Ezekiel 4
1 'And thou, son of man, take to thee a brick, and thou hast put it before thee, and hast graven on it a city — Jerusalem,
「人子啊，你要拿一塊磚，擺在你面前，將一座耶路撒冷城畫在其上，
2 and hast placed against it a siege, and builded against it a fortification, and poured out against it a mount, and placed against it camps, yea, set thou against it battering-rams round about.
又圍困這城，造臺築壘，安營攻擊，在四圍安設撞錘攻城，
3 And thou, take to thee an iron pan, and thou hast made it a wall of iron between thee and the city; and thou hast prepared thy face against it, and it hath been in a siege, yea, thou hast laid siege against it. A sign it [is] to the house of Israel.
又要拿個鐵鏊，放在你和城的中間，作為鐵牆。你要對面攻擊這城，使城被困；這樣，好作以色列家的預兆。
4 'And thou, lie on thy left side, and thou hast placed the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; the number of the days that thou liest on it, thou bearest their iniquity.
「你要向左側臥，承當以色列家的罪孽；要按你向左側臥的日數，擔當他們的罪孽。
5 And I — I have laid on thee the years of their iniquity, the number of days, three hundred and ninety days; and thou hast borne the iniquity of the house of Israel.
因為我已將他們作孽的年數定為你向左側臥的日數，就是三百九十日，你要這樣擔當以色列家的罪孽。
6 And thou hast completed these, and hast lain on thy right side, a second time, and hast borne the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days — a day for a year — a day for a year I have appointed to thee.
再者，你滿了這些日子，還要向右側臥，擔當猶大家的罪孽。我給你定規側臥四十日，一日頂一年。
7 'And unto the siege of Jerusalem thou dost prepare thy face, and thine arm [is] uncovered, and thou hast prophesied concerning it.
你要露出膀臂，面向被困的耶路撒冷，說預言攻擊這城。
8 And lo, I have put on thee thick bands, and thou dost not turn from side to side till thy completing the days of thy siege.
我用繩索捆綁你，使你不能輾轉，直等你滿了困城的日子。
9 'And thou, take to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and spelt, and thou hast put them in one vessel, and made them to thee for bread; the number of the days that thou art lying on thy side — three hundred and ninety days — thou dost eat it.
「你要取小麥、大麥、豆子、紅豆、小米、粗麥，裝在一個器皿中，用以為自己做餅；要按你側臥的三百九十日吃這餅。
10 And thy food that thou dost eat [is] by weight, twenty shekels daily; from time to time thou dost eat it.
你所吃的要按分兩吃，每日二十舍客勒，按時而吃。
11 'And water by measure thou dost drink, a sixth part of the hin; from time to time thou dost drink [it].
你喝水也要按制子，每日喝一欣六分之一，按時而喝。
12 A barley-cake thou dost eat it, and it with dung — the filth of man — thou dost bake before their eyes.
你吃這餅像吃大麥餅一樣，要用人糞在眾人眼前燒烤。」
13 And Jehovah saith, 'Thus do the sons of Israel eat their defiled bread among the nations whither I drive them.'
耶和華說：「以色列人在我所趕他們到的各國中，也必這樣吃不潔淨的食物。」
14 And I say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, lo, my soul is not defiled, and carcase, and torn thing, I have not eaten from my youth, even till now; nor come into my mouth hath abominable flesh.'
我說：「哎！主耶和華啊，我素來未曾被玷污，從幼年到如今沒有吃過自死的，或被野獸撕裂的，那可憎的肉也未曾入我的口。」
15 And He saith unto me, 'See, I have given to thee bullock's dung instead of man's dung, and thou hast made thy bread by it.'
於是他對我說：「看哪，我給你牛糞代替人糞，你要將你的餅烤在其上。」
16 And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, lo, I am breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they have eaten bread by weight and with fear; and water by measure and with astonishment, they do drink;
他又對我說：「人子啊，我必在耶路撒冷折斷他們的杖，就是斷絕他們的糧。他們吃餅要按分兩，憂慮而吃；喝水也要按制子，驚惶而喝；
17 so that they lack bread and water, and have been astonished one with another, and been consumed in their iniquity.
使他們缺糧缺水，彼此驚惶，因自己的罪孽消滅。」
