Ezekiela 4
1 Ihe ka, ana’ ondatio, angalao birike vaho apoho aolo’o eo vaho sokiro ama’e ty saren-drova, toe Ierosalaime;
“You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before yourself, and portray on 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.
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 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.
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 Ie amy zao, mihoriràña ankavia, hibabe o hakeo’ i anjomba’ Israeleio; mira amo andro andrea’o ama’eo, ty hibabea’o o tahi’eo.
“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 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.
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 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.
“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 Hampitolihe’o mb’amy fanameañe Ierosalaimey ty lahara’o, tsy ho aman-tsaroñe ty sira’o, vaho hitokia’o.
You shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall 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.
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 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 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 Ty mahakama ho kamae’o le ho aman-danja, roapolo sekele ami’ ty andro raike; hikama’o erike.
Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day. From time to time you shall eat it.
11 Rano ka ty ho kamae’o ami’ty fañarana’e, ty am-paha-ene’ ty hine, hikama’o erike.
You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin. From time to time you shall drink.
12 Aa le ho kamae’o hoe mofom-bare-hordea, vaho hatoko’o am-piamonto’ ondaty añatrefa’ iereo eo.
You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.”
13 Le hoe t’Iehovà, Hanahake izay ka ty hikama’ o ana’ Israeleo aman-deotse ty mofo iareo, amo kilakila’ ndaty handroahako iareoo.
Yahweh said, “Even thus will the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where 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 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 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 have given you cow’s dung for man’s dung, and you shall prepare your bread on it.”
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;
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 amy t’ie tsy ho ene-mofo naho rano, naho hifampitalahatse aman-tofotse vaho hinike ty amo hakeo’iareoo.
that they may lack bread and water, be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
