4 — Ezechiele

1And thou, O son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee: and draw upon it the plan of the city of Jerusalem.Tu figliuolo dell'uomo, prenditi un mattone, e te lo porrai davanti, e su questo disegnerai fa città di Gerusalemme.AND thou sonne of man take thee a bricke, & thou shalt put it before thee: and thou shalt draw in it the citie of Ierusalem.Et tu, fili hominis, sume tibi laterem, et pones eum coram te, et describes in eo civitatem Jerusalem. 2And lay siege against it, and build forts, and cast up a mount, and set a camp against it, and place battering rams round about it.E disporrai contro di essa un assedio, e vi fabbricherai delle torri, e ammasserai terra, e porrai alloggiamenti contro di essa, e all'intorno metterai gli arieti.And thou shalt lay siege against it, and shalt build munitions, and cast vp a bancke, and pitch campes against it, and place engines round about.Et ordinabis adversus eam obsidionem, et ædificabis munitiones, et comportabis aggerem, et dabis contra eam castra, et pones arietes in gyro. 3And take unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face resolutely against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it: it is a sign to the house of Israel.E tu prenditi una padella di ferro, e la porrai, qual muro di ferro, tra te, a la città, e la guarderai con occhio bieco, ed ella sarà assediata, e tu la circonderai. Questo è un segno per la casa d'Israele.And thou take thee an yron frying panne, and thou shalt set it as an yron wal betwen thee & the citie: and thou shalt set thy face stedely toward it, and it shal be besieged, and thou shalt compasse it: which is a signe to the house of Israel.Et tu sume tibi sartaginem ferream, et pones eam in murum ferreum inter te et inter civitatem: et obfirmabis faciem tuam ad eam, et erit in obsidionem, et circumdabis eam: signum est domui Israël. 4And thou shalt sleep upon thy left side, and shalt lay the iniquities of the house of Israel upon it, according to the number of the days that thou shalt sleep upon it, and thou shalt take upon thee their iniquity.E tu dormirai sul tuo fianco sinistro, e porrai su di questo le iniquità della casa d'Israele per quel numero di giorni, ne' quali tu dormirai su di quel, e porterai le loro iniquità.And thou shalt sleepe vpon thy left side, and shalt put the iniquities of the house of Israel vpon it, according to the number of the daies, that thou shalt sleepe vpon it, and thou shalt take their iniquitie.Et tu dormies super latus tuum sinistrum, et pones iniquitates domus Israël super eo, numero dierum quibus dormies super illud: et assumes iniquitatem eorum.

5And I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days three hundred and ninety days: and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.Or io ti ho dato il numero di trecento novanta giorni per tanti anni della loro iniquità; e tu porterai l'iniquità della casa d'Israele.And I haue geuen thee the yeares of their iniquitie, according to the number of daies three hundred and ninetie daies: and thou shalt beare the iniquitie of the house of Israel.Ego autem dedi tibi annos iniquitatis eorum, numero dierum trecentos et nonaginta dies: et portabis iniquitatem domus Israël. 6And when thou hast accomplished this, thou shalt sleep again upon thy right side, and thou shalt take upon thee the iniquity of the house of Juda forty days: a day for a year, yea, a day for a year I have appointed to thee.E finiti questi giorni tu dormirai in secondo luogo sul tuo destro fianco, e porterai l'iniquità della casa di Giuda per quaranta giorni, un dì per un anno; perocché ho assegnato a te un di per un anno.And when thou hast accomplished these thinges, thou shalt sleepe vpon thy right side the second time: and thou shalt take the iniquitie of the house of Iuda fourtie daies. a day for a yeare, a day, I say, for a yeare I haue geuen thee.Et cum compleveris hæc, dormies super latus tuum dexterum secundo, et assumes iniquitatem domus Juda quadraginta diebus: diem pro anno, diem, inquam, pro anno, dedi tibi. 7And thou shalt turn thy face to the siege of Jerusalem and thy arm shall be stretched out: and thou shalt prophesy against it.E volgerai la tua faccia all'assediata Gerusalemme, e stenderai il tuo braccio, e profeterai contro di lei.And thou shalt turne thy face to the siege of Ierusalem, and thine arme shal be streched out: and thou shalt prophecie against it.Et ad obsidionem Jerusalem convertes faciem tuam, et brachium tuum erit extentum: et prophetabis adversus eam. 8Behold I have encompassed thee with bands: and thou shalt not turn thyself from one side to the other, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.Ecco che io ti ho cinto di catene, e tu non ti volterai da un lato all'altro fino a tanto, che tu abbi compiuti i giorni del tuo assedio.Behold I haue compassed thee with bandes: and thou shalt not turne thy self from thy side vnto the other side, til thou accomplish the daies of thy siege.Ecce circumdedi te vinculis: et non te convertes a latere tuo in latus aliud, donec compleas dies obsidionis tuæ.

