1«Tu, figlio d’uomo, prendi una spada affilata, un rasoio da barbiere, prendila e fattela passare sul capo e sulla barba; poi prendi una bilancia da pesare e dividi i peli che avrai tagliati.2Bruciane una terza parte nel fuoco in mezzo alla città, quando i giorni dell’assedio saranno compiuti; poi prendine un’altra terza parte e percuotila con la spada attorno alla città; disperdi al vento l’ultima terza parte, dietro alla quale io sguainerò la spada.3Di questa, prendi una piccola quantità e legala nei lembi della tua veste,4e di questa prendi ancora una parte, gettala nel fuoco e bruciala nel fuoco; di là uscirà un fuoco contro tutta la casa d’Israele.5Così parla il Signore, Dio: “Ecco Gerusalemme! Io l’avevo posta in mezzo alle nazioni e agli altri paesi che la circondavano.6Essa, per darsi all’empietà, si è ribellata alle mie leggi più delle nazioni, e alle mie prescrizioni più dei paesi che la circondavano, poiché ha disprezzato le mie leggi e non ha camminato seguendo le mie prescrizioni”.7Perciò così parla il Signore, Dio: “Poiché voi siete stati più ribelli delle nazioni che vi circondano, in quanto non avete camminato seguendo le mie prescrizioni, non avete osservato le mie leggi e non avete neppure agito secondo le leggi delle nazioni che vi circondano,8così parla il Signore, Dio: Eccomi, vengo io da te! Eseguirò in mezzo a te i miei giudizi in presenza delle nazioni;9farò a te quello che non ho mai fatto e che non farò mai più così, a motivo di tutte le tue abominazioni.10Perciò, in mezzo a te, dei padri mangeranno i loro figli, e dei figli mangeranno i loro padri; io eseguirò su di te dei giudizi e disperderò a tutti i venti quel che rimarrà di te.11Perciò, com’è vero che io vivo”, dice il Signore, Dio, “poiché tu hai contaminato il mio santuario con tutte le tue infamie e con tutte le tue abominazioni, anch’io ti raderò, l’occhio mio non risparmierà nessuno e anch’io non avrò pietà.12Una terza parte di te morirà di peste e sarà consumata dalla fame in mezzo a te; una terza parte cadrà per la spada attorno a te, e ne disperderò a tutti i venti l’altra terza parte e sguainerò contro di essa la spada.13Così si sfogherà la mia ira: io riverserò su di loro il mio furore e sarò soddisfatto; essi conosceranno che io, il Signore, ho parlato nella mia gelosia, quando avrò sfogato su di loro il mio furore.14Farò di te, sotto gli occhi di tutti i passanti, una desolazione, il vituperio delle nazioni che ti circondano.15La tua infamia e il tuo disonore serviranno di ammonimento e di stupore per le nazioni che ti circondano, quando io avrò eseguito su di te i miei giudizi con ira, con furore, con indignati castighi – io, il Signore, ho parlato –16quando avrò scoccato contro di loro i letali dardi della fame, apportatori di distruzione e che io scaglierò per distruggervi, quando avrò aggravato su di voi la fame e vi avrò sottratto il sostegno del pane,17quando avrò mandato contro di voi la fame e le bestie feroci che ti priveranno dei figli, quando la peste e il sangue ti avranno devastata, e quando io avrò fatto venire su di te la spada. Io, il Signore, ho parlato”».

di SCM Verlag1Und du, Menschensohn, nimm dir ein scharfes Schwert: als Schermesser sollst du es dir nehmen und damit über deinen Kopf und über deinen Bart fahren; und nimm dir Waagschalen und teile die Haare[1]! (Is 7,20)2Ein Drittel sollst du mitten in der Stadt mit Feuer verbrennen, wenn die Tage der Belagerung erfüllt sind; und ein Drittel sollst du nehmen ⟨und es⟩ rings um sie her mit dem Schwert schlagen; und ein Drittel sollst du in den Wind streuen! Denn ich werde das Schwert ziehen hinter ihnen her. (Ger 9,15; Ger 15,2; Ez 4,1; Ez 4,7; Ez 12,14; Am 9,4)3Und du sollst davon etwas nehmen, wenig an Zahl, und in deine ⟨Mantel⟩zipfel binden.4Und von diesen sollst du noch einmal nehmen und sie mitten ins Feuer werfen und sie mit Feuer verbrennen! Davon wird ein Feuer ausgehen gegen das ganze Haus Israel.
