¹兩個淫亂姊妹的比喻耶和華的話又臨到我說：

¹The word of Yahweh came again to me, saying,

²“人子啊！有兩個女人，都是同一個母親生的。

²Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:

³她們在埃及行邪淫，在幼年的時候行了邪淫，在那裡她們的胸被人撫摩；在那裡她們處女的乳房被人撫弄。

³and they played the prostitute in Egypt; they played the prostitute in their youth; there were their breasts pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity.

⁴姊姊的名字是阿荷拉，妹妹的名字是阿荷利巴；她們都嫁了給我，並且生了兒女。論到她們的名字，阿荷拉就是撒瑪利亞，阿荷利巴就是耶路撒冷。

⁴Their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.

⁵“阿荷拉嫁了我以後仍行邪淫，戀慕她的愛人，就是亞述的戰士。

⁵Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,

⁶他們穿著紫色衣服，是作總督和省長的；他們都是英俊的年輕人，是騎著馬的騎兵。

⁶who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.

⁷阿荷拉與這些亞述人中最美的男子行邪淫；她因自己所戀慕的每一個人和這些人的偶像玷污了自己。

⁷She bestowed her prostitution on them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and on whoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself.

⁸她沒有離棄在埃及時的淫亂；那時她年幼，人與她同睡，撫弄她處女的乳房，把他們的情慾發洩在她身上。

⁸Neither has she left her prostitution since the days of Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity; and they poured out their prostitution on her.

⁹因此我把她交在她的愛人手裡，就是她所戀慕的亞述人手裡。

⁹Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.

¹⁰這些人露出她的下體，擄去她的兒女，用刀殺了她，使她在婦女中有了臭名，因為他們向她施行懲罰。

¹⁰These uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters; and her they killed with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments on her.

¹¹“她妹妹阿荷利巴雖然看見了，卻在自己情慾的事情上比姊姊更腐敗，她的淫亂比姊姊的淫亂更甚。

¹¹Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her prostitution which were more than the prostitution of her sister.

¹²她貪戀亞述人，就是作總督和省長，穿著華美衣服的戰士，騎著馬的騎兵，全都是英俊的年輕人。

¹²She doted on the Assyrians, governors and rulers, her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.

¹³我看見她被玷污了；她們姊妹兩人所行的路都是一樣。

¹³I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way.

¹⁴阿荷利巴又繼續行淫；她看見畫在牆上的人像，就是用鮮紅的顏料所畫的迦勒底人像，

¹⁴She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,

¹⁵這些像的腰間束著腰帶，頭上有下垂的裹頭巾，他們看來像官長，有巴比倫人的樣子，迦勒底是他們出生之地。

¹⁵dressed with girdles on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them princes to look on, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.

¹⁶阿荷利巴的眼一看見，就戀慕他們，派遣使者到迦勒底去見他們。

¹⁶As soon as she saw them she doted on them, and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.

¹⁷於是巴比倫人來，上了她愛情的床，與她行淫玷污了她；她被他們玷污以後，心就與他們疏遠。

¹⁷The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their prostitution, and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.

¹⁸她既然顯露了她的淫行，露出了自己的下體，我的心就與她疏遠，好像我的心從前與她姊姊疏遠一樣。

¹⁸So she uncovered her prostitution, and uncovered her nakedness: then my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister.

¹⁹她還加倍行淫，懷念她幼年在埃及地行淫的日子。

¹⁹Yet she multiplied her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute in the land of Egypt.

²⁰她戀慕她的情人，他們的下體像驢的下體；他們射精像馬一樣。

²⁰She doted on their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

²¹這樣，你就渴想你幼年時的淫蕩；那時，埃及人撫弄過你的乳房，撫摩你年幼時的胸。

²¹Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the handling of your bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of your youth.

²²“因此，阿荷利巴啊！主耶和華這樣說：‘看哪！我必激動你的愛人攻擊你，就是你心所疏遠的人；我必帶他們來從四面攻擊你。

²²Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the Lord Yahweh: 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:

²³他們就是巴比倫人、迦勒底人、比割人、書亞人、哥亞人，與他們一起的還有亞述人，他們都是英俊的年輕人，是作總督和省長的，作長官和戰士的，全部都是騎馬的。

²³the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; desirable young men, governors and rulers all of them, princes and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.

²⁴他們必帶著兵器、馬車、戰車和大隊人來攻擊你；他們要拿著大小盾牌，戴著頭盔，從四面擺陣攻擊你；我要把審判的事交給他們，他們必按著自己的慣例來審判你。

²⁴They shall come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples; they shall set themselves against you with buckler and shield and helmet all around; and I will commit the judgment to them, and they shall judge you according to their judgments.

²⁵我必向你發洩我的妒忿，他們必以烈怒待你；割去你的鼻子和耳朵；你餘下的人必倒在刀下；他們要擄去你的兒女；你餘下的人必被火吞吃。

²⁵I will set my jealousy against you, and they shall deal with you in fury; they shall take away your nose and your ears; and your residue shall fall by the sword: they shall take your sons and your daughters; and your residue shall be devoured by the fire.

²⁶他們必剝去你的衣服，奪去你華麗的飾物。

²⁶They shall also strip you of your clothes, and take away your beautiful jewels.

