Ezekiel 16
1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
上主的話傳給我說：「
2 Son of man, make known unto Jerusalem her abominations,
人子，你要去使耶路撒冷知道她的一切醜惡!
3 And thou shalt say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal unto Jerusalem, Thy origin and thy birth are out of the land of Canaan: thy father was an Emorite, and thy mother 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 And as for thy birth, on the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, nor wast thou washed in water to he cleansed; and thou wast not rubbed with salt, nor wrapt in swaddling clothes.
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 eye looked with pity on thee, to do any of these things unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out on the open field, with a loathing of thy body, on the day that thou wast 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 then by thee, and I saw thee stained with thy own blood, and I said unto thee, In thy blood, live; yea, I said unto thee, In thy blood, 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 Myriads, like the vegetation of the field, did I make of thee, and thou didst increase and become great, and thou attainedst the highest attractions: with thy breasts developed, and thy hair full grown; but thou wast still naked and bare.
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 But I passed then by thee, and saw thee, and, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread the skirt of my garment over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I swore unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord Eternal, and thou becamest mine.
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 did I bathe thee with water, yea, I thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee; and I anointed thee 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 clothed thee also with broidered work, and made thee shoes of badger's skin, and I placed on thy head a turban of fine linen, and I covered thee 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 And I decked thee with ornaments, and I placed bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain around thy 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 And I placed a ring on thy nose, and earrings in thy ears, and a crown of splendor on thy head.
鼻子上套上環子，耳朵掛上金環，頭上戴上花冠。
13 Thus wast thou ornamented with gold and silver; and thy garments were of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; fine flour, and honey, and oil didst thou eat: and thou wast exceedingly beautiful, and thou didst succeed to acquire dominion.
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 And thy fame went forth among the nations because of thy beauty; for it was perfect through my glorious ornament, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord Eternal.
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 But thou didst trust in thy beauty, and play the harlot because of thy fame, and lavish thy lewd caresses on every one that passed by—on him they were bestowed.
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 And thou didst take from thy garments, and deck thee high-places with divers colors, and play the harlot thereupon: never should the like come to pass, and never should it be so.
你還用你的衣服，作為高丘的點綴，為在那裏行淫。
17 And thou didst take thy elegant ornaments of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and make for thyself male images, and play the harlot with them;
又用我給你的金銀飾物，製造男人的像，同它們行淫；
18 And thou didst take thy broidered garments, and cover them: and my oil and my incense didst thou place before them.
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 And my bread which I had given thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, which I had let thee eat, even this didst thou set before them for a sweet savour: yes, so was it, saith the Lord Eternal.
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 And thou didst take thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hadst born unto me, and didst slaughter these unto them to be devoured; [but] were thy acts of lewdness not yet 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 That thou didst slay my children, and give them up to cause them to pass through the fire for them?
你竟祭殺了我的子女，予以焚化，獻給它們。
22 And in all thy abominations and thy acts of lewdness thou didst not remember the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, when thou wast stained with thy 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 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, —[woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord Eternal; ]—
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 That thou didst build unto thyself eminences, and make thyself elevations in every street.
你還為自己建築高台，在各街上建立丘壇。
25 On the corner of every road didst thou build thy elevations, and make thy beauty abominable, and spread out thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiply thy acts of lewdness.
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 And thou didst play the harlot with the Egyptians, thy neighbors, with large limbs, and multiply thy acts of lewdness, to provoke me to anger.
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 And, behold, I stretched out my hand over thee, and diminished thy stated portion; and I gave thee up unto the will of those that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, who were made to blush for thy incestuous course.
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 Then didst thou play the harlot with the sons of Asshur, because thou wast unsatiable: yea, thou didst play the harlot with them, and wast even then not 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 And thou didst multiply thy lewdness with the traders' land as far as Chaldea; and even with this wast thou not 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 How very corrupt is thy heart, saith the Lord Eternal, seeing thou didst all these things, deeds of an abandoned lewd woman;
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 Seeing that thou didst build thy eminences at the corner of every road, and make thy elevations in every street; and wast not like a harlot, as thou scornedst the wages.
