Иезекииль 4
Russian New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
4 «Сын человеческий[a], возьми кирпич и нарисуй на нём очертания Иерусалима. 2 И представь, что ты армия, окружающая этот город. Расположи лагерь вокруг него, построй осадный вал для захвата города, а также поставь тараны против него. 3 Затем возьми железную заслонку и поставь между тобой и городом, это будет железной стеной между городом и тобой. Так ты покажешь, что ты против него. Ты окружишь город и начнёшь атаку против него, и это будет примером для всей семьи Израиля. Это станет свидетельством того, что Я разрушу Иерусалим.
4 Затем ляг на левый бок в знак того, что ты принимаешь на себя все грехи Израиля. Ты будешь нести эту вину столько дней, сколько будешь лежать на левом боку. 5 Триста девяносто дней[b] ты должен нести вину Израиля. Тем самым Я даю тебе знать, сколь долгим будет наказание Израиля—один день равен одному году.
6 После этого ты повернёшься на правый бок и будешь лежать сорок дней. В это время ты будешь нести на себе вину Иудеи—один день равен одному году. Такое долгое наказание Я определил Иудее.
7 И теперь засучи рукава и подними руки над кирпичом, будто ты нападаешь на Иерусалим. Пророчествуй против Иерусалима. 8 Теперь взгляни, Я связываю тебя верёвками, и ты не сможешь повернуться на другой бок, пока не закончишь осаду города[c].
9 Ты должен взять зерно, чтобы испечь хлеб. Возьми пшеницу, ячмень, бобы, чечевицу, пшено и полбу, смешай их в чаше и перемели в муку, из которой испечёшь хлеб. Ты будешь есть только этот хлеб все триста девяносто дней, пока будешь лежать на боку. 10 Тебе можно будет брать только по чаше[d] муки для хлеба, который ты будешь есть время от времени в течение дня. 11 Тебе можно будет пить только 3 чаши[e] воды в день, выпивая их понемногу в течение дня. 12 Тебе придётся каждый день печь ячменный хлеб на сухих человеческих отходах. Ты должен есть этот хлеб на глазах у людей». 13 Затем Господь сказал: «Это покажет, что семья Израиля будет есть нечистый хлеб в чужих землях, куда Я заставлю отправиться её».
14 Тогда я, Иезекииль, сказал: «О, Господь Всемогущий, я никогда не ел нечистой пищи, никогда не ел мяса животных, умерших от болезни или растерзанных диким зверем, я никогда не ел нечистого мяса со времен моего детства и до сегодняшнего дня».
15 Тогда Господь сказал мне: «Хорошо, Я позволяю тебе использовать коровий навоз вместо человеческих отходов для выпечки хлеба».
16 И затем Он сказал: «Сын человеческий, Я уничтожу запасы продовольствия в Иерусалиме, и люди будут страдать от нехватки хлеба. Жители Иерусалима будут беспокоиться о том, что в городе недостаточно еды и воды. И с каждым глотком воды их будет охватывать ещё более сильный страх. 17 Всё это произойдёт потому, что там не будет достаточно еды и воды для людей. Они будут смотреть с ужасом друг на друга и будут уничтожены из-за своего греха».

Ezekiel 4
New King James Version
The Siege of Jerusalem Portrayed
4 “You also, son of man, take a clay tablet and lay it before you, and portray on it a city, Jerusalem. 2 (A)Lay siege against it, build a (B)siege wall against it, and heap up a mound against it; set camps against it also, and place battering rams against it all around. 3 Moreover take for yourself an iron plate, and set it as an iron wall between you and the city. Set your face against it, and it shall be (C)besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. (D)This will be a sign to the house of Israel.
4 “Lie also on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it. According to the number of the days that you lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity. 5 For I have laid on you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days; (E)so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. 6 And when you have completed them, lie again on your right side; then you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days. I have laid on you a day for each year.
7 “Therefore you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem; your arm shall be uncovered, and you shall prophesy against it. 8 (F)And surely I will [a]restrain you so that you cannot turn from one side to another till you have ended the days of your siege.
9 “Also take for yourself wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt; put them into one vessel, and make bread of them for yourself. During the number of days that you lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days, you shall eat it. 10 And your food which you eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day; from time to time you shall eat it. 11 You shall also drink water by measure, one-sixth of a hin; from time to time you shall drink. 12 And you shall eat it as barley cakes; and bake it using fuel of human waste in their sight.”
13 Then the Lord said, “So (G)shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them.”
14 So I said, (H)“Ah, Lord God! Indeed I have never defiled myself from my youth till now; I have never eaten (I)what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has (J)abominable[b] flesh ever come into my mouth.”
15 Then He said to me, “See, I am giving you cow dung instead of human waste, and you shall prepare your bread over it.”
16 Moreover He said to me, “Son of man, surely I will cut off the (K)supply of bread in Jerusalem; they shall (L)eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and shall (M)drink water by measure and with dread, 17 that they may lack bread and water, and be dismayed with one another, and (N)waste away because of their iniquity.

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.

The Siege of Jerusalem Symbolized
4 “And you, (A)son of man, (B)take a brick and lay it before you, and engrave on it a city, even Jerusalem. 2 (C)And put siegeworks against it, (D)and build a siege wall against it, (E)and cast up a mound against it. Set camps also against it, (F)and plant battering rams against it all around. 3 And you, take an iron griddle, and place it as an iron wall between you and the city; (G)and set your face toward it, (H)and let it be in a state of siege, and press the siege against it. This is (I)a sign for the house of Israel.
4 “Then lie on your left side, and place the punishment[a] of the house of Israel upon it. For the number of the days that you lie on it, (J)you shall bear their punishment. 5 For I assign to you a number of days, (K)390 days, (L)equal to the number of the years of their punishment. (M)So long shall you bear (N)the punishment of the house of Israel. 6 And when you have completed these, you shall lie down a second time, but on your right side, and (O)bear (P)the punishment of the house of Judah. (Q)Forty days I assign you, a day for each year. 7 (R)And you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, (S)with your arm bared, and you shall prophesy against the city. 8 And behold, (T)I will place cords upon you, so that you cannot turn from one side to the other, till you have completed (U)the days of your siege.
9 “And you, take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and emmer,[b] and put them into a single vessel and make your (V)bread from them. (W)During the number of days that you lie on your side, (X)390 days, you shall eat it. 10 And your food that you eat shall be (Y)by weight, (Z)twenty shekels[c] a day; from day to day[d] you shall eat it. 11 And water you shall drink (AA)by measure, the sixth part of a hin;[e] from day to day you shall drink. 12 And you shall eat it as a barley cake, baking it (AB)in their sight on human dung.” 13 And the Lord said, “Thus shall the people of Israel eat (AC)their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them.” 14 Then I said, (AD)“Ah, Lord God! Behold, I have never defiled myself.[f] (AE)From my youth up till now I have never eaten (AF)what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has (AG)tainted meat come into my mouth.” 15 Then he said to me, “See, I assign to you cow's dung instead of human dung, on which you may prepare your bread.” 16 Moreover, he said to me, (AH)“Son of man, behold, (AI)I will break the supply[g] of bread in Jerusalem. They shall eat bread (AJ)by weight and with anxiety, and they shall drink water (AK)by measure and in dismay. 17 I will do this that they may lack bread and water, and (AL)look at one another in dismay, and (AM)rot away because of their punishment.
