Jezekiel 4
1 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.
「人子啊，你要拿一塊磚，擺在你面前，將一座耶路撒冷城畫在其上，
2 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.
又圍困這城，造臺築壘，安營攻擊，在四圍安設撞錘攻城，
3 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.
又要拿個鐵鏊，放在你和城的中間，作為鐵牆。你要對面攻擊這城，使城被困；這樣，好作以色列家的預兆。
4 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.
「你要向左側臥，承當以色列家的罪孽；要按你向左側臥的日數，擔當他們的罪孽。
5 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.
因為我已將他們作孽的年數定為你向左側臥的日數，就是三百九十日，你要這樣擔當以色列家的罪孽。
6 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.
再者，你滿了這些日子，還要向右側臥，擔當猶大家的罪孽。我給你定規側臥四十日，一日頂一年。
7 So you shall set your face to the siege of Jerusalem, and shall strengthen your arm, and shall prophesy against it.
你要露出膀臂，面向被困的耶路撒冷，說預言攻擊這城。
8 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.
我用繩索捆綁你，使你不能輾轉，直等你滿了困城的日子。
9 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.
「你要取小麥、大麥、豆子、紅豆、小米、粗麥，裝在一個器皿中，用以為自己做餅；要按你側臥的三百九十日吃這餅。
10 And you shall eat your food by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shall you eat them.
你所吃的要按分兩吃，每日二十舍客勒，按時而吃。
11 And you shall drink water by measure, even from time to time you shall drink the sixth part of a hin.
你喝水也要按制子，每日喝一欣六分之一，按時而喝。
12 And you shall eat them [as] a barley cake: you shall bake them before their eyes in man's dung.
你吃這餅像吃大麥餅一樣，要用人糞在眾人眼前燒烤。」
13 And you shall say, Thus says the Lord God of Israel; Thus shall the children of Israel eat unclean things amongst the Gentiles.
耶和華說：「以色列人在我所趕他們到的各國中，也必這樣吃不潔淨的食物。」
14 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.
我說：「哎！主耶和華啊，我素來未曾被玷污，從幼年到如今沒有吃過自死的，或被野獸撕裂的，那可憎的肉也未曾入我的口。」
15 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.
於是他對我說：「看哪，我給你牛糞代替人糞，你要將你的餅烤在其上。」
16 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:
他又對我說：「人子啊，我必在耶路撒冷折斷他們的杖，就是斷絕他們的糧。他們吃餅要按分兩，憂慮而吃；喝水也要按制子，驚惶而喝；
17 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.
使他們缺糧缺水，彼此驚惶，因自己的罪孽消滅。」
