1 “तर ए मानिसको छोरो, आफ्नो निम्ति एउटा इँट लिएर त्‍यो तेरो सामु राख् । त्यसपछि त्‍यसमाथि यरूशलेमको नक्सा बना ।
Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it a city, even Jerusalem.
2 तब त्‍यसका चारैतिर घेरा हाल्‌, र त्‍यसको विरुद्धमा किल्लाहरू बना । त्यसको वरिपरि घेरा-मचान खडा गर्, र त्‍सको वरिपरि छाउनी बना । त्‍यसलाई आक्रमण गरी भत्‍काउने मूढाहरू राख्‌ ।
And lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it. Also set camps against it, and plant battering rams against it round about.
3 तब आफ्‍नो निम्‍ति एउटा फलामको तावा लि र सहर र तेरो बिचमा एउटा फलामको पर्खालझैं त्‍यो खडा गर्‌ र तेरो मुहार सहरतिर फर्का, किनकि त्‍यो घेरा लाएको अवस्‍थामा हुनेछ, र तैंले त्‍यसलाई घेरा हाल्नुपर्छ । इस्राएलका घरानाको निम्‍ति यो एउटा चिन्‍ह हुनेछ ।
And take thou to thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city. And set thy face toward it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
4 त्‍यसपछि तँ देब्रेतिर कोल्‍टे परेर सुत्‌, र इस्राएलका घरानाको पाप त्‍यसमाथि राख् । जति समयसम्‍म तँ यसरी इस्राएलको घरानाको विरुद्धमा कोल्‍टो परिरहन्‍छस्, त्‍यति दिनसम्‍म तैंले तिनीहरूको पाप बोक्‍नेछस्‌ ।
Moreover lie thou upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it. According to the number of the days that thou shall lie upon it, thou shall bear their iniquity.
5 तिनीहरूको पापका वर्षको संख्‍याकै बराबर तेरो लागि दिनको संख्‍या तोकेको छुः तिन सय नब्‍बे दिन । यसरी तैंले इस्राएलका घरानाको पाप बोक्‍नेछस्‌ ।
For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be a number of days to thee, even three hundred and ninety days. So thou shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6 जब तैंले ती दिन पुरा गर्नेछन्, तब दोस्रो पटक दाहिनेतिर कोल्‍टे पर्‌ र किनकि तैंले चालिस दिनसम्म यहूदाका घरानाको पाप बोक्‍नेछस् । मैले तँलाई प्रत्‍येक वर्षको लागि एक दिन तोकेको छु ।
And again, when thou have accomplished these, thou shall lie on thy right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days, each day for a year. I have appointed it to thee.
7 तेरो अनुहार यरूशलेमको घेरातर्फ फर्काएर राख् र पाखुरा नाङ्गै राखेर त्‍यस सहरको विरुद्धमा अगमवाणी भन्‌ ।
And thou shall set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with thine arm uncovered, and thou shall prophesy against it.
8 किनभने हेर्! म तँलाई डोरीहरूले कसी राख्‍नेछु, यसरी तेरा घेराको दिन समाप्‍त नहोउञ्‍जेल तँ यताउता फर्कन सक्‍नेछैनस्‌ ।
And, behold, I lay bands upon thee, and thou shall not turn thee from one side to the other, till thou have accomplished the days of thy siege.
9 त्‍यसपछि गहूँ, जौ, सिमी, दाल, कोदो र कठिया लिएर एउटै भाँडामा हालेर तँ कोल्टे परेर सुत्‍ने दिनअनुसार तेरो लागि रोटी पका । ‌ तिन सय नब्‍बे दिनसम्‍म तैंले त्‍यो खानेछस् ।
Also take thou to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread of it, according to the number of the days that thou shall lie upon thy side, even three hundred and ninety days, thou shall eat of it.
10 तैंले खाने भोजनचाहिं तौलअनुसार हुनेछ, हरेक दिन बिस शेकेल दिनको र तोकिएको बेलामा तैंले त्‍यो खानेछस् ।
And thy food which thou shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day. Thou shall eat it from time to time.
11 अनि तैंले एक माना पानी पिउनेछस्, त्यो तैंले तोकिएको तोकिएको बेलामा पिउनेछस् ।
And thou shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin. Thou shall drink from time to time.
12 जौका केकजस्‍तै बनाएर तैंले खानेछस्, तर तैंले मानिसहरूकै आँखाको सामुन्‍ने मानिसको दिसालाई दाउराको रूपमा प्रयोग गरेर त्‍यो पकाउनेछस् ।”
And thou shall eat it as barley cakes, and thou shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.
13 किनकि परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “यसको अर्थ यही हो कि इस्राएलीहरूलाई जुन-जुन जातिकहाँ म धपाउनेछु, उनीहरूका बिचमा तिनीहरूले यसरी नै दूषित भोजन खानेछन्‌ ।”
And Jehovah said, Even thus shall the sons of Israel eat their bread unclean among the nations where I will drive them.
14 तर मैले भनें, “धिक्‍कार, हे परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर, म कहिले पनि अशुद्ध भएको छैनँ । युवावस्‍थादेखि अहिलेसम्‍म कहिल्‍यै आफै मरेको थोक अथवा पशुले मारेको कुरा वा दुषित मासु मैले कहिलै खाएको छैनँ ।”
Then I said, Ah lord Jehovah! Behold, my soul has not been polluted. For from my youth up even till now I have not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of beasts, neither has abominable flesh come into my mouth.
15 यसैले उहाँले मलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “हेर, म तँलाई मानिसहरूका दिसाको सट्टा गोबर प्रयोग गरेर तेरो रोटी पकाउन दिनेछु, यसैले तैंले त्यसमाथि आफ्नो रोटी पकाउन सक्छस् ।
Then he said to me, See, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shall prepare thy bread of it.
16 उहाँले मलाई यो पनि भन्‍नुभयो, “ए मानिसको छोरो, हेर, म यरूशलेमबाट अन्‍नको मूल बन्‍द गरिदिनेछु, र तिनीहरूले जोखी-जोखीकन चिन्‍तित भई तिनीहरूले रोटी खानेछन्, र जोखी-जोखीकन डराउँदै पानी पिउनेछन्‌ ।
Moreover 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 fearfulness, and they shall drink water by measure, and in dismay,
17 किनकि तिनीहरूमा रोटी र पानीको अभाव हुनेछ, हरेक मानिसले आफ्नो दाजुभाइलाई देख्‍दा हताश हुनेछ र आफ्‍नो अधर्मले गर्दा तिनीहरू सुक्‍दैजानेछन्‌ ।'
that they may lack bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
