以西結書 4
1 「人子，你拿一塊磚，放在你面前，把一座耶路撒冷城刻劃在上面。
And thou, son of man, take thee a brick, and thou shalt set it before thy face, and shalt portray on it the city, [even] Jerusalem.
2 安排圍城的事；製造攻城的雲梯，堆起攻城的高台，擺列攻城的陣營，四周架起破城機。
And thou shalt besiege it, and build works against it, and throw up a mound round about it, and pitch camps against it, and set up engines round about.
3 再拿一個鐵鏊，將它立在你和城的中間，當作鐵牆。然後朝著城板起面孔，使城好像被圍困，你好像在攻城：這樣給以色列家一個徵兆。」
And take thou to thyself an iron pan, and thou shalt set it [for] an iron wall between thee and the city: and thou shalt set thy face against it, and it shall be in a siege, and thou shalt besiege it. This is a sign to the children of Israel.
4 你要向左側臥下! 我把以色列家的罪惡放在你身上。你臥多少日子，就多少日子承擔他們的罪惡。
And thou shalt lie upon thy left side, and lay the iniquities of the house of Israel upon it, according to the number of the hundred and fifty days [during] which thou shalt lie upon it: and thou shalt bear their iniquities.
5 我把他們犯罪的年數算為三百九十日，你要在這些日子內承擔以色列家的罪惡。
For I have appointed thee their iniquities for a number of days, for a hundred and ninety days: so thou shalt bear the iniquities of the house of Israel.
6 滿了那些日子，你要向右側臥下，為承擔猶大家的罪惡，共四十日；我給你規定一日算一年。
And thou shalt accomplish this, and [then] shalt lie on thy right side, and shalt bear the iniquities of the house of Juda forty days: I have appointed thee a day for a year.
7 你要朝著被圍困的耶路撒冷板起面孔，露出臂膊，向她預言。
So thou shalt set thy face to the siege of Jerusalem, and shalt strengthen thine arm, and shalt prophesy against it.
8 看，我要用繩索捆縛你，叫你不能輾轉反側，直到你被困的日子期滿。」「
And, behold, I have prepared bonds for thee, land thou mayest not turn from thy one side to the other, until the days of thy siege shall be accomplished.
9 你要拿小麥、大麥、豆子、扁豆、黍米和粗麥，裝在一個器皿裏，用來為你做一些餅，在你三百九十日側臥的日子內，就吃這些餅。
Take thou also to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and bread-corn; and thou shalt cast them into one earthen vessel, and shalt make them into loaves for thyself; and thou shalt eat them a hundred and ninety days, according to the number of the days [during] which thou sleepest on thy side.
10 每天要按分量吃，每日二十「協刻耳，」按時食用。
And thou shalt eat thy food by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat them.
11 喝水也要有分量，每日喝六分之一「歆」的水，按時而飲。
And thou shalt drink water by measure, even from time to time thou shalt drink the sixth part of a hin.
12 你吃那食物像吃烙的大麥餅，且用人糞在他們眼前烤。」
And thou shalt eat them [as] a barley cake: thou shalt bake them before their eyes in man's dung.
13 上主說：「以色列子民也要這樣在我趕他們所到的異民中，吃不潔之物。」
And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel; Thus shall the children of Israel eat unclean things among the Gentiles.
14 我答說：「哎呀! 吾主上主! 我從來沒有受過玷污；從幼年到現在，沒有吃過自然死的，或被撕裂的獸肉；不潔的祭肉從未進過我的口。」
Then I said, Not so, Lord God of Israel: surely my soul has not been defiled with uncleanness; nor have I eaten, that which died of itself or was torn of beasts from my birth until now; neither has any corrupt flesh entered into my mouth.
15 他向我說：「好罷! 我許你用牛糞代人糞烤你的餅。」
And he said to me, Behold, I have given thee dung of oxen instead of man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy loaves upon it.
16 他又向我說：「人子! 看，我要斷絕耶路撒冷的糧源，叫他們懷著焦慮吃配給的飯，懷著恐怖喝限制的水；
And he said to me, Son of man, behold, I break the support of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight and in want; and shall drink water by measure, and in a state of ruin:
17 甚至缺少食糧和水，個個消瘦，因自己的罪惡而歸於消滅。」
that they may want bread and water; and a man and his brother shall be brought to ruin, and they shall pine away in their iniquities.
