以西結書 23
1 耶和華的話又臨到我說：
Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying,
2 「人子啊，有兩個女子，是一母所生，
“Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother.
3 她們在埃及行邪淫，在幼年時行邪淫。她們在那裏作處女的時候，有人擁抱她們的懷，撫摸她們的乳。
They played the prostitute in Egypt. They played the prostitute in their youth. Their breasts were fondled there, and their youthful nipples were caressed there.
4 她們的名字，姊姊名叫阿荷拉，妹妹名叫阿荷利巴。她們都歸於我，生了兒女。論到她們的名字，阿荷拉就是撒馬利亞，阿荷利巴就是耶路撒冷。
Their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister. They became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
5 「阿荷拉歸我之後行邪淫，貪戀所愛的人，就是她的鄰邦亞述人。
“Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine. She doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,
6 這些人都穿藍衣，作省長、副省長，都騎着馬，是可愛的少年人。
who were clothed with blue—governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
7 阿荷拉就與亞述人中最美的男子放縱淫行，她因所戀愛之人的一切偶像，玷污自己。
She gave herself as a prostitute to them, all of them the choicest men of Assyria. She defiled herself with the idols of whomever she lusted after.
8 自從在埃及的時候，她就沒有離開淫亂，因為她年幼作處女的時候，埃及人與她行淫，撫摸她的乳，縱慾與她行淫。
She hasn’t left her prostitution since leaving Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her. They caressed her youthful nipples and they poured out their prostitution on her.
9 因此，我將她交在她所愛的人手中，就是她所戀愛的亞述人手中。
“Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians on whom she doted.
10 他們就露了她的下體，擄掠她的兒女，用刀殺了她，使她在婦女中留下臭名，因他們向她施行審判。
These uncovered her nakedness. They took her sons and her daughters, and they killed her with the sword. She became a byword among women; for they executed judgments on her.
11 「她妹妹阿荷利巴雖然看見了，卻還貪戀，比她姊姊更醜；行淫亂比她姊姊更多。
“Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt in her lusting than she, and in her prostitution which was more depraved than the prostitution of her sister.
12 她貪戀鄰邦的亞述人，就是穿極華美的衣服，騎着馬的省長、副省長，都是可愛的少年人。
She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and rulers—her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.
13 我看見她被玷污了，她姊妹二人同行一路。
I saw that she was defiled. They both went the same way.
14 阿荷利巴又加增淫行，因她看見人像畫在牆上，就是用丹色所畫迦勒底人的像，
“She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with red,
15 腰間繫着帶子，頭上有下垂的裹頭巾，都是軍長的形狀，仿照巴比倫人的形像；他們的故土就是迦勒底。
dressed with belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like princes, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.
16 阿荷利巴一看見就貪戀他們，打發使者往迦勒底去見他們。
As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.
17 巴比倫人就來登她愛情的床，與她行淫玷污她。她被玷污，隨後心裏與他們生疏。
The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their prostitution. She was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.
18 這樣，她顯露淫行，又顯露下體；我心就與她生疏，像先前與她姊姊生疏一樣。
So she uncovered her prostitution and uncovered her nakedness. Then my soul was alienated from her, just like my soul was alienated from her sister.
19 她還加增她的淫行，追念她幼年在埃及地行邪淫的日子，
Yet she multiplied her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute in the land of Egypt.
20 貪戀情人身壯精足，如驢如馬。
She lusted after their lovers, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
21 這樣，你就想起你幼年的淫行。那時，埃及人擁抱你的懷，撫摸你的乳。」
Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the caressing of your nipples by the Egyptians because of your youthful breasts.
22 阿荷利巴啊，主耶和華如此說：「我必激動你先愛而後生疏的人來攻擊你。我必使他們來，在你四圍攻擊你。
“Therefore, Oholibah, the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them against you on every side:
23 所來的就是巴比倫人、迦勒底的眾人、比割人、書亞人、哥亞人，同着他們的還有亞述眾人，乃是作省長、副省長、作軍長有名聲的，都騎着馬，是可愛的少年人。
the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa, Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; all of them desirable young men, governors and rulers, princes and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.
24 他們必帶兵器、戰車、輜重車，率領大眾來攻擊你。他們要拿大小盾牌，頂盔擺陣，在你四圍攻擊你。我要將審判的事交給他們，他們必按着自己的條例審判你。
They will come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples. They will set themselves against you with buckler, shield, and helmet all around. I will commit the judgment to them, and they will judge you according to their judgments.
25 我必以忌恨攻擊你；他們必以忿怒辦你。他們必割去你的鼻子和耳朵；你遺留的人必倒在刀下。他們必擄去你的兒女；你所遺留的必被火焚燒。
I will set my jealousy against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will take away your nose and your ears. Your remnant will fall by the sword. They will take your sons and your daughters; and the rest of you will be devoured by the fire.
