Ezekiel 4
1 A ti, sine čovječji, uzmi opeku, postavi je preda se i nacrtaj na njoj grad Jeruzalem.
“You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before yourself, and portray on it a city, even Jerusalem.
2 Oko njega postavi opsadu, sagradi prema njemu utvrdu, podigni nasip, iskopaj oko njega opkop, razvrstaj vojsku i porazmjesti zidodere uokolo.
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.
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!
Take for yourself an iron pan and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city. Then set your face toward it. It will be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall 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.
“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.
5 Dajem ti po dan za godine grijeha njihovih: sto i devedeset dana nosit ćeš grijeh doma Izraelova.
For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be to you a number of days, even three hundred ninety days. 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.
“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.
7 Tad okreni lice prema opsjedanom Jeruzalemu, pruži golu desnicu i prorokuj protiv njega.
You shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall 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.
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.
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.
“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 ninety days, you shall eat of it.
10 Jelo što ćeš ga jesti bit će izmjereno; dvadeset šekela na dan; a jest ćeš ga u određeno vrijeme.
Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day. From time to time you shall eat it.
11 I vodu ćeš piti na mjeru: šestinu hina. Pit ćeš je u određeno vrijeme.
You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin. From time to time you shall drink.
12 A jest ćeš pogaču od ječma što ćeš je pred njima ispeći na ljudskim izmetinama.”
You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.”
13 I reče: “Tako će sinovi Izraelovi jesti svoj nečisti kruh među narodima među koje ću ih izagnati.”
Yahweh said, “Even thus will the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive 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.”
Then I said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! 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!”
15 A on će: “Gle, dajem ti kravlju balegu umjesto ljudskih izmetina da na njoj ispečeš kruh!”
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.”
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.
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;
17 Neka im nestane kruha i vode, neka usahnu zbog bezakonja svojega i jedan za drugim neka poginu!
that they may lack bread and water, be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
