< 以西结书 16 >
Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Son of man, testify to Jerusalem [of] her iniquities;
3 说主耶和华对耶路撒冷如此说:你根本,你出世,是在迦南地;你父亲是亚摩利人,你母亲是赫人。
and you shall say, Thus says the Lord to Jerusalem; Your root and your birth are of the land of Chanaan: your father was an Amorite, and your mother a Chettite.
4 论到你出世的景况,在你初生的日子没有为你断脐带,也没有用水洗你,使你洁净,丝毫没有撒盐在你身上,也没有用布裹你。
And [as for] your birth in the day wherein you were born, you did not bind your breasts, and you were not washed in water, neither was you salted with salt, neither was you swathed in swaddling-bands.
5 谁的眼也不可怜你,为你做一件这样的事怜恤你;但你初生的日子扔在田野,是因你被厌恶。
Nor did mine eye pity you, to do for you one of all these things, to feel at all for you; but you were cast out on the face of the field, because of the deformity of your person, in the day wherein you were born.
6 “我从你旁边经过,见你滚在血中,就对你说:你虽在血中,仍可存活;你虽在血中,仍可存活。
And I passed by to you, and saw you polluted in your blood; and I said to you, [Let there be] life out of your blood:
7 我使你生长好像田间所长的,你就渐渐长大,以致极其俊美,两乳成形,头发长成,你却仍然赤身露体。
increase; I have made you as the springing grass of the field. So you did increase and grow, and did enter into great cities: your breasts were set, and your hair grew, whereas you were naked and bare.
8 “我从你旁边经过,看见你的时候正动爱情,便用衣襟搭在你身上,遮盖你的赤体;又向你起誓,与你结盟,你就归于我。这是主耶和华说的。
And I passed by you and saw you, and, behold, [it was] your time and a time of resting; and I spread my wings over you, and covered your shame, and swear to you: and I entered into covenant with you, says the Lord, and you became mine.
And I washed you in water, and washed your blood from you, and anointed you with oil.
10 我也使你身穿绣花衣服,脚穿海狗皮鞋,并用细麻布给你束腰,用丝绸为衣披在你身上,
And I clothed you with embroidered [garments], and clothed you beneath with purple, and girded you with fine linen, and clothed you with silk,
11 又用妆饰打扮你,将镯子戴在你手上,将金链戴在你项上。
and decked you also with ornaments, and put bracelets on your hands, and a necklace on your neck.
12 我也将环子戴在你鼻子上,将耳环戴在你耳朵上,将华冠戴在你头上。
And I put a pendant on your nostril, and rings in your ears, and a crown of glory on your head.
13 这样,你就有金银的妆饰,穿的是细麻衣和丝绸,并绣花衣;吃的是细面、蜂蜜,并油。你也极其美貌,发达到王后的尊荣。
So you were adorned with gold and silver; and your raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and variegated work: you did eat fine flour, and oil, and honey, and did become extremely beautiful.
14 你美貌的名声传在列邦中,你十分美貌,是因我加在你身上的威荣。这是主耶和华说的。
And your name went forth amongst the nations for your beauty: because it was perfected with elegance, [and] in the comeliness which I put upon you, says the Lord.
15 “只是你仗着自己的美貌,又因你的名声就行邪淫。你纵情淫乱,使过路的任意而行。
You did trust in your beauty, and did go a-whoring because of your renown, and did pour out your fornication on every passer by.
16 你用衣服为自己在高处结彩,在其上行邪淫。这样的事将来必没有,也必不再行了。
And you did take of your garments, and made to yourself idols of needlework, and did go a-whoring after them; therefore you shall never come in, nor shall [the like] take place.
17 你又将我所给你那华美的金银、宝器为自己制造人像,与他行邪淫;
And you took your fair ornaments of my gold and of my silver, of what I gave you, and you made to yourself male images, and you did commit whoredom with them.
18 又用你的绣花衣服给他披上,并将我的膏油和香料摆在他跟前;
And you did take your variegated apparel and did clothe them, and you did set before them mine oil and mine incense.
19 又将我赐给你的食物,就是我赐给你吃的细面、油,和蜂蜜,都摆在他跟前为馨香的供物。这是主耶和华说的。
And [you took] my bread which I gave you, ([yes] I fed you with fine flour and oil and honey) and did set them before them for a sweet smelling savour: yes, it was so, says the Lord.
And you took your sons and your daughters, whom you bore, and did sacrifice [these] to them to be destroyed. You did go a-whoring as [if that were] little,
21 你行淫乱岂是小事,竟将我的儿女杀了,使他们经火归与他吗?
and did kill your children, and gave them up in offering them to them for an expiation.
22 你行这一切可憎和淫乱的事,并未追念你幼年赤身露体滚在血中的日子。”
This is beyond all your fornication, and you did not remember your infancy, when you were naked and bare, [and] did live [though] defiled in your blood.
