Ezequiel 4
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
Anúncio do cerco de Jerusalém
4 Deus me disse:
—Homem mortal, pegue um tijolo e coloque-o diante de você. Faça nele um desenho da cidade de Jerusalém. 2 Construa uma muralha ao redor da cidade e uma rampa que chegue até ela. Ponha um acampamento como sendo do inimigo. Cerque aquela cidade com máquinas para que seja derrubada. 3 Tome uma lâmina de ferro e coloque-a como se fosse uma muralha entre você e a cidade. Fixe seu olhar nela para assim mostrar que você está contra a cidade. Isto servirá de sinal aos israelitas.
4 —Fique deitado sobre seu lado esquerdo e leve sobre você a culpa do povo de Israel. Todo o tempo em que você estiver atacando a cidade, você levará a culpa dela. 5 Você deverá sofrer pela culpa de Israel durante trezentos e noventa dias[a]. Isso mostrará quanto tempo Israel será punido: um dia para cada ano. Este é o tempo durante o qual você levará a culpa de Israel. 6 Após esse tempo, você vai ficar deitado no seu lado direito e sofrer pela culpa de Judá durante quarenta dias. Isso mostrará quanto tempo Judá será punida: um dia para cada ano. 7 Você terá que ficar concentrado no cerco de Jerusalém, terá que levantar seu braço em sinal de castigo e profetizar contra ela. 8 Amarrarei você com cordas para que não se vire de um lado para outro até terminar o cerco[b].
9 —Você vai fazer o seguinte para ter comida. Você deverá ter algum grão para fazer pão. Pegue trigo, cevada, feijão, lentilhas, trigo miúdo e aveia. Misture todos esses alimentos num recipiente, amasse todos eles e faça pão suficiente para os trezentos e noventa dias nos quais você ficará deitado. Cada dia que você permanecer deitado, poderá comer um pão. 10 Você só poderá usar para fazer pão apenas duzentos e trinta gramas de farinha para cada dia. Você vai comer o pão aos poucos durante todo o dia. 11 Também tomará meio litro de água aos poucos durante todo o dia. 12 Cada dia assará um pão de cevada diante do povo, usando fezes humanas como combustível.
13 Depois, o SENHOR também disse:
—O povo de Israel deverá comer deste jeito o pão impuro[c] quando eles estiverem vivendo no meio dos estrangeiros.
14 Então exclamei:
—Ó Senhor DEUS, não pode ser! Eu nunca comi nada impuro. Jamais provei nada nojento nem nada que algum animal tenha matado. Desde que era um menino até agora, nunca comi nada impuro.
15 Então Deus me disse:
—Pode usar cocô de vaca em vez de fezes humanas como combustível para assar o seu pão.
16 Depois me disse:
—Vou cortar os alimentos em Jerusalém e comerão com ansiedade, e mesmo assim beberão da água que também vou cortar. 17 Que fiquem espantados pela escassez de pão e água! Que apodreçam por causa dos seus pecados!

Siege of Jerusalem Symbolized
4 “Now, son of man, take a block of clay, put it in front of you and draw the city of Jerusalem on it. 2 Then lay siege to it: Erect siege works against it, build a ramp(A) up to it, set up camps against it and put battering rams around it.(B) 3 Then take an iron pan,(C) place it as an iron wall between you and the city and turn your face toward(D) it. It will be under siege, and you shall besiege it. This will be a sign(E) to the people of Israel.(F)
4 “Then lie on your left side and put the sin of the people of Israel upon yourself.[a] You are to bear their sin for the number of days you lie on your side. 5 I have assigned you the same number of days as the years of their sin. So for 390 days you will bear the sin of the people of Israel.
6 “After you have finished this, lie down again, this time on your right side, and bear the sin(G) of the people of Judah. I have assigned you 40 days, a day for each year.(H) 7 Turn your face(I) toward the siege of Jerusalem and with bared arm prophesy against her. 8 I will tie you up with ropes so that you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have finished the days of your siege.(J)
9 “Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt;(K) put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself. You are to eat it during the 390 days you lie on your side. 10 Weigh out twenty shekels[b](L) of food to eat each day and eat it at set times. 11 Also measure out a sixth of a hin[c] of water and drink it at set times.(M) 12 Eat the food as you would a loaf of barley bread; bake it in the sight of the people, using human excrement(N) for fuel.” 13 The Lord said, “In this way the people of Israel will eat defiled food among the nations where I will drive them.”(O)
14 Then I said, “Not so, Sovereign Lord!(P) I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now I have never eaten anything found dead(Q) or torn by wild animals. No impure meat has ever entered my mouth.(R)”
15 “Very well,” he said, “I will let you bake your bread over cow dung instead of human excrement.”
16 He then said to me: “Son of man, I am about to cut off(S) the food supply in Jerusalem. The people will eat rationed food in anxiety and drink rationed water in despair,(T) 17 for food and water will be scarce.(U) They will be appalled at the sight of each other and will waste away because of[d] their sin.(V)

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.

Yechezkel 4
Orthodox Jewish Bible
4 Thou also, Ben Adam, take thee a levenah (tile, brick), and lay it before thee, and engrave upon it the Ir, even Yerushalayim;
2 And lay matzor (siege) against it, and erect against it siege works, and build a ramp against it; set the machanot also against it, and set battering rams against it all around.
3 Moreover take thou unto thee a machavat barzel (iron griddle), and set it for a kir barzel (wall of iron) between thee and the Ir; and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be an ot (sign) to Bais Yisroel.
4 Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the avon Bais Yisroel upon it; according to the mispar of the yamim that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their avon.
5 For I have laid upon thee the shanim of their avon (iniquity), according to the mispar (number) of the yamim, three hundred and ninety days; so shalt thou bear the avon Bais Yisroel.
6 And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the avon Bais Yehudah forty days; I have appointed thee a day for each year.
7 Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the Matzor Yerushalayim (Siege of Jerusalem), and thine zero’a shall be bared, and thou shalt prophesy against it.
8 And, hinei, I will tie ropes upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy matzor (siege).
9 Take thou also unto thee chittin (wheat), and se’orim (barley), and fol (beans), and adosim (lentils), and dochan (millet), and kussemim (spelt), and put them in keli echad, and make thee lechem thereof, according to the mispar of the yamim that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
10 And thy okhel (food) 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 mayim by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.
12 And thou shalt eat it as cakes of se’orim, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of ha’adam, in their sight.
13 And Hashem said, Even thus shall the Bnei Yisroel eat their lechem tameh among the Goyim, whither I will drive them.
14 Then said I, Not so Adonoi Hashem! Hinei, my nefesh hath not been made tuma’ah for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten nevelah or trefah; neither came there basar piggul into my mouth.
15 Then He said unto me, Behold, I have given thee cattle dung instead of dung of adam, and thou shalt prepare thy lechem therewith.
16 Moreover He said unto me, Ben Adam, hinei, I will break the mateh lechem (staff of bread, food supply) in Yerushalayim: and they shall eat lechem weighted out in rations, and with worry; and they shall drink mayim by measure, and with amazed alarm:
17 In order that lechem and mayim be scarce, and that every ish and achiv be confounded with shock and rot away because of their avon.