Die Botschaft der Zeichenhandlungen: Gott selbst gibt Jerusalem preis
5So spricht der Herr, HERR: Das ist Jerusalem! Mitten unter die Nationen habe ich es gesetzt und Länder rings um es her. (Sal 87,3)6Und es war widerspenstig gegen meine Rechtsbestimmungen, gottloser als die Nationen, und gegen meine Ordnungen, mehr als die Länder, die rings um es her sind. Denn meine Rechtsbestimmungen haben sie verworfen, und in meinen Ordnungen haben sie nicht gelebt[2]. (Eso 16,28; 2Re 21,9; Ne 9,34; Ez 11,12; Ez 16,47; Da 9,5)7Darum, so spricht der Herr, HERR: Weil ihr getobt habt[3] mehr als die Nationen, die rings um euch her sind, in meinen Ordnungen nicht gelebt[4] und meine Rechtsbestimmungen nicht gehalten habt, ja, ⟨selbst⟩ nach den Rechtsbestimmungen der Nationen, die rings um euch her sind, nicht gehandelt habt,8darum, so spricht der Herr, HERR: Siehe, ⟨jetzt⟩ will auch ich gegen dich sein und will Strafgerichte in deiner Mitte üben vor den Augen der Nationen. (Ez 11,9; Ez 16,41)9Und ich will an dir tun, was ich ⟨noch⟩ nie getan habe und desgleichen ich nicht wieder tun werde, um all deiner Gräuel willen. (Ez 33,29; Da 9,12)10Darum werden Väter ⟨ihre⟩ Söhne essen in deiner Mitte, und Söhne werden ihre Väter essen. Und ich will Strafgerichte an dir üben und will deinen ganzen Rest in alle Winde zerstreuen. (Le 26,29; Ne 1,8; Lam 2,20; Lam 4,16; Ez 12,14; Ez 22,15; Da 9,7)11Darum, so wahr ich lebe, spricht der Herr, HERR[5]: Fürwahr, weil du mein Heiligtum unrein gemacht hast mit all deinen Scheusalen und mit all deinen Gräueln, so will auch ich ⟨dich⟩ scheren und ⟨deinetwegen⟩ nicht betrübt sein[6], und auch ich will kein Mitleid haben. (Ger 7,9; Lam 2,21; Ez 7,4; Ez 8,5; Ez 8,18; Ez 9,5; Ez 23,38; Ez 24,14; 1Co 3,17)12Ein Drittel von dir soll an der Pest sterben und in deiner Mitte durch Hunger umkommen; und ein Drittel soll durchs Schwert fallen rings um dich her; und ein Drittel werde ich in alle Winde zerstreuen, und ich werde das Schwert ziehen hinter ihnen her. (Is 1,24; Ger 9,15; Ger 14,12; Ger 15,2; Ger 15,9; Ez 6,12; Ez 7,3; Ez 12,14; Ez 14,21; Ez 16,42; Ez 21,22; Ez 24,13; Ez 43,8; Am 9,4; Ap 6,8)13Und mein Zorn soll sich erfüllen, und meinen Grimm werde ich an ihnen stillen und Rache nehmen. Und sie werden erkennen, dass ich, der HERR, in meinem Eifer geredet habe, wenn ich meinen Grimm an ihnen erfülle. (Is 1,24; Ger 14,12; Ger 15,9; Ez 6,10; Ez 6,12; Ez 7,3; Ez 14,21; Ez 16,42; Ez 17,21; Ez 21,22; Ez 23,25; Ez 24,13; Ez 43,8; Ap 6,8)14Und ich werde dich zur Trümmerstätte machen und zum Hohn unter den Nationen, die rings um dich her sind, vor den Augen eines jeden, der vorübergeht. (Ne 2,17; Ez 36,34)15Und du wirst[7] ⟨zum⟩ Hohn und ⟨zur⟩ Spottrede sein, ⟨zur⟩ Warnung und ⟨zum⟩ Grausen für die Nationen, die rings um dich her sind, wenn ich Strafgerichte an dir übe im Zorn und im Grimm und mit grimmigen Züchtigungen – ich, der HERR, habe geredet –, (Le 26,32; De 28,37; 1Re 9,7; 2Cr 29,8; Ger 29,18; Lam 2,15; Ez 11,9; Ez 16,41)16wenn ich die bösen Pfeile des Hungers gegen sie sende, die zur Vernichtung sind, die ich sende, um euch zu vernichten, und ⟨wenn⟩ ich den Hunger über euch häufe und euch den Stab des Brotes[8] zerbreche (Ez 4,16)17und ⟨wenn⟩ ich Hunger über euch sende und böse Tiere, dass sie dich kinderlos machen, und ⟨wenn⟩ Pest und Blut durch dich[9] hindurchziehen und ich das Schwert über dich bringe. Ich, der HERR, habe geredet. (Le 26,22; Ez 14,21; Ez 28,23; Ez 33,27; Ap 6,8)
1“And you, O son of man, take a sharp sword. Use it as a barber’s razor and pass it over your head and your beard. Then take balances for weighing and divide the hair. (Le 21,5; Sal 57,4; Is 7,20; Is 49,2; Ez 1,3; Ez 2,1; Ez 44,20)2A third part you shall burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are completed. And a third part you shall take and strike with the sword all around the city. And a third part you shall scatter to the wind, and I will unsheathe the sword after them. (Ger 9,16; Ez 4,1; Ez 4,8; Ez 5,5; Ez 5,10; Ez 5,12; Ez 12,14)3And you shall take from these a small number and bind them in the skirts of your robe. (Ger 40,6; Ger 52,16)4And of these again you shall take some and cast them into the midst of the fire and burn them in the fire. From there a fire will come out into all the house of Israel. (Ger 42,18; Ger 44,14)5“Thus says the Lord