حِزْقِيَال 4

١ 1 «وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ لِبْنَةً وَضَعْهَا أَمَامَكَ، وَٱرْسُمْ عَلَيْهَا مَدِينَةَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

“And you, son of man, take a brick for yourself, and you have put it before you, and have carved a city on it—Jerusalem,

٢ 2 وَٱجْعَلْ عَلَيْهَا حِصَارًا، وَٱبْنِ عَلَيْهَا بُرْجًا، وَأَقِمْ عَلَيْهَا مِتْرَسَةً، وَٱجْعَلْ عَلَيْهَا جُيُوشًا، وَأَقِمْ عَلَيْهَا مَجَانِقَ حَوْلَهَا.

and have placed a siege against it, and built a fortification against it, and poured out a mound against it, and placed camps against it, indeed, set battering-rams against it all around.

٣ 3 وَخُذْ أَنْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ صَاجًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَٱنْصِبْهُ سُورًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَثَبِّتْ وَجْهَكَ عَلَيْهَا، فَتَكُونَ فِي حِصَارٍ وَتُحَاصِرَهَا. تِلْكَ آيَةٌ لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And you, take an iron pan for yourself, and you have made it a wall of iron between you and the city; and you have prepared your face against it, and it has been in a siege, indeed, you have laid siege against it. It [is] a sign to the house of Israel.

٤ 4 «وَٱتَّكِئْ أَنْتَ عَلَى جَنْبِكَ ٱلْيَسَارِ، وَضَعْ عَلَيْهِ إِثْمَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. عَلَى عَدَدِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا تَتَّكِئُ عَلَيْهِ تَحْمِلُ إِثْمَهُمْ.

And you, lie on your left side, and you have placed the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; the number of the days that you lie on it, you bear their iniquity.

٥ 5 وَأَنَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُ لَكَ سِنِي إِثْمِهِمْ حَسَبَ عَدَدِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، ثَلَاثَ مِئَةِ يَوْمٍ وَتِسْعِينَ يَوْمًا، فَتَحْمِلُ إِثْمَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And I have laid the years of their iniquity on you, the number of days, three hundred and ninety days; and you have borne the iniquity of the house of Israel.

٦ 6 فَإِذَا أَتْمَمْتَهَا، فَٱتَّكِئْ عَلَى جَنْبِكَ ٱلْيَمِينِ أَيْضًا، فَتَحْمِلَ إِثْمَ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا. فَقَدْ جَعَلْتُ لَكَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ عِوَضًا عَنْ سَنَةٍ.

And you have completed these, and have lain on your right side, a second time, and have borne the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days—a day for a year—a day for a year I have appointed to you.

٧ 7 فَثَبِّتْ وَجْهَكَ عَلَى حِصَارِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَذِرَاعُكَ مَكْشُوفَةٌ، وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهَا.

And to the siege of Jerusalem you prepare your face, and your arm [is] uncovered, and you have prophesied concerning it.

٨ 8 وَهَأَنَذَا أَجْعَلُ عَلَيْكَ رُبُطًا فَلَا تَقْلِبُ مِنْ جَنْبٍ إِلَى جَنْبٍ حَتَّى تُتَمِّمَ أَيَّامَ حِصَارِكَ.

And behold, I have put thick bands on you, and you do not turn from side to side until your completing the days of your siege.

٩ 9 «وَخُذْ أَنْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ قَمْحًا وَشَعِيرًا وَفُولًا وَعَدَسًا وَدُخْنًا وَكَرْسَنَّةَ وَضَعْهَا فِي وِعَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَٱصْنَعْهَا لِنَفْسِكَ خُبْزًا كَعَدَدِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي تَتَّكِئُ فِيهَا عَلَى جَنْبِكَ. ثَلَاثَ مِئَةِ يَوْمٍ وَتِسْعِينَ يَوْمًا تَأْكُلُهُ.

And you, take for yourself wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and spelt, and you have put them in one vessel, and made them for bread for yourself; the number of the days that you are lying on your side—three hundred and ninety days—you eat it.

١٠ 10 وَطَعَامُكَ ٱلَّذِي تَأْكُلُهُ يَكُونُ بِٱلْوَزْنِ. كُلَّ يَوْمٍ عِشْرِينَ شَاقِلًا. مِنْ وَقْتٍ إِلَى وَقْتٍ تَأْكُلُهُ.

And your food that you eat [is] by weight, twenty shekels daily; from time to time you eat it.

١١ 11 وَتَشْرَبُ ٱلْمَاءَ بِٱلْكَيْلِ، سُدْسَ ٱلْهِينِ، مِنْ وَقْتٍ إِلَى وَقْتٍ تَشْرَبُهُ.

And you drink water by measure, a sixth part of the hin; from time to time you drink [it].

١٢ 12 وَتَأْكُلُ كَعْكًا مِنَ ٱلشَّعِيرِ. عَلَى ٱلْخُرْءِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ تَخْبِزُهُ أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ».

And you eat it [as] barley-cake, and it with dung—the filth of man—you bake before their eyes.”

١٣ 13 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هَكَذَا يَأْكُلُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ خُبْزَهُمُ ٱلنَّجِسَ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَطْرُدُهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ».

And YHWH says, “Thus the sons of Israel eat their defiled bread among the nations to where I drive them.”

١٤ 14 فَقُلْتُ: «آهِ، يَا سَيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، هَا نَفْسِي لَمْ تَتَنَجَّسْ. وَمِنْ صِبَايَ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ لَمْ آكُلْ مِيتَةً أَوْ فَرِيسَةً، وَلَا دَخَلَ فَمِي لَحْمٌ نَجِسٌ».

And I say, “Aah! Lord YHWH, behold, my soul is not defiled, and carcass, and torn thing, I have not eaten from my youth, even until now; nor has abominable flesh come into my mouth.”

١٥ 15 فَقَالَ لِي: «اُنْظُرْ. قَدْ جَعَلْتُ لَكَ خِثْيَ ٱلْبَقَرِ بَدَلَ خُرْءِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، فَتَصْنَعُ خُبْزَكَ عَلَيْهِ».

And He says to me, “See, I have given to you bullock’s dung instead of man’s dung, and you have made your bread by it.”

١٦ 16 وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، هَأَنَذَا أُكَسِّرُ قِوَامَ ٱلْخُبْزِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَيَأْكُلُونَ ٱلْخُبْزَ بِٱلْوَزْنِ وَبِٱلْغَمِّ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ ٱلْمَاءَ بِٱلْكَيْلِ وَبِٱلْحَيْرَةِ،

And He says to me, “Son of man, behold, I am breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they have eaten bread by weight and with fear; and water by measure and with astonishment, they drink;

١٧ 17 لِكَيْ يُعْوِزَهُمُ ٱلْخُبْزُ وَٱلْمَاءُ، وَيَتَحَيَّرُوا ٱلرَّجُلُ وَأَخُوهُ وَيَفْنَوْا بِإِثْمِهِمْ».

so that they lack bread and water, and have been astonished with one another, and been consumed in their iniquity.”
