Ezekiel 4
1 “And you, son of man, take a brick for yourself, and you have put it before you, and have carved a city on it—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 have placed a siege against it, and built a fortification against it, and poured out a mound against it, and placed camps against it, indeed, set battering-rams against it all around.
又圍困這城，造臺築壘，安營攻擊，在四圍安設撞錘攻城，
3 And you, take an iron pan for yourself, and you have made it a wall of iron between you and the city; and you have prepared your face against it, and it has been in a siege, indeed, you have laid siege against it. It [is] a sign to the house 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, lie on your left side, and you have placed the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; the number of the days that you lie on it, you bear their iniquity.
「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 And I have laid the years of their iniquity on you, the number of days, three hundred and ninety days; and you have borne the iniquity 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 have completed these, and have lain on your right side, a second time, and have borne the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days—a day for a year—a day for a year I have appointed to you.
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 And to the siege of Jerusalem you prepare your face, and your arm [is] uncovered, and you have prophesied concerning 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 put thick bands on you, and you do not turn from side to side until your completing the days of your siege.
我用繩索捆綁你，使你不能輾轉，直等你滿了困城的日子。
9 And you, take for yourself wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and spelt, and you have put them in one vessel, and made them for bread for yourself; the number of the days that you are lying on your side—three hundred and ninety days—you eat it.
「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 your food that you eat [is] by weight, twenty shekels daily; from time to time you eat it.
你所吃的要按分兩吃，每日二十舍客勒，按時而吃。
11 And you drink water by measure, a sixth part of the hin; from time to time you drink [it].
你喝水也要按制子，每日喝一欣六分之一，按時而喝。
12 And you eat it [as] barley-cake, and it with dung—the filth of man—you bake before their eyes.”
你吃這餅像吃大麥餅一樣，要用人糞在眾人眼前燒烤。」
13 And YHWH says, “Thus the sons of Israel eat their defiled bread among the nations to where I drive them.”
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 And I say, “Aah! Lord YHWH, behold, my soul is not defiled, and carcass, and torn thing, I have not eaten from my youth, even until now; nor has abominable flesh come 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 says to me, “See, I have given to you bullock’s dung instead of man’s dung, and you have made your bread by 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 says to me, “Son of man, behold, I am breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they have eaten bread by weight and with fear; and water by measure and with astonishment, they drink;
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 so that they lack bread and water, and have been astonished with one another, and been consumed in their iniquity.”
使他們缺糧缺水，彼此驚惶，因自己的罪孽消滅。」
