حِزْقِيال 4

١ 1 «أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ فَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ لِبْنَةً وَابْسُطْهَا أَمَامَكَ وَارْسُمْ عَلَيْهَا مَدِينَةَ أُورُشَلِيمَ،

“You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before yourself, and portray on it a city, even Jerusalem.

٢ 2 وَأَقِمْ عَلَيْهَا حِصَاراً، وَابْنِ بُرْجاً، وَانْصِبْ عَلَيْهَا مِتْرَاساً، وَطَوِّقْهَا بِالْجُيُوشِ، وَأَحِطْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ بِالْمَجَانِقِ،

Lay siege against it, build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it. Also set camps against it and plant battering rams against it all around.

٣ 3 ثُمَّ خُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ صَاجاً مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَاجْعَلْهُ سُوراً مِنْ حَدِيدٍ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَثَبِّتْ وَجْهَكَ عَلَيْهَا فَتُصْبِحَ مُحَاصَرَةً وَأَنْتَ تُحَاصِرُهَا، فَتَكُونَ هَذِهِ عَلامَةً لِشَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Take for yourself an iron pan and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city. Then set your face towards it. It will be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.

٤ 4 أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَاتَّكِئْ عَلَى جَانِبِكَ الأَيْسَرِ، وَضَعْ عَلَيْهِ إِثْمَ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِذْ أَنَّكَ تَحْمِلُ إِثْمَهُمْ عَلَى حَسَبِ عَدَدِ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي تَتَّكِئُ فِيهَا عَلَيْهِ.

“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.

٥ 5 فَإِنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُ لَكَ عَدَدَ أَيَّامٍ كَعَدَدِ سَنَوَاتِ إِثْمِهِمْ: ثَلاثَ مِئَةٍ وَتِسْعِينَ يَوْماً. فَتَحْمِلُ عِبْءَ إِثْمِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be to you a number of days, even three hundred and ninety days. So you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

٦ 6 وَحَالَمَا تُكْمِلُهَا عُدْ فَاتَّكِئْ عَلَى جَانِبِكَ الأَيْمَنِ، وَاحْمِلْ إِثْمَ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً. إِذْ جَعَلْتُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مُقَابِلَ سَنَةٍ.

“Again, when you have accomplished these, you shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah. I have appointed forty days, each day for a year, to you.

٧ 7 ثُمَّ ثَبِّتْ وَجْهَكَ نَحْوَ حِصَارِ أُورُشَلِيمَ بِذِرَاعٍ مَكْشُوفَةٍ، وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهَا،

You shall set your face towards the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall prophesy against it.

٨ 8 وَهَا أَنَا أُوْثِقُكَ بِحِبَالٍ لِئَلّا تَتَقَلَّبَ مِنْ جَنْبٍ إِلَى جَنْبٍ حَتَّى تَكْتَمِلَ أَيَّامُ حِصَارِكَ.

Behold, I put ropes on you, and you shall not turn yourself from one side to the other, until you have accomplished the days of your siege.

٩ 9 أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ قَمْحاً وَشَعِيراً وَفُولاً وَعَدَساً وَذُرَةً وَكَرْسَنَّةً، وَاعْجِنْهَا فِي وَعَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَاصْنَعْ لِنَفْسِكَ خُبْزاً تَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ ثَلاثَ مِئَةٍ وَتِسْعِينَ يَوْماً كَعَدَدِ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي تَتَّكِئُ فِيهَا عَلَى جَنْبِكَ.

“Take for yourself also wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel. Make bread of it. According to the number of the days that you will lie on your side, even three hundred and ninety days, you shall eat of it.

١٠ 10 وَيَكُونُ وَزْنُ كَمِّيَّةِ الطَّعَامِ الَّتِي تَأْكُلُهَا فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ تُعَادِلُ عِشْرِينَ شَاقِلاً (نَحْوَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جِرَاماً). تَأْكُلُ وَجْبَةً وَاحِدَةً فِي الْيَوْمِ.

Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day. From time to time you shall eat it.

١١ 11 وَتَشْرَبُ الْمَاءَ بِالْكَيْلِ، فَلا يَزِيدُ عَنْ سُدْسِ الهِينِ (نَحْوَ ثُلْثَيْ لِتْرٍ)، تَشْرَبُ مِنْهُ بَيْنَ حِينٍ وَآخَرَ.

You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin. From time to time you shall drink.

١٢ 12 وَتَأْكُلُهُ كَكَعْكِ الشَّعِيرِ، بَعْدَ أَنْ تَخْبِزَهُ عَلَى مَشْهَدٍ مِنْهُمْ فَوْقَ بِرَازِ الإِنْسَانِ.

You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.”

١٣ 13 لأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا سَيَأْكُلُ أَبْنَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ خُبْزَهُمُ النَّجِسَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ أُجْلِيهِمْ إِلَيْهِمْ».

The LORD said, “Even thus will the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, amongst the nations where I will drive them.”

١٤ 14 وَلَكِنِّي قُلْتُ: «آهِ، أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، أَنَا لَمْ أُنَجِّسْ نَفْسِي أَبَداً فَمُنْذُ حَدَاثَتِي حَتَّى الآنَ لَمْ آكُلْ مَيْتَةً أَوْ فَرِيسَةً، وَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ فَمِي لَحْمٌ نَجِسٌ».

Then I said, “Ah Lord GOD! Behold, my soul has not been polluted; for from my youth up even until now I have not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of animals. No abominable meat has come into my mouth!”

١٥ 15 فَقَالَ: «انْظُرْ هَا أَنَا أُعْطِيكَ بَعْرَ الْبَقَرِ لِتَسْتَعِيضَ بِهِ عَنْ بِرَازِ الإِنْسَانِ لِتَصْنَعَ عَلَيْهِ خُبْزَكَ.

Then he said to me, “Behold, I have given you cow’s dung for man’s dung, and you shall prepare your bread on it.”

١٦ 16 يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَا أَنَا أَبِيدُ مَؤُونَةَ الْخُبْزِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَيَأْكُلُونَ الْخُبْزَ بِالْوَزْنِ مَعْجُوناً بِالْغَمِّ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ الْمَاءَ بِالْكَيْلِ مَمْزُوجاً بِالْحَيْرَةِ.

Moreover he said to me, “Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem. They will eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness. They will drink water by measure, and in dismay;

١٧ 17 إِذْ يُعْوِزُهُمُ الْخُبْزُ وَالْمَاءُ، وَيَلْجَأُ الْوَاحِدُ إِلَى أَخِيهِ وَقَدِ اعْتَرَتْهُمُ الْحَيْرَةُ فَيَفْنَوْنَ جَمِيعاً بِإِثْمِهِمْ.

that they may lack bread and water, be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
