Chinese New Version (Traditional)
兩個淫亂姊妹的比喻
23 耶和華的話又臨到我說: 2 “人子啊!有兩個女人,都是同一個母親生的。 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。 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。
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。 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。 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。 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。 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。 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。
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。 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。 13 我看見她被玷污了;她們姊妹兩人所行的路都是一樣。 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, 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。 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。 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。 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。 19 她還加倍行淫,懷念她幼年在埃及地行淫的日子。 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。 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。
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。 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。 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。 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。 26 他們必剝去你的衣服,奪去你華麗的飾物。 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。 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。 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。 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。 31 你走了你姊姊所走的路,所以我必把她的杯交在你手裡。 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。
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。
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。 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。’”
嚴責兩個婦人的邪淫
36 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, 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。 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。 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。 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, 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。 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。
神必重罰兩個婦人
43 “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。 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。 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。
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。 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。 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,不敢照著你們的淫蕩而行。 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。”

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
两个淫妇的比喻
23 耶和华对我说: 2 “人子啊,有一对同胞姊妹, 3 她们在埃及做娼妓,年轻时就淫乱,任人抚摸她们的胸,玩弄她们的乳。 4 姐姐名叫阿荷拉,妹妹名叫阿荷利巴。后来她们都归属了我,并且生儿育女。阿荷拉即撒玛利亚,阿荷利巴即耶路撒冷。
5 “阿荷拉归属我后仍然淫乱,贪恋她的情人——亚述人。 6 他们都是身穿紫衣的省长和总督,都是英俊的年轻骑士。 7 她便与这些亚述的精英放纵情欲,拜他们的偶像,玷污自己。 8 她没有放弃在埃及的淫荡行为,她年轻的时候就任人玩弄、发泄情欲。 9 因此,我把她交在她所恋慕的亚述人手里。 10 他们扒光她的衣服,夺去她的儿女,用刀杀了她。她受了报应,成了妇女口中的笑柄。
11 “她妹妹阿荷利巴看见这一切,不但没有引以为戒,反而更加放荡淫乱。 12 她贪恋亚述的省长和总督,那些衣着华丽、英俊的年轻骑士。 13 我看见她玷污了自己,与姐姐的行径如出一辙。 14 她还变本加厉地放荡淫乱,看见墙上用朱砂画着迦勒底人的像, 15 腰间束带,头巾飘扬,都像是来自迦勒底的巴比伦人的将领, 16 便恋上了他们,差遣使者到他们那里。 17 巴比伦人便来上她的床,放纵情欲玷污了她。之后,她便厌弃他们。 18 她继续公开地淫乱,在众人面前赤身露体,我厌弃她,像厌弃她姐姐一样。 19 她却更加淫乱,怀念自己年轻时在埃及为娼的日子, 20 怎样与那些体壮精足、如驴似马的情人纵淫, 21 渴望重温早年的淫行,任埃及人摸胸弄乳。
22 “因此,主耶和华对阿荷利巴这样说,‘我要使那些被你离弃的情人从四面八方来攻击你。 23 他们是巴比伦人,还有从比割、书亚和哥亚来的迦勒底人以及亚述人,都是骑马的省长和总督及年轻英俊的有名将领。 24 他们率领大队人马,带着兵器、战车和军需车来攻击你。他们顶盔贯甲,手拿盾牌从四面八方进攻你。我要让他们惩罚你,他们会按自己的律例来审判你。 25 我要借着他们向你倾倒我的义愤,他们要在愤怒中对付你,割去你的鼻子和耳朵,掳去你的儿女,城中剩下的人都要死于刀下,被火吞噬。 26 他们要剥下你的衣服,夺去你的珠宝。 27 我要借此制止你从埃及染上的淫乱和放荡,使你不再向往埃及。 28 我要把你交在你所厌恶的人手中, 29 他们必满怀仇恨地对付你,夺去你努力得来的一切,留下你赤身露体,使你淫荡的丑恶公布于众。 30 因为你与各国苟合,被他们的偶像玷污,这些事必临到你身上。 31 你既然步你姐姐的后尘,我要让你喝她喝的那杯。’
32 “主耶和华说,
“‘你必喝你姐姐那又大又深的杯,
成为人们耻笑和辱骂的对象。
33 你姐姐撒玛利亚的杯盛满了恐惧和凄凉。
你喝了后必酩酊大醉,
满心忧愁。
34 你必一滴不剩把它喝光,
然后把杯摔成碎片,
抓破自己的胸脯。
这是主耶和华说的。’
35 “主耶和华说,‘你既忘记我,把我抛在脑后,就要受自己放荡淫乱的报应。’”
36 耶和华又对我说:“人子啊,你要审判阿荷拉和阿荷利巴,指出她们的丑行。 37 她们淫荡,手上沾满血腥,与偶像淫乱,把为我所生的儿女烧死献给偶像。 38 同时,她们还在同一天玷污我的圣所,亵渎我的安息日, 39 她们焚烧自己的儿女献祭给偶像,并在当天进入我的圣所,亵渎圣所。这就是她们在我圣所里的恶行。
40 “她们甚至派使者请来远方的人,并且沐浴洗身,描眉画眼,佩戴首饰, 41 坐在华丽的床上,面前的桌子上摆设着我的香料和膏油。 42 她们屋里传出众人的安乐声,从旷野来的酒徒和粗汉把镯子戴在这对姊妹的手腕上,把华冠戴在她们的头上。 43 我说,‘她们纵欲无度、年老色衰,这些人还与她们淫乱。 44 他们与这对淫妇阿荷拉和阿荷利巴淫乱,好像与娼妓淫乱一样。 45 她们是双手沾满血腥的淫妇,必有义人按她们应得的报应审判她们。’
46 “主耶和华说,‘我要使许多人起来攻击、抢掠她们,叫她们胆战心惊。 47 这些人要用石头打死她们,用刀杀戮她们和她们的儿女,用火烧毁她们的房屋。 48 这样,我便制止了这地方的淫乱,所有的妇女都引以为戒,不敢效法她们。 49 她们淫乱,必得报应;她们拜偶像,必受惩罚。这样,你们就知道我是主耶和华。’”
Ezekiel 23
Modern English Version
The Sins of Oholah and Oholibah
23 The word of the Lord came again to me, saying: 2 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother. 3 And they committed harlotries in Egypt. They committed harlotries in their youth. There their breasts were pressed, and there their virgin bosom was handled. 4 Their names were Oholah the elder and Oholibah her sister. And they were mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem is Oholibah.
