Ezekiel 4

1 Καὶ σὺ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, λάβε σεαυτῷ πλίνθον, καὶ θήσεις αὐτὴν πρὸ προσώπου σου, καὶ διαγράψεις ἐπʼ αὐτὴν πόλιν τὴν Ἱερουσαλήμ.

2 Καὶ δώσεις ἐπʼ αὐτὴν περιοχὴν, καὶ οἰκοδομήσεις ἐπʼ αὐτὴν προμαχῶνας, καὶ περιβαλεῖς ἐπʼ αὐτὴν χάρακα, καὶ δώσεις ἐπʼ αὐτὴν παρεμβολὰς, καὶ τάξεις τὰς βελοστάσεις κύκλῳ.

3 Καὶ σὺ λάβε σεαυτῷ τήγανον σιδηροῦν, καὶ θήσεις αὐτὸ τοῖχον σιδηροῦν ἀναμέσον σου καὶ ἀναμέσον τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἑτοιμάσεις τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπʼ αὐτὴν, καὶ ἔσται ἐν συνκλεισμῷ, καὶ συγκλείσεις αὐτήν· σημεῖόν ἐστι τοῦτο τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ.

4 Καὶ σὺ κοιμηθήσῃ ἐπὶ τὸ πλευρόν σου τὸ ἀριστερὸν, καὶ θήσεις τὰς ἀδικίας τοῦ οἴκου Ἰσραὴλ ἐπʼ αὐτοὺ, κατὰ ἀριθμὸν τῶν ἡμερῶν πεντήκοντα καὶ ἑκατὸν ἃς κοιμηθήσῃ ἐπʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ λήψῃ τὰς ἀδικίας αὐτῶν.

5 Καὶ ἐγὼ δέδωκά σοι τὰς ἀδικίας αὐτῶν εἰς ἀριθμὸν ἡμερῶν, ἐννενήκοντα καὶ ἑκατὸν ἡμέρας, καὶ λήψῃ τὰς ἀδικίας τοῦ οἴκου Ἰσραήλ.

6 Καὶ συντελέσεις ταῦτα, καὶ κοιμηθήσῃ ἐπὶ τὸ πλευρόν σου τὸ δεξιὸν, καὶ λήψῃ τὰς ἀδικίας τοῦ οἴκου Ἰούδα τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας, ἡμέραν εἰς ἐνιαυτὸν τέθεικά σοι.

7 Καὶ εἰς τὸν συγκλεισμὸν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἑτοιμάσεις τὸ πρόσωπόν σου, καὶ τὸν βραχίονά σου στερεώσεις, καὶ προφητεύσεις ἐπʼ αὐτήν.

8 Καὶ ἐγὼ ἰδοὺ δέδωκα ἐπὶ σὲ δεσμοὺς, καὶ μὴ στραφῇς ἀπὸ τοῦ πλευροῦ σου ἐπὶ τὸ πλευρόν σου, ἕως οὗ συντελεσθῶσιν ἡμέραι τοῦ συγκλεισμοῦ σου.

9 Καὶ σὺ λάβε σεαυτῷ πυροὺς, καὶ κριθὰς, καὶ κύαμον, καὶ φακὸν, καὶ κέγχρον, καὶ ὀλύραν, καὶ ἐμβαλεῖς αὐτὰ εἰς ἄγγος ἓν ὀστράνικον, καὶ ποιήσεις αὐτὰ σεαυτῷ εἰς ἄρτους· καὶ κατὰ ἀριθμὸν τῶν ἡμερῶν, ἃς σὺ καθεύδεις ἐπὶ τοῦ πλευροῦ σου, ἐννενήκοντα καὶ ἑκατὸν ἡμέρας φάγεσαι αὐτά.

10 Καὶ τὸ βρῶμά σου φάγεσαι ἐν σταθμῷ, εἴκοσι σίκλους τὴν ἡμέραν, ἀπὸ καιροῦ ἕως καιροῦ φάγεσαι αὐτά.

