Ezequiel 4

1 Tu pois, ó filho do homem, toma um tijolo, e pô-lo-ás diante de ti, e grava nele a cidade de Jerusalém.

“And as for you, son of man, take up for yourself a tablet, and you shall set it before you. And you shall draw upon it the city of Jerusalem.

2 E põe contra ela um cerco, e edifica contra ela uma fortificação, e levanta contra ela uma tranqueira, e põe contra ela arraiais, e põe-lhe vai e vens em redor.

And you shall set up a blockade against it, and you shall build fortifications, and you shall put together a rampart, and you shall encamp opposite it, and you shall place battering rams around it.

3 E tu toma uma sertã de ferro, e põe-na por muro de ferro entre ti e entre a cidade; e dirige para ela o teu rosto, e assim será cercada, e a cercarás; isto servirá de sinal à casa de Israel.

And you shall take up for yourself an iron frying pan, and place it as an iron wall between you and the city. And harden your face against it, and it shall be under a siege, and you shall surround it. This is a sign to the house of Israel.

4 Tu também deita-te sobre o teu lado esquerdo, e põe a maldade da casa de Israel sobre ele: conforme o número dos dias que te deitares sobre ele, levarás as suas maldades.

And you shall sleep on your left side. And you shall place the iniquities of the house of Israel on it by the number of days that you will sleep on it. And you shall take upon yourself their iniquity.

5 Porque eu já te tenho dado os anos da sua maldade, conforme o número dos dias, trezentos e noventa dias; e levarás a maldade da casa de Israel.

For I have given to you the years of their iniquity, by the number of the days: three hundred and ninety days. And you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

6 E, quando cumprires estes, tornar-te-ás a deitar sobre o teu lado direito, e levarás a maldade da casa de Judá quarenta dias: um dia te dei por cada ano.

And when you will have completed this, you shall sleep a second time, on your right side, and you shall assume the iniquity of the house of Judah for forty days: one day for each year; one day, I say, for each year, have I given to you.

7 Dirigirás pois o teu rosto para o cerco de Jerusalém, e o teu braço estará descoberto, e profetizarás contra ela.

And you shall turn your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and your arm shall be extended. And you shall prophesy against it.

8 E eis que porei sobre ti cordas: assim tu não te voltarás dum lado para o outro, até que cumpras os dias do teu cerco.

Behold, I have surrounded you with chains. And you shall not turn yourself from one side to the other side, until you have completed the days of your siege.

9 E tu toma trigo, e cevada, e favas, e lentilhas, e milho, e aveia, e mete-os num vaso, e faze deles pão: conforme o número dos dias que tu te deitares sobre o teu lado, trezentos e noventa dias, comerás disso.

And you shall take for yourself wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and vetch. And you shall set them in one vessel, and you shall make for yourself bread by the number of days that you will sleep upon your side: three hundred and ninety days shall you shall eat from it.

10 E a tua comida, que as de comer, será do peso de vinte siclos cada dia: de tempo em tempo a comerás.

But your food, which you will eat, shall be in weight twenty staters a day. You shall eat it from time to time.

11 Também beberás a água por medida, a saber, a sexta parte dum hin: de tempo em tempo beberás.

And you shall drink water by measure, one sixth part of a hin. You shall drink it from time to time.

12 E o comerás como bolos de cevada, e o cozerás com o esterco que sai do homem, diante dos olhos deles.

And you shall eat it like barley bread baked under ashes. And you shall cover it, in their sight, with the dung that goes out of a man.”

13 E disse o Senhor: Assim comerão os filhos de Israel o seu pão imundo, entre as nações às quais os lançarei.

And the Lord said: “So shall the sons of Israel eat their bread, polluted among the Gentiles, to whom I will cast them out.”

14 Então disse eu: Ah! Senhor, Senhor! eis que a minha alma não foi contaminada, porque nunca comi coisa morta, nem despedaçada, desde a minha mocidade até agora: nem carne abominável entrou na minha boca.

And I said: “Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! Behold, my soul has not been polluted, and from my infancy even until now, I have not eaten anything that has died of itself, nor that which has been torn up by beasts, and no unclean flesh at all has entered into my mouth.”

15 E disse-me: Vê, tenho-te dado bosta de vacas, em lugar de esterco de homem; e com ela prepararás o teu pão.

And he said to me: “Behold, I have given to you cow manure in place of human dung, and you shall make your bread with it.”

16 Então me disse: Filho do homem, eis que eu quebranto o sustento do pão em Jerusalém, e comerão o pão por peso, e com desgosto; e a água beberão por medida, e com espanto;

And he said to me: “Son of man, behold: I will crush the staff of bread in Jerusalem. And they will eat bread by weight and with anxiety. And they will drink water by measure and with anguish.

17 Para que o pão e a água lhes falte, e se espantem uns com os outros, e se consumam nas suas maldades.

So then, when bread and water fail, each one may fall against his brother. And they shall waste away in their iniquities.”
