¹Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, even Jerusalem:

¹耶路撒冷被困的象征

²And 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.

²然后安放围城设施，建造围城高墙，筑起攻城土垒，摆列兵营，四周架起攻城锤。

³Moreover 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.

³你又要拿一个铁的煎盘，放在你和城的中间当作铁墙。你要面向着城，象征城要被围困，你就是围攻那城的。这要作以色列家的预兆。

⁴Lie 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.

⁴被掳期限的象征“你要向左边侧卧，承担以色列家的罪孽。你向左边侧卧多少日子，你担当他们的罪孽也是多少日子。

⁵For 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.

⁵我已经给你定了日子的数目，就是三百九十天，等于他们作孽的年数，你要在这些日子担当以色列家的罪孽。

⁶And 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.

⁶这些日子满了以后，你要再向右边侧卧，担当犹大家的罪孽，我已经给你定了四十天，一天等于一年。

⁷Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.

⁷你要面向着被围困的耶路撒冷，赤露着膀臂，说预言攻击这城。

⁸And, 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.

⁸我要用绳子把你捆绑起来，使你不能转身，直等到你围困城的日子满了。

⁹Take 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.

⁹城困粮绝的象征“你要拿小麦、大麦、豆子、扁豆、粟米和粗麦，放在一个器皿里，给自己做饼。在你侧卧的三百九十天里，你都要吃这些饼。

¹⁰And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.

¹⁰你所吃的食物要有一定分量，每天二百三十克，要在指定的时候吃。

¹¹Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.

¹¹你喝的水也要有一定分量，每天半公升，要在指定的时候喝。

¹²And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.

¹²你吃这些饼，要像吃烙的大麦饼一样，但要用人粪在众人面前烧烤。”

¹³And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.

¹³耶和华说：“以色列人在我赶他们去的列国中，也要这样吃不洁净的食物。”

¹⁴Then 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.

¹⁴我说：“主耶和华啊！我从来没有玷污过自己。我从小到现在都没有吃过已经死去的，或是野兽撕裂的动物，不洁净的肉从没有进过我的口。”

¹⁵Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.

¹⁵于是他对我说：“你看，我准你用牛粪代替人粪，你可以在牛粪上烤你的饼。”

¹⁶Moreover 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:

¹⁶他又对我说：“人子啊，我要断绝耶路撒冷的粮食。他们要满心忧虑，吃配给的口粮；十分惊惶，喝配给的水。

¹⁷That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.

¹⁷他们缺粮缺水，各人都必惊惶，因自己的罪孽衰弱而死。”
