Ezekiel 23

1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 O son of humankind two women daughters of a mother one they were.

Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother:

3 And they acted as prostitutes in Egypt in youth their they acted as prostitutes there they were handled breasts their and there they squeezed [the] nipples of virginiti their.

and they went a-whoring in Egypt in their youth: there their breasts fell, there they lost their virginity.

4 And names their [was] Oholah the old [one] and [was] Oholibah sister her and they belonged to me and they bore sons and daughters and names their [was] Samaria Oholah and [was] Jerusalem Oholibah.

And their names were Oola the elder, and Ooliba her sister: and they were mine, and bore sons and daughters: and [as for] their names, Samaria was Oola, and Jerusalem was Ooliba.

5 And she acted as a prostitute Oholah under me and she lusted on lovers her to Assyria [were] warriors.

And Oola went a-whoring from me, and doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians that were her neighbors,

6 Clothed of blue governors and officials young men of desire all of them horsemen riders of horses.

clothed with purple, princes and captains; [they were] young men and choice, all horseman riding on horses.

7 And she gave prostitution her to them [were] [the] choicest of [the] sons of Assyria all of them and by all [those] whom she lusted after by all idols their she made herself unclean.

And she bestowed her fornication upon them; all were choice sons of the Assyrians: and on whoever she doted herself, with them she defiled herself in all [their] devices.

8 And prostitution her since Egypt not she forsook if her they had lain with in youth her and they they had squeezed [the] nipples of virginiti her and they had poured out prostitution their on her.

And she forsook not her fornication with the Egyptians: for in her youth they committed fornication with her, and they deflowered her, and poured out their fornication upon her.

9 Therefore I gave her in [the] hand of lovers her in [the] hand of [the] people of Assyria whom she had lusted on them.

Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the children of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.

10 They they uncovered nakedness her sons her and daughters her they took and her with the sword they killed and she became a name to women and judgments they brought about on her.

They uncovered her shame: they took her sons and daughters, and killed her with the sword: and she became a byword among women: and they wrought vengeance in her for the sake of the daughters.

11 And she saw sister her Oholibah and she acted corruptly lust her more than her and prostitution her more than [the] prostitutions of sister her.

And her sister Ooliba saw [it], and she indulged in her fondness more corruptly than she, and in her fornication more than the fornication of her sister.

12 To [the] sons of Assyria she lusted governors and officials warriors clothed of perfection horsemen riders of horses [were] young men of desire all of them.

She doted upon the sons of the Assyrian, princes and captains, her neighbors, clothed with fine linen, horsemen riding on horses; [they were] all choice young men.

13 And I saw that she had made herself unclean way one [belonged] to both of them.

And I saw that they were defiled, [that] the two [had] one way.

14 And she added to prostitution her and she saw men of a carved [thing] on the wall [the] images of ([the] Chaldeans *Q(k)*) inscribed with vermilion.

And she increased her fornication, and she saw men painted on the wall, likenesses of the Chaldeans painted with a pencil,

15 Girded of a waistband on hips their overhung of turbans on heads their [the] appearance of of icers all of them [the] likeness of [the] sons of Babylon Chaldea [was] [the] land of kindred their.

having variegated girdles on their loins, having also richly dyed [attire] upon their heads; all had a princely appearance, the likeness of the children of the Chaldeans, of their native land.

16 (And she lusted! *Q(K)*) on them to [the] sight of eyes her and she sent messengers to them Chaldea towards.

And she doted upon them as soon as she saw them, and sent forth messengers to them into the land of the Chaldeans.

17 And they came to her [the] sons of Babylon to a bed of love and they defiled her by prostitution their and she became unclean by them and it was alienated self her from them.

And the sons of Babylon came to her, into the bed of rest, and they defiled her in her fornication, and she was defiled by them, and her soul was alienated from them.

18 And she uncovered prostitution her and she uncovered nakedness her and it was alienated self my from with her just as it had been alienated self my from with sister her.

