1 耶和华的话又临到我说：
2 "人子啊！ 有两个女人， 都是同一个母亲生的。
3 她们在埃及行邪淫， 在幼年的时候行了邪淫， 在那里她们的胸被人抚摩； 在那里她们处女的乳房被人抚弄。
4 姊姊的名字是阿荷拉， 妹妹的名字是阿荷利巴； 她们都嫁了给我， 并且生了儿女。论到她们的名字， 阿荷拉就是撒玛利亚， 阿荷利巴就是耶路撒冷。
5 "阿荷拉嫁了我以后仍行邪淫， 恋慕她的爱人， 就是亚述的战士。
6 他们穿着紫色衣服， 是作总督和省长的； 他们都是英俊的年轻人， 是骑着马的骑兵。
7 阿荷拉与这些亚述人中最美的男子行邪淫； 她因自己所恋慕的每一个人和这些人的偶像玷污了自己。
8 她没有离弃在埃及时的淫乱； 那时她年幼， 人与她同睡， 抚弄她处女的乳房， 把他们的情欲发泄在她身上。
9 因此我把她交在她的爱人手里， 就是她所恋慕的亚述人手里。
10 这些人露出她的下体， 掳去她的儿女， 用刀杀了她， 使她在妇女中有了臭名， 因为他们向她施行惩罚。
11 "她妹妹阿荷利巴虽然看见了， 却在自己情欲的事情上比姊姊更腐败， 她的淫乱比姊姊的淫乱更甚。
12 她贪恋亚述人， 就是作总督和省长， 穿着华美衣服的战士， 骑着马的骑兵， 全都是英俊的年轻人。
13 我看见她被玷污了； 她们姊妹两人所行的路都是一样。
14 阿荷利巴又继续行淫； 她看见画在墙上的人像， 就是用鲜红的颜料所画的迦勒底人像，
15 这些像的腰间束着腰带， 头上有下垂的裹头巾， 他们看来像官长， 有巴比伦人的样子， 迦勒底是他们出生之地。
16 阿荷利巴的眼一看见， 就恋慕他们， 派遣使者到迦勒底去见他们。
17 于是巴比伦人来， 上了她爱情的床， 与她行淫玷污了她； 她被他们玷污以后， 心就与他们疏远。
18 她既然显露了她的淫行， 露出了自己的下体， 我的心就与她疏远， 好像我的心从前与她姊姊疏远一样。
19 她还加倍行淫， 怀念她幼年在埃及地行淫的日子。
20 她恋慕她的情人， 他们的下体像驴的下体； 他们射精像马一样。
21 这样， 你就渴想你幼年时的淫荡； 那时， 埃及人抚弄过你的乳房， 抚摩你年幼时的胸。
22 "因此， 阿荷利巴啊！ 主耶和华这样说： ‘看哪！ 我必激动你的爱人攻击你， 就是你心所疏远的人； 我必带他们来从四面攻击你。
23 他们就是巴比伦人、迦勒底人、比割人、书亚人、哥亚人， 与他们一起的还有亚述人， 他们都是英俊的年轻人， 是作总督和省长的， 作长官和战士的， 全部都是骑马的。
24 他们必带着兵器、马车、战车和大队人来攻击你； 他们要拿着大小盾牌， 戴着头盔， 从四面摆阵攻击你； 我要把审判的事交给他们， 他们必按着自己的惯例来审判你。
25 我必向你发泄我的妒忿， 他们必以烈怒待你； 割去你的鼻子和耳朵； 你余下的人必倒在刀下； 他们要掳去你的儿女； 你余下的人必被火吞吃。
26 他们必剥去你的衣服， 夺去你华丽的饰物。
27 这样， 我必使你的淫荡和你从埃及地沾染的淫乱离开你， 你的眼必不仰望他们， 你也必不再怀念埃及。
28 因为主耶和华这样说： 看哪！ 我必把你交在你所恨的人手里， 就是交在你的心所疏远的人手里。
29 他们必以憎恨待你， 夺去你一切劳碌得来的， 留下你赤身露体； 你行淫的下体、你的淫荡和淫乱， 都必显露出来。
30 这些事要行在你身上， 因为你随从列国行淫， 被他们的偶像玷污了自己。
31 你走了你姊姊所走的路， 所以我必把她的杯交在你手里。
32 主耶和华这样说： 你必喝你姊姊所喝的杯， 那杯又深又阔， 容量甚大， 必使你成为嗤笑和讥讽的对象。
33 你必酩酊大醉， 充满愁苦， 那是惊慌和荒凉的杯， 就是你姊姊撒玛利亚的杯。
34 你要喝这杯， 并且喝尽； 然后把这杯摔成碎块， 又抓伤自己的胸。因为这是我曾说过的。’这是主耶和华的宣告。
35 因此， 主耶和华这样说： ‘因为你忘记了我， 把我丢在背后， 所以你要担当你淫荡和淫乱的后果。’"
36 耶和华又对我说： "人子啊， 你要审判阿荷拉和阿荷利巴吗？你要把她们可憎的事向她们说明，
37 因为她们行了奸淫， 手中染血， 与自己的偶像行奸淫， 他们甚至使自己给我所生的儿女经火， 献给偶像作食物。
38 此外， 同一天， 她们还向我作了这事， 就是玷污我的圣所， 又亵渎我的安息日。
39 她们宰杀了自己的儿女献给偶像， 同一天又进了我的圣所， 把圣所亵渎。这就是她们在我殿中所行的。
40 况且你们打发使者去请人从远方来； 使者到了他们那里， 他们就来了。为了他们， 你们洗澡、替眼部化妆、佩戴珠宝，
41 你们坐在华丽的床上， 床前放置了一张桌子， 把我的香料和膏油放在上面。
42 在那里有安逸无忧的群众发出喧哗的声音， 有粗俗的人和酒徒从旷野而来， 他们把手环戴在两个妇人的手上， 把美丽的冠冕戴在她们头上。
43 "我论到这个因行淫而衰颓的妇人说： 现在让人与她行淫吧， 因为她本来就是妓女。
44 他们与她同睡； 人怎样与妓女同睡， 也怎样与阿荷拉和阿荷利巴那两个淫荡的妇人同睡。
45 然而必有义人判她们受淫妇和流人血的妇人所受的刑罚， 因为她们是淫妇， 她们手中染血。
46 "因为主耶和华这样说： 我必使一大群人上来攻击她们， 使她们惊慌， 被人抢掠。
47 这些人必用石头打她们， 用刀剑砍她们， 又杀戮她们的儿女， 放火烧毁她们的房屋。
48 这样， 我必使淫荡从这地止息， 好叫所有的妇人都受到警戒， 不敢照着她们的淫荡而行。
49 人要把你们行淫的报应归在你们身上； 你们要担当你们拜偶像的罪； 你们就知道我是主耶和华。"
1 The word of Jehovah came again unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother: 3 and they played the harlot in Egypt; they played the harlot in their youth; there were their breasts pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity. 4 And the names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bare sons and daughters. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
5 And Oholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors, 6 who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses. 7 And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and on whomsoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself. 8 Neither hath she left her whoredoms 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 whoredom upon her. 9 Wherefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted. 10 These uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters; and her they slew with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments upon her.
11 And her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her whoredoms which were more than the whoredoms of her sister. 12 She doted upon the Assyrians, governors and rulers, her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men. 13 And I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way. 14 And she increased her whoredoms; for she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion, 15 girded with girdles upon their loins, with flowing turbans upon their heads, all of them princes to look upon, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their nativity. 16 And as soon as she saw them she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea. 17 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them. 18 So she uncovered her whoredoms, and uncovered her nakedness: then my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister. 19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, remembering the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. 20 And she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses. 21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in the handling of thy bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of thy youth.
