以西結書

第16章

1 耶和華諭我曰、

2 人子、使耶路撒冷人知其所爲、深可痛疾。

3 我耶和華告爾耶路撒冷民云、爾之爲爾、若女子生於迦南、以亞摩哩人爲父、赫人爲母、

4 生時不斷臍、不澡身、不施以鹽、不裹以衣、

5 矜恤爾善待爾者、迄無一人、乃生之日、人棄於田、生命難保。

6 我過時、見爾染血、幾遭蹂躪、則賜爾生、染血之時、我賜爾生。

7 我使爾漸長、若林樹萌芽、爾體窈窕、容顏韶秀、乳堅髮長、猶無衣以蔽體。

8 主耶和華曰、我過而見汝、若女及笄、我以裾覆爾、締結姻盟、于歸乎我。

9 我洗爾以水、去爾污衊、沐爾以膏、

10 衣爾以繡、以貂皮作履、以棉爲巾幗、以絲爲長服、

11 加以首飾、著釧於手、垂金於項、

12 置環於鼻、懸珥於耳、戴冕於首、備極華美、

13 以金銀飾爾之體、以棉絲絺繡、被爾之身、以麵及蜜與油、果爾之腹、遂成艷麗、邦國之興、亦若是。

14 主耶和華又曰、爾有殊色、榮煌赫奕、名震列邦、我使之然。

15 惟爾自恃其美、聲名洋溢、故縱私欲、無論何人、隨在與之行淫。

16 爾取衣服、五彩俱備、飾諸崇坵、狥欲而行、自昔迄今、未有若此、後亦無有。

17 爾亦取我所賜之金銀珍寶、作人之像、狥欲而行、

18 覆之以繡衣、以我之膏油、及芬芳之品、置於其前、

19 以我賜爾養生之麵、及油與蜜、陳於其前、以爲芬馥、誠有斯事、我耶和華已言之矣。

20 我賜爾生子女、爾以子女獻而焚之、爾狥欲若此、豈爲細故。

21 爾殺我子女、焚之以火、以敬偶像。

22 爾狥欲行淫之時、不憶在昔、若女初生、裸體染血。

23 主耶和華又曰、爾之禍災、重於山嶽、行惡若此、猶不知警、

24 在諸逵衢作高臺、以爲妓室、

25 爾於市廛、遍築高臺、招彼途人、與己行淫、爾雖殊色、人厭而棄之矣。

26 埃及鄰邦、淫風流行、爾狥欲與私、干我震怒、

27 故我降災、減爾糈糧、非利士人、羞爾淫行、深爲厭惡、故我以爾付於其手。

28 爾行淫無度、故與亞述人私、大縱厥欲、靡有底止。

29 在迦南行淫、至於迦勒底亦不知足。

30 主耶和華曰、爾行此事、有若淫婦、旣無羞惡之心、又精神之頓耗。

31 爾在逵衢、特搆高臺、以爲妓室、妓在圖利、爾則不專於利、

32 譬彼淫婦、背夫而私人、

33 居恒之時、人以金予娼、惟爾以金贈於所懽、使四方咸歸、

34 爾與他婦行淫、本甚懸殊、無人從爾、予爾以金、爾反以金予人、若是則爾與他婦不同可知矣、

35 爾爲娼妓、宜聽我言、

36 我耶和華曰、因爾崇拜可惡之偶像、殺子女以獻、亦施金與所歡、行淫無度、

37 故我必使爾所娛悅之人、集於一處、與爾所憎者偕居、旣集之後、我必裸爾體、使衆目覩。

38 我必罰爾、與背夫之婦、殺子之母同科、我怒甚烈、使爾飲刃、

39 我必付爾於敵手、摧爾妓室、毀爾高臺、去爾衣服、奪爾珍寶、俾爾裸體。

40 羣衆環攻、擊爾以石、殺爾以刃、

41 焚爾宅第、降罰爾身、使衆女目覩、然後爾不得行淫、無金予人、

42 如此我怒將息、不復憤烈。

43 主耶和華曰、爾不憶曩日、干我震怒、故必降罰、使爾所行、可惡之事、不復再蹈。

44 諺曰、女效母尤、後人必引此以指爾。

45 爾之所爲、若以亞摩哩人爲父、赫人爲母、爾母厭夫棄子、爾效其尤、爾姊妹厭夫棄子、爾亦效其尤。

46 爾之姊撒馬利亞及其衆女、居於爾左、爾之妹所多馬及其衆女、居於爾右、

47 爾視其所爲、尚爲細故、效其愆尤、猶爲不足、更作不義、深堪痛疾。

48 爾妹所多馬、及其衆女所爲、與爾曁衆女較之、猶不爲已甚、我耶和華固言之矣。

49 爾姊所多馬、及其衆女、所犯之罪、卽驕傲、饕餮、逸志、不恤貧乏、

50 詡詡自誇、干我所痛疾之事、故我不得不去之。

51 撒馬利亞人、蹈於愆尤、未及爾之半、乃爾較彼、多行不義、則撒馬利亞之過爲尤細。

52 爾責姊妹、適以取辱、蓋爾所爲、較彼尤甚、彼之過較爾爲輕、故爾當蒙羞抱愧。

53 越在後日、所多馬與撒馬利亞。及其衆女、我將返其俘囚、當時亦必返爾俘囚、

54 爾遭患難、爾姊妹見之、怨心悉平、則爾必自慙其素行。

55 爾之姊妹、所多馬與撒馬利亞、及其衆女、恢復故土、當時爾及衆女、亦可恢復故土。

56 昔爾強盛之日、爾惡未彰、亞蘭人及非利士人、曁四方衆女、猶未督責爾、凌辱爾、斯時也、爾視爾姊所多馬以爲不足挂齒、

57 併於上節

58 使爾負行淫之罪、我耶和華已言之矣。

59 主耶和華又曰、爾爽盟約、予必因爾所行以報之。

60 昔爾幼穉、我與爾立約、今予追憶之、更申前約、永世弗替。

61 以爾姊妹賜爾爲女、不循舊約、爾受之時、則追憶所爲、而蒙羞恥。

62 我必堅我約、使知我乃耶和華。

63 待我與爾復和、則爾當憶昔所爲、抱慙不已、不敢自伐、我耶和華已言之矣。

Ezekiel

Chapter 16

1 AGAIN the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations,

3 And say, Thus says the LORD God to Jerusalem: Your root and your nativity is of the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.

4 And as for the one who bore you, in the day you were born she did not cut your navel, neither did she wash you with water nor did she salt your body with salt nor wrap you in swaddling clothes at all.

5 Nor did her eye have pity upon you, to do any of these things to you and to have compassion upon you; but you were cast out in the open field, to the loathing of your person on the day that you were born.

