Ezekiel 16
1 Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
耶和華的話又臨到我說：
2 “Son of man, challenge Jerusalem over her disgusting practices.
「人子啊，你要使耶路撒冷知道她那些可憎的事，
3 Tell Jerusalem that this is what the Lord God says to her: You really are a Canaanite, both by your birth and parentage. Your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a Hittite.
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。
4 On the day you were born your cord was not cut, and you weren't washed to clean you up, you weren't rubbed with salt, and you weren't wrapped in cloths.
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。
5 No one looked on you with love to do anything like this for you; no one showed any kind of care for you. No, you were thrown away in a field, abandoned and despised from the day you were born.
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。
6 But I passed by and saw you kicking, covered in your own blood. As you were lying there in your blood I told you, ‘I want you to live!’ I said to you right there, ‘I want you to live!’
「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。
7 I help you to grow like a plant in the field. You grew up into a beautiful young woman. Your breasts developed and your body hair grew, and you were completely naked.
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。
8 When I passed by again, I looked at you and saw that you were old enough for lovemaking. So I spread my robe over you and covered up your naked body. I committed myself to you and made a solemn agreement with you, and made you mine, declares the Lord God.
「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。
9 Then I washed you with water, cleaned off your blood, and anointed you with oil.
那時我用水洗你，洗淨你身上的血，又用油抹你。
10 I put a beautifully embroidered dress on you and gave you fine leather sandals. I clothed you in fine linen and covered you with silk.
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，
11 I gave you jewelry—I put bracelets on your wrists and a necklace around your neck.
又用妝飾打扮你，將鐲子戴在你手上，將金鍊戴在你項上。
12 I put a ring in your nose and earrings on your ears, and placed a beautiful crown on your head.
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。
13 You wore gold and silver jewelry, and your clothes were made of the finest linen, expensive fabric, and embroidered cloth. You ate bread made with the best flour, and honey and olive oil. You grew even more beautiful and became a queen.
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。
14 You were famous around the world because of your beauty, for I used my majestic power to make you so wonderful, declares the Lord God.
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。
15 You were so proud of your beauty that you were unfaithful to me. You thought that because you were so famous you could prostitute yourself and sleep with anyone who passed by. They took your beautiful body for themselves.
「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。
16 You made yourself colorful pagan shrines out of the clothes I'd given you, and there you acted as a prostitute. Things like this have never happened before, and they should never happen in the future!
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。
17 You also used the beautiful gold and silver jewelry I gave you to make male idols and you prostituted yourself with them.
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；
18 You used your embroidered clothes to dress them, and you placed before them my olive oil and incense.
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；
19 You presented the food I had given you as an offering for them to accept —bread made from the best flour, olive oil, and honey that I had provided for you to eat. That's exactly what you did, declares the Lord God.
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。
20 You sacrificed your sons and daughters—the children you had for me—offering them as food for idols to eat. Wasn't your prostitution evil enough?
並且你將給我所生的兒女焚獻給他。
21 You slaughtered my children, sacrificing them to idols.
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？
22 While you were busy with all your disgusting practices and your prostitution, you forgot about the time when you were young, completely naked and lying there kicking in your own blood.
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。」
23 Disaster is coming! Disaster is coming on you, declares the Lord God. As well as all the other evil things you did,
「你行這一切惡事之後（主耶和華說：你有禍了！有禍了！）
24 you built yourself a pagan shrine, a high place of idol worship on every public square in the city.
又為自己建造圓頂花樓，在各街上做了高臺。
25 You made yourselves high places of idol worship at the top of every street; you degraded yourself, offering your beautiful body to anyone who passed by, opening your legs for them, becoming more and more promiscuous.
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。
26 You gave yourself as a prostitute to your Egyptian neighbors with their large sexual organs, making me angry as you became even more promiscuous.
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。
27 So I acted to reduce my blessings to you. I let your enemies the Philistines do what they wanted to you. Even they were embarrassed at your immorality.
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。
28 Because you weren't satisfied you prostituted yourself with the Assyrians. But even then you weren't satisfied.
你因貪色無厭，又與亞述人行淫，與他們行淫之後，仍不滿意，
29 So you took your promiscuous behavior to Babylonia, the country of merchants, but even then you weren't satisfied!
並且多行淫亂，直到那貿易之地，就是迦勒底，你仍不滿意。
30 You're really sick-minded to do all this, acting like a prostitute with no shame, declares the Lord God.
「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！
31 Actually you weren't even a normal prostitute when you built yourselves pagan shrines at the top of every street and high places of idol worship on every public square—because you refused to be paid for your services!
