以西结书 4

1 “人子啊，你要拿一块砖，摆在你面前，将一座耶路撒冷城画在其上，

And you, son of man, take you a brick, and you shall set it before your face, and shall portray on it the city, [even] Jerusalem.

2 又围困这城，造台筑垒，安营攻击，在四围安设撞锤攻城，

And you shall 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 又要拿个铁鏊，放在你和城的中间，作为铁墙。你要对面攻击这城，使城被困；这样，好作以色列家的预兆。

And take you to yourself an iron pan, and you shall set it [for] an iron wall between you and the city: and you shall set your face against it, and it shall be in a siege, and you shall besiege it. This is a sign to the children of Israel.

4 “你要向左侧卧，承当以色列家的罪孽；要按你向左侧卧的日数，担当他们的罪孽。

And you shall lie upon your 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 you shall lie upon it: and you shall bear their iniquities.

5 因为我已将他们作孽的年数定为你向左侧卧的日数，就是三百九十日，你要这样担当以色列家的罪孽。

For I have appointed you their iniquities for a number of days, for a hundred and ninety days: so you shall bear the iniquities of the house of Israel.

6 再者，你满了这些日子，还要向右侧卧，担当犹大家的罪孽。我给你定规侧卧四十日，一日顶一年。

And you shall accomplish this, and [then] shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquities of the house of Juda forty days: I have appointed you a day for a year.

7 你要露出膀臂，面向被困的耶路撒冷，说预言攻击这城。

So you shall set your face to the siege of Jerusalem, and shall strengthen your arm, and shall prophesy against it.

8 我用绳索捆绑你，使你不能辗转，直等你满了困城的日子。

And, behold, I have prepared bonds for you, land you may not turn from your one side to the other, until the days of your siege shall be accomplished.

9 “你要取小麦、大麦、豆子、红豆、小米、粗麦，装在一个器皿中，用以为自己做饼；要按你侧卧的三百九十日吃这饼。

Take you also to you wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and bread-corn; and you shall cast them into one earthen vessel, and shall make them into loaves for yourself; and you shall eat them a hundred and ninety days, according to the number of the days [during] which you sleep on your side.

10 你所吃的要按分两吃，每日二十舍客勒，按时而吃。

And you shall eat your food by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shall you eat them.

11 你喝水也要按制子，每日喝一欣六分之一，按时而喝。

And you shall drink water by measure, even from time to time you shall drink the sixth part of a hin.

12 你吃这饼像吃大麦饼一样，要用人粪在众人眼前烧烤。”

And you shall eat them [as] a barley cake: you shall bake them before their eyes in man's dung.

13 耶和华说：“以色列人在我所赶他们到的各国中，也必这样吃不洁净的食物。”

And you shall say, Thus says the Lord God of Israel; Thus shall the children of Israel eat unclean things among the Gentiles.

14 我说：“哎！主耶和华啊，我素来未曾被玷污，从幼年到如今没有吃过自死的，或被野兽撕裂的，那可憎的肉也未曾入我的口。”

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 于是他对我说：“看哪，我给你牛粪代替人粪，你要将你的饼烤在其上。”

And he said to me, Behold, I have given you dung of oxen instead of man's dung, and you shall prepare your loaves upon it.

16 他又对我说：“人子啊，我必在耶路撒冷折断他们的杖，就是断绝他们的粮。他们吃饼要按分两，忧虑而吃；喝水也要按制子，惊惶而喝；

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 lack; and shall drink water by measure, and in a state of ruin:

17 使他们缺粮缺水，彼此惊惶，因自己的罪孽消灭。”

that they may lack bread and water; and a man and his brother shall be brought to ruin, and they shall pine away in their iniquities.
