¹ A ti, sine čovečji, uzmi opeku, i metni je preda se, i izreži na njoj grad Jerusalim.

² I postavi oko njega opsadu, i načini kule prema njemu, i iskopaj oko njega opkop, i postavi vojsku oko njega, i namesti ubojne sprave oko njega.

³ Po tom uzmi tavicu gvozdenu, i metni je kao gvozden zid između sebe i grada, i okreni lice svoje suprot njemu, i on će se opsesti, i ti ćeš ga opsesti. To će biti znak domu Izrailjevom.

⁴ Potom lezi na levu stranu svoju, i metni na nju bezakonje doma Izrailjevog; koliko dana uzležiš na njoj toliko ćeš nositi njihovo bezakonje.

⁵ A ja ti dajem godine bezakonja njihova brojem dana, trista i devedeset dana, i toliko ćeš nositi bezakonje doma Izrailjevog.

⁶ A kad ih navršiš, onda lezi na desnu stranu svoju, i nosi bezakonje doma Judinog četrdeset dana; po jedan dan dajem ti za godinu.

⁷ I okreni lice svoje prema opkoljenom Jerusalimu zagalivši mišicu svoju, i prorokuj protiv njega.

⁸ I evo, vezaću te uzicama da se ne prevrneš s jedne strane na drugu dokle ne navršiš dane opsade tvoje.

⁹ I uzmi pšenice i ječma i boba i leća i prosa i krupnika, i saspi sve u jedan sud, i načini od toga sebi hleba prema broju dana u koje ćeš ležati na svojoj strani, tri stotine i devedeset dana ješćeš ga.

¹⁰ I jela tvog što ćeš jesti neka bude merom dvadeset sikala na dan; na rokove jedi ga.

¹¹ I vodu pij merom, po šestinu ina, pij na rokove.

¹² A hleb presan ječmen jedi, ispekavši ga na kalu čovečjem na njihove oči.

¹³ I reče Gospod: Tako će jesti sinovi Izrailjevi hleb svoj nečist među narodima u koje ću ih razagnati.

¹⁴ Tada rekoh: Ah Gospode Gospode, gle, duša se moja nije oskvrnila, jer od detinjstva svog do sada nisam jeo mrcinoga ni šta bi zverka razdrla, niti je ušlo u usta moja meso nečisto.

¹⁵ A On mi reče: Vidi, dajem ti goveđu balegu mesto čovečjeg kala, da na njoj ispečeš sebi hleb.

¹⁶ Zatim reče mi: Sine čovečji, evo ja ću slomiti potporu u hlebu u Jerusalimu, te će jesti hleb na meru i u brizi, i vodu će piti na meru i u čudu.

¹⁷ Jer će im nestati hleba i vode da će se čuditi među sobom i sasušiće se od bezakonja svog.

¹ He said to Moses, "Come up to Yahweh, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.

² Moses alone shall come near to Yahweh, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him."

³ Moses came and told the people all the words of Yahweh, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, "All the words which Yahweh has spoken will we do."

⁴ Moses wrote all the words of Yahweh, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

⁵ He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to Yahweh.

⁶ Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

⁷ He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, "All that Yahweh has spoken will we do, and be obedient."

⁸ Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which Yahweh has made with you concerning all these words."

⁹ Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.

¹⁰ They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.

¹¹ He didn't lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.

¹² Yahweh said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the tables of stone with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them."

¹³ Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God's Mountain.

¹⁴ He said to the elders, "Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them."

¹⁵ Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

¹⁶ The glory of Yahweh settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

¹⁷ The appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.

¹⁸ Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
