< 에스겔 4 >

1 너 인자야! 박석을 가져다가 네 앞에 놓고 한 성읍 곧 예루살렘을 그 위에 그리고
And you, son of man, take a back and put it before you and on it make a picture of a town, even Jerusalem.
2 그 성읍을 에워싸되 운제를 세우고 토둔을 쌓고 진을 치고 공성퇴를 둘러 세우고
And make an attack on it, shutting it in, building strong places against it, and making high an earthwork against it; and put up tents against it, placing engines all round it for smashing down its walls.
3 또 전철을 가져다가 너와 성읍 사이에 두어 철성을 삼고 성을 향하여 에워싸는 것처럼 에워싸라 이것이 이스라엘 족속에게 징조가 되리라
And take a flat iron plate, and put it for a wall of iron between you and the town: and let your face be turned to it, and it will be shut in and you will make an attack on it. This will be a sign to the children of Israel.
4 너는 또 좌편으로 누워 이스라엘 족속의 죄악을 당하되 네 눕는 날 수대로 그 죄악을 담당할지니라
Then, stretching yourself out on your left side, take the sin of the children of Israel on yourself: for as long as you are stretched out, so long will the sin of the children of Israel be on you.
5 내가 그들의 범죄한 햇수대로 네게 날수를 정하였나니 곧 삼백 구십일이니라 너는 이렇게 이스라엘 족속의 죄악을 담당하고
For I have had the years of their sin measured for you by a number of days, even three hundred and ninety days: and you will take on yourself the sin of the children of Israel.
6 그 수가 차거든 너는 우편으로 누워 유다 족속의 죄악을 담당하라 내가 네게 사십일로 정하였나니 일일이 일년이니라
And when these days are ended, turning on your right side, you are to take on yourself the sin of the children of Judah: forty days, a day for a year, I have had it fixed for you.
7 너는 또 에워싼 예루살렘을 향하여 팔을 벗어메고 예언하라
And let your face be turned to where Jerusalem is shut in, with your arm uncovered, and be a prophet against it.
8 내가 줄로 너를 동이리니 네가 에워싸는 날이 맞도록 몸을 이리 저리 돌리지 못하리라
And see, I will put bands on you; and you will be stretched out without turning from one side to the other till the days of your attack are ended.
9 너는 말과, 보리와, 콩과, 팥과, 조와, 귀리를 가져다가 한 그릇에 담고 떡을 만들어 네 모로 눕는 날수 곧 삼백 구십일에 먹되
And take for yourself wheat and barley and different sorts of grain, and put them in one vessel and make bread for yourself from them; all the days when you are stretched on your side it will be your food.
10 너는 식물을 달아서 하루 이십 세겔 중씩 때를 따라 먹고
And you are to take your food by weight, twenty shekels a day: you are to take it at regular times.
11 물도 힌 육분 일씩 되어서 때를 따라 마시라
And you are to take water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: you are to take it at regular times.
12 너는 그것을 보리떡처럼 만들어 먹되 그들의 목전에서 인분 불을 피워 구울지니라
And let your food be barley cakes, cooking it before their eyes with the waste which comes out of a man.
13 여호와께서 또 가라사대 내가 열국으로 쫓아 흩을 이스라엘 자손이 거기서 이와 같이 부정한 떡을 먹으리라 하시기로
And the Lord said, Even so the children of Israel will have unclean bread for their food among the nations where I am driving them.
14 내가 가로되 오호라! 주 여호와여! 나는 영혼을 더럽힌 일이 없었나이다 어려서부터 지금까지 스스로 죽은 것이나 짐승에게 찢긴 것을 먹지 아니하였고 가증한 고기를 입에 넣지 아니하였나이다
Then I said, Ah, Lord! see, my soul has never been unclean, and I have never taken as my food anything which has come to a natural death or has been broken by beasts, from the time when I was young even till now; no disgusting flesh has ever come into my mouth.
15 여호와께서 내게 이르시되 쇠똥으로 인분을 대신하기를 허하노니 너는 그것으로 떡을 구울지니라
Then he said to me, See, I have given you cow's waste in place of man's waste, and you will make your bread ready on it.
16 또 내게 이르시되 인자야 내가 예루살렘에서 의뢰하는 양식을 끊으리니 백성이 경겁 중에 떡을 달아 먹고 민답 중에 물을 되어 마시다가
And he said to me, Son of man, see, I will take away from Jerusalem her necessary bread: they will take their bread by weight and with care, measuring out their drinking-water with fear and wonder:
17 떡과 물이 결핍하여 피차에 민답하여 하며 그 죄악 중에서 쇠패하리라
So that they may be in need of bread and water and be wondering at one another, wasting away in their sin.
