1 “तर ए मानिसको छोरो, आफ्नो निम्ति एउटा इँट लिएर त्‍यो तेरो सामु राख् । त्यसपछि त्‍यसमाथि यरूशलेमको नक्सा बना ।
And you, son of man, take you a brick, and you shall set it before your face, and shall portray on it the 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 you shall besiege it, and build works against it, and throw up a mound round about it, and pitch camps against it, and set up engines 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 you to yourself an iron pan, and you shall set it [for] an iron wall between you and the city: and you shall set your face against it, and it shall be in a siege, and you shall besiege it. This is a sign to the children 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 ।
And you shall lie upon your left side, and lay the iniquities of the house of Israel upon it, according to the number of the hundred and fifty days [during] which you shall lie upon it: and you shall bear their iniquities.
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 you their iniquities for a number of days, for a hundred and ninety days: so you shall bear the iniquities 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 you shall accomplish this, and [then] shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquities of the house of Juda forty days: I have appointed you a day for a year.
7 तेरो अनुहार यरूशलेमको घेरातर्फ फर्काएर राख् र पाखुरा नाङ्गै राखेर त्‍यस सहरको विरुद्धमा अगमवाणी भन्‌ ।
So you shall set your face to the siege of Jerusalem, and shall strengthen your arm, and 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 have prepared bonds for you, land you may not turn from your one side to the other, until the days of your siege shall be accomplished.
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 ।
Take you also to you wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and bread-corn; and you shall cast them into one earthen vessel, and shall make them into loaves for yourself; and you shall eat them a hundred and ninety days, according to the number of the days [during] which you sleep on your side.
10 तैंले खाने भोजनचाहिं तौलअनुसार हुनेछ, हरेक दिन बिस शेकेल दिनको र तोकिएको बेलामा तैंले त्‍यो खानेछस् ।
And you shall eat your food by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shall you eat them.
11 अनि तैंले एक माना पानी पिउनेछस्, त्यो तैंले तोकिएको तोकिएको बेलामा पिउनेछस् ।
And you shall drink water by measure, even from time to time you shall drink the sixth part of a hin.
12 जौका केकजस्‍तै बनाएर तैंले खानेछस्, तर तैंले मानिसहरूकै आँखाको सामुन्‍ने मानिसको दिसालाई दाउराको रूपमा प्रयोग गरेर त्‍यो पकाउनेछस् ।”
And you shall eat them [as] a barley cake: you shall bake them before their eyes in man's dung.
13 किनकि परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “यसको अर्थ यही हो कि इस्राएलीहरूलाई जुन-जुन जातिकहाँ म धपाउनेछु, उनीहरूका बिचमा तिनीहरूले यसरी नै दूषित भोजन खानेछन्‌ ।”
And you shall say, Thus says the Lord God of Israel; Thus shall the children of Israel eat unclean things among the Gentiles.
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, Not so, Lord God of Israel: surely my soul has not been defiled with uncleanness; nor have I eaten, that which died of itself or was torn of beasts from my birth until now; neither has any corrupt flesh entered 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 ।
And he said to me, Behold, I have given you dung of oxen instead of man's dung, and you shall prepare your loaves upon 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 ।
And he said to me, Son of man, behold, I break the support of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight and in lack; and shall drink water by measure, and in a state of ruin:
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 a man and his brother shall be brought to ruin, and they shall pine away in their iniquities.
