1 «وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ لِبْنَةً وَضَعْهَا أَمَامَكَ، وَٱرْسُمْ عَلَيْهَا مَدِينَةَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.
1 “You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before yourself, and portray on it a city, even Jerusalem.
2 وَٱجْعَلْ عَلَيْهَا حِصَارًا، وَٱبْنِ عَلَيْهَا بُرْجًا، وَأَقِمْ عَلَيْهَا مِتْرَسَةً، وَٱجْعَلْ عَلَيْهَا جُيُوشًا، وَأَقِمْ عَلَيْهَا مَجَانِقَ حَوْلَهَا.
2 Lay siege against it, build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it. Also set camps against it and plant battering rams against it all around.
3 وَخُذْ أَنْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ صَاجًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَٱنْصِبْهُ سُورًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَثَبِّتْ وَجْهَكَ عَلَيْهَا، فَتَكُونَ فِي حِصَارٍ وَتُحَاصِرَهَا. تِلْكَ آيَةٌ لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.
3 Take for yourself an iron pan and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city. Then set your face toward it. It will be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
4 «وَٱتَّكِئْ أَنْتَ عَلَى جَنْبِكَ ٱلْيَسَارِ، وَضَعْ عَلَيْهِ إِثْمَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. عَلَى عَدَدِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا تَتَّكِئُ عَلَيْهِ تَحْمِلُ إِثْمَهُمْ.
4 “Moreover lie on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it. According to the number of the days that you shall lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity.
5 وَأَنَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُ لَكَ سِنِي إِثْمِهِمْ حَسَبَ عَدَدِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، ثَلَاثَ مِئَةِ يَوْمٍ وَتِسْعِينَ يَوْمًا، فَتَحْمِلُ إِثْمَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.
5 For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be to you a number of days, even three hundred ninety days. So you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6 فَإِذَا أَتْمَمْتَهَا، فَٱتَّكِئْ عَلَى جَنْبِكَ ٱلْيَمِينِ أَيْضًا، فَتَحْمِلَ إِثْمَ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا. فَقَدْ جَعَلْتُ لَكَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ عِوَضًا عَنْ سَنَةٍ.
6 “Again, when you have accomplished these, you shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah. I have appointed forty days, each day for a year, to you.
7 فَثَبِّتْ وَجْهَكَ عَلَى حِصَارِ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَذِرَاعُكَ مَكْشُوفَةٌ، وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهَا.
7 You shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall prophesy against it.
8 وَهَأَنَذَا أَجْعَلُ عَلَيْكَ رُبُطًا فَلَا تَقْلِبُ مِنْ جَنْبٍ إِلَى جَنْبٍ حَتَّى تُتَمِّمَ أَيَّامَ حِصَارِكَ.
8 Behold, I put ropes on you, and you shall not turn yourself from one side to the other, until you have accomplished the days of your siege.
9 «وَخُذْ أَنْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ قَمْحًا وَشَعِيرًا وَفُولًا وَعَدَسًا وَدُخْنًا وَكَرْسَنَّةَ وَضَعْهَا فِي وِعَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَٱصْنَعْهَا لِنَفْسِكَ خُبْزًا كَعَدَدِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي تَتَّكِئُ فِيهَا عَلَى جَنْبِكَ. ثَلَاثَ مِئَةِ يَوْمٍ وَتِسْعِينَ يَوْمًا تَأْكُلُهُ.
9 “Take for yourself also wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel. Make bread of it. According to the number of the days that you will lie on your side, even three hundred ninety days, you shall eat of it.
10 وَطَعَامُكَ ٱلَّذِي تَأْكُلُهُ يَكُونُ بِٱلْوَزْنِ. كُلَّ يَوْمٍ عِشْرِينَ شَاقِلًا. مِنْ وَقْتٍ إِلَى وَقْتٍ تَأْكُلُهُ.
10 Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day. From time to time you shall eat it.
11 وَتَشْرَبُ ٱلْمَاءَ بِٱلْكَيْلِ، سُدْسَ ٱلْهِينِ، مِنْ وَقْتٍ إِلَى وَقْتٍ تَشْرَبُهُ.
11 You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin. From time to time you shall drink.
12 وَتَأْكُلُ كَعْكًا مِنَ ٱلشَّعِيرِ. عَلَى ٱلْخُرْءِ ٱلَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ تَخْبِزُهُ أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ».
12 You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.”
13 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هَكَذَا يَأْكُلُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ خُبْزَهُمُ ٱلنَّجِسَ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَطْرُدُهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ».
13 Yahweh said, “Even thus will the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them.”
14 فَقُلْتُ: «آهِ، يَا سَيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، هَا نَفْسِي لَمْ تَتَنَجَّسْ. وَمِنْ صِبَايَ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ لَمْ آكُلْ مِيتَةً أَوْ فَرِيسَةً، وَلَا دَخَلَ فَمِي لَحْمٌ نَجِسٌ».
14 Then I said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, my soul has not been polluted; for from my youth up even until now I have not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of animals. No abominable meat has come into my mouth!”
15 فَقَالَ لِي: «اُنْظُرْ. قَدْ جَعَلْتُ لَكَ خِثْيَ ٱلْبَقَرِ بَدَلَ خُرْءِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، فَتَصْنَعُ خُبْزَكَ عَلَيْهِ».
15 Then he said to me, “Behold, I have given you cow’s dung for man’s dung, and you shall prepare your bread on it.”
16 وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، هَأَنَذَا أُكَسِّرُ قِوَامَ ٱلْخُبْزِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَيَأْكُلُونَ ٱلْخُبْزَ بِٱلْوَزْنِ وَبِٱلْغَمِّ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ ٱلْمَاءَ بِٱلْكَيْلِ وَبِٱلْحَيْرَةِ،
16 Moreover he said to me, “Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem. They will eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness. They will drink water by measure, and in dismay;
17 لِكَيْ يُعْوِزَهُمُ ٱلْخُبْزُ وَٱلْمَاءُ، وَيَتَحَيَّرُوا ٱلرَّجُلُ وَأَخُوهُ وَيَفْنَوْا بِإِثْمِهِمْ».
17 that they may lack bread and water, be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
