Ezekiel 4
1 “Son of man, you are to take a brick, put in front of you, and draw a picture of the city of Jerusalem on it.
Du Menneskesøn tag dig en Teglsten, læg den for dig og indrids i den et Billede af en By, Jerusalem;
2 Show that it's under siege: establish a siege perimeter all around it, build a siege ramp against it, set up the enemy camps beside it, and put battering rams on all sides around it.
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 Put an iron plate between yourself and the city so it's like an iron wall. Face the city and demonstrate that it's under siege, and that you are the one attacking it. This is a symbolic warning to the people 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 Then lie on your left side and take the Israelites' sins on yourself. You will carry their sins for the number of days you lie on your side.
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 I will make you stay there for 390 days, representing the number of years of their sins. You will bear the sins of the Israelites.
Deres Misgernings Aar gør jeg til lige saa mange Dage for dig, 190 Dage; saa længe skal du bære Israels Hus's Misgerning.
6 Once you have finished doing this for these days, then you are to lie down again, but this time on your right side, and carry the sins of the people of Judah. I will make you stay there for 40 days, one day for every year.
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 Keep your face towards the siege of Jerusalem with your arm bared, and prophesy against it.
Og du skal rette dit Ansigt og din blottede Arm mod det omringede Jerusalem og profetere imod det.
8 Be ready, because now I'm going to tie you up with ropes so you can't move from side to side until the days of your siege are over.
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 Get some wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt, and mix them together in a storage jar. Use them to make bread for yourself. This is what you are to eat for the 390 days that you lie on your side.
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 You are allowed to eat twenty shekels weight of food each day, and you are to eat it at regular times.
og Maden, du faar, skal være efter Vægt, tyve Sekel daglig; du skal spise den een Gang daglig.
11 Measure out a sixth of a hin of water to drink, and you are to drink it at regular times.
Og Vand skal du drikke efter Maal, en Sjettedel Hin; du skal drikke een Gang daglig.
12 You are to eat the bread as you would a barley loaf. You are to bake it over a fire burning dried human excrement as everyone watches.”
Og som Bygkager skal du spise det og bage det ved Menneskeskarn i deres Paasyn.
13 Then the Lord said, “This is the way the Israelites will eat their unclean bread among the nations where I'll exile them.”
Og du skal sige: »Saa sige HERREN: Saaledes skal Israeliterne have urent Brød til Føde blandt de Folk, jeg bortstøder dem til!«
14 “Please no, Lord God!” I answered. “I have never made myself unclean. I haven't eaten anything found dead or killed by wild animals from the time I was young until now. I've never put unclean meat in 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 “All right,” he said. “I'll let you use cow manure instead of human excrement You can bake your bread over a fire using that.”
Da svarede han: »Vel, jeg tillader dig at tage Oksegødning i Stedet for Menneskeskarn og bage dit Brød derved.«
16 Then he went on, “Son of man, watch! I am going to put a stop to Jerusalem's food supply. Worried sick, they will eat bread rationed by weight. Despairing at what's happening, they will drink water measured in small amounts.
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 Running out of food and water, they will be horrified as they look at one another wasting away because of their sins.”
for at de maa mangle Brød og Vand og alle som een være slagne af Rædsel og hensmægte i deres Misgerning.
