Ezekiel 4

1 Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it the city, even Jerusalem:

١ أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَاابْنَ آدَمَ فَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ لِبْنَةً وَابْسُطْهَا أَمَامَكَ وَارْسُمْ عَلَيْهَا مَدِينَةَ أُورُشَلِيمَ،

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

٢ وَأَقِمْ عَلَيْهَا حِصَاراً، وَابْنِ بُرْجاً، وَانْصِبْ عَلَيْهَا مِتْرَاساً، وَطَوِّقْهَا بِالْجُيُوشِ، وَأَحِطْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ بِالْمَجَانِقِ،

3 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.

٣ ثُمَّ خُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ صَاجاً مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَاجْعَلْهُ سُوراً مِنْ حَدِيدٍ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَثَبِّتْ وَجْهَكَ عَلَيْهَا فَتُصْبِحَ مُحَاصَرَةً وَأَنْتَ تُحَاصِرُهَا، فَتَكُونَ هَذِهِ عَلاَمَةً لِشَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

4 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.

٤ أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَاتَّكِئْ عَلَى جَانِبِكَ الأَيْسَرِ، وَضَعْ عَلَيْهِ إِثْمَ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِذْ أَنَّكَ تَحْمِلُ إِثْمَهُمْ عَلَى حَسَبِ عَدَدِ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي تَتَّكِئُ فِيهَا عَلَيْهِ.

5 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.

٥ فَإِنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُ لَكَ عَدَدَ أَيَّامٍ كَعَدَدِ سَنَوَاتِ إِثْمِهِمْ: ثَلاَثَ مِئَةٍ وَتِسْعِينَ يَوْماً. فَتَحْمِلُ عِبْءَ إِثْمِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

6 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.

٦ وَحَالَمَا تُكْمِلُهَا عُدْ فَاتَّكِئْ عَلَى جَانِبِكَ الأَيْمَنِ، وَاحْمِلْ إِثْمَ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً. إِذْ جَعَلْتُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مُقَابِلَ سَنَةٍ.

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

٧ ثُمَّ ثَبِّتْ وَجْهَكَ نَحْوَ حِصَارِ أُورُشَلِيمَ بِذِرَاعٍ مَكْشُوفَةٍ، وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهَا،

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

٨ وَهَا أَنَا أُوْثِقُكَ بِحِبَالٍ لِئَلاَّ تَتَقَلَّبَ مِنْ جَنْبٍ إِلَى جَنْبٍ حَتَّى تَكْتَمِلَ أَيَّامُ حِصَارِكَ.

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

٩ أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ قَمْحاً وَشَعِيراً وَفُولاً وَعَدَساً وَذُرَةً وَكَرْسَنَّةً، وَاعْجِنْهَا فِي وَعَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَاصْنَعْ لِنَفْسِكَ خُبْزاً تَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ ثَلاَثَ مِئَةٍ وَتِسْعِينَ يَوْماً كَعَدَدِ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي تَتَّكِئُ فِيهَا عَلَى جَنْبِكَ.

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

١٠ وَيَكُونُ وَزْنُ كَمِّيَّةِ الطَّعَامِ الَّتِي تَأْكُلُهَا فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ تُعَادِلُ عِشْرِينَ شَاقِلاً (نَحْوَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جْرَاماً). تَأْكُلُ وَجْبَةً وَاحِدَةً فِي الْيَوْمِ.

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

١١ وَتَشْرَبُ الْمَاءَ بِالْكَيْلِ، فَلاَ يَزِيدُ عَنْ سُدْسِ الهِينِ (نَحْوَ ثُلْثَيْ لِتْرٍ)، تَشْرَبُ مِنْهُ بَيْنَ حِينٍ وَآخَرَ.

12 And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.

١٢ وَتَأْكُلُهُ كَكَعْكِ الشَّعِيرِ، بَعْدَ أَنْ تَخْبِزَهُ عَلَى مَشْهَدٍ مِنْهُمْ فَوْقَ بِرَازِ الإِنْسَانِ.

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

١٣ لأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا سَيَأْكُلُ أَبْنَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ خُبْزَهُمُ النَّجِسَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ أُجْلِيهِمْ إِلَيْهِمْ».

14 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.

١٤ وَلَكِنِّي قُلْتُ: «آهِ، أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، أَنَا لَمْ أُنَجِّسْ نَفْسِي أَبَداً فَمُنْذُ حَدَاثَتِي حَتَّى الآنَ لَمْ آكُلْ مَيْتَةً أَوْ فَرِيسَةً، وَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ فَمِي لَحْمٌ نَجِسٌ».

15 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.

١٥ فَقَالَ: «انْظُرْ هَا أَنَا أُعْطِيكَ بَعْرَ الْبَقَرِ لِتَسْتَعِيضَ بِهِ عَنْ بِرَازِ الإِنْسَانِ لِتَصْنَعَ عَلَيْهِ خُبْزَكَ.

16 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 in horror:

١٦ يَاابْنَ آدَمَ، هَا أَنَا أَبِيدُ مَؤُونَةَ الْخُبْزِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَيَأْكُلُونَ الْخُبْزَ بِالْوَزْنِ مَعْجُوناً بِالْغَمِّ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ الْمَاءَ بِالْكَيْلِ مَمْزُوجاً بِالْحَيْرَةِ.

17 That they may lack bread and water, and be appalled one with another, and pine away for their iniquity.

١٧ إِذْ يُعْوِزُهُمُ الْخُبْزُ وَالْمَاءُ، وَيَلْجَأُ الْوَاحِدُ إِلَى أَخِيهِ وَقَدِ اعْتَرَتْهُمُ الْحَيْرَةُ فَيَفْنَوْنَ جَمِيعاً بِإِثْمِهِمْ.