Samaria
5 Oholah played the harlot when she was Mine. And she lusted after her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors, 6 who were clothed in purple, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses. 7 Thus she committed her harlotries with them, with all those who were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself. 8 She did not forsake her harlotries from the time in Egypt. For in her youth they lay with her, and they handled her virgin bosom and poured their harlotry upon her.
9 Therefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians after whom she doted. 10 They uncovered her nakedness. They took her sons and her daughters and killed her with the sword. And she became a byword among women, for they had executed judgments on her.
Jerusalem
11 Now her sister Oholibah saw this, but she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her harlotries more than her sister in her harlotries. 12 She lusted after the Assyrians her neighbors, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men. 13 Then I saw that she was defiled, that they both took the same way.
14 So she increased her harlotries. And she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion, 15 girded with belts on their loins, exceeding in dyed attire on their heads, all of them looking like officials, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity. 16 And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them into Chaldea. 17 The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their harlotry, and she was polluted with them, and her soul became disgusted with them. 18 So she uncovered her harlotries and uncovered her nakedness. Then My soul became disgusted with her, as My soul became disgusted with her sister. 19 Yet she multiplied her harlotries while remembering the days of her youth in which she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. 20 For she lusted after their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys and whose issue is like the issue of horses. 21 Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth when the Egyptians handled your bosom because of the breasts of your youth.
Judgment on Jerusalem
22 Therefore, O Oholibah, thus says the Lord God: I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom you were alienated, and I will bring them against you on every side: 23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them. All of them are desirable young men, captains and rulers, officers and men of renown, all of them riding on horses. 24 They shall come against you with weapons, chariots and wagons, and with an assembly of peoples. They shall set themselves against you on every side with buckler and shield and helmet. And I will set the judgment before them, and they shall judge you according to their customs. 25 I will set My jealousy against you, so that they deal furiously with you. They shall take away your nose and your ears. And your remnant shall fall by the sword. They shall take your sons and your daughters. And your remnant shall be devoured by the fire. 26 They shall also strip you of your clothes and take away your fair jewels. 27 Thus I will make your lewdness and your harlotry brought from the land of Egypt to cease from you so that you shall not lift up your eyes to them or remember Egypt anymore.
28 For thus says the Lord God: I will deliver you into the hand of those whom you hate, into the hand of those from whom you were alienated. 29 And they shall deal with you hatefully, and shall take away all your labor, and shall leave you naked and bare. And the nakedness of your harlotries shall be uncovered, both your lewdness and your harlotries. 30 I will do these things to you because you have gone whoring after the nations, because you have polluted yourself with their idols. 31 You have walked in the way of your sister. Therefore I will give her cup into your hand.
32 Thus says the Lord God:
You shall drink of your sister’s cup,
which is deep and wide;
you shall be laughed to scorn and held in derision;
it contains much.
33 You shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow,
the cup of horror and desolation,
the cup of your sister Samaria.
34 You shall drink it and drain it,
then you shall gnaw at its fragments
and tear off your own breasts;
for I have spoken, says the Lord God.
35 Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you have forgotten Me and cast Me behind your back, now bear the punishment of your lewdness and your harlotries.
Judgment on the Sisters
36 The Lord moreover said to me: Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations. 37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands. Thus with their idols they have committed adultery and have also caused their sons whom they bore to Me to pass through the fire for them as food. 38 Moreover they have done this to 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 thus they have done in the midst of My house.
40 Furthermore, they have even sent for men to come from afar, to whom a messenger was sent; and they came. For them you washed yourself, painted your eyes, and decked yourself with ornaments. 41 And you sat on a stately couch with a table prepared before it on which you had set My incense and My oil.
42 A sound of a multitude at ease was with her, and drunkards were brought from the wilderness with men of the common sort. And they put bracelets on the hands of the women and beautiful crowns on their heads. 43 Then I said to her who was worn out by adulteries, “Will they now commit harlotries with her when she is so?” 44 Yet they went in to her as they go in to a woman who plays the harlot. So they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women. 45 But righteous men shall judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.
46 For thus says the Lord God: Bring up a company against them and give them over to terror and devastation. 47 The company shall stone them with stones and cut them down with their swords. They shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
48 Thus I will cause lewdness to cease from the land, that all women may be warned and not commit lewdness as you have done. 49 Your lewdness shall be recompensed upon you, and you shall bear the punishment of worshipping your idols. Then you shall know that I am the Lord God.
