Ezekiel 4
1 Thou also sonne of man, take thee a bricke, and lay it before thee, and pourtray vpon it the citie, euen Ierusalem,
「人子，你拿一塊磚，放在你面前，把一座耶路撒冷城刻劃在上面。
2 And lay siege against it, and builde a fort against it, and cast a mount against it: set the campe also against it, and lay engins of warre against it rounde about.
安排圍城的事；製造攻城的雲梯，堆起攻城的高台，擺列攻城的陣營，四周架起破城機。
3 Moreouer, take an yron pan, and set it for a wall of yron betweene thee and the citie, and direct thy face towarde it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it: this shall be a signe vnto the house of Israel.
再拿一個鐵鏊，將它立在你和城的中間，當作鐵牆。然後朝著城板起面孔，使城好像被圍困，你好像在攻城：這樣給以色列家一個徵兆。」
4 Sleepe thou also vpon thy left side, and lay the iniquitie of the house of Israel vpon it: according to the nomber of the dayes, that thou shalt sleepe vpon it, thou shalt beare their iniquity.
你要向左側臥下! 我把以色列家的罪惡放在你身上。你臥多少日子，就多少日子承擔他們的罪惡。
5 For I haue layed vpon thee the yeeres of their iniquitie, according to the nomber of the dayes, euen three hundreth and ninetie dayes: so shalt thou beare the iniquitie of the house of Israel.
我把他們犯罪的年數算為三百九十日，你要在這些日子內承擔以色列家的罪惡。
6 And when thou hast accomplished them, sleepe againe vpon thy right side, and thou shalt beare the iniquitie of the house of Iudah fourtie dayes: I haue appointed thee a day for a yeere, euen a day for a yeere.
滿了那些日子，你要向右側臥下，為承擔猶大家的罪惡，共四十日；我給你規定一日算一年。
7 Therefore thou shalt direct thy face towarde the siege of Ierusalem, and thine arme shalbe vncouered, and thou shalt prophesie against it.
你要朝著被圍困的耶路撒冷板起面孔，露出臂膊，向她預言。
8 And beholde, I will lay bands vpon thee, and thou shalt not turne thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the dayes of thy siege.
看，我要用繩索捆縛你，叫你不能輾轉反側，直到你被困的日子期滿。」「
9 Thou shalt take also vnto thee wheate, and barley, and beanes, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessell, and make thee bread thereof according to the nomber of the dayes, that thou shalt sleepe vpon thy side: euen three hundreth and ninetie dayes shalt thou eate thereof.
你要拿小麥、大麥、豆子、扁豆、黍米和粗麥，裝在一個器皿裏，用來為你做一些餅，在你三百九十日側臥的日子內，就吃這些餅。
10 And the meate, whereof thou shalt eate, shalbe by weight, euen twenty shekels a day: and from time to time shalt thou eate thereof.
每天要按分量吃，每日二十「協刻耳，」按時食用。
11 Thou shalt drinke also water by measure, euen the sixt part of an Hin: from time to time shalt thou drinke.
喝水也要有分量，每日喝六分之一「歆」的水，按時而飲。
12 And thou shalt eate it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it in the dongue that commeth out of man, in their sight.
你吃那食物像吃烙的大麥餅，且用人糞在他們眼前烤。」
13 And the Lord said, So shall the children of Israel eate their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will cast them.
上主說：「以色列子民也要這樣在我趕他們所到的異民中，吃不潔之物。」
14 Then said I, Ah, Lord God, beholde, my soule hath not bene polluted: for from my youth vp, euen vnto this houre, I haue not eaten of a thing dead, or torne in pieces, neither came there any vncleane flesh in my mouth.
我答說：「哎呀! 吾主上主! 我從來沒有受過玷污；從幼年到現在，沒有吃過自然死的，或被撕裂的獸肉；不潔的祭肉從未進過我的口。」
15 Then he said vnto me, Loe, I haue giuen thee bullockes dongue for mans dongue, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.
他向我說：「好罷! 我許你用牛糞代人糞烤你的餅。」
16 Moreouer, he said vnto me, Sonne of man, beholde, I will breake the staffe of bread in Ierusalem, and they shall eate bread by weight, and with care, and they shall drinke water by measure, and with astonishment.
他又向我說：「人子! 看，我要斷絕耶路撒冷的糧源，叫他們懷著焦慮吃配給的飯，懷著恐怖喝限制的水；
17 Because that bread and water shall faile, they shalbe astonied one with another, and shall consume away for their iniquitie.
甚至缺少食糧和水，個個消瘦，因自己的罪惡而歸於消滅。」