And she exposed her fornication, and exposed her shame: and my soul was alienated from her, even as my soul was alienated from her sister.

19 And she increased prostitution her to remember [the] days of youth her when she acted as a prostitute in [the] land of Egypt.

And you did multiply your fornication, so as to call to remembrance the days of your youth, wherein you did commit whoredom in Egypt,

20 And she lusted! on paramours their whom [was the] flesh of donkeys flesh their and [was the] ejaculation of horses ejaculation their.

and you did dote upon the Chaldeans, whose flesh is as the flesh of the asses, and their members [as] the members of horses.

21 And you sought [the] licentiousness of youth your when squeezed since Egypt nipples your on account of [the] breasts of youth your.

And you did look upon the iniquity of your youth, [the things] which you wrought in Egypt in your lodgings, where were the breasts of your youth.

22 Therefore O Oholibah thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to rouse lovers your on you [those] whom it was alienated self your from them and I will bring them on you from round about.

Therefore, Ooliba, thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] stir up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them upon you round about,

23 [the] people of Babylon and all [the] Chaldeans Pekod and Shoa and Koa all [the] people of Assyria with them young men of desire governors and officials all of of them icers and called [ones] riders of horses all of them.

the children of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, Phacuc, and Sue, and Hychue, and all the sons of the Assyrians with them; choice young men, governors and captains, all princes and renowned, riding on horses.

24 And they will come on you weapon[s] chariot[s] and wheel[s] and with a company of peoples body shield and shield and helmet they will set up on you all around and I will set before them judgment and they will judge you by judgments their.

And they all shall come upon you from the north, chariots and wheels, with a multitude of nations, shields and targets; and [the enemy] shall set a watch against you round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall take vengeance on you with their judgments.

25 And I will set jealousy my on you and they will deal with with you in rage nose your and ears your they will remove and remainder your by the sword it will fall they sons your and daughters your they will take and remainder your it will be consumed by fire.

And I will bring upon you my jealousy, and they shall deal with you in great wrath: they shall take away your nose and your ears; and shall cast down your remnant with the sword: they shall take your sons and your daughters; and your remnant fire shall devour.

26 And they will strip off you clothes your and they will take away [the] articles of beauty your.

And they shall strip you of your raiment, and take [away] your ornaments.

27 And I will cause to cease licentiousness your from you and prostitution your from [the] land of Egypt and not you will lift up eyes your to them and Egypt not you will remember again.

So I will turn back your ungodliness from you, and your fornication from the land of Egypt: and you shall not lift up your eyes upon them, and shall no more remember Egypt.

28 For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to give you in [the] hand of [those] whom you hate in [the] hand of [those] whom it has been alienated self your from them.

Therefore thus says the Lord God; Behold, I [will] deliver you into the hands of those whom you hate, from whom your soul is alienated.

29 And they will deal with with you in hatred and they will take all property your and they will leave you nakedness and bareness and it will be uncovered [the] nakedness of prostitutions your and licentiousness your and prostitution your.

And they shall deal with you in hatred, and shall take all [the fruits] of your labors and your toils, and you shall be naked and bare: and the shame of your fornication shall be exposed: and your ungodliness and your fornication

30 They have done these [things] to you because acted as a prostitute you after nations on that you made yourself unclean by idols their.

brought this upon you, in that you went a-whoring after the nations, and did defile yourself with their devices.

31 In [the] way of sister your you have walked and I will put cup her in hand your.

You did walk in the way of your sister; and I will put her cup into your hands.

32 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh [the] cup of sister your you will drink deep and wide it will become laughter and mockery much to contain.

Thus says the Lord; Drink your sister's cup, deep and large, and full, to cause complete drunkenness.

