以西結書 16
1 上主的話傳給我說：「
Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2 人子，你要去使耶路撒冷知道她的一切醜惡!
“Son of man, inform Jerusalem about her abominations,
3 你要宣講說：吾主上主這樣對耶路撒冷說：你的起源和來歷是出自客納罕地，你的父親是阿摩黎人，你的母親是赫特人。
and declare, 'The Lord Yahweh says this to Jerusalem: Your beginning and your birth took place in the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a Hittite.
4 當你出生時，在你誕生的那一天，沒有人割斷你的臍帶，用水洗淨你，用鹽擦你，用襁褓裹你；
On the day of your birth, your mother did not cut your navel, nor did she purify you in water or rub you down with salt, or wrap cloth around you.
5 沒有一個人憐視你，為你做一件上述的事，對你表同情。反之，在你誕生之日，因為你惹人討厭，就把你拋棄在田野間。
No eye had compassion for you to do any of these things for you, to be compassionate toward you. On the day that you were born, with loathing for your life, you were thrown out into the open field.
6 我從你身旁經過時，見你輾轉在血污中，就向你說：你在血中生活罷!
But I passed by you, and I saw you writhing in your own blood; so I said to you in your blood, “Live!” I said to you in your blood, “Live!”
7 生長有如田野間的花草。你遂漸漸發育長大，到了青春年華，你的乳房碩壯，頭髮蔓長，但還是赤身裸體。
I made you grow like a plant in a field. You multiplied and became great, and you became the jewel of jewels. Your breasts became firm, and your hair grew thick, though you had been naked and bare.
8 我又經過你身旁時，看見了你，見你的時期即懷春期到了，我就向你展開了我的衣襟，遮蓋了你得裸體，也向你發了誓，立了約──吾主上主的斷語──你遂成了我的。
I passed by you again, and I saw you. See! the time of love came for you, so I spread my robe over you and covered your nakedness. Then I swore to you and brought you into a covenant—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—and you became mine.
9 我用水洗淨了你，滌除了你身上的血污；又用香膏傅抹了你，
So I washed you with water and rinsed your blood off you, and I anointed you with oil.
10 給你穿上錦繡的衣服，穿上海狗皮鞋，蒙上細麻頭巾，披上綢緞；
I dressed you in embroidered clothes and placed leather sandals on your feet. I wrapped you with fine linen and covered you with silk.
11 以後又用珠寶裝飾你，給你腕上帶上鐲子，頸上掛上項鏈，
Next I adorned you with jewelry, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain around your neck.
12 鼻子上套上環子，耳朵掛上金環，頭上戴上花冠。
I put a nose ring in your nostrils and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.
13 金銀作你的點綴，細麻、綢緞和錦繡作你的衣服；細麵、蜂蜜和油作你的飲食。你實在美麗絕倫，堪登后位。
So you were adorned with gold and silver, and you were dressed in fine linen, silk, and embroidered clothes; you ate fine flour, honey, and oil, and you were very beautiful, and you became a queen.
14 因你的美麗，你的名聲傳遍了萬國；因我用我的飾物點綴了你，你才如此美麗無瑕──吾主上主的斷語。
Your fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect in the majesty that I had given to you—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
15 然而你仗恃你的美麗，憑著你的名聲去行淫，與任何過客縱情淫亂。
But you trusted in your own beauty, and you acted like a prostitute because of your fame; you poured out your acts of prostitution on everyone who passed by, so that your beauty became his.
16 你還用你的衣服，作為高丘的點綴，為在那裏行淫。
Then you took your clothes and with them you made high places for yourself decorated in various colors, and there you acted like a prostitute. This should not have happened. Nor should such a thing exist.
17 又用我給你的金銀飾物，製造男人的像，同它們行淫；
You took the fine jewels of the gold and silver that I gave you, and you made for yourself male figures, and you did with them as a prostitute would do.
18 又將錦繡衣服，給它們穿上，把我給你的油和香料，供在它們前。
You took your embroidered garments and covered them, and you set my oils and perfumes before them.
19 我給你的食品：細麵、油和蜜，原是為養活你的，你卻拿去供在它們前，作為甘飴的馨香──吾主上主的斷語──
My bread I gave you—made with fine flour, oil, and honey—you set before them for a fragrant aroma, for this is what happened—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
20 甚至你還祭殺你給我生的子女，作為它們的食品。你這淫行還算小嗎﹖
Then you took your sons and daughters whom you bore for me, and you sacrificed them to the images to be devoured as food. Are your acts of prostitution a small matter?
21 你竟祭殺了我的子女，予以焚化，獻給它們。
You slaughtered my children to the idols and made them pass through the fire.
22 你行這些醜惡和淫亂之事時，卻沒有想起你幼年的時期，那時你本來赤身露體，輾轉在血污中。
In all your abominations and your acts of prostitution you have not thought about the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare as you thrashed about in your blood.
