ʻIsikieli 4
1“And you, son of man, take a brick and lay it before you, and engrave on it a city, even Jerusalem.
1KO koe foki, “Foha ʻoe tangata, toʻo kiate koe ha makaʻumea, pea tuku ia ʻi ho ʻao, pea tohi ki ai ha fakatātā ki he kolo ko Selūsalema:
2And put siegeworks against it, and build a siege wall against it, and cast up a mound against it. Set camps also against it, and plant battering rams against it all around.
2Pea ke kāpui ʻaki ia ʻae tau, pea langa ha kolo ki ai, pea tanu puke ki ai, tuku foki ki ai ʻae nofoʻanga ʻoe tau, pea fokotuʻu takatakai ʻi ai ʻae meʻa teke ʻā.
3And you, take an iron griddle, and place it as an iron wall between you and the city; and set your face toward it, and let it be in a state of siege, and press the siege against it. This is a sign for the house of Israel.
3Pea ke toʻo foki kiate koe ʻae ukamea lafalafa, pea fokotuʻu ia ko e ʻā ukamea ʻi homo vahaʻa mo e kolo: pea ke fakahanga ho mata ki ai, pea ʻe takatakai ia, pea ko koe te ke tauʻi ia. ʻE hoko eni ko e fakaʻilonga ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli.
4“Then lie on your left side, and place the punishment of the house of Israel upon it. For the number of the days that you lie on it, you shall bear their punishment.
4Ke ke tokoto foki ki ho potu fakatoʻohema pea hili ki ai ʻae hia ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli! Pea ʻe tatau mo e lau ʻoe ʻaho ʻo hoʻo tokoto ki ai ʻa hoʻo fua ʻenau hia.
5For I assign to you a number of days, 390 days, equal to the number of the years of their punishment. So long shall you bear the punishment of the house of Israel.
5He kuo u hili kiate koe ʻae ngaahi taʻu ʻo ʻenau hia ʻo fakatatau ki hono lahi ʻoe ʻaho, ko e ʻaho ʻe tolungeau ma hivangofulu: ko ia te ke fua ʻae hia ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli.
6And when you have completed these, you shall lie down a second time, but on your right side, and bear the punishment of the house of Judah. Forty days I assign you, a day for each year.
6Pea ka ʻosi hoʻo fai ia, ke ke toe tokoto ki ho potu fakatoʻomataʻu, pea te ke fua ʻae hia ʻae fale ʻo Siuta ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu: pea kuo u tuʻutuʻuni ko e ʻaho ʻe taha ko e taʻu ia ʻe taha.
7And you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm bared, and you shall prophesy against the city.
7Ko ia te ke fakahanga ho mata ki he tauʻi ʻo Selūsalema, pea ʻe fakatelefua ho nima, pea te ke kikite ki ai.
8And behold, I will place cords upon you, so that you cannot turn from one side to the other, till you have completed the days of your siege.
8Pea vakai, te u ʻai ʻae haʻi kiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke fetafokiʻaki, kaeʻoua ke ke fakaʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ho taʻu.
9“And you, take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and emmer, and put them into a single vessel and make your bread from them. During the number of days that you lie on your side, 390 days, you shall eat it.
9“Toʻo foki kiate koe ʻae sito mo e paʻale, mo e piini, mo e leniteli, mo e mileti, pea mo e fitisi, pea ai fakataha ia ki he ipu, mo ke ngaohi mā mei ai, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia te ke tokoto fakatafa ai, te ke kai ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolungeau ma hivangofulu.
10And your food that you eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day; from day to day you shall eat it.
10Pea te ke kai fakatautau pe hoʻo meʻakai, ko e mamafa ʻoe sikeli ʻe uofulu ki he ʻaho ʻe taha: pea te ke kai vahevahe pe ia.
11And water you shall drink by measure, the sixth part of a hin; from day to day you shall drink.
11ʻE fua foki hoʻo vai ki he inu, ko e vahe ono ʻoe hini ʻe taha: pea te ke inu vahevahe pe ia.
12And you shall eat it as a barley cake, baking it in their sight on human dung.”
12Pea te ke kai ia ʻo hangē ko ha foʻi mā paʻale, pea te ke taʻo ʻaki ia ʻae meʻa kovi ʻae tangata, ʻi honau ʻao.”
13And the LORD said, “Thus shall the people of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them.”
13Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻE pehē ʻae kai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻenau mā fakalielia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi Senitaile, ʻaia te u kapusi ʻakinautolu ki ai.”
14Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I have never defiled myself. From my youth up till now I have never eaten what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has tainted meat come into my mouth.”
14Pea naʻaku toki pehē ai, “ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, vakai kuo teʻeki ai fakaʻuliʻi hoku laumālie; he kuo talu ʻeku kei siʻi ʻo aʻu ki heni ʻoku teʻeki te u kai ʻi ha meʻa ʻoku mate mahaki, pe ha meʻa kuo haehae; pea ʻoku teʻeki ai hoko ki hoku ngutu ha meʻakai fakalielia.”
15Then he said to me, “See, I assign to you cow’s dung instead of human dung, on which you may prepare your bread.”
15Pea naʻe toki pehē mai ʻe ia kiate au, “Vakai, ʻe tuku ʻae meʻa kovi ʻae tangata ka te ke teuteu ʻaki hoʻo mā ʻae teʻe pulu.”
16Moreover, he said to me, “Son of man, behold, I will break the supply of bread in Jerusalem. They shall eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and they shall drink water by measure and in dismay.
16Pea naʻa ne pehē foki kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, vakai te u maumauʻi ʻae tokotoko ʻoe mā ʻi Selūsalema; pea te nau kai mā fakatautau pe, pea ʻi he mamahi: pea te nau inu ʻi he vai kuo fuofua, ʻi he lilika:
17I will do this that they may lack bread and water, and look at one another in dismay, and rot away because of their punishment.
17Koeʻuhi te nau masiva ʻi he mā mo e vai pea te nau fesiofaki ʻi he manavahē, ʻonau fakaʻaʻau ki mui ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau angahala.”
