以西結書 23
1 上主的話傳給我說：「
And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
2 人子，有兩個女人，同是一母的女兒，
and he seide, Thou, sone of man, twei wymmen weren the douytris of o modir, and diden fornycacioun in Egipt;
3 她們在埃及行過淫，年輕時當過娼，在那裏有人撫弄過她們的乳房，在那裏有人糟蹋了她們的童身。
in her yonge wexynge age thei diden fornicacioun; there the brestis of hem weren maad low, and the tetis of the tyme of mariage of hem weren brokun.
4 她們的名字，大的叫敖曷拉，她妹妹叫敖曷里巴。她們本來屬於我，也給我生了子女。至於她們的名字：敖曷拉是指撒瑪黎雅，敖曷里巴是指耶路撒冷。
Forsothe the names of hem ben, Oolla, the more sistir, and Ooliba the lesse sistir of hir. And Y hadde hem, and thei childiden sones and douytris; certis the names of hem ben Samarie Oolla, and Jerusalem Ooliba.
5 敖曷拉屬我時，已行邪淫，戀愛了她的情人，鄰邦亞述人，
Therfor Oolla dide fornicacioun on me, and was wood on hir louyeris, on Assiriens neiyinge,
6 即那穿紫紅衣服的將領和公卿，全是英俊的青年，善於騎馬的騎士。
clothid with iacinct, princes, and magistratis, yonge men of coueytise, alle kniytis, and stieris of horsis.
7 於是她與所有的亞述青年行淫，並為她所戀愛的情人及其偶像所玷污。
And sche yaf hir fornicaciouns on hem, on alle the chosun sones of Assiriens; and in alle on whiche sche was wood, sche was defoulid in the vnclennessis of hem.
8 但她仍沒有放棄埃及的淫蕩，因為他們在她青年時曾同她共寢過，糟蹋過她的童身，在她身上發洩過淫慾。
Ferthermore and sche lefte not hir fornicaciouns, whiche sche hadde in Egipt; for whi and thei slepten with hir in the yongthe of hir, and thei braken the tetis of the tyme of mariage of hir, and thei scheden out her fornicacioun on hir.
9 為此我把她交在她情人手中，即她所熱戀的亞述人手中。
Therfor Y yaf hir in to the hondis of hir louyeris, in to the hondis of the sones of Assur, on whos letcherie sche was wood.
10 他們必要揭露她的私處，擄去她的子女，用刀把她殺死：如此，因所加於她身上的懲罰，她成了婦女的警戒。
Thei diskyueriden the schenschipe of hir; thei token awei the sones and the douytris of hir, and killiden hir with swerd; and the wymmen weren maad famouse, that is, sclaundrid, and thei diden domes in hir.
11 她妹妹敖曷里巴雖看見了這一切，但她的情慾更甚於她姐姐，她的淫亂也遠超過她姐姐的淫亂。
And whanne hir sistir Ooliba hadde seyn this, sche was wood in letcherie more than that sistre, and yaf vnschamefastli hir fornicacioun on the fornicacioun of hir sistre,
12 她也戀愛那些身為將領公卿的鄰邦亞述子民，他們都是衣著華美，善於騎馬的騎士，而且都是英俊的青年。
to the sones of Assiriens, to duykis and magistratis comynge to hir, that weren clothid with dyuerse cloth, to knyytis that weren borun on horsis, and to yonge men with noble schap, to alle men.
13 我也見了她受玷污，她們兩的行徑完全一樣。
And Y siy that o weie of both sistris was defoulid,
14 她的淫行有增無減。當她看見繪畫在牆上的人──用丹青繪畫的加色丁人像，
and sche encreesside hir fornycaciouns. And whanne sche hadde seyn men peyntid in the wal, the ymagis of Caldeis expressid with colouris,
15 腰間束著佩帶，頭上纏著突出的頭巾，都有軍官的模樣，相似巴比倫人，加色丁即是他們的出生地──
and gird on the reynes with kniytis girdlis, and cappis peyntid in the heedis of hem, the foormes of alle duykis, the licnesse of the sones of Babiloyne, and of the lond of Caldeis, in which thei weren borun;
16 她的眼一看見，就愛上了他們，遣派使者往加色丁，到他們那裏去。
sche was wood on hem bi coueitise of hir iyen, and sche sente messangeris to hem in to Caldee.
17 巴比倫人一來到她那裏，登上愛情的床，行了淫，玷污了她；她所玷污之後，遂即厭棄了他們。
And whanne the sones of Babiloyne weren comun to hir, to the bed of tetis, thei defouliden hir in her letcheries of virgyns; and sche was defoulid of hem, and the soule of hir was fillid of hem.
