Ezekiel 4
1 Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it a city, even Jerusalem.
Du Menneskesøn tag dig en Teglsten, læg den for dig og indrids i den et Billede af en By, Jerusalem;
2 And lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it. Also set camps against it, and plant battering rams against it round about.
og kast en Vold op omkring den, byg Belejringstaarne, opkast Stormvold, lad Hære lejre sig imod den og rejs Stormbukke mod den fra alle Sider;
3 And take thou to thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city. And set thy face toward it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
tag dig saa en Jernpande og sæt den som en Jernvæg op mellem dig og Byen og ret dit Ansigt imod den. Saaledes skal den være omringet, og du skal trænge den. Det skal være Israels Hus et Tegn.
4 Moreover lie thou upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it. According to the number of the days that thou shall lie upon it, thou shall bear their iniquity.
Og læg du dig paa din venstre Side og tag, Israels Hus's Misgerning paa dig; alle de Dage du ligger saaledes, skal du bære deres Misgerning.
5 For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be a number of days to thee, even three hundred and ninety days. So thou shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
Deres Misgernings Aar gør jeg til lige saa mange Dage for dig, 190 Dage; saa længe skal du bære Israels Hus's Misgerning.
6 And again, when thou have accomplished these, thou shall lie on thy right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days, each day for a year. I have appointed it to thee.
Og naar de er til Ende, læg dig saa paa din højre Side og bær Judas Hus's Misgerning 40 Dage; for hvert Aar giver jeg dig en Dag.
7 And thou shall set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with thine arm uncovered, and thou shall prophesy against it.
Og du skal rette dit Ansigt og din blottede Arm mod det omringede Jerusalem og profetere imod det.
8 And, behold, I lay bands upon thee, and thou shall not turn thee from one side to the other, till thou have accomplished the days of thy siege.
Og se, jeg lægger Baand paa dig, saa du ikke kan vende dig fra den ene Side til den anden, før din Belejrings Dage er til Ende.
9 Also take thou to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread of it, according to the number of the days that thou shall lie upon thy side, even three hundred and ninety days, thou shall eat of it.
Og tag du dig Hvede, Byg, Bønner, Linser, Hirse og Spelt, kom det i et og samme Kar og lav dig Brød deraf; alle de Dage du ligger paa Siden, 190 Dage, skal det være din Mad;
10 And thy food which thou shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day. Thou shall eat it from time to time.
og Maden, du faar, skal være efter Vægt, tyve Sekel daglig; du skal spise den een Gang daglig.
11 And thou shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin. Thou shall drink from time to time.
Og Vand skal du drikke efter Maal, en Sjettedel Hin; du skal drikke een Gang daglig.
12 And thou shall eat it as barley cakes, and thou shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.
Og som Bygkager skal du spise det og bage det ved Menneskeskarn i deres Paasyn.
13 And Jehovah said, Even thus shall the sons of Israel eat their bread unclean among the nations where I will drive them.
Og du skal sige: »Saa sige HERREN: Saaledes skal Israeliterne have urent Brød til Føde blandt de Folk, jeg bortstøder dem til!«
14 Then I said, Ah lord Jehovah! Behold, my soul has not been polluted. For from my youth up even till now I have not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of beasts, neither has abominable flesh come into my mouth.
Men jeg sagde: »Ak, Herre, HERRE, jeg har endnu aldrig været uren; noget selvdødt eller sønderrevet har jeg fra Barnsben aldrig spist, og urent Kød kom aldrig i min Mund!«
15 Then he said to me, See, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shall prepare thy bread of it.
Da svarede han: »Vel, jeg tillader dig at tage Oksegødning i Stedet for Menneskeskarn og bage dit Brød derved.«
16 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they shall eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness, and they shall drink water by measure, and in dismay,
Videre sagde han til mig: Menneskesøn! Se, jeg bryder Brødets Støttestav i Jerusalem; Brød skal de spise efter Vægt og i Angst, og Vand skal de drikke efter Maal og i Rædsel,
17 that they may lack bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
for at de maa mangle Brød og Vand og alle som een være slagne af Rædsel og hensmægte i deres Misgerning.
