Ezekiel 4
1 Du Mennneskesøn tag dig en teglsten, læg den for dig og indrids i den et Billede af en By, Jerusalem;
You also, son of man, take you a tile, and lay it before you, and portray on it the city, even Jerusalem:
2 og kast en Vold op omkring den, byg Belejringstårne, opkast Stormvold, lad Hære lejre sig imod den og rejs Stormbukke mod den fra alle Sider;
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 round about.
3 tag dig så en Jernpande og sæt den som en Jernvæg op mellem dig og Byen og ret dit Ansigt imod den. Således skal den være omringet, og du skal trænge den. Det skal være Israels Hus et Tegn.
Moreover take you to you an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face against it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
4 Og læg du dig på din venstre Side og tag, Israels Huss Misgerning på dig; alle de Dage du ligger således, skal du bære deres Misgerning.
Lie you also 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 Deres Misgernings År gør jeg til lige så mange Dage for dig, 190 Dage; så længe skal du bære Israels Huss Misgerning.
For I have laid on you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shall you bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6 Og når de er til Ende, læg dig så på din højre Side og bær Judas Huss Misgerning 40 Dage; for hvert År giver jeg dig en Dag.
And when you have accomplished them, lie again on your right side, and you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed you each day for a year.
7 Og du skal rette dit Ansigt og din blottede Arm mod det omringede Jerusalem og profetere imod det.
Therefore you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and your arm shall be uncovered, and you shall prophesy against it.
8 Og se, jeg lægger Bånd på dig, så du ikke kan vende dig fra den ene Side til den anden, før din Belejrings Dage er til Ende.
And, behold, I will lay bands on you, and you shall not turn you from one side to another, till you have ended the days of your siege.
9 Og tag du dig Hvede, Byg, Bønner, Linser, Hirse og Spelt, kom det i et og samme Kar og lav dig Brød deraf; alle de Dage du ligger på Siden, 190 Dage, skal det være din Mad;
Take you also to you wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make you bread thereof, according to the number of the days that you shall lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days shall you eat thereof.
10 og Maden, du får, skal være efter Vægt, tyve Sekel daglig; du skal spise den een Gang daglig.
And your meat which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shall you eat it.
11 Og Vand skal du drikke efter Mål, en Sjettedel Hin; du skal drikke een Gang daglig.
You shall drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shall you drink.
12 Og som Bygkager skal du spise det og bage det ved Menneskeskarn i deres Påsyn.
And you shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it with dung that comes out of man, in their sight.
13 Og du skal sige: "Så sige HERREN: Således skal Israeliterne have urent Brød til Føde blandt de Folk, jeg bortstøder dem til!"
And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them.
14 Men jeg sagde: "Ak, Herre, HERRE, jeg har endnu aldrig været uren; noget selvdødt eller sønderrevet har jeg fra Barnsben aldrig spist, og urent Kød kom aldrig i min Mund!"
Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul has not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.
15 Da svarede han: "Vel, jeg tillader dig at tage Oksegødning i Stedet for Menneskeskarn og bage dit Brød derved."
Then he said to me, See, I have given you cow’s dung for man’s dung, and you shall prepare your bread therewith.
16 Videre sagde han til mig: Menneskesøn! Se, jeg bryder Brødets Støttestav i Jerusalem; Brød skal de spise efter Vægt og i Angst, og Vand skal de drikke efter Mål og i Rædsel,
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:
17 for at de må mangle Brød og Vand og alle som een være slagne af Rædsel og hensmægte i deres Misgerning.
That they may want bread and water, and be astonished one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