23 你除了行這一切邪惡之外──你有禍了，你有禍了，吾主上主的斷語──
Woe! Woe to you!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—therefore, in addition to all this wickedness,
24 你還為自己建築高台，在各街上建立丘壇。
you built yourself a vaulted chamber in every public place.
25 又在所有的街頭設立丘壇，去損害你的美麗，把你的腳伸向所有過客，縱情淫亂；
You built your high place at the head of every road and made your beauty a disgrace, and you spread your legs to anyone who passed by, and you multiplied your acts of prostitution.
26 又與你那身體肥大的鄰居埃及人行淫；你盡情淫蕩，激起我的怒火。
You have acted like a prostitute with the Egyptians, your lustful neighbors, and you committed many more acts of prostitution, provoking me to anger.
27 我曾伸手打擊你，削減了你的供應品，把你交給那仇恨你的培肋舍特城邑，她們對你那淫蕩的行為都感到羞恥。
See! I will strike you with my hand and cut off your food. I will hand your life over to your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your obscene behavior.
28 因你還不滿足，又與亞述人行淫；與他們行淫之後，仍未獲得滿足，
You have acted like a prostitute with the Assyrians because you could not be satisfied. You acted like a prostitute and still were not satisfied.
29 又與商業之國的加色丁人縱慾淫亂，但你仍得不到滿足。
You performed many more acts of prostitution in the land of the merchants of Chaldea, and even this did not satisfy you.
30 你的心是何等的腐化──吾主上主的斷語──你行的這一切，簡直是無恥娼婦之所為!
How sick is your heart—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—that you would do all these things, deeds of a shameless prostitute?
31 你在各街頭為你建築高台，在各廣場上建立丘壇，但你並不像娼妓只為獲得淫資，
You have built your high places at the head of every street and made your vaulted chamber in every public place. Yet you were not like a prostitute because you refused to take payment.
32 卻是一個淫婦，雖有丈夫，仍接納外人。
You adulterous woman, you accept strangers instead of your husband.
33 對妓女都給以纏頭，但你卻把纏頭給你的情人，吸引他們從各方來與你行淫。
People give payment to every prostitute, but you give your wages to all your lovers and bribe them to come to you from all around for your acts of prostitution.
34 關於你，你行淫正與其他婦女相反，沒有人追求你行淫，人不給你淫資，而你卻拿出淫資給人：這就是你與人相反的地方。
So there is a difference between you and those other women, since no one goes to you to ask you to sleep with them. Instead, you pay them. No one pays you.
35 為此，你這淫婦，聽上主的話罷!
Therefore, you prostitute, listen to the word of Yahweh.
36 吾主上主這樣說：因為你暴露了你的下身，揭開了你的裸體，同你的情人，同你的醜惡之神行淫，更因為你把子女的血獻給它們；
The Lord Yahweh says this: Because you have poured out your lust and uncovered your nakedness through your acts of prostitution with your lovers and with all your detestable idols, and because you gave them your children's blood,
37 為此，看，我要聚集你所戀愛的情人，你所愛的人，和你所恨的人；我由各方把他們聚集來打擊你，我要在他們前揭開你的裸體，使他們看見你整個的裸體。
therefore, behold, I will gather all your lovers that you have met, all those whom you loved and all those whom you hated, and I will gather them against you on every side. I will uncover your nakedness to them so they see all your nakedness.
38 我要照姦婦和流血的女人的案件裁判你，對你發洩憤怒和妒火。
For I will punish you for adultery and the shedding of blood, and I will bring on you the bloodshed of my anger and passion.
39 我要把你交在他們手中，他們要破壞你的高台，蕩平你的丘壇，剝下你的衣服，奪去你的裝飾，赤身露體地拋棄你。
I will give you into their hands so they will throw down your vaulted chamber and break down your high places and they will strip you of your clothes and take all of your jewelry. They will leave you naked and bare.
40 他們還要召集聯軍來攻打你，用石頭砸死你，用刀劍把你凌遲，
Then they will bring up a crowd against you and stone you with stones, and they will cut you apart with their swords.
41 放火燒你的房舍，在眾婦女前裁判你。我要這樣停止你的淫亂，使你再也不能贈送淫資。
They will burn your houses and will perform many acts of punishment on you in the sight of many women, for I will put a stop to your prostitution, and you will no longer pay your lovers.
42 如此，我就平息了我向你發的憤怒，我的妒火也要遠離你，我要寧靜，不再發怒。
Then I will calm my fury against you; my anger will leave you, for I will be satisfied, and will no longer be angry.
43 因為你不追念你幼年的日子，反在這些事上惹我憤怒；看，我要把你的行為報復在你頭上──吾主上主的斷語──使你再不與你所有的醜惡之物行淫。
Because you did not call to mind the days of your youth and have made me shake with anger because of all these things, therefore, behold! I myself will bring down on your own head the punishment for what you have done—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration. Have you not added prostitution to all your other detestable practices?
44 凡說格言的必以格言指著你說：有其母，必有其女!
Behold! Everyone who speaks proverbs concerning you will say, “As the mother is, so also is her daughter.”
