1 Again Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 2 "Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations; 3 and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says to Jerusalem: "Your origin and your birth is of the land of the Canaanite. An Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hittite. 4 As for your birth, in the day you were born your navel was not cut. You weren’t washed in water to cleanse you. You weren’t salted at all, nor wrapped in blankets at all. 5 No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, because you were abhorred in the day that you were born.
6 "‘"When I passed by you, and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you, ‘Though you are in your blood, live!’ Yes, I said to you, ‘Though you are in your blood, live!’ 7 I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent beauty. Your breasts were formed, and your hair grew; yet you were naked and bare.
8 "‘"Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my garment over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I pledged myself to you and entered into a covenant with you," says the Lord Yahweh, "and you became mine.
9 "‘"Then I washed you with water. Yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil. 10 I clothed you also with embroidered work and put leather sandals on you. I dressed you with fine linen and covered you with silk. 11 I decked you with ornaments, put bracelets on your hands, and put a chain on your neck. 12 I put a ring on your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head. 13 Thus you were decked with gold and silver. Your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered work. You ate fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly beautiful, and you prospered to royal estate. 14 Your renown went out among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you," says the Lord Yahweh.
15 "‘"But you trusted in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by. It was his. 16 You took some of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors, and played the prostitute on them. This shouldn’t happen, neither shall it be. 17 You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and played the prostitute with them. 18 You took your embroidered garments, covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them. 19 My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you even set it before them for a pleasant aroma; and so it was," says the Lord Yahweh.
20 "‘"Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and you have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Was your prostitution a small matter, 21 that you have slain my children and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire to them? 22 In all your abominations and your prostitution you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were wallowing in your blood.
23 "‘"It has happened after all your wickedness—woe, woe to you!" says the Lord Yahweh— 24 "that you have built for yourselves a vaulted place, and have made yourselves a lofty place in every street. 25 You have built your lofty place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty an abomination, and have opened your feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your prostitution. 26 You have also committed sexual immorality with the Egyptians, your neighbors, great of flesh; and have multiplied your prostitution, to provoke me to anger. 27 See therefore, I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your portion, and delivered you to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd way. 28 You have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you weren’t satisfied. 29 You have moreover multiplied your prostitution to the land of merchants, to Chaldea; and yet you weren’t satisfied with this.
30 "‘"How weak is your heart," says the Lord Yahweh, "since you do all these things, the work of an impudent prostitute; 31 in that you build your vaulted place at the head of every way, and make your lofty place in every street, and have not been as a prostitute, in that you scorn pay.
32 "‘"Adulterous wife, who takes strangers instead of her husband! 33 People give gifts to all prostitutes; but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to you on every side for your prostitution. 34 You are different from other women in your prostitution, in that no one follows you to play the prostitute; and whereas you give hire, and no hire is given to you, therefore you are different."’
35 "Therefore, prostitute, hear Yahweh’s word: 36 ‘The Lord Yahweh says, "Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your prostitution with your lovers; and because of all the idols of your abominations, and for the blood of your children, that you gave to them; 37 therefore see, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those whom you have loved, with all those whom you have hated. I will even gather them against you on every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness. 38 I will judge you as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy. 39 I will also give you into their hand, and they will throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places. They will strip you of your clothes and take your beautiful jewels. They will leave you naked and bare. 40 They will also bring up a company against you, and they will stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords. 41 They will burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women. I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you will also give no hire any more. 42 So I will cause my wrath toward you to rest, and my jealousy will depart from you. I will be quiet, and will not be angry any more.
43 "‘"Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have raged against me in all these things; therefore, behold, I also will bring your way on your head," says the Lord Yahweh: "and you shall not commit this lewdness with all your abominations.
44 "‘"Behold, everyone who uses proverbs will use this proverb against you, saying, ‘As is the mother, so is her daughter.’ 45 You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite. 46 Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom with her daughters. 47 Yet you have not walked in their ways, nor done their abominations; but soon you were more corrupt than they in all your ways. 48 As I live," says the Lord Yahweh, "Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.
49 "‘"Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters. She also didn’t strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 50 They were arrogant and committed abomination before me. Therefore I took them away when I saw it. 51 Samaria hasn’t committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done. 52 You also bear your own shame yourself, in that you have given judgment for your sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous than you. Yes, be also confounded, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.
53 "‘"I will reverse their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of your captives among them; 54 that you may bear your own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them. 55 Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters will return to their former estate; and you and your daughters will return to your former estate. 56 For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride, 57 before your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who despise you all around. 58 You have borne your lewdness and your abominations," says Yahweh.
