Ezekiel, 4

1. “And as for you, son of man, take up for yourself a tablet, and you shall set it before you. And you shall draw upon it the city of Jerusalem.

1. A ti, sine èovjeèji, uzmi opeku, postavi je preda se i nacrtaj na njoj grad Jeruzalem.

2. And you shall set up a blockade against it, and you shall build fortifications, and you shall put together a rampart, and you shall encamp opposite it, and you shall place battering rams around it.

2. Oko njega postavi opsadu, sagradi prema njemu utvrdu, podigni nasip, iskopaj oko njega opkop, razvrstaj vojsku i porazmjesti zidodere uokolo.

3. And you shall take up for yourself an iron frying pan, and place it as an iron wall between you and the city. And harden your face against it, and it shall be under a siege, and you shall surround it. This is a sign to the house of Israel.

3. Zatim uzmi gvozdenu ploèu i postavi je kao gvozden bedem izmeðu sebe i grada te k njemu okreni lice, i bit æe opsjednut. Pritisni ga! To je znak domu Izraelovu!

4. And you shall sleep on your left side. And you shall place the iniquities of the house of Israel on it by the number of days that you will sleep on it. And you shall take upon yourself their iniquity.

4. Zatim lezi na svoju lijevu stranu i stavi na se grijeh doma Izraelova: koliko dana budeš tako ležao, toliko æeš dana nositi njihov grijeh.

5. For I have given to you the years of their iniquity, by the number of the days: three hundred and ninety days. And you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

5. Dajem ti po dan za godine grijeha njihovih: sto i devedeset dana nosit æeš grijeh doma Izraelova.

6. And when you will have completed this, you shall sleep a second time, on your right side, and you shall assume the iniquity of the house of Judah for forty days: one day for each year; one day, I say, for each year, have I given to you.

6. A kad to završiš, èetrdeset æeš dana ležati na desnoj strani da nosiš grijeh doma Judina; dajem ti po dan za svaku godinu.

7. And you shall turn your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and your arm shall be extended. And you shall prophesy against it.

7. Tad okreni lice prema opsjedanom Jeruzalemu, pruži golu desnicu i prorokuj protiv njega.

8. Behold, I have surrounded you with chains. And you shall not turn yourself from one side to the other side, until you have completed the days of your siege.

8. A ja æu te užetima vezati da se ne možeš okretati s jedne strane na drugu dok ne navršiš dane svoje opsade.

9. And you shall take for yourself wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and vetch. And you shall set them in one vessel, and you shall make for yourself bread by the number of days that you will sleep upon your side: three hundred and ninety days shall you shall eat from it.

9. Uzmi pšenice, jeèma, boba, leæe, prosa i raži, stavi to u jednu posudu i pripravi od toga sebi kruh. Jest æeš ga onoliko dana koliko budeš ležao na svojoj strani: sto i devedeset dana.

10. But your food, which you will eat, shall be in weight twenty staters a day. You shall eat it from time to time.

10. Jelo što æeš ga jesti bit æe izmjereno; dvadeset šekela na dan; a jest æeš ga u odreðeno vrijeme.

11. And you shall drink water by measure, one sixth part of a hin. You shall drink it from time to time.

11. I vodu æeš piti na mjeru: šestinu hina. Pit æeš je u odreðeno vrijeme.

12. And you shall eat it like barley bread baked under ashes. And you shall cover it, in their sight, with the dung that goes out of a man.”

12. A jest æeš pogaèu od jeèma što æeš je pred njima ispeæi na ljudskim izmetinama."

13. And the Lord said: “So shall the sons of Israel eat their bread, polluted among the Gentiles, to whom I will cast them out.”

13. I reèe: "Tako æe sinovi Izraelovi jesti svoj neèisti kruh meðu narodima meðu koje æu ih izagnati."

14. And I said: “Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! Behold, my soul has not been polluted, and from my infancy even until now, I have not eaten anything that has died of itself, nor that which has been torn up by beasts, and no unclean flesh at all has entered into my mouth.”

14. Ja mu odgovorih: "Jao, Jahve Gospode, gle, moja duša nije okaljana, jer se od djetinjstva još ne okusih nièega uginulog ni rastrganog niti u moja usta ikad uðe meso neèisto."

15. And he said to me: “Behold, I have given to you cow manure in place of human dung, and you shall make your bread with it.”

15. A on æe: "Gle, dajem ti kravlju balegu umjesto ljudskih izmetina da na njoj ispeèeš kruh!"

16. And he said to me: “Son of man, behold: I will crush the staff of bread in Jerusalem. And they will eat bread by weight and with anxiety. And they will drink water by measure and with anguish.

16. Još mi reèe: "Sine èovjeèji, uništit æu u Jeruzalemu posljednju prièuvu kruha, i jest æe kruh na mjeru i s tjeskobom, i pit æe vodu na mjeru i sa zebnjom.

17. So then, when bread and water fail, each one may fall against his brother. And they shall waste away in their iniquities.”

17. Neka im nestane kruha i vode, neka usahnu zbog bezakonja svojega i jedan za drugim neka poginu!

4:1-3 - God commands Ezekiel to prepare a model of the city of Jerusalem and lay siege to it, representing the siege of the city. This symbolic act reveals God's impending judgment on Jerusalem, demonstrating the seriousness of sin and its consequences (see also Jeremiah 52:4-5 and Luke 19:41-44).

4:4-8 - Ezekiel is instructed to lie on his side for 390 days, representing the punishment of Israel, and 40 days, representing the punishment of Judah.
