
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 Ty mahakama ho kamae’o le ho aman-danja, roapolo sekele ami’ ty andro raike; hikama’o erike.
And thy food which thou eatest shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day; from time to time shalt thou eat it.
11 Rano ka ty ho kamae’o ami’ty fañarana’e, ty am-paha-ene’ ty hine, hikama’o erike.
Thou shalt also drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin; from time to time shalt thou drink.
12 Aa le ho kamae’o hoe mofom-bare-hordea, vaho hatoko’o am-piamonto’ ondaty añatrefa’ iereo eo.
Thou shalt also eat barley-cakes; and with dung that cometh out of man shalt thou bake them in their sight.
13 Le hoe t’Iehovà, Hanahake izay ka ty hikama’ o ana’ Israeleo aman-deotse ty mofo iareo, amo kilakila’ ndaty handroahako iareoo.
And Jehovah said, Even thus shall the sons of Israel eat their polluted food among the nations, whither I will drive them.
14 Le hoe iraho, Ehe ry Iehovà Talè! Toe mbe tsy nileoreñe ty fiaiko; fa boak’ ami’ty naha’ ajaja ahy am-para’ te henane, mboe tsy nihinanako o raha nimate avaoo, ndra o nirimitem-bibio; mbore tsy nimoak’ am-bavako ao ty hena faly.
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 Aa le hoe re amako, Ingo, arè, fa tinoloko taik’ombe hasolo ty fiamonto’ ondaty, le atokono ama’e ty mofo’o.
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 Natovo’e ty hoe: O ana’ondatio, toe ho pozaheko ty boda-mofo e Ierosalaime ao, le ho kamae’ iareo ty mofo an-danja am-pivazobazotse; naho ho kamae’ iareo an-kapoake ty rano, an-kalonjerañe;
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 amy t’ie tsy ho ene-mofo naho rano, naho hifampitalahatse aman-tofotse vaho hinike ty amo hakeo’iareoo.
so that they shall be in want of bread and water, and be astonished one at another, and consume away for their iniquity.
