1 Wena-ke, ndodana yomuntu, zithathele isitina, usibeke phambi kwakho, ubhale ngokugubha kiso umuzi, iJerusalema;
And you O son of humankind take yourself a brick and you will set it before you and you will inscribe on it a city Jerusalem.
2 wenze ukuvinjezelwa umelene lawo, wakhe inqaba umelene lawo, ubuthelele idundulu umelene lawo, wenze izinkamba umelene lawo, umise izinqama zokudiliza inhlangothi zonke zimelene lawo.
And you will make on it a siege and you will build on it a siege-wall and you will pour out on it a mound and you will set up on it armies and set on it battering-rams all around.
3 Futhi wena uzithathele umganu wensimbi, uwumise ube ngumduli wensimbi phakathi kwakho lomuzi; umise ubuso bakho bumelene lawo, njalo ube sekuvinjezelweni, futhi uzawuvimbezela. Lokhu kuzakuba yisibonakaliso kundlu kaIsrayeli.
And you take yourself a baking tray of iron and you will make it a wall of iron between you and between the city and you will direct face your to it and it will be in state of siege and you will lay siege on it [will be] a sign it for [the] house of Israel.
4 Futhi wena lala ngomhlubulo wakho wangasekhohlo, ubeke isiphambeko sendlu kaIsrayeli phezu kwayo; njengokwenani lezinsuku ozalala phezu kwawo uzathwala isiphambeko sabo.
And you lie down on side your left and you will put [the] iniquity of [the] house of Israel on it [the] number of the days which you will lie on it you will bear iniquity their.
5 Ngoba mina ngikumisele iminyaka yesiphambeko sabo, njengokwenani lezinsuku, izinsuku ezingamakhulu amathathu layisificamunwemunye; ngokunjalo uzathwala isiphambeko sendlu kaIsrayeli.
And I I have assigned to you [the] years of iniquity their to [the] number of days three hundreds and ninety day[s] and you will bear [the] iniquity of [the] house of Israel.
6 Lapho usuziphelelisile lezo, lala okwesibili ngomhlubulo wakho wangakwesokunene, uthwale isiphambeko sendlu kaJuda insuku ezingamatshumi amane; ngikunike usuku lube ngumnyaka, usuku lube ngumnyaka.
And you will complete these and you will lie down on side your (right *Q(K)*) a second [time] and you will bear [the] iniquity of [the] house of Judah forty day[s] a day for the year a day for the year I have assigned it to you.
7 Ngakho uzamisa ubuso bakho ekuvinjezelweni kweJerusalema, lengalo yakho izakwembulwa, uprofethe umelene layo.
And to [the] siege of Jerusalem you will direct face your and arm your [will be] bared and you will prophesy on it.
8 Khangela-ke, ngizabeka izibopho phezu kwakho, ukuze ungaphenduki usuka komunye umhlubulo usiya komunye umhlubulo, uze uqede izinsuku zokuvimbezela kwakho.
And there! I will put on you ropes and not you will turn yourself from side your to side your until completing you [the] days of siege your.
9 Futhi wena zithathele ingqoloyi lebhali lendumba lamalentili lenyawuthi lespelite, ukubeke esitsheni esisodwa, uzenzele kube yisinkwa; njengokwenani lezinsuku olala ngazo ngomhlubulo wakho, izinsuku ezingamakhulu amathathu lesificamunwemunye uzakudla sona.
And you take yourself wheat and barley and bean[s] and lentils and millet and spelt and you will put them in a vessel one and you will make them for yourself into bread [the] number of the days which you - [will be] lying on side your three hundreds and ninety day[s] you will eat it.
10 Lokudla kwakho ozakudla kuzakuba ngesilinganiso, amashekeli angamatshumi amabili ngelanga; ukudle isikhathi ngesikhathi.
And food your which you will eat it by weight [will be] twenty shekel[s] to the day from time to time you will eat it.
11 Lamanzi uzawanatha ngesilinganiso, ingxenye yesithupha yehini, uwanathe isikhathi ngesikhathi.
And water by measure you will drink sixth of hin from time to time you will drink [it].
12 Njalo uzakudla iqebelengwana lebhali, ulipheke emehlweni abo ngamalongwe aphuma emuntwini.
And a bread cake of barley you will eat it and it in [the] dung of [the] excrement of humankind you will bake it to eyes their.
13 INkosi yasisithi: Ngokunjalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli bazakudla isinkwa sabo esingcolileyo phakathi kwezizwe engizabaxotshela kuzo.
And he said Yahweh thus they will eat [the] people of Israel bread their unclean among the nations where I will banish them there.
14 Ngasengisithi: Hawu Nkosi Jehova! Khangela, umphefumulo wami kawuzanga ungcoliswe; ngoba kwasebutsheni bami kuze kube lakhathesi kangizanga ngidle okuzifeleyo kumbe okudatshuliweyo, njalo kakulanyama enengekayo eseyake yangena emlonyeni wami.
And I said alas! O Lord Yahweh here! self my not [has been] made unclean and a carcass and a torn animal not I have eaten since youth my and until now and not it has gone in mouth my [the] flesh of unclean meat.
15 Yasisithi kimi: Bona, ngikunike amalongwe enkomo esikhundleni samalongwe omuntu, njalo uzalungisa isinkwa sakho ngawo.
And he said to me see I give to you ([the] dung of *Q(k)*) cattle in place of [the] dung of humankind and you will make bread your on them.
16 Yathi futhi kimi: Ndodana yomuntu, khangela, ngizakwephula udondolo lwesinkwa eJerusalema; njalo bazakudla isinkwa ngesisindo langokunqineka, banathe amanzi ngesilinganiso langovalo;
And he said to me O son of humankind here I [am] about to break [the] staff of bread in Jerusalem and they will eat bread by weight and in anxiety and water by measure and in horror they will drink.
17 ukuze baswele isinkwa lamanzi, bethuke omunye lomunye, bacikizeke ngobubi babo.
So that they may lack bread and water and they will be appalled everyone and brother his and they will waste away in iniquity their.
