以西结书

第 23 章

1. 耶和华的话又临到我说,
The word of the LORD came to me:
2. 人子阿,有两个女子,是一母所生,
"Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother.
3. 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。
They became prostitutes in Egypt, engaging in prostitution from their youth. In that land their breasts were fondled and their virgin bosoms caressed.
4. 她们的名字,姐姐名叫阿荷拉,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,阿荷拉就是撒玛利亚,阿荷利巴就是耶路撒冷。
The older was named Oholah, and her sister was Oholibah. They were mine and gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.
5. 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。
"Oholah engaged in prostitution while she was still mine; and she lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians--warriors
6. 这些人都穿蓝衣,作省长,副省长,都骑着马,是可爱的少年人。
clothed in blue, governors and commanders, all of them handsome young men, and mounted horsemen.
7. 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。
She gave herself as a prostitute to all the elite of the Assyrians and defiled herself with all the idols of everyone she lusted after.
8. 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。
She did not give up the prostitution she began in Egypt, when during her youth men slept with her, caressed her virgin bosom and poured out their lust upon her.
9. 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。
"Therefore I handed her over to her lovers, the Assyrians, for whom she lusted.
10. 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。
They stripped her naked, took away her sons and daughters and killed her with the sword. She became a byword among women, and punishment was inflicted on her.
11. 她妹妹阿荷利巴虽然看见了,却还贪恋,比她姐姐更丑。行淫乱比她姐姐更多。
"Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet in her lust and prostitution she was more depraved than her sister.
12. 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。
She too lusted after the Assyrians--governors and commanders, warriors in full dress, mounted horsemen, all handsome young men.
13. 我看见她被玷污了,她姐妹二人同行一路。
I saw that she too defiled herself; both of them went the same way.
14. 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,
"But she carried her prostitution still further. She saw men portrayed on a wall, figures of Chaldeans portrayed in red,
15. 腰间系着带子,头上有下垂的裹头巾,都是军长的形状,仿照巴比伦人的形像。他们的故土就是迦勒底。
with belts around their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked like Babylonian chariot officers, natives of Chaldea.
16. 阿荷利巴一看见就贪恋他们,打发使者往迦勒底去见他们。
As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
17. 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。
Then the Babylonians came to her, to the bed of love, and in their lust they defiled her. After she had been defiled by them, she turned away from them in disgust.
18. 这样,她显露淫行,又显露下体。我心就与她生疏,像先前与她姐姐生疏一样。
When she carried on her prostitution openly and exposed her nakedness, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister.
19. 她还加增她的淫行,追念她幼年在埃及地行邪淫的日子,
Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt.
20. 贪恋情人身壮精足,如驴如马。
There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.
21. 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。
So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.
22. 阿荷利巴阿,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。
"Therefore, Oholibah, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will stir up your lovers against you, those you turned away from in disgust, and I will bring them against you from every side--
23. 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。
the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, the men of Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, handsome young men, all of them governors and commanders, chariot officers and men of high rank, all mounted on horses.
24. 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。
They will come against you with weapons, chariots and wagons and with a throng of people; they will take up positions against you on every side with large and small shields and with helmets. I will turn you over to them for punishment, and they will punish you according to their standards.
25. 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(或作余剩下同)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。
I will direct my jealous anger against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will cut off your noses and your ears, and those of you who are left will fall by the sword. They will take away your sons and daughters, and those of you who are left will be consumed by fire.
26. 他们必剥去你的衣服,夺取你华美的宝器。
They will also strip you of your clothes and take your fine jewelry.
27. 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。
So I will put a stop to the lewdness and prostitution you began in Egypt. You will not look on these things with longing or remember Egypt anymore.
28. 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。
"For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am about to hand you over to those you hate, to those you turned away from in disgust.
29. 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。
They will deal with you in hatred and take away everything you have worked for. They will leave you naked and bare, and the shame of your prostitution will be exposed. Your lewdness and promiscuity
30. 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。
have brought this upon you, because you lusted after the nations and defiled yourself with their idols.
31. 你走了你姐姐所走的路,所以我必将她的杯交在你手中。
You have gone the way of your sister; so I will put her cup into your hand.
32. 主耶和华如此说,你必喝你姐姐所喝的杯。那杯又深又广,盛得甚多,使你被人嗤笑讥刺。
"This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "You will drink your sister's cup, a cup large and deep; it will bring scorn and derision, for it holds so much.
33. 你必酩酊大醉,满有愁苦,喝干你姐姐撒玛利亚的杯,就是令人惊骇凄凉的杯。
You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, the cup of ruin and desolation, the cup of your sister Samaria.
34. 你必喝这杯,以致喝尽。杯破又龈杯片,撕裂自己的乳。因为这事我曾说过。这是主耶和华说的。
You will drink it and drain it dry; you will dash it to pieces and tear your breasts. I have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD.
35. 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。
"Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Since you have forgotten me and thrust me behind your back, you must bear the consequences of your lewdness and prostitution."
36. 耶和华又对我说,人子阿,你要审问阿荷拉与阿荷利巴吗?当指出她们所行可憎的事。
The LORD said to me: "Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then confront them with their detestable practices,
37. 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。
for they have committed adultery and blood is on their hands. They committed adultery with their idols; they even sacrificed their children, whom they bore to me, as food for them.
38. 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。
They have also done this to me: At that same time they defiled my sanctuary and desecrated my Sabbaths.
39. 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。
On the very day they sacrificed their children to their idols, they entered my sanctuary and desecrated it. That is what they did in my house.
40. 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,
"They even sent messengers for men who came from far away, and when they arrived you bathed yourself for them, painted your eyes and put on your jewelry.
41. 坐在华美的床上,前面摆设桌案,将我的香料膏油摆在其上。
You sat on an elegant couch, with a table spread before it on which you had placed the incense and oil that belonged to me.
42. 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。
"The noise of a carefree crowd was around her; Sabeans were brought from the desert along with men from the rabble, and they put bracelets on the arms of the woman and her sister and beautiful crowns on their heads.
43. 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。
Then I said about the one worn out by adultery, 'Now let them use her as a prostitute, for that is all she is.'
44. 人与阿荷拉,并阿荷利巴二淫妇苟合,好像与妓女苟合。
And they slept with her. As men sleep with a prostitute, so they slept with those lewd women, Oholah and Oholibah.
45. 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。
But righteous men will sentence them to the punishment of women who commit adultery and shed blood, because they are adulterous and blood is on their hands.
46. 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。
"This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Bring a mob against them and give them over to terror and plunder.
47. 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。
The mob will stone them and cut them down with their swords; they will kill their sons and daughters and burn down their houses.
48. 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。
"So I will put an end to lewdness in the land, that all women may take warning and not imitate you.
49. 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。
You will suffer the penalty for your lewdness and bear the consequences of your sins of idolatry. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign LORD."
