Йезекиил 4
Bulgarian Bible
4 И ти, сине, човешки, вземи си тухла, тури я пред себе си, и начертай на нея града Ерусалим.
2 И постави обсада против него, съгради укрепления против него, и издигни могили против него; разположи още стан против него, и постави стеноломи против него от всяка страна.
3 Вземи си и желязна плоча, тури я като желязна стена между тебе и града, и насочи лицето си против него, и той ще бъде обсаден; и ти постави обсада против него. Това ще бъде знамение за Израилевия дом.
4 Тогава легни на лявата си страна, и положи на нея беззаконието на Израилевия дом; колкото дни лежиш на нея ще носиш беззаконието им.
5 Защото Аз определих годините на беззаконието им да ти бъдат съответствено число дни - триста и деветдесет дни; така ще носиш беззаконието на Израилевия дом.
6 И като навършиш тия, тогава легни на дясната си страна, и носи беззаконието на Юдовия дом четиридесет дни; по един ден ти определих за всяка година.
7 И насочи лицето си към обсадата на Ерусалим, с гола мишца, и пророкувай против него.
8 ето, ще туря на тебе връзки, и няма да се обърнеш от едната си страна на другата, догдето не навършиш дните, през които ще го обсаждаш.
9 Вземи си и пшеница и ечемик, боб и леща, просо и бяло жито, и като ги туриш в един съд, направи си от тях хлябове; и колкото дни лежиш на страната си, триста и деветдесет дни, яж от тях.
10 И храната, която ядеш, да бъде с теглилка, двадесет сикли на ден; от време на време да ядеш от тях.
11 Също и вода с мярка да пиеш, по една шеста от ин на ден; от време на време да пиеш.
12 Да ги ядеш като ечемичени пити, и да ги печеш с човешки нечистотии пред очите им.
13 И Господ рече: Така ще ядат израилтяните хляба си омърсен между народите, дето ще ги изпъдя.
14 Тогава аз рекох: Ах! Господи Иеова, ето, душата ми не се е омърсила; понеже от младостта си до сега не съм ял мърша или разкъсано от звяр, нито е влязло някога в устата ми мръсно месо.
15 Тогава ми рече: Виж, давам ти говежди нечистотии вместо човешки нечистотии; с него опечи хляба си.
16 Рече ми още: Сине човешки, ето, Аз ще строша подпорката от хляба в Ерусалим; те ще ядат хляб с теглилка и икономично, и смаяни ще пият вода с мярка.
17 Това ще направя, за да се лишат от хляб и вода, и да се гледат един други смаяни, и да се изнурят в беззаконието си.
Ezekiel 4
King James Version
4 Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, even Jerusalem:
2 And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.
3 Moreover take thou unto 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.
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.
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.
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.
7 Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.
8 And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.
9 Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
10 And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.
11 Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.
12 And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.
13 And the Lord said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.
14 Then said I, Ah Lord God! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.
15 Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.
16 Moreover he said unto 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 with astonishment:
17 That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
Ezekiel 4

A message about Jerusalem
4 ‘Son of man, take a large brick and put it in front of you.[a] On the brick, draw a picture of the city, Jerusalem. 2 Show that soldiers are ready to attack the city. Build heaps of earth around it so that nobody can escape. Put heavy pieces of wood around the city that the enemy could use to break its walls. 3 Then you must do this. Take a flat plate of iron and put it between you and the brick. It will be like a wall between you and the city. Look towards the city. Show that soldiers are around the city and they are ready to attack it. Nobody can escape. This will be a picture to show Israel's people what will happen to them.[b]
4-5 Then lie down on your left side. Show that you are receiving the punishment for the sins of the Israelites. You will suffer like that for 390 days. It will show the number of years that I have decided to punish Israel's people. Each day that you suffer will show one year of their punishment.
6 After you have finished all those days, lie down again. This time, lie down on your right side for 40 days. You will suffer like that to show the punishment for the sins of Judah's people. Each day will show one year of their punishment. 7 Continue to look towards the brick which has the picture of Jerusalem on it. Show that you are ready to attack it, like soldiers all around it. Speak my message to warn the city. 8 Listen! I will use ropes to tie around you. You will not be able to turn from one side to another. You will lie on one side until you have finished all the days to attack the city.[c]
9 You must take some grains like wheat and barley, and different kinds of beans. Then put them all into a jar. Use them to make bread for yourself. You must eat this for 390 days while you lie on your left side. 10 You should eat 220 grams of food each day. Eat it at the same time each day. 11 You must measure the water that you drink each day. You may drink two cups at the same times each day. 12 Prepare your food like a cake that is made from barley. Bake it on a fire that you have made with human dung. Do this where the people can see you.’[d]
13 The Lord also said, ‘I will send Israel's people away to live in foreign lands. Then they will have to eat unclean food, as you will do now.’[e]
14 Then I said, ‘No, Almighty Lord, I could not use human dung. It would make me unclean. Since I was a child I have never eaten any food that would make me unclean. I have never eaten meat from a dead animal that people have found. I have not eaten meat from an animal that wild animals have killed.’
15 So God said to me, ‘I will allow you to use dung from cows instead of from humans. You may use that to make the fire to cook your bread.’
16 Then God said to me, ‘Son of man, I will soon take away the bread in Jerusalem. The people will have to measure the food that they eat. And they will have to measure the water that they drink. They will worry and be afraid. 17 They will not have enough food or water. Everyone will be very upset. Their bodies will become very thin when I punish them for their sins.’[f]
