以西结书 4

1 “人子啊，你要拿一块砖，摆在你面前，将一座耶路撒冷城画在其上，

"You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before yourself, and portray on it a city, even Jerusalem:

2 又围困这城，造台筑垒，安营攻击，在四围安设撞锤攻城，

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.

3 又要拿个铁鏊，放在你和城的中间，作为铁墙。你要对面攻击这城，使城被困；这样，好作以色列家的预兆。

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.

4 “你要向左侧卧，承当以色列家的罪孽；要按你向左侧卧的日数，担当他们的罪孽。

"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.

5 因为我已将他们作孽的年数定为你向左侧卧的日数，就是三百九十日，你要这样担当以色列家的罪孽。

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.

6 再者，你满了这些日子，还要向右侧卧，担当犹大家的罪孽。我给你定规侧卧四十日，一日顶一年。

"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.

7 你要露出膀臂，面向被困的耶路撒冷，说预言攻击这城。

You shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall prophesy against it.

8 我用绳索捆绑你，使你不能辗转，直等你满了困城的日子。

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.

9 “你要取小麦、大麦、豆子、红豆、小米、粗麦，装在一个器皿中，用以为自己做饼；要按你侧卧的三百九十日吃这饼。

"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.

10 你所吃的要按分两吃，每日二十舍客勒，按时而吃。

Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time you shall eat it.

11 你喝水也要按制子，每日喝一欣六分之一，按时而喝。

You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time you shall drink.

12 你吃这饼像吃大麦饼一样，要用人粪在众人眼前烧烤。”

You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man."

13 耶和华说：“以色列人在我所赶他们到的各国中，也必这样吃不洁净的食物。”

The LORD said, "Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them."

14 我说：“哎！主耶和华啊，我素来未曾被玷污，从幼年到如今没有吃过自死的，或被野兽撕裂的，那可憎的肉也未曾入我的口。”

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."

15 于是他对我说：“看哪，我给你牛粪代替人粪，你要将你的饼烤在其上。”

Then he said to me, "Look, I have given you cow's dung for man's dung, and you shall prepare your bread thereon."

16 他又对我说：“人子啊，我必在耶路撒冷折断他们的杖，就是断绝他们的粮。他们吃饼要按分两，忧虑而吃；喝水也要按制子，惊惶而喝；

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:

17 使他们缺粮缺水，彼此惊惶，因自己的罪孽消灭。”

that they may want bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