18 她既暴露了自己的淫行，揭開了自己的私處，因此我也厭棄她，如同厭棄她姐姐一樣。
Also sche made nakid hir fornicaciouns, and diskyuered hir schenschipe; and my soule yede awei fro hir, as my soule hadde go awei fro hir sistir.
19 她又想念年輕時在埃及行淫的日子，遂增強了她的淫慾。
For sche multiplied hir fornicaciouns, and hadde mynde on the daies of hir yongthe, in whiche sche dide fornicacioun in the lond of Egipt.
20 她仍戀愛體壯似驢，精足似馬的情人。
And sche was wood in letcherie on the liggyng bi of hem, whos fleischis ben as the fleischis of assis, and as the membris of horsis ben the membris of hem.
21 於是你渴望你年輕時的淫行，那時埃及人曾撫摸過你的胸懷，撫弄過你青春的乳房。
And thou visitidist the grete trespas of thi yongthe, whanne thi brestis weren maad low in Egipt, and the tetis of the tyme of thi mariage weren brokun.
22 因此，敖曷里巴! 吾主上主這樣說：看，我要鼓動你所厭棄的情人來攻擊你，引他們從四周來攻擊你，
Therfor, thou Ooliba, the Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal reise alle thi louyeris ayens thee, of whiche thi soule was fillid, and Y schal gadere hem ayens thee in cumpas;
23 即巴比倫人和一切加色丁人，培科得、芍亞和科亞，以及一切同他們聯合的亞述人，英俊的青年，一切長官和公卿、軍官和將領，一切善於騎馬的人。
the sones of Babiloyne, and alle Caldeis, noble and miyti men, and princes, alle the sones of Assiriens, and yonge men of noble foorme, duykis, and magistratis, alle princes of princes, and named stieris of horsis.
24 他們率領大軍、車輛和輜重車，大隊士卒，都佩著甲、盾和盔，由四周攻擊你。我讓他們處罰你，照他們的法律判決你。
And thei araied with chare and wheel schulen come on thee, the multitude of puplis schulen be armed with haburioun, and scheeld, and basynet, ayens thee on ech side; and Y schal yyue doom bifor hem, and thei schulen deme thee bi her domes.
25 如此，我要在你身上發洩我的妒火，讓他們以憤怒待你，割去你的鼻子和耳朵；其餘的都死於刀下；他們還要擄去你的子女，餘下的都為火燒死。
And Y schal sette my feruour in thee, which thei schulen vse with thee in woodnesse; thei schulen kitte awei thi nose and thin eeris, and thei schulen sle with swerd tho thingis that weren left; thei schulen take thi sones and thi douytris, and thi laste thing schal be deuourid bi fier.
26 他們還要剝光你的衣服，奪去你的裝飾品。
And thei schulen make thee nakid of thi clothis, and thei schulen take awei the vessels of thi glorie.
27 這樣，我才消除你心中的淫蕩，和由埃及地開始的淫行，使你再不敢舉目看他們，再不想念埃及。
And Y schal make thi greet trespasse to reste fro thee, and thi fornicacioun fro the lond of Egipt; and thou schalt not reise thin iyen to hem, and thou schalt no more haue mynde on Egipt.
28 因為吾主上主這樣說：看，我要將你交在你所惱恨的人手中，和你所厭惡的人手中。
For the Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal yyue thee in to the hondis of hem whiche thou hatist, `in to the hondis of hem of whiche thi soule was fillid,
29 他們要以惱恨對待你，奪去你的一切財物，赤身露體的拋棄你：因此你放蕩的私處，好色和淫亂都要暴露出來。
and thei schulen do with thee in hatrede. And thei schulen take awei alle thi trauels, and thei schulen leeue thee nakid, and ful of schenschipe; and the schenschipe of thi fornicaciouns schal be schewid. Thi greet
30 他們這樣對待你，是因為你同異民行了淫，受了他們偶像的玷污。
trespas and thi fornycaciouns han do these thingis to thee; for thou didist fornicacioun aftir hethene men, among whiche thou were defoulid in the idols of hem.
31 你既然走了你姐姐的路，我也要把她的苦爵放在你手中。
Thou yedist in the weie of thi sister, and Y schal yyue the cuppe of hir in thin hond.
32 吾主上主這樣說：你要喝你姐姐又深又大，容量又多的苦爵，你要成為恥笑和辱罵的對象，
The Lord God seith these thingis, Thou schalt drinke the cuppe of thi sistir, the depthe, and the broodnesse; thou that art most able to take, schalt be in to scornyng, and in to mouwyng.
33 你要酩酊大醉，滿懷憂愁。你姐姐撒瑪黎雅的爵是驚惶和毀滅的爵，
Thou schalt be fillid with drunkenesse and sorewe, with the cuppe of mourenyng and of heuynesse, with the cuppe of thi sister Samarie.