33 Drunkenness and sorrow you will be filled [is] a cup of horror and desolation [the] cup of sister your Samaria.

And you shall be thoroughly weakened; and the cup of destruction, the cup of your sister Samaria,

34 And you will drink it and you will drain [it] and fragments its you will break and breasts your you will tear out for I I have spoken [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

drink you it, and I will take away her feasts and her new moons: for I have spoken [it], says the Lord.

35 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because you have forgotten me and you have thrown me behind back your and also you bear licentiousness your and prostitution your.

Therefore thus says the Lord; Because you has forgotten me, and cast me behind your back, therefore receive you [the reward] of your ungodliness and your fornication.

36 And he said Yahweh to me O son of humankind ¿ will you judge Oholah and Oholibah and declare to them abominations their.

And the Lord said to me, Son of man, will you not judge Oola and Ooliba? and declare to them their iniquities?

37 For they have committed adultery and blood [is] on hands their and with idols their they have committed adultery and also children their whom they bore to me they made pass through to them to food.

For they have committed adultery, and blood was in their hands, they committed adultery with their devices, and they passed through the fire to them their children which they bore to me.

38 Again this they have done to me they have made unclean sanctuary my on the day that and sabbaths my they have profaned.

So long too as they did these things to me, they defiled my sanctuary, and profaned my sabbaths.

39 And when had slaughtered they children their to idols their and they went into sanctuary my on the day that to profane it and there! thus they did in [the] midst of house my.

And when they sacrificed their children to their idols, they also went into my sanctuary to profane it: and whereas they did thus in the midst of my house;

40 And also for they sent for men [who] come from a distance whom a messenger [was] sent to them and there! they came for whom you bathed you painted eyes your and you put on ornament[s].

and whereas they did thus to the men that came from afar, to whom they sent messengers, and as soon as they came, immediately you did wash yourself, and did paint your eyes and adorn yourself with ornaments,

41 And you sat on a couch glorious and a table [was] arranged before it and incense my and oil my you put on it.

and sat on a prepared bed, and before it [there was] a table set out, and [as for] mine incense and mine oil, they rejoiced in them,

42 And [the] sound of a multitude at ease [was] in her and to men from [the] multitude of humankind [were] brought (Sabeans *Q(K)*) from [the] wilderness and they put bracelets to hands their and a crown of beauty on heads their.

and they raised a sound of music, and [that] with men coming from the wilderness out of a multitude of men, and they put bracelets on their hands, and a crown of glory on their heads;

43 And I said of the [woman] worn out adulteries (now they will act as a prostitutes *Q(K)*) prostitution her and she.

Therefore I said, Do they not commit adultery with these? and has she also gone a-whoring [after] the manner of a harlot?

44 And he went into her as goes into a woman a prostitute so they went into Oholah and into Oholibah [the] women of licentiousness.

And they went in to her, as [men] go in to a harlot; so they went in to Oola and to Ooliba to work iniquity.

45 And people righteous they they will judge them judgment of adulteresses and judgment of [women who] shed blood for [are] adulteresses they and blood [is] on hands their.

And they are just men, and shall take vengeance on them with the judgment of an adulteress and the judgment of blood: for they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.

46 For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh bring up on them a company and give over them to terror and to spoil.

Thus says the Lord God, Bring up a multitude upon them, and send trouble and plunder into the midst of them.

47 And they will stone on them stone[s] [the] company and they will cut down them with swords their sons their and daughters their they will kill and houses their with fire they will burn.

And stone them with the stones of a multitude, and pierce them with their swords: they shall kill their sons and their daughters, and shall burn up their houses.

48 And I will cause to cease licentiousness from the land and they will be warned all the women and not they will do like licentiousness your.

And I will remove ungodliness out of the land, and all the women shall be instructed, and shall not do according to their ungodliness.

49 And people will requite licentiousness your to you and [the] sins of idols your you will bear and you will know that I [am the] Lord Yahweh.

And your ungodliness shall be recompensed upon you, and you shall bear the guilt of your devices: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
