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
Ang Pulong Sang Dios
Ginpakita ni Ezekiel Kon Paano Kibunon ang Jerusalem
4 Nagsiling pa gid ang Ginoo sa akon, “Karon, ikaw nga tawo, magkuha ka sang tisa[a] kag ibutang ini sa imo atubangan, kag idrowing dira ang Jerusalem. 2 Dayon himua ini nga daw sa ginakibon sang mga kaaway. Butangi ini sang mga pangsalakay: mga tore-tore, talaklasan sa pader, tinumpok nga duta agod mataklas ang pader, kag sang mga kahoy nga pangwasak sa pader. Kag palibuti ini sang mga kampo. 3 Dayon magkuha ka sang malapad nga salsalon kag ibutang ini sa tunga nimo kag sang siyudad bilang pader. Mag-atubang ka sa siyudad nga daw ginasalakay mo ini. Mangin tanda ini sa katawhan sang Israel nga salakayon sila sang ila mga kaaway.
4 “Pagkatapos maghigda ka nga nagatakilid sa wala bilang simbolo nga ginapas-an mo ang sala sang katawhan sang Israel. Pas-anon mo ang ila sala suno sa kadamuon sang mga adlaw sang imo paghigda. 5 Ang isa ka adlaw nagarepresentar sang isa ka tuig. Gani sa sulod sang 390 ka adlaw pas-anon mo ang ila sala. 6 Pagkatapos magliso ka sa tuo kag pas-ana naman ang sala sang katawhan sang Juda sa sulod sang 40 ka adlaw; ang isa ka adlaw nagarepresentar man gihapon sang isa ka tuig. 7 Tuluka liwat ang larawan sang Jerusalem nga ginakibon, kag maghambal ka kontra sa Jerusalem nga nagakalukos ka sang pako[b] sang imo bayo. 8 Gapuson ko ikaw sang lubid agod indi ka makaliso-liso hasta nga matapos ang pagpakita mo sang pagkibon sa siyudad.
9 “Karon, kuha ka sang trigo, barley, mga liso nga ulutanon, balatong, dawa kag espelta,[c] kag ibutang ini tanan sa isa ka suludlan kag amo ina ang himuon mo nga tinapay. Amo ina ang kaunon mo sa sulod sang 390 ka adlaw nga nagahigda ka nga nagatakilid sa wala. 10 Mga 1/4 kilo lang nga pagkaon ang imo kaunon kada adlaw sa natalana nga mga oras. 11 Kag mga tunga sa litro lang nga tubig ang imo imnon kada adlaw sa natalana man nga mga oras. 12 Magluto ka sang tinapay kada adlaw samtang nagatulok ang mga tawo. Lutua ina pareho sa pagluto sang tinapay nga barley. Gamita nga panggatong ang mamala nga tai sang tawo. Kag dayon kauna ang tinapay. 13 Kay pareho man sini ang matabo sa katawhan sang Israel, magakaon sila sang mga pagkaon nga ginakabig nga mahigko sa mga lugar nga sa diin ipabihag ko sila.”
14 Pero nagsiling ako, “O Ginoong Dios, wala ko gid paghigkui ang akon kaugalingon halin sang bata pa ako hasta subong. Wala gid ako makakaon sang sapat nga napatay lang ukon ginpatay sang iban nga sapat. Wala man ako makakaon sang sapat nga ginakabig nga mahigko.” 15 Nagsabat ang Ginoo, “Sige, ipot na lang sang baka ang gamiton mo nga panggatong sa baylo sang tai sang tawo.”
16 Nagsiling pa gid ang Ginoo, “Tawo, paiwaton ko ang pagkaon sa Jerusalem. Takson sang mga pumuluyo sang Jerusalem ang ila pagkaon kag tubig kag magakaon sila kag magainom nga nagapalibog kag nagapangasubo 17 tungod sa kaiwat sang pagkaon kag tubig. Magatinulukay sila nga nagakaurungan, kag amat-amat sila nga magakalamatay tungod sa ila sala.”
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.