God: This is Jerusalem. I have set her in the center of the nations, with countries all around her. (Ez 4,1; Ez 5,2; Ez 38,12)6And she has rebelled against my rules by doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries all around her; for they have rejected my rules and have not walked in my statutes. (Ez 5,5; Ez 16,47)7Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you are more turbulent than the nations that are all around you, and have not walked in my statutes or obeyed my rules, and have not[1] even acted according to the rules of the nations that are all around you, (Sal 2,1; Sal 46,6; Ez 11,12; Ez 16,47)8therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I, even I, am against you. And I will execute judgments[2] in your midst in the sight of the nations. (Ez 11,9; Ez 13,8; Ez 16,41; Ez 22,16; Ez 23,10)9And because of all your abominations I will do with you what I have never yet done, and the like of which I will never do again. (2Re 21,12; Lam 1,12; Da 9,12)10Therefore fathers shall eat their sons in your midst, and sons shall eat their fathers. And I will execute judgments on you, and any of you who survive I will scatter to all the winds. (De 28,64; Ger 9,16; Ger 15,4; Ger 19,9; Ez 5,2; Ez 5,8; Ez 12,14; Ez 17,21; Ez 22,15; Ez 36,19; Zac 2,6)11Therefore, as I live, declares the Lord God, surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things and with all your abominations, therefore I will withdraw.[3] My eye will not spare, and I will have no pity. (2Cr 36,14; Ger 7,30; Ger 21,7; Ez 7,4; Ez 7,9; Ez 7,20; Ez 8,3; Ez 8,5; Ez 8,18; Ez 9,5; Ez 9,10; Ez 11,18; Ez 11,21; Ez 16,27; Ez 16,48; Ez 23,39)12A third part of you shall die of pestilence and be consumed with famine in your midst; a third part shall fall by the sword all around you; and a third part I will scatter to all the winds and will unsheathe the sword after them. (Ger 15,2; Ez 5,2; Ez 6,11)13“Thus shall my anger spend itself, and I will vent my fury upon them and satisfy myself. And they shall know that I am the Lord—that I have spoken in my jealousy—when I spend my fury upon them. (Lam 4,11; Ez 6,12; Ez 7,8; Ez 20,8; Ez 20,21; Ez 36,5; Ez 38,19; Ez 39,25)14Moreover, I will make you a desolation and an object of reproach among the nations all around you and in the sight of all who pass by. (Ne 2,17; Sal 79,4; Ger 22,5; Ger 24,9; Ez 5,5; Ez 6,6; Ez 22,4)15You shall be[4] a reproach and a taunt, a warning and a horror, to the nations all around you, when I execute judgments on you in anger and fury, and with furious rebukes—I am the Lord; I have spoken— (De 28,37; Ez 5,14; Ez 14,8; Ez 14,21; Ez 25,17)16when I send against you[5] the deadly arrows of famine, arrows for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, and when I bring more and more famine upon you and break your supply[6] of bread. (De 32,23; Ez 4,16)17I will send famine and wild beasts against you, and they will rob you of your children. Pestilence and blood shall pass through you, and I will bring the sword upon you. I am the Lord; I have spoken.” (De 32,24; 2Re 17,25; Ez 14,15; Ez 33,27; Ez 34,25; Ez 36,12; Ez 38,22)

King James Version
1And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber' razor, and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair .2Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, and smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.3Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.4Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.5Thus saith the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her.6And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.7Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you;8Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.9And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.10Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.11Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee ; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.12A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.13Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.14Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.15So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it .16When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:17So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it .
