Hisqiʼeel 4
1 “Yaa ilma namaa, gabatee suphee tokko fuudhii fuula kee dura kaaʼiitii kaartaa magaalaa Yerusaalem irratti kaasi.
"You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before yourself, and portray on it a city, 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 lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it; set camps also against it, and plant battering rams against it all around.
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.
Take for yourself an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face toward it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
4 “Ergasii cinaacha bitaatiin ciisiitii cubbuu mana Israaʼel of irra kaaʼi. Guyyaa cinaacha keetiin ciifte sana hundas ati cubbuu isaanii ni baatta.
"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 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 appointed the years of their iniquity to be to you a number of days, even three hundred ninety days: so you shall bear the iniquity of the house 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.
"Again, when you have accomplished these, you shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah: forty days, each day for a year, have I appointed it to you.
7 Fuula kee gara marfama Yerusaalemitti deebifadhuutii irree qullaadhaan isheetti raajii dubbadhu.
You shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall prophesy against it.
8 Hamma ati guyyoota marfama keetii fixattutti akka ati cinaacha tokko irraa gara cinaacha kaaniitti hin garagalleef ani funyoodhaan sin hidha.
Look, I lay bands on you, and you shall not turn you from one side to the other, until you have accomplished the days of your siege.
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.
"Take for yourself also wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make bread of it; according to the number of the days that you shall lie on your side, even three hundred ninety days, you shall eat of it.
10 Ati akka guyyaa guyyaan nyaattuuf nyaata saqilii digdama madaali; isas yeroo murteeffametti nyaadhu.
Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time you shall eat it.
11 Akkasuma bishaan safartuu iinii tokko harka jaʼa keessaa harka tokko safariitii yeroo murteeffametti dhugi.
You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time you shall drink.
12 Nyaata sanas akkuma Maxinoo garbuu nyaattutti nyaadhu; isas udaan namaa bobeesiitii Maxinoo tolchi.”
You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man."
13 Waaqayyos “Haala kanaan ijoolleen Israaʼel saboota ani itti isaan bittinneessu keessatti nyaata xuraaʼaa nyaatu” jedhe.
The LORD said, "Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive 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 GOD. Look, my soul has not been polluted; for from my youth up even until now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of animals; neither came there abominable flesh 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, "Look, I have given you cow's dung for man's dung, and you shall prepare your bread thereon."
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;
Moreover he said to me, "Son of man, look, 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 hanqinni midhaaniitii fi bishaanii ni jiraataatii. Isaanis naasuudhaan wal ilaalu; sababii cubbuu isaaniitiinis ni badu.
that they may want bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
