Hiezechielis Prophetæ 4

1 et tu fili hominis sume tibi laterem et pones eum coram te et describes in eo civitatem Hierusalem

And you, son of man, take you a brick, and you shall set it before your face, and shall portray on it the city, [even] Jerusalem.

2 et ordinabis adversus eam obsidionem et aedificabis munitiones et conportabis aggerem et dabis contra eam castra et pones arietes in gyro

And you shall besiege it, and build works against it, and throw up a mound round about it, and pitch camps against it, and set up engines round about.

3 et tu sume tibi sartaginem ferream et pones eam murum ferreum inter te et inter civitatem et obfirmabis faciem tuam ad eam et erit in obsidionem et circumdabis eam signum est domui Israhel

And take you to yourself an iron pan, and you shall set it [for] an iron wall between you and the city: and you shall set your face against it, and it shall be in a siege, and you shall besiege it. This is a sign to the children of Israel.

4 et tu dormies super latus tuum sinistrum et pones iniquitates domus Israhel super eo numero dierum quibus dormies super illud et adsumes iniquitatem eorum

And you shall lie upon your left side, and lay the iniquities of the house of Israel upon it, according to the number of the hundred and fifty days [during] which you shall lie upon it: and you shall bear their iniquities.

5 ego autem dedi tibi annos iniquitatis eorum numero dierum trecentos et nonaginta dies et portabis iniquitatem domus Israhel

For I have appointed you their iniquities for a number of days, for a hundred and ninety days: so you shall bear the iniquities of the house of Israel.

6 et cum conpleveris haec dormies super latus tuum dextrum secundo et adsumes iniquitatem domus Iuda quadraginta diebus diem pro anno diem inquam pro anno dedi tibi

And you shall accomplish this, and [then] shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquities of the house of Juda forty days: I have appointed you a day for a year.

7 et ad obsidionem Hierusalem convertes faciem tuam et brachium tuum erit exertum et prophetabis adversus eam

So you shall set your face to the siege of Jerusalem, and shall strengthen your arm, and shall prophesy against it.

8 ecce circumdedi te vinculis et non te convertes a latere tuo in latus aliud donec conpleas dies obsidionis tuae

And, behold, I have prepared bonds for you, land you may not turn from your one side to the other, until the days of your siege shall be accomplished.

9 et tu sume tibi frumentum et hordeum et fabam et lentem et milium et viciam et mittes ea in vas unum et facies tibi panes numero dierum quibus dormies super latus tuum trecentis et nonaginta diebus comedes illud

Take you also to you wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and bread-corn; and you shall cast them into one earthen vessel, and shall make them into loaves for yourself; and you shall eat them a hundred and ninety days, according to the number of the days [during] which you sleep on your side.

10 cibus autem tuus quo vesceris erit in pondere viginti stateres in die a tempore usque ad tempus comedes illud

And you shall eat your food by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shall you eat them.

11 et aquam in mensura bibes sextam partem hin a tempore usque ad tempus bibes illud

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

12 et quasi subcinericium hordiacium comedes illud et stercore quod egredietur de homine operies illud in oculis eorum

And you shall eat them [as] a barley cake: you shall bake them before their eyes in man's dung.

13 et dixit Dominus sic comedent filii Israhel panem suum pollutum inter gentes ad quas eiciam eos

And you shall say, Thus says the Lord God of Israel; Thus shall the children of Israel eat unclean things among the Gentiles.

14 et dixi ha ha ha Domine Deus ecce anima mea non est polluta et morticinum et laceratum a bestiis non comedi ab infantia mea usque nunc et non est ingressa os meum omnis caro inmunda

Then I said, Not so, Lord God of Israel: surely my soul has not been defiled with uncleanness; nor have I eaten, that which died of itself or was torn of beasts from my birth until now; neither has any corrupt flesh entered into my mouth.

15 et dixit ad me ecce dedi tibi fimum boum pro stercoribus humanis et facies panem tuum in eo

And he said to me, Behold, I have given you dung of oxen instead of man's dung, and you shall prepare your loaves upon it.

16 et dixit ad me fili hominis ecce ego conteram baculum panis in Hierusalem et comedent panem in pondere et in sollicitudine et aquam in mensura et in angustia bibent

And he said to me, Son of man, behold, I break the support of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight and in lack; and shall drink water by measure, and in a state of ruin:

17 ut deficientibus pane et aqua corruat unusquisque ad fratrem suum et contabescant in iniquitatibus suis

that they may lack bread and water; and a man and his brother shall be brought to ruin, and they shall pine away in their iniquities.