11 Καὶ ὕδωρ ἐν μέτρῳ πίεσαι, καὶ τὸ ἕκτον τοῦ εἲν ἀπὸ καιροῦ ἕως καιροῦ πίεσαι.

12 Καὶ ἐγκρυφίαν κρίθινον φάγεσαι αὐτὰ, ἐν βολβίτοις κόπρου ἀνθρωπίνης ἐγκρύψεις αὐτὰ κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν.

13 Καὶ ἐρεῖς, τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, οὕτως φάγονται οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἀκάθαρτα ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι.

14 Καὶ εἶπα, μηδαμῶς Κύριε Θεὲ Ἰσραήλ· εἰ ἡ ψυχή μου οὐ μεμίανται ἐν ἀκαθαρσίᾳ, καὶ θνησιμαῖον καὶ θηριάλωτον οὐ βέβρωκα ἀπὸ γενέσεώς μου ἕως τοῦ νῦν, οὐδὲ εἰσελήλυθεν εἰς τὸ στόμα μου πᾶν κρέας ἕωλον.

15 Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, ἰδοὺ δέδωκά σοι βόλβιτα βοῶν ἀντὶ τῶν βολβίτων τῶν ἀνθρωπίνων, καὶ ποιήσεις τοὺς ἄρτους σου ἐπʼ αὐτῶν.

16 Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ συντρίβω στήριγμα ἄρτου ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ φάγονται ἄρτον ἐν σταθμῷ καὶ ἐν ἐνδείᾳ, καὶ ὕδωρ ἐν μέτρῳ, καὶ ἐν ἀφανισμῷ πίονται·

17 Ὅπως ἐνδεεῖς γένωνται ἄρτου καὶ ὕδατος· καὶ ἀφανισθήσεται ἄνθρωπος καὶ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐντακήσονται ἐν ταῖς ἀδικίαις αὐτῶν.

1 And thou, son of man, take thee a brick, and thou shalt set it before thy face, and shalt portray on it the city, even Jerusalem.

2 And thou shalt besiege it, and build works against it, and throw up a mound round about it, and pitch camps against it, and set up engines round about.

3 And take thou to thyself an iron pan, and thou shalt set it for an iron wall between thee and the city: and thou shalt set thy face against it, and it shall be in a siege, and thou shalt besiege it. This is a sign to the children of Israel.

4 And thou shalt lie upon thy left side, and lay the iniquities of the house of Israel upon it, according to the number of the hundred and fifty days during which thou shalt lie upon it: and thou shalt bear their iniquities.

5 For I have appointed thee their iniquities for a number of days, for a hundred and ninety days: so thou shalt bear the iniquities of the house of Israel.

6 And thou shalt accomplish this, and then shalt lie on thy right side, and shalt bear the iniquities of the house of Juda forty days: I have appointed thee a day for a year.

7 So thou shalt set thy face to the siege of Jerusalem, and shalt strengthen thine arm, and shalt prophesy against it.

8 And, behold, I have prepared bonds for thee, and thou mayest not turn from thy one side to the other, until the days of thy siege shall be accomplished.

9 Take thou also to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and bread-corn; and thou shalt cast them into one earthen vessel, and shalt make them into loaves for thyself; and thou shalt eat them a hundred and ninety days, according to the number of the days during which thou sleepest on thy side.

10 And thou shalt eat thy food by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat them.

11 And thou shalt drink water by measure, even from time to time thou shalt drink the sixth part of a hin.

12 And thou shalt eat them as a barley cake: thou shalt bake them before their eyes in man's dung.

13 And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel; Thus shall the children of Israel eat unclean things among the Gentiles.

14 Then I said, Not so, Lord God of Israel: surely my soul has not been defiled with uncleanness; nor have I eaten that which died of itself or was torn of beasts from my birth until now; neither has any corrupt flesh entered into my mouth.

15 And he said to me, Behold, I have given thee dung of oxen instead of man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy loaves upon it.

16 And he said to me, Son of man, behold, I break the support of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight and in want; and shall drink water by measure, and in a state of ruin:

17 that they may want bread and water; and a man and his brother shall be brought to ruin, and they shall pine away in their iniquities.
