¹You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before yourself, and portray on it a city, even Jerusalem:

¹Du Mennneskesøn tag dig en teglsten, læg den for dig og indrids i den et Billede af en By, Jerusalem;

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.

²og kast en Vold op omkring den, byg Belejringstårne, opkast Stormvold, lad Hære lejre sig imod den og rejs Stormbukke mod den fra alle Sider;

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.

³tag dig så en Jernpande og sæt den som en Jernvæg op mellem dig og Byen og ret dit Ansigt imod den. Således skal den være omringet, og du skal trænge den. Det skal være Israels Hus et Tegn.

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.

⁴Og læg du dig på din venstre Side og tag, Israels Huss Misgerning på dig; alle de Dage du ligger således, skal du bære deres Misgerning.

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.

⁵Deres Misgernings År gør jeg til lige så mange Dage for dig, 190 Dage; så længe skal du bære Israels Huss Misgerning.

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.

⁶Og når de er til Ende, læg dig så på din højre Side og bær Judas Huss Misgerning 40 Dage; for hvert År giver jeg dig en Dag.

⁷You shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall prophesy against it.

⁷Og du skal rette dit Ansigt og din blottede Arm mod det omringede Jerusalem og profetere imod det.

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.

⁸Og se, jeg lægger Bånd på dig, så du ikke kan vende dig fra den ene Side til den anden, før din Belejrings Dage er til Ende.

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.

⁹Og tag du dig Hvede, Byg, Bønner, Linser, Hirse og Spelt, kom det i et og samme Kar og lav dig Brød deraf; alle de Dage du ligger på Siden, 190 Dage, skal det være din Mad;

¹⁰Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time you shall eat it.

¹⁰og Maden, du får, skal være efter Vægt, tyve Sekel daglig; du skal spise den een Gang daglig.

¹¹You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time you shall drink.

¹¹Og Vand skal du drikke efter Mål, en Sjettedel Hin; du skal drikke een Gang daglig.

¹²You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.

¹²Og som Bygkager skal du spise det og bage det ved Menneskeskarn i deres Påsyn.

¹³Yahweh said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them.

¹³Og du skal sige: "Så sige HERREN: Således skal Israeliterne have urent Brød til Føde blandt de Folk, jeg bortstøder dem til!"

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.

¹⁴Men jeg sagde: "Ak, Herre, HERRE, jeg har endnu aldrig været uren; noget selvdødt eller sønderrevet har jeg fra Barnsben aldrig spist, og urent Kød kom aldrig i min Mund!"

¹⁵Then he said to me, Behold, I have given you cow’s dung for man’s dung, and you shall prepare your bread thereon.

¹⁵Da svarede han: "Vel, jeg tillader dig at tage Oksegødning i Stedet for Menneskeskarn og bage dit Brød derved."

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:

¹⁶Videre sagde han til mig: Menneskesøn! Se, jeg bryder Brødets Støttestav i Jerusalem; Brød skal de spise efter Vægt og i Angst, og Vand skal de drikke efter Mål og i Rædsel,

¹⁷that they may want bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.

¹⁷for at de må mangle Brød og Vand og alle som een være slagne af Rædsel og hensmægte i deres Misgerning.