59 "‘For the Lord Yahweh says: "I will also deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant. 60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you. 61 Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, your elder sisters and your younger; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant. 62 I will establish my covenant with you. Then you will know that I am Yahweh; 63 that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done," says the Lord Yahweh.’"
1 耶和华的话又临到我说：
2 "人子啊！ 你要使耶路撒冷知道她那些可憎之事；
3 你要说： ‘主耶和华对耶路撒冷这样说： 你的根源和出生地是在迦南地； 你的父亲是亚摩利人， 你的母亲是赫人。
4 在你生下来的日子， 没有人替你断脐带， 没有人用水洗你， 使你洁净， 没有人撒盐在你身上， 也没有人用布包裹你。
5 没有人顾惜可怜你， 愿意为你作上述任何一件事； 你却被人拋弃在田野， 因为你出生的时候， 你是被人厌恶的。
6 "‘但我从你身旁经过， 见你在血中挣扎。那时， 你躺在血中， 我对你说： 要活下去。
7 我使你生长起来， 像田间的植物。于是你生长起来， 渐渐长大， 好像最美丽的珠宝， 你的两乳长成， 头发秀长； 但你仍是赤身露体。
8 我又从你身旁经过， 见你已经到了谈情说爱的时候， 我就用我的衣襟搭在你身上， 遮盖你赤裸的身体； 我又向你起誓， 与你立约， 于是你就属于我了。这是主耶和华的宣告。
9 那时我用水洗你， 洗净你身上的血， 又用油抹你。
10 我使你身穿刺绣的衣裳， 脚穿海狗皮鞋； 用细麻布给你裹头； 又用丝绸给你披在身上。
11 我用珠宝给你打扮， 把手环戴在你手上， 把项链戴在你颈上，
12 又把鼻环戴在你鼻子上， 把耳环戴在你耳朵上， 把美丽的冠冕戴在你头上。
13 这样你就有了金银的装饰， 你穿的是细麻、丝绸和刺绣的衣服； 你吃的是细面、蜂蜜和油； 你实在非常美丽， 配登王后的位。
14 你的名声因你的美丽传遍列国， 你全然美丽， 是因为我加在你身上的荣美。这是主耶和华的宣告。
15 "‘可是你倚仗你的美丽， 又凭着你的名声去行淫； 你向每一个过路的人纵情淫乱。
16 你拿了你的一些衣服， 为自己建造色彩缤纷的邱坛， 又在那里行淫。这样的事不应发生， 将来也不会再出现。
17 你又拿了我送给你那些美丽的金器银器， 为自己铸造男人的像， 与那些像行淫。
18 你又拿你的刺绣衣服， 盖在它们身上， 并且把我的油和香料都摆在它们面前。
19 你把我赐给你的食物， 就是我给你吃的细面、油和蜂蜜， 都摆在它们面前作馨香的祭物。这是主耶和华的宣告。
20 你更把你的儿女， 就是你给我所生的儿女， 献给它们作食物； 你所行的淫乱还算是小事吗？
21 你竟宰杀了我的儿女， 使他们经火， 献给它们。
22 你行这一切可憎和淫乱的事， 并没有想过你年幼的日子， 那时你赤身露体， 在血中挣扎。
23 "‘你有祸了， 有祸了！ 这是主耶和华的宣告。你行了这一切恶事以后，
24 你又为自己建造高冈， 在各广场上筑起高坛。
25 你在各路口建造高坛， 使你的美丽变为可憎的， 又向每一个过路的人张开两腿， 多行淫乱。
26 你也与放纵情欲的邻居埃及人行淫， 多行淫乱， 惹我发怒。
27 因此， 我伸手攻击你， 减少你的粮食（"粮食"或译： "领土"）， 又把你交给那些恨你的非利士女子， 使她们任意待你； 她们对你邪荡的行为也感到羞愧。
28 可是， 因为你还不满足， 又与亚述人行淫； 你与他们行淫之后， 还是不满足。
29 于是你增多你的淫乱， 与贸易之地迦勒底行淫， 你还是不满足。
