以西結書 16
1 耶和華的話又臨到我說：
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 「人子啊，你要使耶路撒冷知道她那些可憎的事，
Son of man, make clear to Jerusalem her disgusting ways,
3 說主耶和華對耶路撒冷如此說：你根本，你出世，是在迦南地；你父親是亞摩利人，你母親是赫人。
And say, This is what the Lord has said to Jerusalem: Your start and your birth was from the land of the Canaanite; an Amorite was your father and your mother was a Hittite.
4 論到你出世的景況，在你初生的日子沒有為你斷臍帶，也沒有用水洗你，使你潔淨，絲毫沒有撒鹽在你身上，也沒有用布裹你。
As for your birth, on the day of your birth your cord was not cut and you were not washed in water to make you clean; you were not salted or folded in linen bands.
5 誰的眼也不可憐你，為你做一件這樣的事憐恤你；但你初生的日子扔在田野，是因你被厭惡。
No eye had pity on you to do any of these things to you or to be kind to you; but you were put out into the open country, because your life was hated at the time of your birth.
6 「我從你旁邊經過，見你滾在血中，就對你說：你雖在血中，仍可存活；你雖在血中，仍可存活。
And when I went past you and saw you stretched out in your blood, I said to you, Though you are stretched out in your blood, have life;
7 我使你生長好像田間所長的，你就漸漸長大，以致極其俊美，兩乳成形，頭髮長成，你卻仍然赤身露體。
And be increased in number like the buds of the field; and you were increased and became great, and you came to the time of love: your breasts were formed and your hair was long; but you were uncovered and without clothing.
8 「我從你旁邊經過，看見你的時候正動愛情，便用衣襟搭在你身上，遮蓋你的赤體；又向你起誓，與你結盟，你就歸於我。這是主耶和華說的。
Now when I went past you, looking at you, I saw that your time was the time of love; and I put my skirts over you, covering your unclothed body: and I gave you my oath and made an agreement with you, says the Lord, and you became mine.
9 那時我用水洗你，洗淨你身上的血，又用油抹你。
Then I had you washed with water, washing away all your blood and rubbing you with oil.
10 我也使你身穿繡花衣服，腳穿海狗皮鞋，並用細麻布給你束腰，用絲綢為衣披在你身上，
And I had you clothed with needlework, and put leather shoes on your feet, folding fair linen about you and covering you with silk.
11 又用妝飾打扮你，將鐲子戴在你手上，將金鍊戴在你項上。
And I made you fair with ornaments and put jewels on your hands and a chain on your neck.
12 我也將環子戴在你鼻子上，將耳環戴在你耳朵上，將華冠戴在你頭上。
And I put a ring in your nose and ear-rings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.
13 這樣，你就有金銀的妝飾，穿的是細麻衣和絲綢，並繡花衣；吃的是細麵、蜂蜜，並油。你也極其美貌，發達到王后的尊榮。
So you were made beautiful with gold and silver; and your clothing was of the best linen and silk and needlework; your food was the best meal and honey and oil: and you were very beautiful.
14 你美貌的名聲傳在列邦中，你十分美貌，是因我加在你身上的威榮。這是主耶和華說的。
You were so beautiful that the story of you went out into all nations; you were completely beautiful because of my glory which I had put on you, says the Lord.
15 「只是你仗着自己的美貌，又因你的名聲就行邪淫。你縱情淫亂，使過路的任意而行。
But you put your faith in the fact that you were beautiful, acting like a loose woman because you were widely talked of, and offering your cheap love to everyone who went by, whoever it might be.
16 你用衣服為自己在高處結彩，在其上行邪淫。這樣的事將來必沒有，也必不再行了。
And you took your robes and made high places for yourself ornamented with every colour, acting like a loose woman on them, without shame or fear.
17 你又將我所給你那華美的金銀、寶器為自己製造人像，與他行邪淫；
And you took the fair jewels, my silver and gold which I had given to you, and made for yourself male images, acting like a loose woman with them;
18 又用你的繡花衣服給他披上，並將我的膏油和香料擺在他跟前；
And you took your robes of needlework for their clothing, and put my oil and my perfume before them.
19 又將我賜給你的食物，就是我賜給你吃的細麵、油，和蜂蜜，都擺在他跟前為馨香的供物。這是主耶和華說的。
And my bread which I gave you, the best meal and oil and honey which I gave you for your food, you put it before them for a sweet smell, says the Lord.
20 並且你將給我所生的兒女焚獻給他。
And you took your sons and your daughters whom I had by you, offering even these to them to be their food. Was your loose behaviour so small a thing,
21 你行淫亂豈是小事，竟將我的兒女殺了，使他們經火歸與他嗎？
That you put my children to death and gave them up to go through the fire to them?
22 你行這一切可憎和淫亂的事，並未追念你幼年赤身露體滾在血中的日子。」
And in all your disgusting and false behaviour you had no memory of your early days, when you were uncovered and without clothing, stretched out in your blood.
