1耶路撒冷被困的象徵“人子啊！你要拿一塊磚頭，放在你面前，在上面刻一座城，代表耶路撒冷。
1You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before yourself, and portray on it a city, even Jerusalem:
2然後安放圍城設施，建造圍城高牆，築起攻城土壘，擺列兵營，四周架起攻城鎚。
2and lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it; set camps also against it, and plant battering rams against it all around.
3你又要拿一個鐵的煎盤，放在你和城的中間當作鐵牆。你要面向著城，象徵城要被圍困，你就是圍攻那城的。這要作以色列家的預兆。
3Take for yourself an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face toward it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
4被擄期限的象徵“你要向左邊側臥，承擔以色列家的罪孽。你向左邊側臥多少日子，你擔當他們的罪孽也是多少日子。
4Moreover lie on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; according to the number of the days that you shall lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity.
5我已經給你定了日子的數目，就是三百九十天，等於他們作孽的年數，你要在這些日子擔當以色列家的罪孽。
5For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be to you a number of days, even three hundred ninety days: so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6這些日子滿了以後，你要再向右邊側臥，擔當猶大家的罪孽，我已經給你定了四十天，一天等於一年。
6Again, when you have accomplished these, you shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah: forty days, each day for a year, have I appointed it to you.
7你要面向著被圍困的耶路撒冷，赤露著膀臂，說預言攻擊這城。
7You shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall prophesy against it.
8我要用繩子把你捆綁起來，使你不能轉身，直等到你圍困城的日子滿了。
8Behold, I lay bands on you, and you shall not turn you from one side to the other, until you have accomplished the days of your siege.
9城困糧絕的象徵“你要拿小麥、大麥、豆子、扁豆、粟米和粗麥，放在一個器皿裡，給自己做餅。在你側臥的三百九十天裡，你都要吃這些餅。
9Take for yourself also wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make bread of it; according to the number of the days that you shall lie on your side, even three hundred ninety days, you shall eat of it.
10你所吃的食物要有一定分量，每天二百三十克，要在指定的時候吃。
10Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time you shall eat it.
11你喝的水也要有一定分量，每天半公升，要在指定的時候喝。
11You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time you shall drink.
12你吃這些餅，要像吃烙的大麥餅一樣，但要用人糞在眾人面前燒烤。”
12You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.
13耶和華說：“以色列人在我趕他們去的列國中，也要這樣吃不潔淨的食物。”
13Yahweh said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them.
14我說：“主耶和華啊！我從來沒有玷污過自己。我從小到現在都沒有吃過已經死去的，或是野獸撕裂的動物，不潔淨的肉從沒有進過我的口。”
14Then I said, Ah Lord Yahweh! behold, my soul has not been polluted; for from my youth up even until now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of animals; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.
15於是他對我說：“你看，我准你用牛糞代替人糞，你可以在牛糞上烤你的餅。”
15Then he said to me, Behold, I have given you cow’s dung for man’s dung, and you shall prepare your bread thereon.
16他又對我說：“人子啊，我要斷絕耶路撒冷的糧食。他們要滿心憂慮，吃配給的口糧；十分驚惶，喝配給的水。
16Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness; and they shall drink water by measure, and in dismay:
17他們缺糧缺水，各人都必驚惶，因自己的罪孽衰弱而死。”
17that they may want bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
