Hisqiʼeel 4
1 “Yaa ilma namaa, gabatee suphee tokko fuudhii fuula kee dura kaaʼiitii kaartaa magaalaa Yerusaalem irratti kaasi.
And you, son of man, take a back and put it before you and on it make a picture of a town, even Jerusalem.
2 Ergasii waan ittiin marsan itti ijaari; dallaa dhagaatiin ishee marsi; kaabii itti naannessii tuuli; waan ittiin dallaa dhagaa jigsanis itti marsii kaaʼi.
And make an attack on it, shutting it in, building strong places against it, and making high an earthwork against it; and put up tents against it, placing engines all round it for smashing down its walls.
3 Eelee sibiilaa fuudhiitii akka dallaa sibiilaatti siʼii fi magaalattii gidduu dhaabi; fuula kees gara isheetti deebifadhu; magaalattiin ni marfamti; atis ishee marsita. Kunis mana Israaʼeliif mallattoo ni taʼa.
And take a flat iron plate, and put it for a wall of iron between you and the town: and let your face be turned to it, and it will be shut in and you will make an attack on it. This will be a sign to the children of Israel.
4 “Ergasii cinaacha bitaatiin ciisiitii cubbuu mana Israaʼel of irra kaaʼi. Guyyaa cinaacha keetiin ciifte sana hundas ati cubbuu isaanii ni baatta.
Then, stretching yourself out on your left side, take the sin of the children of Israel on yourself: for as long as you are stretched out, so long will the sin of the children of Israel be on you.
5 Ani baayʼina waggoota isaan itti cubbuu hojjetan sanaa akka guyyootaatti ramadee siif kenneera. Kanaafuu ati cubbuu mana Israaʼel guyyaa 390 ni baatta.
For I have had the years of their sin measured for you by a number of days, even three hundred and ninety days: and you will take on yourself the sin of the children of Israel.
6 “Ati erga waan kana fixxee booddee amma illee ciisi; yeroo kana immoo cinaacha kee kan mirgaatiin ciisiitii cubbuu mana Yihuudaa baadhu. Anis tokkoo tokkoo waggaatiif guyyaa tokko tokko ramadee, guyyaa 40 siif kenneera.
And when these days are ended, turning on your right side, you are to take on yourself the sin of the children of Judah: forty days, a day for a year, I have had it fixed for you.
7 Fuula kee gara marfama Yerusaalemitti deebifadhuutii irree qullaadhaan isheetti raajii dubbadhu.
And let your face be turned to where Jerusalem is shut in, with your arm uncovered, and be a prophet against it.
8 Hamma ati guyyoota marfama keetii fixattutti akka ati cinaacha tokko irraa gara cinaacha kaaniitti hin garagalleef ani funyoodhaan sin hidha.
And see, I will put bands on you; and you will be stretched out without turning from one side to the other till the days of your attack are ended.
9 “Qamadii fi garbuu, baaqelaa fi misira, bisingaa fi honborii fuudhii okkotee keessa kaaʼadhuutii ittiin buddeena tolfadhu. Buddeena kanas yeroo guyyoota 390 cinaacha keetiin ciiftutti nyaatta.
And take for yourself wheat and barley and different sorts of grain, and put them in one vessel and make bread for yourself from them; all the days when you are stretched on your side it will be your food.
10 Ati akka guyyaa guyyaan nyaattuuf nyaata saqilii digdama madaali; isas yeroo murteeffametti nyaadhu.
And you are to take your food by weight, twenty shekels a day: you are to take it at regular times.
11 Akkasuma bishaan safartuu iinii tokko harka jaʼa keessaa harka tokko safariitii yeroo murteeffametti dhugi.
And you are to take water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: you are to take it at regular times.
12 Nyaata sanas akkuma Maxinoo garbuu nyaattutti nyaadhu; isas udaan namaa bobeesiitii Maxinoo tolchi.”
And let your food be barley cakes, cooking it before their eyes with the waste which comes out of a man.
13 Waaqayyos “Haala kanaan ijoolleen Israaʼel saboota ani itti isaan bittinneessu keessatti nyaata xuraaʼaa nyaatu” jedhe.
And the Lord said, Even so the children of Israel will have unclean bread for their food among the nations where I am driving them.
14 Anis akkanan jedhe; “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa akkana miti! Ani takkumaa of xureessee hin beeku. Ijoollummaa kootii jalqabee hamma ammaatti takkumaa waan ofiin duʼe yookaan waan bineensi ajjeese nyaadhee hin beeku. Foon qulqulluu hin taʼin gonkumaa afaan koo seenee hin beeku.”
Then I said, Ah, Lord! see, my soul has never been unclean, and I have never taken as my food anything which has come to a natural death or has been broken by beasts, from the time when I was young even till now; no disgusting flesh has ever come into my mouth.
15 Innis, “Kun gaarii dha; ani akka ati qooda udaan namaatiin buddeena kee tolfattu akka dikee saʼaatiin tolfattu siifin eeyyama” naan jedhe.
Then he said to me, See, I have given you cow's waste in place of man's waste, and you will make your bread ready on it.
16 Innis ittuma fufee akkana naan jedhe: “Yaa ilma namaa ani madda nyaata Yerusaalem nan gogsa; uummanni nyaata safarame yaaddoodhaan nyaata; bishaan safarames sodaadhaan dhuga;
And he said to me, Son of man, see, I will take away from Jerusalem her necessary bread: they will take their bread by weight and with care, measuring out their drinking-water with fear and wonder:
17 hanqinni midhaaniitii fi bishaanii ni jiraataatii. Isaanis naasuudhaan wal ilaalu; sababii cubbuu isaaniitiinis ni badu.
So that they may be in need of bread and water and be wondering at one another, wasting away in their sin.
