< Ezekiel 23 >

1 The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,
耶和华的话又临到我说:
2 “Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother.
“人子啊,有两个女子,是一母所生,
3 They played the prostitute in Egypt. They played the prostitute in their youth. Their breasts were fondled there, and their youthful nipples were caressed there.
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 Their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister. They became 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 “Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine. She doted on her lovers, on 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 who were clothed with blue—governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on 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 She gave herself as a prostitute to them, all of them the choicest men of Assyria. She defiled herself with the idols of whomever she lusted after.
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 She hasn’t left her prostitution since leaving Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her. They caressed her youthful nipples and they poured out their prostitution on 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 delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians on whom she doted.
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 uncovered her nakedness. They took her sons and her daughters, and they killed her with the sword. She became a byword amongst women; for they executed judgements on 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 “Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt in her lusting than she, and in her prostitution which was more depraved than the prostitution 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 Assyrians, governors and rulers—her neighbours, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable 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 I saw that she was defiled. They both went the same way.
我看见她被玷污了,她姊妹二人同行一路。
14 “She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with red,
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 dressed with belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like princes, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.
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 As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to 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 The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their prostitution. She was polluted 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 So she uncovered her prostitution and uncovered her nakedness. Then my soul was alienated from her, just like 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 prostitution, remembering the days of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute 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 She lusted after their lovers, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
贪恋情人身壮精足,如驴如马。
21 Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the caressing of your nipples by the Egyptians because of your youthful breasts.
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, the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them against you 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 Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa, Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; all of them desirable young men, governors and rulers, princes and men of renown, all of them riding on 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 They will come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples. They will set themselves against you with buckler, shield, and helmet all around. I will commit the judgement to them, and they will judge you according to their judgements.
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 I will set my jealousy against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will take away your nose and your ears. Your remnant will fall by the sword. They will take your sons and your daughters; and the rest of you will 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 will also strip you of your clothes and take away your beautiful jewels.
他们必剥去你的衣服,夺取你华美的宝器。
27 Thus I will make your lewdness to cease from you, and remove your prostitution from the land of Egypt, so that you will not lift up your eyes to 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 the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them from whom your 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 They will deal with you in hatred, and will take away all your labour, and will leave you naked and bare. The nakedness of your prostitution will be uncovered, both your lewdness and your prostitution.
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 will be done to you because you have played the prostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted 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 You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your 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 “The Lord GOD says: ‘You will drink of your sister’s cup, which is deep and large. You will be ridiculed and held in derision. It contains 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 You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your 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 You will even drink it and drain it out. You will gnaw the broken pieces of it, and will tear your breasts; for I have spoken it,’ says the Lord GOD.
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 the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have forgotten me and cast me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and your prostitution.’”
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 The LORD said moreover to me: “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to 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. They have committed adultery with their idols. They have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire to them 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 they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have 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 slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, they have done this in the middle 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 “Furthermore you sisters have sent for men who come from far away, to whom a messenger was sent, and behold, they came; for whom you washed yourself, painted your eyes, decorated yourself 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 sat on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you set my incense and my 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 “The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her. With men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on their hands, and beautiful crowns on 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 Then I said of her who was old in adulteries, ‘Now they will play the prostitute with her, and she with them.’
“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 They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute. So they went in to Oholah and to 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 Righteous men will judge them with the judgement of adulteresses and with the judgement of women who shed blood, because 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 the Lord GOD says: ‘I will bring up a mob against them, and will give them to be tossed back and forth and robbed.
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 The company will stone them with stones and dispatch them with their swords. They will kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up 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 “‘Thus I will cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to be lewd like you.
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 They will recompense your lewdness on you, and you will bear the sins of your idols. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’”
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。”