23 “你行这一切恶事之后(主耶和华说:你有祸了!有祸了!)
And it came to pass after all your wickedness, says the Lord,
that you did build yourself a house of fornication, and did make yourself a public place in every street;
25 你在一切市口上建造高台,使你的美貌变为可憎的,又与一切过路的多行淫乱。
and on the head of every way you did set up your fornications, and did defile your beauty, and did open your feet to every passer by, and did multiply your fornication.
26 你也和你邻邦放纵情欲的埃及人行淫,加增你的淫乱,惹我发怒。
And you did go a-whoring after the children of Egypt your neighbours, great of flesh; and did go a-whoring, often to provoke me to anger.
27 因此我伸手攻击你,减少你应用的粮食,又将你交给恨你的非利士众女,使她们任意待你。她们见你的淫行,为你羞耻。
And if I stretch out my hand against you, then will I abolish your statutes, and deliver [you] up to the wills of them that hate you, [even to] the daughters of the Philistines that turned you aside from the way wherein you sinned.
28 你因贪色无厌,又与亚述人行淫,与他们行淫之后,仍不满意,
And you did go a-whoring to the daughters of Assur, and not even thus was you satisfied; yes, you did go a-whoring, and was not satisfied.
29 并且多行淫乱,直到那贸易之地,就是迦勒底,你仍不满意。
And you did multiply your covenants with the land of the Chaldeans; and not even with these was you satisfied.
30 “主耶和华说:你行这一切事,都是不知羞耻妓女所行的,可见你的心是何等懦弱!
Why should I make a covenant with your daughter, says the Lord, while you do all these things, the works of a harlot? and you have gone a-whoring in a threefold degree with your daughters.
31 因你在一切市口上建造圆顶花楼,在各街上做了高台,你却藐视赏赐,不像妓女。
You have built a house of harlotry in every top of a way, and have set up your high place in every street; and you did become as a harlot gathering hires.
An adulteress resembles you, taking rewards of her husband.
33 凡妓女是得人赠送,你反倒赠送你所爱的人,贿赂他们从四围来与你行淫。
She has even given rewards to all that went a-whoring after her, and you have given rewards to all your lovers, yes, you did load them with rewards, that they should come to you from every side for your fornication.
34 你行淫与别的妇女相反,因为不是人从你行淫;你既赠送人,人并不赠送你;所以你与别的妇女相反。”
And there has happened in you perverseness in your fornication beyond [other] women, and they have committed fornication with you, in that you give hires over and above, and hires were not given to you; and [thus] perverseness happened in you.
Therefore, harlot, hear the word of the Lord:
36 主耶和华如此说:因你的污秽倾泄了,你与你所爱的行淫露出下体,又因你拜一切可憎的偶像,流儿女的血献给他,
Thus says the Lord, Because you have poured forth your money, therefore your shame shall be discovered in your harlotry with your lovers, and [with] regard to all the imaginations of your iniquities, and for the blood of your children which you have given to them.
37 我就要将你一切相欢相爱的和你一切所恨的都聚集来,从四围攻击你;又将你的下体露出,使他们看尽了。
Therefore, behold, I [will] gather all your lovers with whom you have consorted, and all whom you have loved, with all whom you did hate; and I will gather them against you round about, and will expose your wickedness to them, and they shall see all your shame.
38 我也要审判你,好像官长审判淫妇和流人血的妇女一样。我因忿怒忌恨,使流血的罪归到你身上。
And I will be avenged on you with the vengeance of an adulteress, and I will bring upon you blood of fury and jealousy.
39 我又要将你交在他们手中;他们必拆毁你的圆顶花楼,毁坏你的高台,剥去你的衣服,夺取你的华美宝器,留下你赤身露体。
And I will deliver you into their hands, and they shall break down your house of harlotry, and destroy your high place; and they shall strip you of your garments, and shall take your proud ornaments, and leave you naked and bare.
40 他们也必带多人来攻击你,用石头打死你,用刀剑刺透你,
And they shall bring multitudes upon you, and they shall stone you with stones, and pierce you with their swords.
41 用火焚烧你的房屋,在许多妇人眼前向你施行审判。我必使你不再行淫,也不再赠送与人。
And they shall burn your houses with fire, and shall execute vengeance on you in the sight of many women: and I will turn you back from harlotry, and I will no more give [you] rewards.
42 这样,我就止息向你发的忿怒,我的忌恨也要离开你,我要安静不再恼怒。
So will I slacken my fury against you, and my jealousy shall be removed from you, and I will rest, and be no more careful [for you].
43 因你不追念你幼年的日子,在这一切的事上向我发烈怒,所以我必照你所行的报应在你头上,你就不再贪淫,行那一切可憎的事。这是主耶和华说的。”
Because you did not remember your infancy, and you did grieve me in all these things; therefore, behold, I have recompensed your ways upon your head, says the Lord: for thus have you wrought ungodliness above all your [other] iniquities.