23 「你行這一切惡事之後（主耶和華說：你有禍了！有禍了！）
And it came about, after all your evil-doing, says the Lord,
24 又為自己建造圓頂花樓，在各街上做了高臺。
That you made for yourself an arched room in every open place.
25 你在一切市口上建造高臺，使你的美貌變為可憎的，又與一切過路的多行淫亂。
You put up your high places at the top of every street, and made the grace of your form a disgusting thing, opening your feet to everyone who went by, increasing your loose ways.
26 你也和你鄰邦放縱情慾的埃及人行淫，加增你的淫亂，惹我發怒。
And you went with the Egyptians, your neighbours, great of flesh; increasing your loose ways, moving me to wrath.
27 因此我伸手攻擊你，減少你應用的糧食，又將你交給恨你的非利士眾女，使她們任意待你。她們見你的淫行，為你羞恥。
Now, then, my hand is stretched out against you, cutting down your fixed amount, and I have given you up to the desire of your haters, the daughters of the Philistines who are shamed by your loose ways.
28 你因貪色無厭，又與亞述人行淫，與他們行淫之後，仍不滿意，
And you went with the Assyrians, because of your desire which was without measure; you were acting like a loose woman with them, and still you had not enough.
29 並且多行淫亂，直到那貿易之地，就是迦勒底，你仍不滿意。
And you went on in your loose ways, even as far as the land of Chaldaea, and still you had not enough.
30 「主耶和華說：你行這一切事，都是不知羞恥妓女所行的，可見你的心是何等懦弱！
How feeble is your heart, says the Lord, seeing that you do all these things, the work of a loose and overruling woman;
31 因你在一切市口上建造圓頂花樓，在各街上做了高臺，你卻藐視賞賜，不像妓女。
For you have made your arched room at the top of every street, and your high place in every open place; though you were not like a loose woman in getting together your payment.
32 哎！你這行淫的妻啊，寧肯接外人，不接丈夫。
The untrue wife who takes strange lovers in place of her husband!
33 凡妓女是得人贈送，你反倒贈送你所愛的人，賄賂他們從四圍來與你行淫。
They give payment to all loose women: but you give rewards to your lovers, offering them payment so that they may come to you on every side for your cheap love.
34 你行淫與別的婦女相反，因為不是人從你行淫；你既贈送人，人並不贈送你；所以你與別的婦女相反。」
And in your loose behaviour you are different from other women, for no one goes after you to make love to you: and because you give payment and no payment is given to you, in this you are different from them.
35 「你這妓女啊，要聽耶和華的話。
For this cause, O loose woman, give ear to the voice of the Lord:
36 主耶和華如此說：因你的污穢傾洩了，你與你所愛的行淫露出下體，又因你拜一切可憎的偶像，流兒女的血獻給他，
This is what the Lord has said: Because your unclean behaviour was let loose and your body uncovered in your loose ways with your lovers and with your disgusting images, and for the blood of your children which you gave to them;
37 我就要將你一切相歡相愛的和你一切所恨的都聚集來，從四圍攻擊你；又將你的下體露出，使他們看盡了。
For this cause I will get together all your lovers with whom you have taken your pleasure, and all those to whom you have given your love, with all those who were hated by you; I will even make them come together against you on every side, and I will have you uncovered before them so that they may see your shame.
38 我也要審判你，好像官長審判淫婦和流人血的婦女一樣。我因忿怒忌恨，使流血的罪歸到你身上。
And you will be judged by me as women are judged who have been untrue to their husbands and have taken life; and I will let loose against you passion and bitter feeling.
39 我又要將你交在他們手中；他們必拆毀你的圓頂花樓，毀壞你的高臺，剝去你的衣服，奪取你的華美寶器，留下你赤身露體。
I will give you into their hands, and your arched room will be overturned and your high places broken down; they will take your clothing off you and take away your fair jewels: and when they have done, you will be uncovered and shamed.
40 他們也必帶多人來攻擊你，用石頭打死你，用刀劍刺透你，
And they will get together a meeting against you, stoning you with stones and wounding you with their swords.
41 用火焚燒你的房屋，在許多婦人眼前向你施行審判。我必使你不再行淫，也不再贈送與人。
And they will have you burned with fire, sending punishments on you before the eyes of great numbers of women; and I will put an end to your loose ways, and you will no longer give payment.
42 這樣，我就止息向你發的忿怒，我的忌恨也要離開你，我要安靜不再惱怒。
And the heat of my wrath against you will have an end, and my bitter feeling will be turned away from you, and I will be quiet and will be angry no longer.
43 因你不追念你幼年的日子，在這一切的事上向我發烈怒，所以我必照你所行的報應在你頭上，你就不再貪淫，行那一切可憎的事。這是主耶和華說的。」
Because you have not kept in mind the days when you were young, but have been troubling me with all these things; for this reason I will make the punishment of your ways come on your head, says the Lord, because you have done this evil thing in addition to all your disgusting acts.
