< इजकिएल 4 >
1 “तर ए मानिसको छोरो, आफ्नो निम्ति एउटा इँट लिएर त्यो तेरो सामु राख् । त्यसपछि त्यसमाथि यरूशलेमको नक्सा बना ।
“You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before yourself, and portray on 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 ।
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 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 ।
Take for yourself an iron pan and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city. Then set your face towards it. It will be besieged, and you 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 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 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 to you a number of days, even three hundred and ninety days. So you 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 ।
“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 तेरो अनुहार यरूशलेमको घेरातर्फ फर्काएर राख् र पाखुरा नाङ्गै राखेर त्यस सहरको विरुद्धमा अगमवाणी भन् ।
You shall set your face towards the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall prophesy against it.
8 किनभने हेर्! म तँलाई डोरीहरूले कसी राख्नेछु, यसरी तेरा घेराको दिन समाप्त नहोउञ्जेल तँ यताउता फर्कन सक्नेछैनस् ।
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 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 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 and ninety days, you shall eat of it.
10 तैंले खाने भोजनचाहिं तौलअनुसार हुनेछ, हरेक दिन बिस शेकेल दिनको र तोकिएको बेलामा तैंले त्यो खानेछस् ।
Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day. From time to time you shall eat it.
11 अनि तैंले एक माना पानी पिउनेछस्, त्यो तैंले तोकिएको तोकिएको बेलामा पिउनेछस् ।
You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin. From time to time you shall drink.
12 जौका केकजस्तै बनाएर तैंले खानेछस्, तर तैंले मानिसहरूकै आँखाको सामुन्ने मानिसको दिसालाई दाउराको रूपमा प्रयोग गरेर त्यो पकाउनेछस् ।”
You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you 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 ।”
The LORD said, “Even thus will the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, amongst 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 GOD! 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 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, “Behold, I have given you cow’s dung for man’s dung, and you shall prepare your bread on 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. They will eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness. They will 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, be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
