< Ezekiel 23 >
1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:
2 Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother.
“人子啊,有两个女子,是一母所生,
3 And they committed whoredom in Egypt; they committed whoredom in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there were handled the teats of their virginity.
她们在埃及行邪淫,在幼年时行邪淫。她们在那里作处女的时候,有人拥抱她们的怀,抚摸她们的乳。
4 And their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister; and they were mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names: Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
她们的名字,姊姊名叫阿荷拉,妹妹名叫阿荷利巴。她们都归于我,生了儿女。论到她们的名字,阿荷拉就是撒马利亚,阿荷利巴就是耶路撒冷。
5 And Oholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she lusted after her lovers, after the Assyrians [her] neighbours,
“阿荷拉归我之后行邪淫,贪恋所爱的人,就是她的邻邦亚述人。
6 clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them attractive young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
这些人都穿蓝衣,作省长、副省长,都骑着马,是可爱的少年人。
7 And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, all of them the choice of the children of Asshur; and with all after whom she lusted, with all their idols she defiled herself.
阿荷拉就与亚述人中最美的男子放纵淫行,她因所恋爱之人的一切偶像,玷污自己。
8 Neither left she her whoredoms [brought] from Egypt; for in her youth they had lain with her, and had handled the breasts of her virginity, and poured their fornication upon her.
自从在埃及的时候,她就没有离开淫乱,因为她年幼作处女的时候,埃及人与她行淫,抚摸她的乳,纵欲与她行淫。
9 Therefore I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the children of Asshur, after whom she lusted.
因此,我将她交在她所爱的人手中,就是她所恋爱的亚述人手中。
10 These discovered her nakedness, they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword; and she became a name among women; and they executed judgment upon her.
他们就露了她的下体,掳掠她的儿女,用刀杀了她,使她在妇女中留下臭名,因他们向她施行审判。
11 And her sister Oholibah saw [this], and was more corrupt in her passion than she, and in her fornications more than the whoredoms of her sister.
“她妹妹阿荷利巴虽然看见了,却还贪恋,比她姊姊更丑;行淫乱比她姊姊更多。
12 She lusted after the children of Asshur [her] neighbours, governors and rulers, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them attractive young men.
她贪恋邻邦的亚述人,就是穿极华美的衣服,骑着马的省长、副省长,都是可爱的少年人。
13 And I saw that she was defiled: both took one way.
我看见她被玷污了,她姊妹二人同行一路。
14 And she increased her fornications; for she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,
阿荷利巴又加增淫行,因她看见人像画在墙上,就是用丹色所画迦勒底人的像,
15 girded with girdles upon their loins, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them captains in appearance, [after] the likeness of the children of Babylon, of Chaldea, the land of their nativity.
腰间系着带子,头上有下垂的裹头巾,都是军长的形状,仿照巴比伦人的形象;他们的故土就是迦勒底。
16 And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she lusted after them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.
阿荷利巴一看见就贪恋他们,打发使者往迦勒底去见他们。
17 And the children of Babylon came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their fornication; she too defiled herself with them, and her soul was alienated from them.
巴比伦人就来登她爱情的床,与她行淫玷污她。她被玷污,随后心里与他们生疏。
18 And she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness; and my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister.
这样,她显露淫行,又显露下体;我心就与她生疏,像先前与她姊姊生疏一样。
19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she played the harlot in the land of Egypt;
她还加增她的淫行,追念她幼年在埃及地行邪淫的日子,
20 and she lusted after their paramours, whose flesh is [as] the flesh of asses, and whose issue is [as] the issue of horses.
贪恋情人身壮精足,如驴如马。
21 And thou didst look back to the lewdness of thy youth, in the handling of thy teats by the Egyptians, for the breasts of thy youth.
这样,你就想起你幼年的淫行。那时,埃及人拥抱你的怀,抚摸你的乳。”
22 Therefore, Oholibah, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side.
阿荷利巴啊,主耶和华如此说:“我必激动你先爱而后生疏的人来攻击你。我必使他们来,在你四围攻击你。
23 The children of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, all the children of Asshur with them; all of them attractive young men, governors and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.
所来的就是巴比伦人、迦勒底的众人、比割人、书亚人、哥亚人,同着他们的还有亚述众人,乃是作省长、副省长、作军长有名声的,都骑着马,是可爱的少年人。
24 And they shall come against thee [with] armour, chariots and wheels, and with an assemblage of peoples; they shall set themselves against thee [with] target, and shield, and helmet round about; and I will put judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.
他们必带兵器、战车、辎重车,率领大众来攻击你。他们要拿大小盾牌,顶盔摆阵,在你四围攻击你。我要将审判的事交给他们,他们必按着自己的条例审判你。
25 And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall cut off thy nose and thine ears, and thy remnant shall fall by the sword; they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.
