Ezekiel 4
1 "You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before yourself, and portray on it a city, even Jerusalem:
| וְאַתָּה בֶן־אָדָם קַח־לְךָ לְבֵנָה וְנָתַתָּה אוֹתָהּ לְפָנֶיךָ וְחַקּוֹתָ עָלֶיהָ עִיר אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ |
2 and lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it; set camps also against it, and plant battering rams against it all around.
| וְנָתַתָּה עָלֶיהָ מָצוֹר וּבָנִיתָ עָלֶיהָ דָּיֵק וְשָׁפַכְתָּ עָלֶיהָ סֹלְלָה וְנָתַתָּה עָלֶיהָ מַחֲנוֹת וְשִׂים־עָלֶיהָ כָּרִים סָבִֽיב׃ |
3 Take for yourself an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face toward it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
| וְאַתָּה קַח־לְךָ מַֽחֲבַת בַּרְזֶל וְנָתַתָּה אוֹתָהּ קִיר בַּרְזֶל בֵּינְךָ וּבֵין הָעִיר וַהֲכִינֹתָה אֶת־פָּנֶיךָ אֵלֶיהָ וְהָיְתָה בַמָּצוֹר וְצַרְתָּ עָלֶיהָ אוֹת הִיא לְבֵית יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
4 "Moreover lie 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.
| וְאַתָּה שְׁכַב עַל־צִדְּךָ הַשְּׂמָאלִי וְשַׂמְתָּ אֶת־עֲוֺן בֵּֽית־יִשְׂרָאֵל עָלָיו מִסְפַּר הַיָּמִים אֲשֶׁר תִּשְׁכַּב עָלָיו תִּשָּׂא אֶת־עֲוֺנָֽם׃ |
5 For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be to you a number of days, even three hundred ninety days: so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
| וַאֲנִי נָתַתִּֽי לְךָ אֶת־שְׁנֵי עֲוֺנָם לְמִסְפַּר יָמִים שְׁלֹשׁ־מֵאוֹת וְתִשְׁעִים יוֹם וְנָשָׂאתָ עֲוֺן בֵּֽית־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
6 "Again, when you have accomplished these, you shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah: forty days, each day for a year, have I appointed it to you.
| וְכִלִּיתָ אֶת־אֵלֶּה וְשָׁכַבְתָּ עַֽל־צִדְּךָ (הימיני) [הַיְמָנִי] שֵׁנִית וְנָשָׂאתָ אֶת־עֲוֺן בֵּית־יְהוּדָה אַרְבָּעִים יוֹם יוֹם לַשָּׁנָה יוֹם לַשָּׁנָה נְתַתִּיו לָֽךְ׃ |
7 You shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall prophesy against it.
| וְאֶל־מְצוֹר יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם תָּכִין פָּנֶיךָ וּֽזְרֹעֲךָ חֲשׂוּפָה וְנִבֵּאתָ עָלֶֽיהָ׃ |
8 Look, I lay bands on you, and you shall not turn you from one side to the other, until you have accomplished the days of your siege.
| וְהִנֵּה נָתַתִּי עָלֶיךָ עֲבוֹתִים וְלֹֽא־תֵהָפֵךְ מִֽצִּדְּךָ אֶל־צִדֶּךָ עַד־כַּלּוֹתְךָ יְמֵי מְצוּרֶֽךָ׃ |
9 "Take for yourself also wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make bread of it; according to the number of the days that you shall lie on your side, even three hundred ninety days, you shall eat of it.
| וְאַתָּה קַח־לְךָ חִטִּין וּשְׂעֹרִים וּפוֹל וַעֲדָשִׁים וְדֹחַן וְכֻסְּמִים וְנָתַתָּה אוֹתָם בִּכְלִי אֶחָד וְעָשִׂיתָ אוֹתָם לְךָ לְלָחֶם מִסְפַּר הַיָּמִים אֲשֶׁר־אַתָּה ׀ שׁוֹכֵב עַֽל־צִדְּךָ שְׁלֹשׁ־מֵאוֹת וְתִשְׁעִים יוֹם תֹּאכְלֶֽנּוּ׃ |
10 Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time you shall eat it.
| וּמַאֲכָֽלְךָ אֲשֶׁר תֹּאכְלֶנּוּ בְּמִשְׁקוֹל עֶשְׂרִים שֶׁקֶל לַיּוֹם מֵעֵת עַד־עֵת תֹּאכְלֶֽנּוּ׃ |
11 You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time you shall drink.
| וּמַיִם בִּמְשׂוּרָה תִשְׁתֶּה שִׁשִּׁית הַהִין מֵעֵת עַד־עֵת תִּשְׁתֶּֽה׃ |
12 You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man."
| וְעֻגַת שְׂעֹרִים תֹּאכְלֶנָּה וְהִיא בְּגֶֽלְלֵי צֵאַת הָֽאָדָם תְּעֻגֶנָה לְעֵינֵיהֶֽם׃ |
13 The LORD said, "Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them."
| וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה כָּכָה יֹאכְלוּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־לַחְמָם טָמֵא בַּגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר אַדִּיחֵם שָֽׁם׃ |
14 Then I said, "Ah Lord GOD. Look, my soul has not been polluted; for from my youth up even until now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of animals; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth."
| וָאֹמַר אֲהָהּ אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה הִנֵּה נַפְשִׁי לֹא מְטֻמָּאָה וּנְבֵלָה וּטְרֵפָה לֹא־אָכַלְתִּי מִנְּעוּרַי וְעַד־עַתָּה וְלֹא־בָא בְּפִי בְּשַׂר פִּגּֽוּל׃ |
15 Then he said to me, "Look, I have given you cow's dung for man's dung, and you shall prepare your bread thereon."
| וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי רְאֵה נָתַתִּֽי לְךָ אֶת־[צְפִיעֵי] (צפועי) הַבָּקָר תַּחַת גֶּֽלְלֵי הָֽאָדָם וְעָשִׂיתָ אֶֽת־לַחְמְךָ עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃ |
16 Moreover he said to me, "Son of man, look, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness; and they shall drink water by measure, and in dismay:
| וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי בֶּן־אָדָם הִנְנִי שֹׁבֵר מַטֵּֽה־לֶחֶם בִּירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם וְאָכְלוּ־לֶחֶם בְּמִשְׁקָל וּבִדְאָגָה וּמַיִם בִּמְשׂוּרָה וּבְשִׁמָּמוֹן יִשְׁתּֽוּ׃ |
17 that they may want bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
| לְמַעַן יַחְסְרוּ לֶחֶם וָמָיִם וְנָשַׁמּוּ אִישׁ וְאָחִיו וְנָמַקּוּ בַּעֲוֺנָֽם׃ |
