Ezekiel 23
1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
2 “Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother,
人子，有兩個女人，同是一母的女兒，
3 and they played in Egypt, prostituting themselves from their youth. Their breasts were fondled there, and their virgin bosoms caressed.
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。
4 The older was named Oholah, and her sister was named Oholibah. They became Mine and gave birth to sons and daughters. As for their identities, Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.
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。
5 Oholah prostituted herself while she was still Mine. She lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians—warriors
敖曷拉屬我時，已行邪淫，戀愛了她的情人，鄰邦亞述人，
6 clothed in blue, governors and commanders, all desirable young men, horsemen mounted on steeds.
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。
7 She offered sexual favors to all the elite of Assyria. She defiled herself with all the idols of those for whom she lusted.
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。
8 She did not give up the prostitution she began in Egypt, when men slept with her in her youth, caressed her virgin bosom, and poured out their lust upon her.
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。
9 Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, the Assyrians for whom she lusted.
為此我把她交在她情人手中，即她所熱戀的亞述人手中。
10 They exposed her nakedness, seized her sons and daughters, and put her to the sword. Thus she became a byword among women, and they executed judgment against her.
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。
11 Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet in her lust and prostitution she was more depraved than her sister.
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。
12 She too lusted after the Assyrians—governors and commanders, warriors dressed in splendor, horsemen riding on steeds, all desirable young men.
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。
13 And I saw that she too had defiled herself; both of them had taken the same path.
我也見了她受玷污，她們兩的行徑完全一樣。
14 But Oholibah carried her prostitution even further. She saw the men portrayed on the wall, images of the Chaldeans, engraved in vermilion,
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，
15 wearing belts on their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked like officers of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.
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──
16 At the sight of them, she lusted for them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
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。
17 Then the Babylonians came to her, to the bed of love, and in their lust they defiled her. But after she had been defiled by them, she turned away in disgust.
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。
18 When Oholibah openly prostituted herself and exposed her nakedness, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister.
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。
19 Yet she multiplied her promiscuity, remembering the days of her youth, when she had prostituted herself in the land of Egypt
她又想念年輕時在埃及行淫的日子，遂增強了她的淫慾。
20 and lusted after their lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of stallions.
她仍戀愛體壯似驢，精足似馬的情人。
21 So you revisited the indecency of your youth, when the Egyptians caressed your bosom and pressed your young breasts.
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。
22 Therefore, Oholibah, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will incite your lovers against you, those from whom you turned away in disgust. And I will bring them against you from every side—
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，
23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, the men of Pekod, Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them—all desirable young men, governors and commanders, officers and men of renown, mounted on horses.
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。
24 They will come against you with a host of peoples, with weapons, chariots, and wagons. They will array themselves against you on every side with buckler and shield and helmet. I will delegate judgment to them, and they will punish you according to their own standards.
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。
25 And I will set My jealous rage against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will cut off your noses and ears, and your survivors will fall by the sword. They will seize your sons and daughters, and your remnant will be consumed by fire.
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。
26 They will strip off your clothes and take your fine jewelry.
他們還要剝光你的衣服，奪去你的裝飾品。
27 So I will put an end to your indecency and prostitution, which began in the land of Egypt, and you will not lift your eyes to them or remember Egypt anymore.’
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。
28 For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Surely I will deliver you into the hands of those you hate, from whom you turned away in disgust.
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。
29 They will treat you with hatred, take all for which you have worked, and leave you naked and bare, so that the shame of your prostitution will be exposed. Your indecency and promiscuity
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。
30 have brought these things upon you, because you have prostituted yourself with the nations and defiled yourself with their idols.
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。
31 Because you have followed the path of your sister, I will put her cup into your hand.’
你既然走了你姐姐的路，我也要把她的苦爵放在你手中。
32 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You will drink your sister’s cup, a cup deep and wide. It will bring scorn and derision, for it holds so much.
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，
33 You will be filled with drunkenness and grief, with a cup of devastation and desolation, the cup of your sister Samaria.
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，
34 You will drink it and drain it; you will dash it to pieces, and tear your breasts. For I have spoken,’
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──
35 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have forgotten Me and have cast Me behind your back, you must bear the consequences of your indecency and prostitution.’”
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。」
36 Then the LORD said to me: “Son of man, will you pass judgment against Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.
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：
37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols. They have even sacrificed their children, whom they bore to Me, in the fire as food for their idols.
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。
38 They have also done this to Me: On that very same day, they defiled My sanctuary and profaned My Sabbaths.
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，
39 On the very day they slaughtered their children for their idols, they entered My sanctuary to profane it. Yes, they did this inside My house.
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。
40 Furthermore, you sisters sent messengers for men who came from afar; and behold, when they arrived, you bathed for them, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with jewelry.
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。
41 You sat on a couch of luxury with a table spread before it, on which you had set My incense and My oil,
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。
42 accompanied by the sound of a carefree crowd. Drunkards were brought in from the desert along with men from the rabble, who put bracelets on your wrists and beautiful crowns on your head.
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。
43 Then I said of her who had grown old in adulteries: ‘Now let them use her as a prostitute, for that is all she is!’
那時我就關於這老淫婦說：現今她當然又要去行淫。
44 And they slept with her as with a prostitute; they slept with Oholah and Oholibah, those lewd women.
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。
45 But righteous men will sentence them to the punishment of those who commit adultery and bloodshed, because they are adulteresses with blood on their hands.
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。
46 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Bring a mob against them and consign them to terror and plunder.
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。
47 The mob will stone them and cut them down with their swords. They will kill their sons and daughters and burn down their houses.
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。
48 So I will put an end to indecency in the land, and all the women will be admonished not to imitate your behavior.
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。
49 They will repay you for your indecency, and you will bear the consequences of your sins of idolatry. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’”
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。
