Ezekiel 4
1 You also, son of man, take you a tile, and lay it before you, and portray on it the city, even Jerusalem:
Et tu fili hominis sume tibi laterem, et pones eum coram te: et describes in eo civitatem Ierusalem.
2 And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.
Et ordinabis adversus eam obsidionem, et aedificabis munitiones, et comportabis aggerem, et dabis contra eam castra, et pones arietes in gyro.
3 Moreover take you to you an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face against it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
Et tu sume tibi sartaginem ferream, et pones eam in murum ferreum inter te, et inter civitatem: et obfirmabis faciem tuam ad eam, et erit in obsidionem, et circumdabis eam: signum est domui Israel.
4 Lie you also 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.
Et tu dormies super latus tuum sinistrum, et pones iniquitates domus Israel super eo numero dierum, quibus dormies super illud, et assumes iniquitatem eorum.
5 For I have laid on you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shall you bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
Ego autem dedi tibi annos iniquitatis eorum, numero dierum trecentos et nonaginta dies: et portabis iniquitatem domus Israel.
6 And when you have accomplished them, lie again on your right side, and you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed you each day for a year.
Et cum compleveris haec, dormies super latus tuum dexterum secundo: et assumes iniquitatem domus Iuda quadraginta diebus. diem pro anno, diem, inquam, pro anno dedi tibi.
7 Therefore you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and your arm shall be uncovered, and you shall prophesy against it.
Et ad obsidionem Ierusalem convertes faciem tuam, et brachium tuum erit extentum: et prophetabis adversus eam.
8 And, behold, I will lay bands on you, and you shall not turn you from one side to another, till you have ended the days of your siege.
Ecce circumdedi te vinculis: et non te convertes a latere tuo in latus aliud, donec compleas dies obsidionis tuae.
9 Take you also to you wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make you bread thereof, according to the number of the days that you shall lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days shall you eat thereof.
Et tu sume tibi frumentum, et hordeum, et fabam, et lentem, et milium, et viciam: et mittes ea in vas unum, et facies tibi panes numero dierum, quibus dormies super latus tuum: trecentis et nonaginta diebus comedes illud.
10 And your meat which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shall you eat it.
Cibus autem tuus, quo vesceris, erit in pondere viginti stateres in die: a tempore usque ad tempus comedes illud.
11 You shall drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shall you drink.
Et aquam in mensura bibes, sextam partem hin: a tempore usque ad tempus bibes illud.
12 And you shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it with dung that comes out of man, in their sight.
Et quasi subcinericium hordeaceum comedes illud: et stercore, quod egreditur de homine, operies illud in oculis eorum.
13 And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them.
Et dixit Dominus: Si comedent filii Israel panem suum pollutum inter Gentes, ad quas eiiciam eos.
14 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul has not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.
Et dixi: Ah, ah, ah, Domine Deus, ecce anima mea non est polluta, et morticinum, et laceratum a bestiis non comedi ab infantia mea usque nunc, et non est ingressa in os meum omnis caro immunda.
15 Then he said to me, See, I have given you cow’s dung for man’s dung, and you shall prepare your bread therewith.
Et dixit ad me: Ecce dedi tibi fimum boum pro stercoribus humanis: et facies panem tuum in eo.
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 care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:
Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis: Ecce ego conteram baculum panis in Ierusalem: et comedent panem in pondere, et in solicitudine: et aquam in mensura, et in angustia bibent:
17 That they may want bread and water, and be astonished one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
Ut deficientibus pane et aqua, corruat unusquisque ad fratrem suum: et contabescent in iniquitatibus suis.