我必以忌恨攻击你;他们必以忿怒办你。他们必割去你的鼻子和耳朵;你遗留的人必倒在刀下。他们必掳去你的儿女;你所遗留的必被火焚烧。
26 They shall also strip the of thy garments, and take away thy fair jewels.
他们必剥去你的衣服,夺取你华美的宝器。
27 And I will make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom [brought] from the land of Egypt; and thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.
这样,我必使你的淫行和你从埃及地染来的淫乱止息了,使你不再仰望亚述,也不再追念埃及。
28 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will give thee over into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy soul is alienated.
主耶和华如此说:我必将你交在你所恨恶的人手中,就是你心与他生疏的人手中。
29 And they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare; so that the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy fornications.
他们必以恨恶办你,夺取你一切劳碌得来的,留下你赤身露体。你淫乱的下体,连你的淫行,带你的淫乱,都被显露。
30 These things shall be done unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the nations, because thou hast defiled thyself with their idols.
人必向你行这些事;因为你随从外邦人行邪淫,被他们的偶像玷污了。
31 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; and I have given her cup into thy hand.
你走了你姊姊所走的路,所以我必将她的杯交在你手中。”
32 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large; thou shalt be for a laughing-stock and a derision, [for] it containeth much.
主耶和华如此说: 你必喝你姊姊所喝的杯; 那杯又深又广,盛得甚多, 使你被人嗤笑讥刺。
33 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, the cup of thy sister Samaria;
你必酩酊大醉,满有愁苦, 喝干你姊姊撒马利亚的杯, 就是令人惊骇凄凉的杯。
34 thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt gnaw the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord Jehovah.
你必喝这杯,以致喝尽。 杯破又啃杯片, 撕裂自己的乳; 因为这事我曾说过。 这是主耶和华说的。
35 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy fornications.
主耶和华如此说:“因你忘记我,将我丢在背后,所以你要担当你淫行和淫乱的报应。”
36 And Jehovah said unto me, Son of man, wilt thou judge Oholah and Oholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations.
耶和华又对我说:“人子啊,你要审问阿荷拉与阿荷利巴吗?当指出她们所行可憎的事。
37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands; and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also passed over unto them their children, whom they bore unto me, to be devoured.
她们行淫,手中有杀人的血,又与偶像行淫,并使她们为我所生的儿女经火烧给偶像。
38 Moreover this have they done unto me: in the same day have they defiled my sanctuary and profaned my sabbaths.
此外,她们还有向我所行的,就是同日玷污我的圣所,干犯我的安息日。
39 For when they had slaughtered their children unto their idols, they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, thus have they done in the midst of my house.
她们杀了儿女献与偶像,当天又入我的圣所,将圣所亵渎了。她们在我殿中所行的乃是如此。
40 And furthermore, they sent for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent; and behold, they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thine eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments;
“况且你们二妇打发使者去请远方人。使者到他们那里,他们就来了。你们为他们沐浴己身,粉饰眼目,佩戴妆饰,
41 and satest upon a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hadst set mine incense and mine oil.
坐在华美的床上,前面摆设桌案,将我的香料膏油摆在其上。
42 And the voice of a multitude living carelessly was with her; and with people of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the wilderness, and they put bracelets upon their hands, and a beautiful crown upon their heads.
在那里有群众安逸欢乐的声音,并有粗俗的人和酒徒从旷野同来,把镯子戴在二妇的手上,把华冠戴在她们的头上。
43 And I said of her that was old in adulteries, Will she now commit her fornications, even she.
“我论这行淫衰老的妇人说:现在人还要与她行淫,她也要与人行淫。
44 And they went in unto her, as they go in unto a whorish woman: so went they in unto Oholah and unto Oholibah the lewd women.
人与阿荷拉,并阿荷利巴二淫妇苟合,好像与妓女苟合。
45 And righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women that shed blood; for they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
必有义人,照审判淫妇和流人血的妇人之例,审判她们;因为她们是淫妇,手中有杀人的血。”
46 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will bring up an assemblage against them, and will give them to be driven hither and thither and spoiled.
主耶和华如此说:“我必使多人来攻击她们,使她们抛来抛去,被人抢夺。
47 And the assemblage shall stone them with stones, and despatch them with their swords; they shall kill their sons and their daughters, and burn their houses with fire.
这些人必用石头打死她们,用刀剑杀害她们,又杀戮她们的儿女,用火焚烧她们的房屋。
48 And I will cause lewdness to cease out of the land, and all women shall receive instruction and shall not do according to your lewdness.
这样,我必使淫行从境内止息,好叫一切妇人都受警戒,不效法你们的淫行。
49 And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols; and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.
人必照着你们的淫行报应你们;你们要担当拜偶像的罪,就知道我是主耶和华。”