30 "‘你行的这一切事， 简直是任性无耻的妓女所为， 可见你的意志是多么的薄弱。这是耶和华的宣告。
31 你在各路口建造你的高冈， 又在各广场上筑起你的高坛； 然而你并不像一个妓女， 因为你藐视卖淫所得的赏赐。
32 你这淫乱的妻子啊！ 你竟接外人而不接自己的丈夫。
33 人都把礼物送给妓女， 你却把你的礼物送给你的爱人， 贿赂他们从四面来与你行淫。
34 你的淫行与别的妇女不同， 因为不是人把礼物送给你， 要求与你行淫， 是你把礼物送给人， 所以你是不同的。
35 "‘因此， 你这妓女啊， 要听耶和华的话！
36 主耶和华这样说： 因为你的情欲倾注出来， 你与你的爱人行淫， 露出你的下体， 又因为你拜一切可憎的偶像， 流儿女的血， 把血献给偶像，
37 所以我要把所有与你欢合的爱人， 就是所有你所爱的和你所恨的， 都聚集起来； 我要把他们从四围聚集起来攻击你； 我要在他们面前露出你的下体， 使他们看见你全身赤裸。
38 我要审判你， 像审判行奸淫和流人血的妇人一样； 我要因我的烈怒和妒忿， 使流人血的罪归在你身上。
39 我要把你交在他们手里， 他们要拆毁你的高冈， 破坏你的高坛， 剥去你的衣服， 夺去你美丽的珠宝， 只留下你赤露的身躯。
40 他们必带一大群人上来攻击你， 用石头打死你， 用他们的刀把你砍碎。
41 他们也要用火烧你的房屋， 在许多妇人面前向你施行审判。我必止住你的淫行， 也必使你不再把诱人行淫的礼物送给人。
42 这样我向你发的烈怒就可以平息， 我的妒忿也可以离开你； 我可以安静， 不再恼怒了。
43 因为你不追念你年幼的日子， 反而在这一切事上惹我发怒； 看哪！ 我必照着你所行的报应在你头上， 这是主耶和华的宣告。在你一切可憎的事以外， 你岂不是还行了这淫乱的丑事吗？
44 "‘凡引用俗语的， 必用这俗语指着你说： 有其母， 必有其女。
45 你实在是你母亲的女儿， 她厌弃自己的丈夫和儿女； 你实在是你姊妹的姊妹， 她们厌弃她们的丈夫和儿女； 你们的母亲是赫人， 你们的父亲是亚摩利人。
46 你的姊姊是撒玛利亚， 她和她的女儿们住在你的北面； 你的妹妹是所多玛， 她和她的女儿们住在你的南面。
47 你不但行她们所行的， 作她们所作的可憎之事， 而且你还以那些事为小， 你一切所行的比她们更坏。
48 我指着我的永生起誓， 你的妹妹所多玛和她的女儿们， 都没有行过像你和你女儿们所行的事。这是主耶和华的宣告。
49 你妹妹所多玛的罪孽是这样： 她和她的女儿们都骄傲自大， 粮食丰足， 生活安逸， 却没有帮助困苦和贫穷的人。
50 她们自高自傲， 在我面前行了可憎的事； 我看见了， 就把她们除掉。
51 撒玛利亚所犯的罪还不及你所犯的一半； 你所行的可憎之事比她更多， 以致你的姊妹因你所行的一切可憎之事而显为义。
52 你既然使你的姊妹较显为义， 你就要承担自己的耻辱； 因为你所犯的罪比她们所犯的更可憎， 她们比你更显为义。你使你的姊妹较显为义， 所以你就要惭愧， 承担自己的耻辱了。
53 "‘我要使所多玛和她的女儿们， 撒玛利亚和她的女儿们从苦境中转回， 我也要使你们跟她们一起转回，
54 好使你担当自己的耻辱， 并且因你一切所行的使她们得了安慰， 你就自觉惭愧。
55 你的妹妹所多玛和她的女儿们必回复原来的状况； 撒玛利亚和她的女儿们必回复原来的状况； 你和你的女儿们也必回复原来的状况。
56 在你骄傲自大的日子， 你妹妹所多玛在你口中不是成了笑柄吗？
57 那时你的恶行还没有显露出来， 现在你却成了以东的女儿们和以东四围的众人， 以及非利士的女儿们讥笑的对象。你周围的人都轻视你。
58 你要承担你那些淫乱和可憎之事的后果。这是耶和华的宣告。
59 主耶和华这样说： 你这藐视誓言、背弃盟约的， 我必照着你所行的报应你。
60 "‘但我仍要记念在你年幼的时候与你所立的约， 也要与你坚立永远的约。
61 你接纳你姊姊和你妹妹回来的时候， 你就会想起你所行的， 并要自觉惭愧； 我要把她们赐给你作女儿， 但这并不是出于我与你所立的约。
62 我要坚立我与你所立的约， 你就知道我是耶和华，
63 好使你在我赦免你所行的一切时， 就会回想， 自觉惭愧， 并且因你所受的羞辱不再开口。这是主耶和华的宣告。’"
