حِزْقِيَال 4

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

And thou, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it a city, even Jerusalem.

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

And lay siege against it, and build a tower against it, and cast up a mound against it; set a camp also against it, and place battering-rams against it round about.

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.

Moreover, take thou an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city; and set thy face against it, that it may be besieged; and lay siege against it. This shall be 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.

Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it. According to the number of days that thou shalt lie upon it, thou shalt bear their iniquity.

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

But for the years of their iniquity I appoint thee days, three hundred and ninety days; so long shalt thou bear 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 when thou hast brought them to an end, then lie upon thy right side, and bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days. I have appointed thee a day for a year.

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

And set thy face against besieged Jerusalem, and uncover thine arm, and prophesy against it!

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

And behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another till thou hast ended the days of thy 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.

Take thou also wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and spelt, and put them into one vessel, and make thereof thy bread for the number of days that thou shalt lie upon thy side; three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.

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

And thy food which thou eatest shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day; from time to time shalt thou eat it.

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

Thou shalt also drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin; from time to time shalt thou drink.

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

Thou shalt also eat barley-cakes; and with dung that cometh out of man shalt thou bake them in their sight.

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

And Jehovah said, Even thus shall the sons of Israel eat their polluted food among the nations, whither I will 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».

Then said I: Ah! Lord Jehovah, behold, I have never been polluted; for from my youth until now have I not eaten that which died of itself, or was torn in pieces; neither hath unclean food come into my mouth.

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

Then he said to me: Behold, I give thee cow's dung for man's dung; and with that shalt thou prepare thy food.

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

And 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 amazement;

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

so that they shall be in want of bread and water, and be astonished one at another, and consume away for their iniquity.
