1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
3 and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto Jerusalem: Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of the Canaanite: thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother a Hittite.
4 And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water for cleansing; thou wast not rubbed with salt at all, nor swaddled at all.
5 No eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, from abhorrence of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.
6 And I passed by thee, and saw thee weltering in thy blood, and I said unto thee, in thy blood, Live! yea, I said unto thee, in thy blood, Live!
7 I caused thee to multiply, as the bud of the field; and thou didst increase and grow great, and thou camest to fulness of beauty; {thy} breasts were fashioned, and thy hair grew: but thou wast naked and bare.
8 And I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, and behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness; and I swore unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord Jehovah, and thou becamest mine.
9 And I washed thee with water, and thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil;
10 and I clothed thee with embroidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I bound thee about with byssus, and covered thee with silk.
11 And I decked thee with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck;
12 and I put a ring on thy nose, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head.
13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver, and thy raiment was byssus, and silk, and embroidered work. Thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil; and thou becamest exceedingly beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.
14 And thy fame went forth among the nations for thy beauty; for it was perfect through my magnificence, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord Jehovah.
15 But thou didst confide in thy beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy whoredoms on every one that passed by: his it was.
16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and madest for thyself high places decked with divers colours, and didst play the harlot thereupon: {the like} hath not come to pass, and shall be no more.
17 And thou didst take thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of males, and didst commit fornication with them.
18 And thou tookest thine embroidered garments, and coveredst them; and thou didst set mine oil and mine incense before them.
19 And my bread which I had given thee, the fine flour and the oil and the honey wherewith I fed thee, thou didst even set it before them for a sweet savour: thus it was, saith the Lord Jehovah.
20 And thou didst take thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hadst borne unto me, and these didst thou sacrifice unto them, to be devoured. Were thy whoredoms a small matter,
21 that thou didst slay my children and give them up in passing them over to them?
22 And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, when thou wast weltering in thy blood.
23 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord Jehovah),
24 that thou didst also build unto thee a place of debauchery, and didst make thee a high place in every street:
25 thou didst build thy high place at every head of the way, and madest thy beauty to be abhorred, and thou didst open thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiply thy whoredom.
26 And thou didst commit fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and didst multiply thy whoredom to provoke me to anger.
27 And behold, I stretched out my hand over thee, and diminished thine appointed portion; and I gave thee over unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, who were confounded at thy lewd way.
28 And thou didst commit fornication with the Assyrians, because thou wast insatiable; yea, thou didst commit fornication with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.
29 And thou didst multiply thy whoredom with the land of merchants, Chaldea, and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.
30 How weak is thy heart, saith the Lord Jehovah, seeing thou doest all these {things}, the work of a whorish woman, under no restraint;
31 in that thou buildest thy place of debauchery at the head of every way, and makest thy high place in every street! And thou hast not been as a harlot, in that thou scornest reward,
32 O adulterous wife, that taketh strangers instead of her husband.
33 They give rewards to all harlots; but thou gavest thy rewards to all thy lovers, and rewardedst them, that they might come unto thee on every side for thy whoredoms.
34 And in thee is the contrary from {other} women, in thy whoredoms, in that none followeth thee to commit fornication; and whereas thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, so art thou contrary.
35 Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of Jehovah.
36 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thy money hath been poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy fornications with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thine abominations, and because of the blood of thy children which thou didst give unto them;
37 therefore, behold, I will gather all thy lovers with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all that thou hast loved, with all that thou hast hated, -I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
38 And I will judge thee with the judgments of women that commit adultery and shed blood; and I will give thee up to the blood of fury and jealousy;
39 and I will give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thy place of debauchery, and shall break down thy high places; and they shall strip thee of thy garments, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.
40 And they shall bring up an assemblage against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.
41 And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women; and I will cause thee to cease from being a harlot, and thou also shalt give no more any reward.
42 And I will appease my fury against thee, and my jealousy shall depart from thee; and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
43 Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast raged against me in all these {things}, behold, therefore, I also will recompense thy way upon {thy} head, saith the Lord Jehovah, and thou shalt not commit this lewdness besides all thine abominations.
44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall speak in a proverb against thee, saying, As the mother, {so is} her daughter!
45 Thou art the daughter of thy mother that loathed her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
46 And thine elder sister is Samaria that dwelleth at thy left hand, she and her daughters; and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
47 And thou hast not walked in their ways, nor done according to their abominations; but as though that were a very little, thou hast been more corrupt than they in all thy ways.
48 {As} I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters!
49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom: pride, fulness of bread, and careless ease was in her and in her daughters, but she did not strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me, and I took them away when I saw {it}.
51 And Samaria hath not sinned according to the half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters by all thine abominations which thou hast done.
52 Thou also, who hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own confusion, because of thy sins in which thou hast acted more abominably than they: they are more righteous than thou. So be thou ashamed also, and bear thy confusion, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.
53 And I will bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them;
54 that thou mayest bear thy confusion, and mayest be confounded for all that thou hast done, in that thou comfortest them.
55 And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate; thou also and thy daughters, ye shall return to your former estate.
56 Yea, Sodom thy sister was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride,
57 before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, who despise thee on every side.
58 Thy lewdness and thine abominations, thou bearest them, saith Jehovah.
59 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, who hast despised the oath, and broken the covenant.
60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
61 And thou shalt remember thy ways, and be confounded, when thou shalt receive thy sisters who are older than thou, together with those who are younger than thou; for I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by virtue of thy covenant.
62 And I will establish my covenant with thee, and thou shalt know that I {am} Jehovah;
63 that thou mayest remember, and be ashamed, and no more open thy mouth because of thy confusion, when I forgive thee all that thou hast done, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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。’"