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。
32 You're a wife that loves adultery! You sleep with strangers instead of your husband!
哎！你這行淫的妻啊，寧肯接外人，不接丈夫。
33 Normally all prostitutes are paid, but you were the one giving gifts to all your lovers. You even bribed them to come from all around and have sex with you.
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。
34 So you're the opposite of other prostitutes. No one comes to you asking for sex, and you pay the prostitute's fee instead of receiving it. You're the exact opposite!
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。」
35 So, you prostitute, listen to the message from the Lord!
「你這妓女啊，要聽耶和華的話。
36 This is what the Lord God says: Because you were so crazy with desire you stripped yourself naked and committed adultery with your lovers and with all your disgusting idols, and because you killed your children as sacrifices to those idols,
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，
37 I'm going to bring together all the lovers you went to bed with, whether you loved them or hated them, and I will have them gather from everywhere around and I will strip you as they watch so they will see you totally naked.
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。
38 I will impose on you the punishment for women who commit adultery and those who murder; you will be punished in passionate anger.
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。
39 Then I will hand you over to your lovers, and they will demolish your pagan shrines and destroy your high places of idol worship. They will strip you of your clothes, remove your beautiful jewelry, and leave you stark naked.
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。
40 They will come with a mob to attack you. They will stone you and chop you into pieces with their swords.
他們也必帶多人來攻擊你，用石頭打死你，用刀劍刺透你，
41 They will burn down your houses and punish you while many women watch. I will stop your prostitution, and you won't ever pay your lovers again.
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。
42 Then I will finish being jealous and furious with you. I will calm down and won't be angry any more.
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。
43 Since you didn't remember how I looked after you when you were young, but made me angry with all the things that you did, I will make sure you experience the results of what you've done, declares the Lord God. For this immorality was in addition to all the other disgusting things you did, wasn't it?
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。」
44 Everyone who likes to use proverbs will quote this one about you: ‘Like mother, like daughter.’
「凡說俗語的必用俗語攻擊你，說：『母親怎樣，女兒也怎樣。』
45 You are the daughter of your mother who detested her husband and children. You are just like her! You are the sister of your sisters, just like them who detested their husbands and children. In fact your mother was a Hittite and your father was an Amorite.
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。
46 Your older sister was Samaria, who lived north of you with her daughters. Your younger sister was Sodom, who lived south of you with her daughters.
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。
47 You didn't just follow their ways and do the same disgusting things they did, you very quickly became even worse than them.
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。
48 As I live, declares the Lord God, your sister Sodom and her daughters didn't ever do what you and your daughters have done.
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。
49 The sins of your sister Sodom were these: She and her daughters were proud, greedy, and lazy. They didn't help the poor and those in need.
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。
50 They became arrogant and did disgusting things in my presence. So I got rid of them when I saw this.
她們狂傲，在我面前行可憎的事，我看見便將她們除掉。
51 Samaria didn't sin half as badly as you did. You have done far more disgusting things than they did. In fact, all the revolting things you've done make your sisters look good!
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。
52 Now you're going to have to put up with your shame, since by your disgraceful sins you made them seem far better. Compared to you they look good! Now you too have to put up with your shame and disgrace because you've made your sisters look as if they were good.
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。」
53 Even so I'm going to bring Sodom and her daughters back from exile, and Samaria and her daughters too. I will bring you back together with them.
「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，
54 In this way you will have to put up with your disgrace and be ashamed of all the bad things you did that made them feel better about themselves.
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。
55 Your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, will be restored to what they were before. You and your daughters will also be restored to what you were before.
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。
56 Didn't you mock your sister Sodom when you were feeling proud,
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。
57 before you were shown to be so wicked yourselves? Of course now you are mocked by the Edomites and the surrounding nations, as well as by the Philistines. Everyone around you looks down on you.
58 You will have to experience the consequences of your immorality and your disgusting practices, declares the Lord.
耶和華說：你貪淫和可憎的事，你已經擔當了。」
59 This is what the Lord God says: I'm going to punish you according to your sins, because you treated the promise you made with contempt by breaking the agreement.
「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。
60 But I won't forget the agreement I made with you when you were young, and I will make an everlasting agreement with you.
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。
61 Then you will remember the way you are meant to live and be ashamed when you meet your older and younger sisters when they return to you. I will give them to you as daughters, even though this was not part of our original agreement.
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。
62 This is how I will endorse my agreement with you, and you will know that I am the Lord,
我要堅定與你所立的約（你就知道我是耶和華），
63 so that you will remember and be ashamed, and won't ever defend your disgraceful behavior when I forgive you for everything you've done, declares the Lord God.”
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。」