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 O thou adulterous wife! who, while bound to her husband, receiveth strangers!
卻是一個淫婦，雖有丈夫，仍接納外人。
33 Unto all harlots they give presents; but thou hast given thy presents to all thy lovers, and hast bribed them, that they might come unto thee from every side in thy acts of lewdness.
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 And the reverse was the case with thee from [other] women in thy acts of lewdness, that men did not follow thee to seek thy lewd caresses; and because thou gavest the wages, and no wages were given thee: so was it the reverse with thee.
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 Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord!
為此，你這淫婦，聽上主的話罷!
36 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Whereas thy wealth was squandered, and thy nakedness was uncovered through thy lewd acts with thy lovers, and with all thy abominable idols, and for the blood of thy children, whom thou didst give unto them:
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 Therefore, behold, I will gather all thy lovers, whom thou hast given pleasure, and all whom thou hast loved, together with all whom thou hast hated, —yea, I will gather them all round about thee, and will uncover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
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 And I will judge thee, as adulteresses and women that shed blood are judged; and I will bring upon thee the blood of fury and jealousy.
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 And I will also give thee up into their hand, and they shall pull down thy eminences, and shall break down thy elevations; and they shall strip thee of thy clothes, and they shall take thy elegant ornaments, and leave thee naked and bare.
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 And they shall bring up against thee an assembly, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through 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 And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and execute punishments on thee before the eyes of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from being a harlot, and also the wages [of sin] shalt thou not give any more.
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 And then will I assuage my fury on thee, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
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 Because that thou didst not remember the days of thy youth, but didst irritate me with all these things: behold, therefore I also will bring thy course upon thy head, saith the Lord Eternal, and thou shalt no more commit incest with all thy [other] abominations.
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 Behold, every one that speaketh in proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As the mother is, so is her daughter.
凡說格言的必以格言指著你說：有其母，必有其女!
45 Thou art thy mother's daughter, loathing her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who have loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Emorite.
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 And thy elder sister is Samaria, she with her daughters, that dwelleth at thy left hand, and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom 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 Yet not even in their ways didst thou walk, nor act according to their abominations: as though this were quite too little, and thou wast more corrupt than they in all thy ways.
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, saith the Lord Eternal, Sodom thy sister, she with her daughters, hath not done as thou hast done, thou with thy daughters.
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 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom: Pride, abundance of food, and prosperous security were hers and her daughters'; but the hand of the poor and needy did she not strengthen.
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 And they became haughty, and committed abominations before me: therefore did I remove them when I saw their course.
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 And Samaria hath not committed even the half of thy sins; but thou didst multiply thy abominations more than they; and thou hast justified thy sisters through all thy abominations which thou hast done.
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 Bear then thou also thy own confusion, which thou didst adjudge unto each of thy sisters; through thy sins, which thou hast committed more abominably than they, are they made more righteous than thou: therefore thou also—be ashamed, and bear thy confusion, since thou hast justified thy sisters.
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 And I will bring back again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of the captives in the midst of 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 order that thou mayest bear thy confusion, and mayest be confounded because of all that thou hast done, when thou art a comfort unto them.
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 And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former state, and thou and thy daughters shall return to your former state.
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 And was not thy sister Sodom a report in thy mouth in the days of thy pride,
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 yet thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all those round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, who taunted thee on all sides?
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 Thy incest and thy abominations, —thou thyself hadst to bear them, saith the Lord.
你應承當你淫蕩和醜行的報應──吾主上主的斷語──
59 For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, thou who hast despised the oath by breaking the covenant.
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 Nevertheless will I indeed remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
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 And thou shalt then remember thy ways, and be confounded, when thou receivest thy sisters, both those that are older than thou and younger than thou: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, though not because thou wast faithful to the covenant.
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 And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord:
我要與你重訂盟約，你要承認我是上主，
63 In order that thou mayest remember, and feel ashamed, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy confusion, when I forgive thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord Eternal.
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。」
