1 "人子啊！ 你要拿一块砖头， 放在你面前， 在上面刻一座城， 代表耶路撒冷。 2 然后安放围城设施， 建造围城高墙， 筑起攻城土垒， 摆列兵营， 四周架起攻城锤。 3 你又要拿一个铁的煎盘， 放在你和城的中间当作铁墙。你要面向着城， 象征城要被围困， 你就是围攻那城的。这要作以色列家的预兆。 4 "你要向左边侧卧， 承担以色列家的罪孽。你向左边侧卧多少日子， 你担当他们的罪孽也是多少日子。 5 我已经给你定了日子的数目， 就是三百九十天， 等于他们作孽的年数， 你要在这些日子担当以色列家的罪孽。 6 这些日子满了以后， 你要再向右边侧卧， 担当犹大家的罪孽， 我已经给你定了四十天， 一天等于一年。 7 你要面向着被围困的耶路撒冷， 赤露着膀臂， 说预言攻击这城。 8 我要用绳子把你捆绑起来， 使你不能转身， 直等到你围困城的日子满了。 9 "你要拿小麦、大麦、豆子、扁豆、粟米和粗麦， 放在一个器皿里， 给自己做饼。在你侧卧的三百九十天里， 你都要吃这些饼。 10 你所吃的食物要有一定分量， 每天二百三十克， 要在指定的时候吃。 11 你喝的水也要有一定分量， 每天半公升， 要在指定的时候喝。 12 你吃这些饼， 要像吃烙的大麦饼一样， 但要用人粪在众人面前烧烤。" 13 耶和华说： "以色列人在我赶他们去的列国中， 也要这样吃不洁净的食物。" 14 我说： "主耶和华啊！ 我从来没有玷污过自己。我从小到现在都没有吃过已经死去的， 或是野兽撕裂的动物， 不洁净的肉从没有进过我的口。" 15 于是他对我说： "你看， 我准你用牛粪代替人粪， 你可以在牛粪上烤你的饼。" 16 他又对我说： "人子啊， 我要断绝耶路撒冷的粮食。他们要满心忧虑， 吃配给的口粮； 十分惊惶， 喝配给的水。 17 他们缺粮缺水， 各人都必惊惶， 因自己的罪孽衰弱而死。"

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,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.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.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.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.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.7 `And unto the siege of Jerusalem thou dost prepare thy face, and thine arm [is] uncovered, and thou hast prophesied concerning it.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.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.10 And thy food that thou dost eat [is] by weight, twenty shekels daily; from time to time thou dost eat it.11 `And water by measure thou dost drink, a sixth part of the hin; from time to time thou dost drink [it].12 A barley-cake thou dost eat it, and it with dung -- the filth of man -- thou dost bake before their eyes.13 And Jehovah saith, `Thus do the sons of Israel eat their defiled bread among the nations whither I drive them.`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.`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.`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;17 so that they lack bread and water, and have been astonished one with another, and been consumed in their iniquity.
