Ezekiel 16
1 Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
2 “Son of man, challenge Jerusalem over her disgusting practices.
人子，你要去使耶路撒冷知道她的一切醜惡!
3 Tell Jerusalem that this is what the Lord God says to her: You really are a Canaanite, both by your birth and parentage. Your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a Hittite.
你要宣講說：吾主上主這樣對耶路撒冷說：你的起源和來歷是出自客納罕地，你的父親是阿摩黎人，你的母親是赫特人。
4 On the day you were born your cord was not cut, and you weren't washed to clean you up, you weren't rubbed with salt, and you weren't wrapped in cloths.
當你出生時，在你誕生的那一天，沒有人割斷你的臍帶，用水洗淨你，用鹽擦你，用襁褓裹你；
5 No one looked on you with love to do anything like this for you; no one showed any kind of care for you. No, you were thrown away in a field, abandoned and despised from the day you were born.
沒有一個人憐視你，為你做一件上述的事，對你表同情。反之，在你誕生之日，因為你惹人討厭，就把你拋棄在田野間。
6 But I passed by and saw you kicking, covered in your own blood. As you were lying there in your blood I told you, ‘I want you to live!’ I said to you right there, ‘I want you to live!’
我從你身旁經過時，見你輾轉在血污中，就向你說：你在血中生活罷!
7 I help you to grow like a plant in the field. You grew up into a beautiful young woman. Your breasts developed and your body hair grew, and you were completely naked.
生長有如田野間的花草。你遂漸漸發育長大，到了青春年華，你的乳房碩壯，頭髮蔓長，但還是赤身裸體。
8 When I passed by again, I looked at you and saw that you were old enough for lovemaking. So I spread my robe over you and covered up your naked body. I committed myself to you and made a solemn agreement with you, and made you mine, declares the Lord God.
我又經過你身旁時，看見了你，見你的時期即懷春期到了，我就向你展開了我的衣襟，遮蓋了你得裸體，也向你發了誓，立了約──吾主上主的斷語──你遂成了我的。
9 Then I washed you with water, cleaned off your blood, and anointed you with oil.
我用水洗淨了你，滌除了你身上的血污；又用香膏傅抹了你，
10 I put a beautifully embroidered dress on you and gave you fine leather sandals. I clothed you in fine linen and covered you with silk.
給你穿上錦繡的衣服，穿上海狗皮鞋，蒙上細麻頭巾，披上綢緞；
11 I gave you jewelry—I put bracelets on your wrists and a necklace around your neck.
以後又用珠寶裝飾你，給你腕上帶上鐲子，頸上掛上項鏈，
12 I put a ring in your nose and earrings on your ears, and placed a beautiful crown on your head.
鼻子上套上環子，耳朵掛上金環，頭上戴上花冠。
13 You wore gold and silver jewelry, and your clothes were made of the finest linen, expensive fabric, and embroidered cloth. You ate bread made with the best flour, and honey and olive oil. You grew even more beautiful and became a queen.
金銀作你的點綴，細麻、綢緞和錦繡作你的衣服；細麵、蜂蜜和油作你的飲食。你實在美麗絕倫，堪登后位。
14 You were famous around the world because of your beauty, for I used my majestic power to make you so wonderful, declares the Lord God.
因你的美麗，你的名聲傳遍了萬國；因我用我的飾物點綴了你，你才如此美麗無瑕──吾主上主的斷語。
15 You were so proud of your beauty that you were unfaithful to me. You thought that because you were so famous you could prostitute yourself and sleep with anyone who passed by. They took your beautiful body for themselves.
然而你仗恃你的美麗，憑著你的名聲去行淫，與任何過客縱情淫亂。
16 You made yourself colorful pagan shrines out of the clothes I'd given you, and there you acted as a prostitute. Things like this have never happened before, and they should never happen in the future!
你還用你的衣服，作為高丘的點綴，為在那裏行淫。
17 You also used the beautiful gold and silver jewelry I gave you to make male idols and you prostituted yourself with them.
又用我給你的金銀飾物，製造男人的像，同它們行淫；
18 You used your embroidered clothes to dress them, and you placed before them my olive oil and incense.
又將錦繡衣服，給它們穿上，把我給你的油和香料，供在它們前。
19 You presented the food I had given you as an offering for them to accept —bread made from the best flour, olive oil, and honey that I had provided for you to eat. That's exactly what you did, declares the Lord God.
我給你的食品：細麵、油和蜜，原是為養活你的，你卻拿去供在它們前，作為甘飴的馨香──吾主上主的斷語──
20 You sacrificed your sons and daughters—the children you had for me—offering them as food for idols to eat. Wasn't your prostitution evil enough?
甚至你還祭殺你給我生的子女，作為它們的食品。你這淫行還算小嗎﹖
21 You slaughtered my children, sacrificing them to idols.
你竟祭殺了我的子女，予以焚化，獻給它們。
22 While you were busy with all your disgusting practices and your prostitution, you forgot about the time when you were young, completely naked and lying there kicking in your own blood.