22 Therefore, O Oholibah, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side: 23 the 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 upon horses. 24 And they shall come against thee with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples; they shall set themselves against thee with buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will commit the judgment unto them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments. 25 And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal with thee in fury; they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy residue shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire. 26 They shall also strip thee of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels. 27 Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt; so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more. 28 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy soul is alienated; 29 and they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labor, and shall leave thee naked and bare; and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be uncovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
30 These things shall be done unto thee, for that thou hast played the harlot after the nations, and because thou art polluted with their idols. 31 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thy hand. 32 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou shalt drink of thy sister’s cup, which is deep and large; thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much. 33 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria. 34 Thou shalt even drink it and drain it out, and thou shalt gnaw the sherds thereof, and shalt tear thy breasts; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah. 35 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
36 Jehovah said moreover unto me: Son of man, wilt thou judge Oholah and Oholibah? then declare unto them their abominations. 37 For 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 bare unto me, to pass through the fire unto them to be devoured. 38 Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths. 39 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of my house. 40 And furthermore ye have sent for men that come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent, and, lo, they came; for whom thou didst wash thyself, paint thine eyes, and deck thyself with ornaments, 41 and sit upon a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon thou didst set mine incense and mine oil. 42 And the 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 upon the hands of them twain, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.
43 Then said I of her that was old in adulteries, Now will they play the harlot with her, and she with them. 44 And they went in unto her, as they go in unto a harlot: so went they in unto Oholah and unto Oholibah, the lewd women. 45 And righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands. 46 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will bring up a company against them, and will give them to be tossed to and fro and robbed. 47 And the company shall stone them with stones, and despatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire. 48 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness. 49 And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols; and ye shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.