34 你必要喝，且要喝盡，連渣滓也要吞下；你還要抓破你自己的乳房：這是我所說的──吾主上主的斷語──
And thou schalt drynke it, and thou schalt drinke of til to the drastis, and thou schalt deuoure the relifs therof, and thou schalt to-reende thi brestis, for Y the Lord spak, seith the Lord God.
35 為此吾主上主這樣說：因為你忘了我，把我拋在背後，你也要親自承擔你好色和淫亂的懲罰。」
Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, For thou hast foryete me, and hast cast forth me bihynde thi bodi, bere thou also thi greet trespas and thi fornicaciouns.
36 上主對我說：「人子，你要審判敖曷拉和敖曷里巴，向她們說明她們的醜惡：
And the Lord God seide to me, and spak, Sone of man, whether thou demest Ooliba and Oolla, and tellist to hem the grete trespassis of hem?
37 她們犯了姦淫，手上帶著殺人的血，同偶像犯了姦淫，還焚化了她們給我所生的子女，祭祀偶像。
For thei diden auowtrie, and blood was in the hondis of hem, and thei diden fornicacioun with her idols; ferthermore and thei offriden to tho the sones whiche thei gendriden to me, for to be deuourid.
38 此外，她們還對我行了這事：在那一天她們還玷污了我的聖所，褻瀆了我的安息日，
But also thei diden this to me, thei defouleden my seyntuarie in that dai, and maden vnhooli my sabatis.
39 因為當她們給她們的偶像祭殺自己的子女時，同一天也進了我的聖所，加以褻瀆。的確，她們在我聖殿中這樣行了。
And whanne thei sacrifisiden her sones to her idols, and entriden in to my seyntuarie in that dai, that thei schulden defoule it, thei diden also these thingis in the myddis of myn hous.
40 並且他們還想從遠方召人來，便遣使者到他們那裏。看，他們果然來了，你就為了他們而沐浴，畫眼，佩戴珠寶。
Thei senten to men comyng fro fer, to whiche thei hadden sent messangeris. Therfor lo! thei camen, to whiche thou waischidist thee, and anoyntidist thin iyen with oynement of wymmen, and thou were ourned with wymmens atier.
41 以後你坐在華麗的床上，床前安放桌子，上面擺上本來獻給我的香和油。
Thou satist in a ful fair bed, and a boord was ourned bifor thee; thou settidist myn encense and myn oynement on it.
42 在她那裏可以聽到曠野來的群眾的歡樂嘈雜聲，他們在她們姐妹的腕上帶上鐲子，在她們頭上戴上花冠。
And a vois of multitude makynge ful out ioye was ther ynne; and in men that weren brouyt of the multitude of men, and camen fro desert, thei settiden bies in the hondis of hem, and faire corouns on the heedis of hem.
43 那時我就關於這老淫婦說：現今她當然又要去行淫。
And Y seide to hir, that was defoulid in auoutries, Now also this schal do fornycacioun in hir fornicacioun.
44 的確，人都到她們那裏，就如到娼妓那裏，也照樣到淫婦敖曷拉和敖曷里巴那裏。
And thei entriden to hir; as to a womman, an hoore, so thei entriden to Oolla and to Ooliba, cursid wymmen.
45 但正義的人必要裁判她們，如裁判姦婦和流血的人，因為她們是姦婦，血還在她們手上。
Therfor these men ben iust, these schulen deme thilke wymmen bi the doom of auoutressis, and bi the doom of hem that scheden out blood; for thei ben auoutressis, and blood is in the hondis of hem, and thei diden fornicacioun with her idols.
46 因為吾主上主這樣說：我要使許多人來攻擊她們，叫她們飽受虐待並遭受搶掠。
For the Lord God seith these thingis, Bringe thou multitudis to hem, and yyue thou hem in to noise, and in to raueyn;
47 這群人要用石頭砸死她們，用刀砍碎她們，屠殺她們的子女，火燒她們的房屋。
and be thei stoonyd with the stoonys of puplis, and be thei stikid togidere with the swerdis of hem. Thei schulen sle the sones and the douytris of hem, and thei schulen brenne with fier the housis of hem.
48 如此，我要把淫亂由此地剷除，使所有的婦女受到警戒，不敢效法你們的淫行。
And Y schal do awei greet trespas fro the lond; and alle wymmen schulen lerne, that thei do not aftir the greet trespas of hem.
49 我要使你們的淫行歸在你們身上。承擔敬拜偶像的罪罰：如此，你們纔承認我是上主。
And thei schulen yyue youre grete trespas on you; and ye schulen bere the synnes of youre idols, and ye schulen wite, that Y am the Lord God.