26 他們必剝去你的衣服，奪取你華美的寶器。
They will also strip you of your clothes and take away your beautiful jewels.
27 這樣，我必使你的淫行和你從埃及地染來的淫亂止息了，使你不再仰望亞述，也不再追念埃及。
Thus I will make your lewdness to cease from you, and remove your prostitution from the land of Egypt, so that you will not lift up your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.’
28 主耶和華如此說：我必將你交在你所恨惡的人手中，就是你心與他生疏的人手中。
“For the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them from whom your soul is alienated.
29 他們必以恨惡辦你，奪取你一切勞碌得來的，留下你赤身露體。你淫亂的下體，連你的淫行，帶你的淫亂，都被顯露。
They will deal with you in hatred, and will take away all your labor, and will leave you naked and bare. The nakedness of your prostitution will be uncovered, both your lewdness and your prostitution.
30 人必向你行這些事；因為你隨從外邦人行邪淫，被他們的偶像玷污了。
These things will be done to you because you have played the prostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted with their idols.
31 你走了你姊姊所走的路，所以我必將她的杯交在你手中。」
You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand.’
32 主耶和華如此說： 你必喝你姊姊所喝的杯； 那杯又深又廣，盛得甚多， 使你被人嗤笑譏刺。
“The Lord Yahweh says: ‘You will drink of your sister’s cup, which is deep and large. You will be ridiculed and held in derision. It contains much.
33 你必酩酊大醉，滿有愁苦， 喝乾你姊姊撒馬利亞的杯， 就是令人驚駭淒涼的杯。
You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria.
34 你必喝這杯，以致喝盡。 杯破又齦杯片， 撕裂自己的乳； 因為這事我曾說過。 這是主耶和華說的。
You will even drink it and drain it out. You will gnaw the broken pieces of it, and will tear your breasts; for I have spoken it,’ says the Lord Yahweh.
35 主耶和華如此說：「因你忘記我，將我丟在背後，所以你要擔當你淫行和淫亂的報應。」
“Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Because you have forgotten me and cast me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and your prostitution.’”
36 耶和華又對我說：「人子啊，你要審問阿荷拉與阿荷利巴嗎？當指出她們所行可憎的事。
Yahweh said moreover to me: “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.
37 她們行淫，手中有殺人的血，又與偶像行淫，並使她們為我所生的兒女經火燒給偶像。
For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols. They have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire to them to be devoured.
38 此外，她們還有向我所行的，就是同日玷污我的聖所，干犯我的安息日。
Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
39 她們殺了兒女獻與偶像，當天又入我的聖所，將聖所褻瀆了。她們在我殿中所行的乃是如此。
For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, they have done this in the middle of my house.
40 「況且你們二婦打發使者去請遠方人。使者到他們那裏，他們就來了。你們為他們沐浴己身，粉飾眼目，佩戴妝飾，
“Furthermore you sisters have sent for men who come from far away, to whom a messenger was sent, and behold, they came; for whom you washed yourself, painted your eyes, decorated yourself with ornaments,
41 坐在華美的床上，前面擺設桌案，將我的香料膏油擺在其上。
and sat on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you set my incense and my oil.
42 在那裏有群眾安逸歡樂的聲音，並有粗俗的人和酒徒從曠野同來，把鐲子戴在二婦的手上，把華冠戴在她們的頭上。
“The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her. With men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on their hands, and beautiful crowns on their heads.
43 「我論這行淫衰老的婦人說：現在人還要與她行淫，她也要與人行淫。
Then I said of her who was old in adulteries, ‘Now they will play the prostitute with her, and she with them.’
44 人與阿荷拉，並阿荷利巴二淫婦苟合，好像與妓女苟合。
They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute. So they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.
45 必有義人，照審判淫婦和流人血的婦人之例，審判她們；因為她們是淫婦，手中有殺人的血。」
Righteous men will judge them with the judgment of adulteresses and with the judgment of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
46 主耶和華如此說：「我必使多人來攻擊她們，使她們拋來拋去，被人搶奪。
“For the Lord Yahweh says: ‘I will bring up a mob against them, and will give them to be tossed back and forth and robbed.
47 這些人必用石頭打死她們，用刀劍殺害她們，又殺戮她們的兒女，用火焚燒她們的房屋。
The company will stone them with stones and dispatch them with their swords. They will kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
48 這樣，我必使淫行從境內止息，好叫一切婦人都受警戒，不效法你們的淫行。
“‘Thus I will cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to be lewd like you.
49 人必照着你們的淫行報應你們；你們要擔當拜偶像的罪，就知道我是主耶和華。」
They will recompense your lewdness on you, and you will bear the sins of your idols. Then you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.’”