44 “凡说俗语的必用俗语攻击你,说:‘母亲怎样,女儿也怎样。’
These are all the things they have spoken against you in a proverb, saying,
45 你正是你母亲的女儿,厌弃丈夫和儿女;你正是你姊妹的姊妹,厌弃丈夫和儿女。你母亲是赫人,你父亲是亚摩利人。
As is the mother, so is your mother's daughter: you are she that has rejected her husband and her children; and the sisters of your sisters have rejected their husbands and their children: your mother was a Chettite, and [your] father an Amorite.
46 你的姊姊是撒马利亚,她和她的众女住在你左边;你的妹妹是所多玛,她和她的众女住在你右边。
Your elder sister who dwells on your left hand is Samaria, she and her daughters: and your younger sister, that dwells on the right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
47 你没有效法她们的行为,也没有照她们可憎的事去做,你以那为小事,你一切所行的倒比她们更坏。
Yet notwithstanding you have not walked in their ways, neither have you done according to their iniquities within a little, but you have exceeded them in all your ways.
48 主耶和华说:我指着我的永生起誓,你妹妹所多玛与她的众女尚未行你和你众女所行的事。
[As] I live, says the Lord, this Sodom and her daughters have not done as you and your daughters have done.
49 看哪,你妹妹所多玛的罪孽是这样:她和她的众女都心骄气傲,粮食饱足,大享安逸,并没有扶助困苦和穷乏人的手。
Moreover this was the sin of your sister Sodom, pride: she and her daughters lived in pleasure, in fullness of bread [and] in abundance: this belonged to her and her daughters, and they helped not the hand of the poor and needy.
50 她们狂傲,在我面前行可憎的事,我看见便将她们除掉。
And they boasted, and wrought iniquities before me: so I cut them off as I saw [fit].
51 撒马利亚没有犯你一半的罪,你行可憎的事比她更多,使你的姊妹因你所行一切可憎的事,倒显为义。
Also Samaria has not sinned according to half of your sins; but you have multiplied your iniquities beyond them, and you have justified your sisters in all your iniquities which you have committed.
52 你既断定你姊妹为义,就要担当自己的羞辱;因你所犯的罪比她们更为可憎,她们就比你更显为义;你既使你的姊妹显为义,你就要抱愧担当自己的羞辱。”
You therefore bear your punishment, for that you have corrupted your sisters by your sins which you have committed beyond them; and you have made them [appear] more righteous than yourself: you therefore be ashamed, and bear your dishonour, in that you have justified your sisters.
53 “我必叫她们被掳的归回,就是叫所多玛和她的众女,撒马利亚和她的众女,并你们中间被掳的,都要归回,
And I will turn their captivity, [even] the captivity of Sodom and her daughters; and I will turn the captivity of Samaria and her daughters; and I will turn your captivity in the midst of them:
54 好使你担当自己的羞辱,并因你一切所行的使她们得安慰,你就抱愧。
that you may bear your punishment, and be dishonoured for all that you have done in provoking me to anger.
55 你的妹妹所多玛和她的众女必归回原位;撒马利亚和她的众女,你和你的众女,也必归回原位。
And your sister Sodom and her daughters shall be restored as they were at the beginning, and you and your daughters shall be restored as you were at the beginning.
56 在你骄傲的日子,你的恶行没有显露以先,你的口就不提你的妹妹所多玛。那受了凌辱的亚兰众女和亚兰四围非利士的众女都恨恶你,藐视你。
And surely your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the days of your pride:
before your wickedness was discovered, even now you are the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all that are round about her, [even] of the daughters of the Philistines that compass you round about.
58 耶和华说:你贪淫和可憎的事,你已经担当了。”
[As for] your ungodliness and your iniquities, you have borne them, says the Lord.
59 “主耶和华如此说:你这轻看誓言、背弃盟约的,我必照你所行的待你。
Thus says the Lord; I will even do to you as you have done, as you have dealt shamefully in these things to transgress my covenant.
60 然而我要追念在你幼年时与你所立的约,也要与你立定永约。
And I will remember my covenant [made] with you in the days of your infancy, and I will establish to you an everlasting covenant.
61 你接待你姊姊和你妹妹的时候,你要追念你所行的,自觉惭愧;并且我要将她们赐你为女儿,却不是按着前约。
Then you shall remember your way, and shall be utterly dishonoured when you receive your elder sisters with your younger ones: and I will give them to you for building up, but not by your covenant.
62 我要坚定与你所立的约(你就知道我是耶和华),
And I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am the Lord:
63 好使你在我赦免你一切所行的时候,心里追念,自觉抱愧,又因你的羞辱就不再开口。这是主耶和华说的。”
that you may remember, and be ashamed, and may no more be able to open your mouth for your shame, when I am reconciled to you for all that you have done, says the Lord.