9And take to thee wheat and barley, and beans, and lentils, 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.E tu prendi del frumento, e dell'orzo, e delle fave, e delle lenti, e del miglio, e della vezza, e queste cose metti in un vaso, e ne farai dei pani secondo il numero de' giorni, ne' quali dormirai sul tuo fianco: ne mangerai per trecento novanta giorni.And thou take thee wheate and barley, and beanes, and lintiles, and millet, and fitches: and thou shalt put them into one vessel, and make thee loaues according to the number of the daies, that thou shalt sleepe vpon thy side: three hundred and ninetie daies shalt thou eate it.Et tu, sume tibi frumentum, et hordeum, et fabam, et lentem, et milium, et viciam: et mittes ea in vas unum, et facies tibi panes numero dierum quibus dormies super latus tuum: trecentis et nonaginta diebus comedes illud. 10And thy meat that thou shalt eat, shall be in weight twenty staters a day: from time to time thou shalt eat it.E quel, che tu mangerai per tuo nutrimento, sarà del peso di venti stateri per giorno: lo mangerai da un tempo all'altro.And thy meate, that thou shalt eate, shal be in weight twentie staters a day: from time to time thou shalt eate it.Cibus autem tuus, quo vesceris, erit in pondere viginti stateres in die: a tempore usque ad tempus comedes illud. 11And thou shalt drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time thou shalt drink it,E l'acqua berai a misura, la sesta parte di un hin; la berai da un tempo all'altro.And water by measure thou shalt drinke, the sixt part of an hin: from time to time thou shalt drinke it.Et aquam in mensura bibes, sextam partem hin: a tempore usque ad tempus bibes illud. 12And thou shalt eat it as barley bread baked under the ashes: and thou shalt cover it, in their sight, with the dung that cometh out of a man.E (il pane) lo mangerai cotto sotto la cenere come una schiacciata di orzo; e collo sterco umano lo cuoprirai sotto gli occhi loro.And as hearth baken barley bread thou shalt eate it: and with the dung that commeth out of a man, thou shalt couer it before their eies.Et quasi subcinericium hordeaceum comedes illud, et stercore quod egreditur de homine operies illud in oculis eorum. 13And the Lord said: So shall the children of Israel eat their bread all filthy among the nations whither I will cast them out.E disse il Signore: Così i figliuoli d'Israele mangeranno immondo il loro pane tralle nazioni, dov'io li caccerò.And our Lord said: So shal the children of Israel eate their bread polluted among the Gentils, to the which I shal cast them out.Et dixit Dominus: Sic comedent filii Israël panem suum pollutum inter gentes ad quas ejiciam eos. Et dixi:

14And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God, behold my soul hath not been defiled, and from my infancy even till now, I have not eaten any thing that died of itself, or was torn by beasts, and no unclean flesh hath entered into my mouth.E io dissi: Ah, ah, ah, Signore Dio, l'anima mia non è contaminata, e dalla mia adolescenza fino ad ora non mangiai d'animale morto da se, o sbranato dalle fiere, e nissuna sorta di carne immonda è entrata in bocca a me:And I said: A, a, a, ô Lord God, behold my soule is not polluted, & a dead thing, and thing torne of beastes I haue not eaten from mine infancie euen til this time, and al vncleane flesh hath not entered into my mouth.A, a, a, Domine Deus, ecce anima mea non est polluta: et morticinum, et laceratum a bestiis non comedi ab infantia mea usque nunc, et non est ingressa in os meum omnis caro immunda. 15And he said to me: Behold I have given thee neat’s dung for man’s dung, and thou shalt make thy bread therewith.Ed ei mi disse: Ecco che in cambio di sterco umano ti assegno sterco di bue, e con questo farai il tuo pane.And he said to me: Behold I haue geuen thee dung of oxen for mans dung, and thou shalt make thy bread therwith.Et dixit ad me: Ecce dedi tibi fimum boum pro stercoribus humanis, et facies panem tuum in eo. 16And he said to me: Son of man: Behold, I will break in pieces the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care: and they shall drink water by measure, and in distress.E mi disse: Figliuolo dell'uomo, ecco che io torrò a Gerusalemme il sostentamento del pane, e il pane mangeranno a once, e con apprensione, e l'acqua beranno a misura con afflizione;And he said to me: Sonne of man: Behold I wil breake the staffe of bread in Ierusalem: and they shal eate bread in weight, and in carefulnes: and they shal drinke water in measure, and in distresse.Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis, ecce ego conteram baculum panis in Jerusalem, et comedent panem in pondere et in sollicitudine, et aquam in mensura et in angustia bibent, 17So that when bread and water fail, every man may fall against his brother, and they may pine away in their iniquities.Talmente, che mancato il pane, e l'acqua, venga a cadere l'uno addosso all'altro, e si consumino nelle loro iniquità.That bread and water fayling, euerie man may fal against his brother, & they may pine away in their iniquities.ut deficientibus pane et aqua, corruat unusquisque ad fratrem suum, et contabescant in iniquitatibus suis.