你行這些醜惡和淫亂之事時，卻沒有想起你幼年的時期，那時你本來赤身露體，輾轉在血污中。
23 Disaster is coming! Disaster is coming on you, declares the Lord God. As well as all the other evil things you did,
你除了行這一切邪惡之外──你有禍了，你有禍了，吾主上主的斷語──
24 you built yourself a pagan shrine, a high place of idol worship on every public square in the city.
你還為自己建築高台，在各街上建立丘壇。
25 You made yourselves high places of idol worship at the top of every street; you degraded yourself, offering your beautiful body to anyone who passed by, opening your legs for them, becoming more and more promiscuous.
又在所有的街頭設立丘壇，去損害你的美麗，把你的腳伸向所有過客，縱情淫亂；
26 You gave yourself as a prostitute to your Egyptian neighbors with their large sexual organs, making me angry as you became even more promiscuous.
又與你那身體肥大的鄰居埃及人行淫；你盡情淫蕩，激起我的怒火。
27 So I acted to reduce my blessings to you. I let your enemies the Philistines do what they wanted to you. Even they were embarrassed at your immorality.
我曾伸手打擊你，削減了你的供應品，把你交給那仇恨你的培肋舍特城邑，她們對你那淫蕩的行為都感到羞恥。
28 Because you weren't satisfied you prostituted yourself with the Assyrians. But even then you weren't satisfied.
因你還不滿足，又與亞述人行淫；與他們行淫之後，仍未獲得滿足，
29 So you took your promiscuous behavior to Babylonia, the country of merchants, but even then you weren't satisfied!
又與商業之國的加色丁人縱慾淫亂，但你仍得不到滿足。
30 You're really sick-minded to do all this, acting like a prostitute with no shame, declares the Lord God.
你的心是何等的腐化──吾主上主的斷語──你行的這一切，簡直是無恥娼婦之所為!
31 Actually you weren't even a normal prostitute when you built yourselves pagan shrines at the top of every street and high places of idol worship on every public square—because you refused to be paid for your services!
你在各街頭為你建築高台，在各廣場上建立丘壇，但你並不像娼妓只為獲得淫資，
32 You're a wife that loves adultery! You sleep with strangers instead of your husband!
卻是一個淫婦，雖有丈夫，仍接納外人。
33 Normally all prostitutes are paid, but you were the one giving gifts to all your lovers. You even bribed them to come from all around and have sex with you.
對妓女都給以纏頭，但你卻把纏頭給你的情人，吸引他們從各方來與你行淫。
34 So you're the opposite of other prostitutes. No one comes to you asking for sex, and you pay the prostitute's fee instead of receiving it. You're the exact opposite!
關於你，你行淫正與其他婦女相反，沒有人追求你行淫，人不給你淫資，而你卻拿出淫資給人：這就是你與人相反的地方。
35 So, you prostitute, listen to the message from the Lord!
為此，你這淫婦，聽上主的話罷!
36 This is what the Lord God says: Because you were so crazy with desire you stripped yourself naked and committed adultery with your lovers and with all your disgusting idols, and because you killed your children as sacrifices to those idols,
吾主上主這樣說：因為你暴露了你的下身，揭開了你的裸體，同你的情人，同你的醜惡之神行淫，更因為你把子女的血獻給它們；
37 I'm going to bring together all the lovers you went to bed with, whether you loved them or hated them, and I will have them gather from everywhere around and I will strip you as they watch so they will see you totally naked.
為此，看，我要聚集你所戀愛的情人，你所愛的人，和你所恨的人；我由各方把他們聚集來打擊你，我要在他們前揭開你的裸體，使他們看見你整個的裸體。
38 I will impose on you the punishment for women who commit adultery and those who murder; you will be punished in passionate anger.
我要照姦婦和流血的女人的案件裁判你，對你發洩憤怒和妒火。
39 Then I will hand you over to your lovers, and they will demolish your pagan shrines and destroy your high places of idol worship. They will strip you of your clothes, remove your beautiful jewelry, and leave you stark naked.
我要把你交在他們手中，他們要破壞你的高台，蕩平你的丘壇，剝下你的衣服，奪去你的裝飾，赤身露體地拋棄你。
40 They will come with a mob to attack you. They will stone you and chop you into pieces with their swords.
他們還要召集聯軍來攻打你，用石頭砸死你，用刀劍把你凌遲，
41 They will burn down your houses and punish you while many women watch. I will stop your prostitution, and you won't ever pay your lovers again.
放火燒你的房舍，在眾婦女前裁判你。我要這樣停止你的淫亂，使你再也不能贈送淫資。
42 Then I will finish being jealous and furious with you. I will calm down and won't be angry any more.
如此，我就平息了我向你發的憤怒，我的妒火也要遠離你，我要寧靜，不再發怒。
43 Since you didn't remember how I looked after you when you were young, but made me angry with all the things that you did, I will make sure you experience the results of what you've done, declares the Lord God. For this immorality was in addition to all the other disgusting things you did, wasn't it?
因為你不追念你幼年的日子，反在這些事上惹我憤怒；看，我要把你的行為報復在你頭上──吾主上主的斷語──使你再不與你所有的醜惡之物行淫。
44 Everyone who likes to use proverbs will quote this one about you: ‘Like mother, like daughter.’
凡說格言的必以格言指著你說：有其母，必有其女!