²⁷這樣，我必使你的淫蕩和你從埃及地沾染的淫亂離開你，你的眼必不仰望他們，你也必不再懷念埃及。

²⁷Thus will I make your lewdness to cease from you, and your prostitution brought from the land of Egypt; so that you shall not lift up your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.

²⁸因為主耶和華這樣說：看哪！我必把你交在你所恨的人手裡，就是交在你的心所疏遠的人手裡。

²⁸For thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them from whom your soul is alienated;

²⁹他們必以憎恨待你，奪去你一切勞碌得來的，留下你赤身露體；你行淫的下體、你的淫蕩和淫亂，都必顯露出來。

²⁹and they shall deal with you in hatred, and shall take away all your labor, and shall leave you naked and bare; and the nakedness of your prostitution shall be uncovered, both your lewdness and your prostitution.

³⁰這些事要行在你身上，因為你隨從列國行淫，被他們的偶像玷污了自己。

³⁰These things shall be done to you, because you have played the prostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted with their idols.

³¹你走了你姊姊所走的路，所以我必把她的杯交在你手裡。

³¹You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore will I give her cup into your hand.

³²主耶和華這樣說：你必喝你姊姊所喝的杯，那杯又深又闊，容量甚大，必使你成為嗤笑和譏諷的對象。

³²Thus says the Lord Yahweh: You will drink of your sister’s cup, which is deep and large; you will be ridiculed and held in derision; it contains much.

³³你必酩酊大醉，充滿愁苦，那是驚慌和荒涼的杯，就是你姊姊撒瑪利亞的杯。

³³You shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria.

³⁴你要喝這杯，並且喝盡；然後把這杯摔成碎塊，又抓傷自己的胸。因為這是我曾說過的。’這是主耶和華的宣告。

³⁴You shall even drink it and drain it out, and you shall gnaw the broken pieces of it, and shall tear your breasts; for I have spoken it, says the Lord Yahweh.

³⁵因此，主耶和華這樣說：‘因為你忘記了我，把我丟在背後，所以你要擔當你淫蕩和淫亂的後果。’”

³⁵Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have forgotten me, and cast me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and your prostitution.

³⁶嚴責兩個婦人的邪淫耶和華又對我說：“人子啊，你要審判阿荷拉和阿荷利巴嗎？你要把她們可憎的事向她們說明，

³⁶Yahweh said moreover to me: Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? then declare to them their abominations.

³⁷因為她們行了姦淫，手中染血，與自己的偶像行姦淫，他們甚至使自己給我所生的兒女經火，獻給偶像作食物。

³⁷For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands; and with their idols have they committed adultery; and they have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire to them to be devoured.

³⁸此外，同一天，她們還向我作了這事，就是玷污我的聖所，又褻瀆我的安息日。

³⁸Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths.

³⁹她們宰殺了自己的兒女獻給偶像，同一天又進了我的聖所，把聖所褻瀆。這就是她們在我殿中所行的。

³⁹For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, thus have they done in the midst of my house.

⁴⁰況且你們打發使者去請人從遠方來；使者到了他們那裡，他們就來了。為了他們，你們洗澡、替眼部化妝、佩戴珠寶，

⁴⁰Furthermore you have sent for men who come from far, to whom a messenger was sent, and behold, they came; for whom you did wash yourself, paint your eyes, and decorate yourself with ornaments,

⁴¹你們坐在華麗的床上，床前放置了一張桌子，把我的香料和膏油放在上面。

⁴¹and sit on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you set my incense and my oil.

⁴²在那裡有安逸無憂的群眾發出喧嘩的聲音，有粗俗的人和酒徒從曠野而來，他們把手環戴在兩個婦人的手上，把美麗的冠冕戴在她們頭上。

⁴²The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on their hands twain, and beautiful crowns on their heads.

⁴³　神必重罰兩個婦人“我論到這個因行淫而衰頹的婦人說：現在讓人與她行淫吧，因為她本來就是妓女。

⁴³Then I said of her who was old in adulteries, Now will they play the prostitute with her, and she with them.

⁴⁴他們與她同睡；人怎樣與妓女同睡，也怎樣與阿荷拉和阿荷利巴那兩個淫蕩的婦人同睡。

⁴⁴They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute: so went they in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.

⁴⁵然而必有義人判她們受淫婦和流人血的婦人所受的刑罰，因為她們是淫婦，她們手中染血。

⁴⁵Righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women who shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.

⁴⁶“因為主耶和華這樣說：我必使一大群人上來攻擊她們，使她們驚慌，被人搶掠。

⁴⁶For thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will bring up a company against them, and will give them to be tossed back and forth and robbed.

⁴⁷這些人必用石頭打她們，用刀劍砍她們，又殺戮她們的兒女，放火燒毀她們的房屋。

⁴⁷The company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.

⁴⁸這樣，我必使淫蕩從這地止息，好叫所有的婦人都受到警戒，不敢照著她們的淫蕩而行。

⁴⁸Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.

⁴⁹人要把你們行淫的報應歸在你們身上；你們要擔當你們拜偶像的罪；你們就知道我是主耶和華。”

⁴⁹They shall recompense your lewdness on you, and you shall bear the sins of your idols; and you shall know that I am the Lord Yahweh.
