Ezekiel 4
1 And you, son of man, take a back and put it before you and on it make a picture of a town, even Jerusalem.
A ti, sine čovječji, uzmi opeku, postavi je preda se i nacrtaj na njoj grad Jeruzalem.
2 And make an attack on it, shutting it in, building strong places against it, and making high an earthwork against it; and put up tents against it, placing engines all round it for smashing down its walls.
Oko njega postavi opsadu, sagradi prema njemu utvrdu, podigni nasip, iskopaj oko njega opkop, razvrstaj vojsku i porazmjesti zidodere uokolo.
3 And take a flat iron plate, and put it for a wall of iron between you and the town: and let your face be turned to it, and it will be shut in and you will make an attack on it. This will be a sign to the children of Israel.
Zatim uzmi gvozdenu ploču i postavi je kao gvozden bedem između sebe i grada te k njemu okreni lice, i bit će opsjednut. Pritisni ga! To je znak domu Izraelovu!
4 Then, stretching yourself out on your left side, take the sin of the children of Israel on yourself: for as long as you are stretched out, so long will the sin of the children of Israel be on you.
Zatim lezi na svoju lijevu stranu i stavi na se grijeh doma Izraelova: koliko dana budeš tako ležao, toliko ćeš dana nositi njihov grijeh.
5 For I have had the years of their sin measured for you by a number of days, even three hundred and ninety days: and you will take on yourself the sin of the children of Israel.
Dajem ti po dan za godine grijeha njihovih: sto i devedeset dana nosit ćeš grijeh doma Izraelova.
6 And when these days are ended, turning on your right side, you are to take on yourself the sin of the children of Judah: forty days, a day for a year, I have had it fixed for you.
A kad to završiš, četrdeset ćeš dana ležati na desnoj strani da nosiš grijeh doma Judina; dajem ti po dan za svaku godinu.
7 And let your face be turned to where Jerusalem is shut in, with your arm uncovered, and be a prophet against it.
Tad okreni lice prema opsjedanom Jeruzalemu, pruži golu desnicu i prorokuj protiv njega.
8 And see, I will put bands on you; and you will be stretched out without turning from one side to the other till the days of your attack are ended.
A ja ću te užetima vezati da se ne možeš okretati s jedne strane na drugu dok ne navršiš dane svoje opsade.
9 And take for yourself wheat and barley and different sorts of grain, and put them in one vessel and make bread for yourself from them; all the days when you are stretched on your side it will be your food.
Uzmi pšenice, ječma, boba, leće, prosa i raži, stavi to u jednu posudu i pripravi od toga sebi kruh. Jest ćeš ga onoliko dana koliko budeš ležao na svojoj strani: sto i devedeset dana.
10 And you are to take your food by weight, twenty shekels a day: you are to take it at regular times.
Jelo što ćeš ga jesti bit će izmjereno; dvadeset šekela na dan; a jest ćeš ga u određeno vrijeme.
11 And you are to take water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: you are to take it at regular times.
I vodu ćeš piti na mjeru: šestinu hina. Pit ćeš je u određeno vrijeme.
12 And let your food be barley cakes, cooking it before their eyes with the waste which comes out of a man.
A jest ćeš pogaču od ječma što ćeš je pred njima ispeći na ljudskim izmetinama.”
13 And the Lord said, Even so the children of Israel will have unclean bread for their food among the nations where I am driving them.
I reče: “Tako će sinovi Izraelovi jesti svoj nečisti kruh među narodima među koje ću ih izagnati.”
14 Then I said, Ah, Lord! see, my soul has never been unclean, and I have never taken as my food anything which has come to a natural death or has been broken by beasts, from the time when I was young even till now; no disgusting flesh has ever come into my mouth.
Ja mu odgovorih: “Jao, Jahve Gospode, gle, moja duša nije okaljana, jer se od djetinjstva još ne okusih ničega uginulog ni rastrganog niti u moja usta ikad uđe meso nečisto.”
15 Then he said to me, See, I have given you cow's waste in place of man's waste, and you will make your bread ready on it.
A on će: “Gle, dajem ti kravlju balegu umjesto ljudskih izmetina da na njoj ispečeš kruh!”
16 And he said to me, Son of man, see, I will take away from Jerusalem her necessary bread: they will take their bread by weight and with care, measuring out their drinking-water with fear and wonder:
Još mi reče: “Sine čovječji, uništit ću u Jeruzalemu posljednju pričuvu kruha, i jest će kruh na mjeru i s tjeskobom, i pit će vodu na mjeru i sa zebnjom.
17 So that they may be in need of bread and water and be wondering at one another, wasting away in their sin.
Neka im nestane kruha i vode, neka usahnu zbog bezakonja svojega i jedan za drugim neka poginu!
