Yehezkiel 4
1 Allah berkata, "Hai manusia fana, ambillah sebuah batu bata, letakkan di depanmu dan garislah di atasnya denah kota Yerusalem.
“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,
2 Lalu gambarkan suatu pengepungan terhadap kota itu, dengan parit-parit, timbunan-timbunan tanah, perkemahan-perkemahan dan alat-alat pendobrak di sekeliling temboknya.
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.
3 Ambillah panci besi dan anggaplah itu sebuah dinding besi; letakkanlah panci itu di antara engkau dan kota Yerusalem. Kemudian menghadaplah ke kota itu seakan-akan engkaulah yang mengepungnya. Itu akan menjadi lambang bagi bangsa Israel.
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.
4 Lalu berbaringlah miring ke kiri, dan Aku akan menimpakan kesalahan bangsa Israel kepadamu. Selama 390 hari engkau akan berbaring begitu dan menderita sengsara karena kesalahan mereka. Sehari engkau berbaring begitu melambangkan satu tahun hukuman bangsa Israel.
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.
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.
6 Setelah itu, berbaringlah miring ke kanan dan rasakanlah hukuman atas kesalahan Yehuda empat puluh hari lamanya, satu hari melambangkan satu tahun hukuman mereka.
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.
7 Pandanglah pengepungan Yerusalem. Acungkanlah tinjumu kepada kota itu dan sampaikanlah pesan-Ku tentang hukuman bagi mereka.
And to the siege of Jerusalem you prepare your face, and your arm [is] uncovered, and you have prophesied concerning it.
8 Engkau akan Kuikat sehingga tak dapat membalikkan tubuhmu dari kiri ke kanan atau sebaliknya sampai pengepungan itu berakhir.
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.
9 Sekarang, ambillah gandum, jelai, kacang merah, kacang polong, sekoi dan gandum halus. Campurkanlah itu semua dan buatlah roti. Itulah makananmu selama 390 hari engkau berbaring miring ke kiri itu.
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.
10 Roti itu harus kaubagi sedemikian rupa sehingga setiap hari engkau makan hanya 230 gram. Lebih dari itu tak boleh.
And your food that you eat [is] by weight, twenty shekels daily; from time to time you eat it.
11 Air minummu juga terbatas, yaitu dua cangkir sehari.
And you drink water by measure, a sixth part of the hin; from time to time you drink [it].
12 Buatlah api dengan kotoran manusia sebagai bahan bakarnya. Pangganglah rotimu di atas api itu dan makanlah roti itu di hadapan semua orang."
And you eat it [as] barley-cake, and it with dung—the filth of man—you bake before their eyes.”
13 TUHAN berkata, "Begitulah caranya orang Israel kelak memakan makanan yang dilarang oleh hukum Musa, pada waktu mereka Kubuang ke negeri-negeri asing."
And YHWH says, “Thus the sons of Israel eat their defiled bread among the nations to where I drive them.”
14 Tetapi aku menjawab, "Aduh TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi! Sejak kecil sampai sekarang, belum pernah aku menajiskan diriku dengan makanan bangkai binatang atau sisa mangsa binatang buas. Tak pernah aku makan makanan yang dianggap haram."
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.”
15 Maka Allah berkata, "Baiklah, sebagai ganti kotoran manusia, engkau boleh memakai kotoran sapi untuk membakar rotimu."
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.”
16 Kemudian Ia berkata lagi, "Hai manusia fana, Aku akan memusnahkan persediaan makanan di Yerusalem. Dengan cemas dan khawatir orang-orang akan membatasi makanan yang mereka makan dan air yang mereka minum.
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;
17 Mereka akan berputus asa karena kehabisan roti dan air, dan akhirnya mereka mati karena dosa-dosa mereka."
so that they lack bread and water, and have been astonished with one another, and been consumed in their iniquity.”