45 You are the daughter of your mother who detested her husband and children. You are just like her! You are the sister of your sisters, just like them who detested their husbands and children. In fact your mother was a Hittite and your father was an Amorite.
你真不愧是你母親的女兒，因為她憎嫌了自己的丈夫和子女；你也不愧是你姊妹們的姊妹，因為她們也憎嫌了自己的丈夫和子女；你們的母親是赫特人，你們的父親是阿摩黎人﹖
46 Your older sister was Samaria, who lived north of you with her daughters. Your younger sister was Sodom, who lived south of you with her daughters.
你的姐姐是撒瑪黎雅，她和她所有的女兒住在你的北面；你的妹妹是索多瑪，她和她所有的女兒住在你的南面。
47 You didn't just follow their ways and do the same disgusting things they did, you very quickly became even worse than them.
你沒有走她們所走的路，沒有行她們所行的醜事，為時很短；但後來你在你的一切行為上比她們更壞。
48 As I live, declares the Lord God, your sister Sodom and her daughters didn't ever do what you and your daughters have done.
我指著我的生命起誓──吾主上主的斷語──你的妹妹索多瑪和她的女兒沒有行過像你和你的女兒們所行的事。
49 The sins of your sister Sodom were these: She and her daughters were proud, greedy, and lazy. They didn't help the poor and those in need.
你的妹妹索多瑪的罪惡是：她和她的女兒生活奢華，飲食豐富，安享太平，卻沒有伸手扶助遭難和貧窮的人，
50 They became arrogant and did disgusting things in my presence. So I got rid of them when I saw this.
妄自尊大，在我面前行了醜惡的事；我一看見，就把她們予以消除。
51 Samaria didn't sin half as badly as you did. You have done far more disgusting things than they did. In fact, all the revolting things you've done make your sisters look good!
連撒瑪黎雅也沒有犯過你一半的罪過，你行的敗德之事更甚於她們；由於你行了這樣多的醜惡，使你的姐姐卻顯得比你更正義。
52 Now you're going to have to put up with your shame, since by your disgraceful sins you made them seem far better. Compared to you they look good! Now you too have to put up with your shame and disgrace because you've made your sisters look as if they were good.
現今，你應當承受你罪惡的羞辱，因為你好像為了你的姊妹作了擔保人，因為你所犯的罪過比她們犯的更重，使她們顯得比你更正義；現今，你應當害羞，承受羞辱，因為你使你的姊妹顯得更正義。
53 Even so I'm going to bring Sodom and her daughters back from exile, and Samaria and her daughters too. I will bring you back together with them.
我要改變她們的命運：即索多瑪和她女兒們的命運，撒瑪黎雅和她女兒們的命運，同時我也改變你在她們中的命運；
54 In this way you will have to put up with your disgrace and be ashamed of all the bad things you did that made them feel better about themselves.
為叫你承受你應受的羞辱時，你對自己所行的一切自覺慚愧，可使她們略得寬慰。
55 Your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, will be restored to what they were before. You and your daughters will also be restored to what you were before.
那時你的妹妹索多瑪和她的女兒們，要恢復原狀，撒瑪黎雅和她的女兒們也要恢復原狀，同時你和你的女兒也要恢復原狀。
56 Didn't you mock your sister Sodom when you were feeling proud,
當你心高氣傲時，你的妹妹索多瑪在你的口中不是有過臭名嗎﹖
57 before you were shown to be so wicked yourselves? Of course now you are mocked by the Edomites and the surrounding nations, as well as by the Philistines. Everyone around you looks down on you.
但這是在暴露你的裸體之前。現今你卻成了厄東的女兒們及其四鄰，並培肋舍特的女兒們辱罵的對象，她們在四周都嘲笑你。
58 You will have to experience the consequences of your immorality and your disgusting practices, declares the Lord.
你應承當你淫蕩和醜行的報應──吾主上主的斷語──
59 This is what the Lord God says: I'm going to punish you according to your sins, because you treated the promise you made with contempt by breaking the agreement.
吾主上主這樣說：因為你輕視了誓言，破壞了盟約，我要照你所行的對待你；
60 But I won't forget the agreement I made with you when you were young, and I will make an everlasting agreement with you.
然而我還紀念同你在你青年的時日所立的盟約，並且還要同你結一個永久的盟約。
61 Then you will remember the way you are meant to live and be ashamed when you meet your older and younger sisters when they return to you. I will give them to you as daughters, even though this was not part of our original agreement.
當你收納比你年長的姐姐和比你年幼的妹妹，我把她們交給你作你的女兒時，你要想起你的行為，自覺羞愧，但這並不是出於與你所立的盟約。
62 This is how I will endorse my agreement with you, and you will know that I am the Lord,
我要與你重訂盟約，你要承認我是上主，
63 so that you will remember and be ashamed, and won't ever defend your disgraceful behavior when I forgive you for everything you've done, declares the Lord God.”
為的是當我寬恕你所行的一切時，你一回想就慚愧，面對這恥辱再不敢開口──吾主上主的斷語。」