6 And when I passed by you and saw you wallowing in your own blood, I said to you as you lay thus wallowing in your blood, Live,

7 And multiply like the grass of the field. And you have increased and grown great; then you went into the cities. Your breasts were formed and your hair had grown, but you were naked and bare.

8 Now when I passed by you and looked upon you, behold, you had reached the marriage age; and I spread my hand over you and covered your nakedness; yea, I swore to you and entered into a covenant with you, says the LORD God, and you became mine.

9 Then I bathed you with water, and I washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.

10 I clothed you also with embroidered clothes, and shod you with shoes; and I girded your loins with fine linen and clothed you with silk.

11 I decked you also with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace on your neck.

12 And I put a jewel on your forehead and earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.

13 Thus you were decked with gold and gems, and you were clothed with fine linen and purple and embroidered cloth; and you ate fine flour and honey and oil; and you became exceedingly beautiful, and you grew prosperous among the kingdoms.

14 And your renown went forth among the Gentiles for your beauty, because of the beautiful crown of my glory which I put upon you, says the LORD God.

15 But you trusted in your own beauty and played the harlot because of your renown, and poured out your fornications on every one who passed by;

16 And you took some of my garments and decorated the high places for yourself, and played the harlot upon them; they shall not be brought back, neither shall they be yours.

17 You have also taken your costly jewels of gold and silver which I had given you, and made to yourself images of men, and committed whoredom with them;

18 And you took your embroidered garments and covered them; and you have set my oil and my incense before them.

19 And the food which I gave you, the fine flour and oil and honey with which I fed you, you have set before them for a sweet savor; says the LORD God.

20 Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you had borne to me, and these you have sacrificed to them for food. These things you did besides your whoredoms,

21 That you have slaughtered my children, and offered them to the idols after you had been ravished by them.

22 And in all your abominations and your whoredoms you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare and lay wallowing in blood.

