Ezekiel 4
1 A ti, sine čovječji, uzmi opeku, postavi je preda se i nacrtaj na njoj grad Jeruzalem.
“Now you, son of man, take a brick, place it before you, and draw on it the city of Jerusalem.
2 Oko njega postavi opsadu, sagradi prema njemu utvrdu, podigni nasip, iskopaj oko njega opkop, razvrstaj vojsku i porazmjesti zidodere uokolo.
Then lay siege against it: Construct a siege wall, build a ramp to it, set up camps against it, and place battering rams around it on all sides.
3 Zatim uzmi gvozdenu ploču i postavi je kao gvozden bedem između sebe i grada te k njemu okreni lice, i bit će opsjednut. Pritisni ga! To je znak domu Izraelovu!
Then take an iron plate and set it up as an iron wall between yourself and the city. Turn your face toward it so that it is under siege, and besiege it. This will be a sign to the house of Israel.
4 Zatim lezi na svoju lijevu stranu i stavi na se grijeh doma Izraelova: koliko dana budeš tako ležao, toliko ćeš dana nositi njihov grijeh.
Then lie down on your left side and place the iniquity of the house of Israel upon yourself. You are to bear their iniquity for the number of days you lie on your side.
5 Dajem ti po dan za godine grijeha njihovih: sto i devedeset dana nosit ćeš grijeh doma Izraelova.
For I have assigned to you 390 days, according to the number of years of their iniquity. So you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6 A kad to završiš, četrdeset ćeš dana ležati na desnoj strani da nosiš grijeh doma Judina; dajem ti po dan za svaku godinu.
When you have completed these days, lie down again, but on your right side, and bear the iniquity of the house of Judah. I have assigned to you 40 days, a day for each year.
7 Tad okreni lice prema opsjedanom Jeruzalemu, pruži golu desnicu i prorokuj protiv njega.
You must turn your face toward the siege of Jerusalem with your arm bared, and prophesy against it.
8 A ja ću te užetima vezati da se ne možeš okretati s jedne strane na drugu dok ne navršiš dane svoje opsade.
Now behold, I will tie you up with ropes so you cannot turn from side to side until you have finished the days of your siege.
9 Uzmi pšenice, ječma, boba, leće, prosa i raži, stavi to u jednu posudu i pripravi od toga sebi kruh. Jest ćeš ga onoliko dana koliko budeš ležao na svojoj strani: sto i devedeset dana.
But take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt; put them in a single container and make them into bread for yourself. This is what you are to eat during the 390 days you lie on your side.
10 Jelo što ćeš ga jesti bit će izmjereno; dvadeset šekela na dan; a jest ćeš ga u određeno vrijeme.
You are to weigh out twenty shekels of food to eat each day, and you are to eat it at set times.
11 I vodu ćeš piti na mjeru: šestinu hina. Pit ćeš je u određeno vrijeme.
You are also to measure out a sixth of a hin of water to drink, and you are to drink it at set times.
12 A jest ćeš pogaču od ječma što ćeš je pred njima ispeći na ljudskim izmetinama.”
And you shall eat the food as you would a barley cake, after you bake it over dried human excrement in the sight of the people.”
13 I reče: “Tako će sinovi Izraelovi jesti svoj nečisti kruh među narodima među koje ću ih izagnati.”
Then the LORD said, “This is how the Israelites will eat their defiled bread among the nations to which I will banish them.”
14 Ja mu odgovorih: “Jao, Jahve Gospode, gle, moja duša nije okaljana, jer se od djetinjstva još ne okusih ničega uginulog ni rastrganog niti u moja usta ikad uđe meso nečisto.”
“Ah, Lord GOD,” I said, “I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now I have not eaten anything found dead or mauled by wild beasts. No unclean meat has ever entered my mouth.”
15 A on će: “Gle, dajem ti kravlju balegu umjesto ljudskih izmetina da na njoj ispečeš kruh!”
“Look,” He replied, “I will let you use cow dung instead of human excrement, and you may bake your bread over that.”
16 Još mi reče: “Sine čovječji, uništit ću u Jeruzalemu posljednju pričuvu kruha, i jest će kruh na mjeru i s tjeskobom, i pit će vodu na mjeru i sa zebnjom.
Then He told me, “Son of man, I am going to cut off the supply of food in Jerusalem. They will anxiously eat bread rationed by weight, and in despair they will drink water by measure.
17 Neka im nestane kruha i vode, neka usahnu zbog bezakonja svojega i jedan za drugim neka poginu!
So they will lack food and water; they will be appalled at the sight of one another wasting away in their iniquity.