44 「凡說俗語的必用俗語攻擊你，說：『母親怎樣，女兒也怎樣。』
See, in every common saying about you it will be said, As the mother is, so is her daughter.
45 你正是你母親的女兒，厭棄丈夫和兒女；你正是你姊妹的姊妹，厭棄丈夫和兒女。你母親是赫人，你父親是亞摩利人。
You are the daughter of your mother whose soul is turned in disgust from her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters who were turned in disgust from their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.
46 你的姊姊是撒馬利亞，她和她的眾女住在你左邊；你的妹妹是所多瑪，她和她的眾女住在你右邊。
Your older sister is Samaria, living at your left hand, she and her daughters: and your younger sister, living at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
47 你沒有效法她們的行為，也沒有照她們可憎的事去做，你以那為小事，你一切所行的倒比她們更壞。
Still you have not gone in their ways or done the disgusting things which they have done; but, as if that was only a little thing, you have gone deeper in evil than they in all your ways.
48 主耶和華說：我指着我的永生起誓，你妹妹所多瑪與她的眾女尚未行你和你眾女所行的事。
By my life, says the Lord, Sodom your sister never did, she or her daughters, what you and your daughters have done.
49 看哪，你妹妹所多瑪的罪孽是這樣：她和她的眾女都心驕氣傲，糧食飽足，大享安逸，並沒有扶助困苦和窮乏人的手。
Truly, this was the sin of your sister Sodom: pride, a full measure of food, and the comforts of wealth in peace, were seen in her and her daughters, and she gave no help to the poor or to those in need.
50 她們狂傲，在我面前行可憎的事，我看見便將她們除掉。
They were full of pride and did what was disgusting to me: and so I took them away as you have seen.
51 撒馬利亞沒有犯你一半的罪，你行可憎的事比她更多，使你的姊妹因你所行一切可憎的事，倒顯為義。
And Samaria has not done half your sins; but you have made the number of your disgusting acts greater than theirs, making your sisters seem more upright than you by all the disgusting things which you have done.
52 你既斷定你姊妹為義，就要擔當自己的羞辱；因你所犯的罪比她們更為可憎，她們就比你更顯為義；你既使你的姊妹顯為義，你就要抱愧擔當自己的羞辱。」
And you yourself will be put to shame, in that you have given the decision for your sisters; through your sins, which are more disgusting than theirs, they are more upright than you: truly, you will be shamed and made low, for you have made your sisters seem upright.
53 「我必叫她們被擄的歸回，就是叫所多瑪和她的眾女，撒馬利亞和她的眾女，並你們中間被擄的，都要歸回，
And I will let their fate be changed, the fate of Sodom and her daughters, and the fate of Samaria and her daughters, and your fate with theirs.
54 好使你擔當自己的羞辱，並因你一切所行的使她們得安慰，你就抱愧。
So that you will be shamed and made low because of all you have done, when I have mercy on you.
55 你的妹妹所多瑪和她的眾女必歸回原位；撒馬利亞和她的眾女，你和你的眾女，也必歸回原位。
And your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will go back to their first condition, and Samaria and her daughters will go back to their first condition, and you and your daughters will go back to your first condition.
56 在你驕傲的日子，你的惡行沒有顯露以先，你的口就不提你的妹妹所多瑪。那受了凌辱的亞蘭眾女和亞蘭四圍非利士的眾女都恨惡你，藐視你。
Was not your sister Sodom an oath in your mouth in the day of your pride,
Before your shame was uncovered? Now you have become like her a word of shame to the daughters of Edom and all who are round about you, the daughters of the Philistines who put shame on you round about.
58 耶和華說：你貪淫和可憎的事，你已經擔當了。」
The reward of your evil designs and your disgusting ways has come on you, says the Lord.
59 「主耶和華如此說：你這輕看誓言、背棄盟約的，我必照你所行的待你。
For this is what the Lord has said: I will do to you as you have done, you who, putting the oath on one side, have let the agreement be broken.
60 然而我要追念在你幼年時與你所立的約，也要與你立定永約。
But still I will keep in mind the agreement made with you in the days when you were young, and I will make with you an eternal agreement.
61 你接待你姊姊和你妹妹的時候，你要追念你所行的，自覺慚愧；並且我要將她們賜你為女兒，卻不是按着前約。
Then at the memory of your ways you will be overcome with shame, when I take your sisters, the older and the younger, and give them to you for daughters, but not by your agreement.
62 我要堅定與你所立的約（你就知道我是耶和華），
And I will make my agreement with you; and you will be certain that I am the Lord:
63 好使你在我赦免你一切所行的時候，心裏追念，自覺抱愧，又因你的羞辱就不再開口。這是主耶和華說的。」
So that, at the memory of these things, you may be at a loss, never opening your mouth because of your shame; when you have my forgiveness for all you have done, says the Lord.