45 你真不愧是你母親的女兒，因為她憎嫌了自己的丈夫和子女；你也不愧是你姊妹們的姊妹，因為她們也憎嫌了自己的丈夫和子女；你們的母親是赫特人，你們的父親是阿摩黎人﹖
You are the daughter of your mother, who detested her husband and her children, and you are the sister of your sisters who detested their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father was an Amorite.
46 你的姐姐是撒瑪黎雅，她和她所有的女兒住在你的北面；你的妹妹是索多瑪，她和她所有的女兒住在你的南面。
Your older sister was Samaria and her daughters were the ones living in the north, while your younger sister was the one living south of you, that is, Sodom and her daughters.
47 你沒有走她們所走的路，沒有行她們所行的醜事，為時很短；但後來你在你的一切行為上比她們更壞。
You not only walked in their ways and copied their behavior and practices, but in all your ways you have been worse than they were.
48 我指著我的生命起誓──吾主上主的斷語──你的妹妹索多瑪和她的女兒沒有行過像你和你的女兒們所行的事。
As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—your sister Sodom and her daughters, have not done as much evil as you and your daughters have done.
49 你的妹妹索多瑪的罪惡是：她和她的女兒生活奢華，飲食豐富，安享太平，卻沒有伸手扶助遭難和貧窮的人，
Behold! This was the sin of your sister Sodom that she was arrogant in her leisure, careless and unconcerned about anything. She did not strengthen the hands of the poor and needy people.
50 妄自尊大，在我面前行了醜惡的事；我一看見，就把她們予以消除。
She was arrogant and committed disgusting actions before me, so I took them away just as you have seen.
51 連撒瑪黎雅也沒有犯過你一半的罪過，你行的敗德之事更甚於她們；由於你行了這樣多的醜惡，使你的姐姐卻顯得比你更正義。
Neither did Samaria commit even half of your sins; instead, you have done many more disgusting things than they did, and you have shown that your sisters were better than you because of all the disgusting things that you do!
52 現今，你應當承受你罪惡的羞辱，因為你好像為了你的姊妹作了擔保人，因為你所犯的罪過比她們犯的更重，使她們顯得比你更正義；現今，你應當害羞，承受羞辱，因為你使你的姊妹顯得更正義。
Especially you, show your own shame; in this way you have shown that your sisters were better than you, because of the sins you committed in all those disgusting ways. Your sisters now seem better than you. Especially you, show your own shame, for in this way you have shown that your sisters were better than you.
53 我要改變她們的命運：即索多瑪和她女兒們的命運，撒瑪黎雅和她女兒們的命運，同時我也改變你在她們中的命運；
For I will restore their fortunes—the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters, and the fortunes of Samaria and her daughters; but your fortunes will be among them.
54 為叫你承受你應受的羞辱時，你對自己所行的一切自覺慚愧，可使她們略得寬慰。
On account of these things you will show your shame; you will be humiliated because of everything that you have done, and in this way you will be a comfort to them.
55 那時你的妹妹索多瑪和她的女兒們，要恢復原狀，撒瑪黎雅和她的女兒們也要恢復原狀，同時你和你的女兒也要恢復原狀。
So your sister Sodom and her daughters will be restored to their former condition, and Samaria and her daughters will be restored to their former estate. Then you and your daughters will be restored to your former condition.
56 當你心高氣傲時，你的妹妹索多瑪在你的口中不是有過臭名嗎﹖
Sodom your sister was not even mentioned by your mouth in the days when you were proud,
57 但這是在暴露你的裸體之前。現今你卻成了厄東的女兒們及其四鄰，並培肋舍特的女兒們辱罵的對象，她們在四周都嘲笑你。
before your wickedness was revealed. But now you are an object of scorn to the daughters of Edom and to all the daughters of the Philistines around her. People all about despise you.
58 你應承當你淫蕩和醜行的報應──吾主上主的斷語──
You will show your shame and your disgusting actions!—this is Yahweh's declaration!
59 吾主上主這樣說：因為你輕視了誓言，破壞了盟約，我要照你所行的對待你；
The Lord Yahweh says this: I will deal with you as you deserve, you who have despised your oath by breaking the covenant.
60 然而我還紀念同你在你青年的時日所立的盟約，並且還要同你結一個永久的盟約。
But I myself will call to mind my covenant with you made in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
61 當你收納比你年長的姐姐和比你年幼的妹妹，我把她們交給你作你的女兒時，你要想起你的行為，自覺羞愧，但這並不是出於與你所立的盟約。
Then you will call to mind your ways and be ashamed when you receive your older sisters and your younger sisters. I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of your covenant.
62 我要與你重訂盟約，你要承認我是上主，
I myself will establish my covenant with you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
63 為的是當我寬恕你所行的一切時，你一回想就慚愧，面對這恥辱再不敢開口──吾主上主的斷語。」
Because of these things, you will call everything to mind and be ashamed, so you will no longer open your mouth to speak because of your shame, when I have forgiven you for all that you have done—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”
