حِزْقِيَال 4

١ 1 «وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ لِبْنَةً وَضَعْهَا أَمَامَكَ، وَٱرْسُمْ عَلَيْهَا مَدِينَةَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, [even] Jerusalem;

٢ 2 وَٱجْعَلْ عَلَيْهَا حِصَارًا، وَٱبْنِ عَلَيْهَا بُرْجًا، وَأَقِمْ عَلَيْهَا مِتْرَسَةً، وَٱجْعَلْ عَلَيْهَا جُيُوشًا، وَأَقِمْ عَلَيْهَا مَجَانِقَ حَوْلَهَا.

And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set [battering] rams against it on every side.

٣ 3 وَخُذْ أَنْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ صَاجًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَٱنْصِبْهُ سُورًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَثَبِّتْ وَجْهَكَ عَلَيْهَا، فَتَكُونَ فِي حِصَارٍ وَتُحَاصِرَهَا. تِلْكَ آيَةٌ لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Moreover take thou to thee an iron pan, and set it [for] a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This [shall be] a sign to the house of Israel.

٤ 4 «وَٱتَّكِئْ أَنْتَ عَلَى جَنْبِكَ ٱلْيَسَارِ، وَضَعْ عَلَيْهِ إِثْمَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. عَلَى عَدَدِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا تَتَّكِئُ عَلَيْهِ تَحْمِلُ إِثْمَهُمْ.

Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: [according] to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.

٥ 5 وَأَنَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُ لَكَ سِنِي إِثْمِهِمْ حَسَبَ عَدَدِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، ثَلَاثَ مِئَةِ يَوْمٍ وَتِسْعِينَ يَوْمًا، فَتَحْمِلُ إِثْمَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

٦ 6 فَإِذَا أَتْمَمْتَهَا، فَٱتَّكِئْ عَلَى جَنْبِكَ ٱلْيَمِينِ أَيْضًا، فَتَحْمِلَ إِثْمَ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا. فَقَدْ جَعَلْتُ لَكَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ عِوَضًا عَنْ سَنَةٍ.

And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.

٧ 7 فَثَبِّتْ وَجْهَكَ عَلَى حِصَارِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَذِرَاعُكَ مَكْشُوفَةٌ، وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهَا.

Therefore thou shalt set thy face towards the siege of Jerusalem, and thy arm [shall be] uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.

٨ 8 وَهَأَنَذَا أَجْعَلُ عَلَيْكَ رُبُطًا فَلَا تَقْلِبُ مِنْ جَنْبٍ إِلَى جَنْبٍ حَتَّى تُتَمِّمَ أَيَّامَ حِصَارِكَ.

And behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.

٩ 9 «وَخُذْ أَنْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ قَمْحًا وَشَعِيرًا وَفُولًا وَعَدَسًا وَدُخْنًا وَكَرْسَنَّةَ وَضَعْهَا فِي وِعَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَٱصْنَعْهَا لِنَفْسِكَ خُبْزًا كَعَدَدِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي تَتَّكِئُ فِيهَا عَلَى جَنْبِكَ. ثَلَاثَ مِئَةِ يَوْمٍ وَتِسْعِينَ يَوْمًا تَأْكُلُهُ.

Take thou also to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, [according] to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat of it.

١٠ 10 وَطَعَامُكَ ٱلَّذِي تَأْكُلُهُ يَكُونُ بِٱلْوَزْنِ. كُلَّ يَوْمٍ عِشْرِينَ شَاقِلًا. مِنْ وَقْتٍ إِلَى وَقْتٍ تَأْكُلُهُ.

And thy food which thou shalt eat [shall be] by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.

١١ 11 وَتَشْرَبُ ٱلْمَاءَ بِٱلْكَيْلِ، سُدْسَ ٱلْهِينِ، مِنْ وَقْتٍ إِلَى وَقْتٍ تَشْرَبُهُ.

Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.

١٢ 12 وَتَأْكُلُ كَعْكًا مِنَ ٱلشَّعِيرِ. عَلَى ٱلْخُرْءِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ تَخْبِزُهُ أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ».

And thou shalt eat it [as] barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with human excrement in their sight.

١٣ 13 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هَكَذَا يَأْكُلُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ خُبْزَهُمُ ٱلنَّجِسَ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَطْرُدُهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ».

And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.

١٤ 14 فَقُلْتُ: «آهِ، يَا سَيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، هَا نَفْسِي لَمْ تَتَنَجَّسْ. وَمِنْ صِبَايَ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ لَمْ آكُلْ مِيتَةً أَوْ فَرِيسَةً، وَلَا دَخَلَ فَمِي لَحْمٌ نَجِسٌ».

Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither hath abominable flesh come into my mouth.

١٥ 15 فَقَالَ لِي: «اُنْظُرْ. قَدْ جَعَلْتُ لَكَ خِثْيَ ٱلْبَقَرِ بَدَلَ خُرْءِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، فَتَصْنَعُ خُبْزَكَ عَلَيْهِ».

Then he said to me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread with them.

١٦ 16 وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، هَأَنَذَا أُكَسِّرُ قِوَامَ ٱلْخُبْزِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَيَأْكُلُونَ ٱلْخُبْزَ بِٱلْوَزْنِ وَبِٱلْغَمِّ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ ٱلْمَاءَ بِٱلْكَيْلِ وَبِٱلْحَيْرَةِ،

Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment.

١٧ 17 لِكَيْ يُعْوِزَهُمُ ٱلْخُبْزُ وَٱلْمَاءُ، وَيَتَحَيَّرُوا ٱلرَّجُلُ وَأَخُوهُ وَيَفْنَوْا بِإِثْمِهِمْ».

That they may want bread and water, and be astonished one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
