Ezekiel 23
1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
耶和華的話又臨到我說：
2 “Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother,
「人子啊，有兩個女子，是一母所生，
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。
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，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。
5 Oholah prostituted herself while she was still Mine. She lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians—warriors
「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。
6 clothed in blue, governors and commanders, all desirable young men, horsemen mounted on steeds.
這些人都穿藍衣，作省長、副省長，都騎着馬，是可愛的少年人。
7 She offered sexual favors to all the elite of Assyria. She defiled herself with all the idols of those for whom she lusted.
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。
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.
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。
9 Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, the Assyrians for whom she lusted.
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。
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。
11 Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet in her lust and prostitution she was more depraved than her sister.
「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。
12 She too lusted after the Assyrians—governors and commanders, warriors dressed in splendor, horsemen riding on steeds, all desirable young men.
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。
13 And I saw that she too had defiled herself; both of them had taken the same path.
我看見她被玷污了，她姊妹二人同行一路。
14 But Oholibah carried her prostitution even further. She saw the men portrayed on the wall, images of the Chaldeans, engraved in vermilion,
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，
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。
16 At the sight of them, she lusted for them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
阿荷利巴一看見就貪戀他們，打發使者往迦勒底去見他們。
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。
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.
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。
19 Yet she multiplied her promiscuity, remembering the days of her youth, when she had prostituted herself in the land of Egypt
她還加增她的淫行，追念她幼年在埃及地行邪淫的日子，
20 and lusted after their lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of stallions.
貪戀情人身壯精足，如驢如馬。
21 So you revisited the indecency of your youth, when the Egyptians caressed your bosom and pressed your young breasts.
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。」
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—
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。
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.
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。
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。
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.
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。
26 They will strip off your clothes and take your fine jewelry.
他們必剝去你的衣服，奪取你華美的寶器。
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。
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.
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。
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。
30 have brought these things upon you, because you have prostituted yourself with the nations and defiled yourself with their idols.
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。
31 Because you have followed the path of your sister, I will put her cup into your hand.’
你走了你姊姊所走的路，所以我必將她的杯交在你手中。」
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.
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。
33 You will be filled with drunkenness and grief, with a cup of devastation and desolation, the cup of your sister Samaria.
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。
34 You will drink it and drain it; you will dash it to pieces, and tear your breasts. For I have spoken,’
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。
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.’”
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。」
36 Then the LORD said to me: “Son of man, will you pass judgment against Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.
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。
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。
38 They have also done this to Me: On that very same day, they defiled My sanctuary and profaned My Sabbaths.
此外，她們還有向我所行的，就是同日玷污我的聖所，干犯我的安息日。
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.
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。
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.
「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，
41 You sat on a couch of luxury with a table spread before it, on which you had set My incense and My oil,
坐在華美的床上，前面擺設桌案，將我的香料膏油擺在其上。
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。
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!’
「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。
44 And they slept with her as with a prostitute; they slept with Oholah and Oholibah, those lewd women.
人與阿荷拉，並阿荷利巴二淫婦苟合，好像與妓女苟合。
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.
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。」
46 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Bring a mob against them and consign them to terror and plunder.
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。
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。
48 So I will put an end to indecency in the land, and all the women will be admonished not to imitate your behavior.
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。
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.’”
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。」
