< Ezekiel 4 >

1 Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it the city, even Jerusalem:
Ihe ka, ana’ ondatio, angalao birike vaho apoho aolo’o eo vaho sokiro ama’e ty saren-drova, toe Ierosalaime;
2 And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mound against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it on every side.
le ampiarikoboño mpialy, andranjio kijolim-pikalañe, vaho amotrio tamboho hahàlañe aze; itseneo tobe hiatrek’ aze, vaho bodem-pidosy añariariañe.
3 Moreover take thou to thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
Angalao endraendra ka le ajadoño ho kijoly viñe añivo’o naho i rovay eo; atoliho ama’e ty lahara’o ho fañarikatohañe, le ihe ty hanarokohok’ aze ho viloñe amy anjomba’ Israeley.
4 Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.
Ie amy zao, mihoriràña ankavia, hibabe o hakeo’ i anjomba’ Israeleio; mira amo andro andrea’o ama’eo, ty hibabea’o o tahi’eo.
5 For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
Fa tinendreko ho mira amo taom-pandilara’ iareoo ty ia’ ty andro ama’o; aa le telon-jato-tsi-sivam-polo andro ty hivavea’o ty hakeo’ i anjom­ba’ Israeley.
6 And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.
Ie nihenefa’o izay vaho hihoriraña’o ankavana hivavea’o o tahi’ i anjomba’ Iehodàio; efa polo andro; andro raik’ ami’ty taoñe raike, ty tinendreko ho azo.
7 Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thy arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.
Hampitolihe’o mb’amy fanameañe Ierosalaimey ty lahara’o, tsy ho aman-tsa­ro­ñe ty sira’o, vaho hitokia’o.
8 And, behold, I will lay cords upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.
Ingo fa hapetako ama’o ty rohy, tsy hivariña’o mb’ ami’ty ila’e, ampara’ te nihenefa’o ty androm-pañarikatoha’o.
9 Take thou also to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread of them, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat of it.
Mindesa vare-bolè, vare hordea, mahalay, ampemba, le kosemete naho ajoño am-balàñe, vaho anokono mofo; fa mira amo andro ihoriraña’o añ’ila’oo, i telon-jato-tsy-sivam-polo rey, ty hikamà’o.
10 And thy food which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.
Ty mahakama ho kamae’o le ho aman-danja, roapolo sekele ami’ ty andro raike; hikama’o erike.
11 Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.
Rano ka ty ho kamae’o ami’ty fañarana’e, ty am-paha-ene’ ty hine, hikama’o erike.
12 And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.
Aa le ho kamae’o hoe mofom-bare-hordea, vaho hatoko’o am-piamonto’ ondaty añatrefa’ iereo eo.
13 And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them.
Le hoe t’Iehovà, Hanahake izay ka ty hikama’ o ana’ Israeleo aman-deotse ty mofo iareo, amo kilakila’ ndaty handroahako iareoo.
14 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither hath abominable flesh come into my mouth.
Le hoe iraho, Ehe ry Iehovà Talè! Toe mbe tsy nileoreñe ty fiaiko; fa boak’ ami’ty naha’ ajaja ahy am-para’ te henane, mboe tsy nihinanako o raha nimate avaoo, ndra o nirimitem-bibio; mbore tsy nimoak’ am-bavako ao ty hena faly.
15 Then he said to me, Lo, I have given thee cow’s dung for man’s dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread with them.
Aa le hoe re amako, Ingo, arè, fa tinoloko taik’ombe hasolo ty fiamonto’ ondaty, le atokono ama’e ty mofo’o.
16 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 care; and they shall drink water by measure, and in horror:
Natovo’e ty hoe: O ana’ondatio, toe ho pozaheko ty boda-mofo e Ierosa­laime ao, le ho kamae’ iareo ty mofo an-danja am-pivazobazotse; naho ho kamae’ iareo an-kapoake ty rano, an-kalonjerañe;
17 That they may lack bread and water, and be appalled one with another, and pine away for their iniquity.
amy t’ie tsy ho ene-mofo naho rano, naho hifampitalahatse aman-tofotse vaho hinike ty amo hakeo’iareoo.