23 And after all your wickedness, woe, woe to you! says the LORD God;

24 You have built yourself a house of idols, and made yourself altars in every street.

25 You have built yourself small temples for idol worship at every head of the way, and defiled your beauty and exposed yourself to every one that passed by, and multiplied your fornications.

26 You have also played the harlot with the Egyptians your neighbors, who have large male organs; and you have multiplied your fornications, to provoke me to anger.

27 Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand against you and have abolished your ordinances and delivered you into the hand of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who rebuked you because of your ways of whoredom.

28 You have played the whore also with the Assyrians, and yet you were not satisfied.

29 You have moreover multiplied your fornications in the land of Canaan and in Chaldea; and yet, even with them you were not satisfied.

30 How shall I judge you, O daughter, says the LORD God, seeing that you did all these things, the works of a whore and a rebellious woman?

31 In that you built your notorious shrines at the head of every way, and set your altars in every street; and yet you were not as clever as a harlot who charges a price;

32 And even not as clever as a whorish wife who takes a price from strangers.

33 Men pay a price to all harlots; but instead you pay a price to all your lovers and bribe them with your whoredom, that they may come to you from every side round about you.

34 So you are different from other women in your whoredoms, in that you pay others a price, and no one pays a price to you.

35 Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD;

36 Thus says the LORD God: Because you have practiced divination and exposed your nakedness through your whoredoms with your lovers, and because of all the idols of your abominations and the blood of your children which you offered to them;

37 Behold, therefore I will gather all your lovers with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those you have loved, with all those you have hated; I will even gather them against you from every side and will expose your nakedness in their presence, and they shall see all your nakedness.

38 And I will judge you with the judgment of an adulteress, and as those who shed blood are judged; and I will deliver you to slaughter and to fury and indignation.

39 And I will also deliver you into their hands, and shall demolish your brothels and tear down the houses of your idols; they shall strip you also of your clothes, and shall take your precious jewels and leave you naked and bare.

40 They shall also bring up multitudes of people against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.

41 And they shall burn you in the midst of fire, and execute judgments upon you in the sight of many women; and I will cause you to cease from playing the harlot, and you also shall give no hire to your lovers any more.

42 So will I make my wrath to rest upon you, and my indignation shall depart from you, and I will be quiet and will be no more angry.

43 Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have provoked me in all these things; behold, therefore I have also recompensed your evil ways upon your head, says the LORD God, because you have committed abomination and fornication.

44 Behold, every one who uses a proverb shall use this proverb against you, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.

45 You are your mother's daughter, who deserted her husband and her children; and you are the sister of women who deserted their husbands and their children; your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.

46 And your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand with her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom with her daughters.

47 Yet you have not walked according to their ways, nor done according to their abominations; but in a very little time you became more corrupt than they in all your ways.

48 As I live, says the LORD God, Sodom your sister and her daughters have not done as you and your daughters have done.

49 Behold, this is the iniquity of Sodom your proud sister: she and her daughters had abundant food and lived in tranquillity, but she did not help the poor and needy.

50 And they were haughty and committed evil before me; therefore when I saw these things in them I overthrew them.

51 Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they and have outdone your sisters in all your abominations which you have committed.

52 You also shall endure the shame because you have outdone your sisters in your sins, and have polluted yourself more than they; they are more righteous than you; you must be confounded also and bear your shame, for your sisters are more righteous than you.

53 I will bring back their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters; then I will cause the captivity of your exiles to be carried among them,

54 That you may bear shame and be confounded in all that you have done to provoke my anger.

55 When your sister Sodom, with her daughters, shall be restored to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters shall be restored to their former state, then you and your daughters shall be restored to your former state.

56 For your sister Sodom was not a proverb in your mouth in the day of your pride,

57 Before your wickedness was exposed, as she was at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Edom, when all the daughters of the Philistines who were round about her used to despise her.

58 Now you bear your lewdness and your abominations, says the LORD God.

59 For thus says the LORD God: I will even deal with you as you have done, because you have despised my oaths and nullified my covenant.

60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish with you an everlasting covenant.

61 Then you shall remember your evil ways and be ashamed, when I take your sisters, the elder and the younger, and give them to you for daughters, but not because of your covenant.

62 And I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am the LORD,

63 Because you shall remember and be ashamed, and never open your mouth any more because of your shame, for I have forgiven you for all that you have done, says the LORD God.

3 And say, Thus says the LORD God to Jerusalem: Your root and your nativity is of the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.

4 生時不斷臍、不澡身、不施以鹽、不裹以衣、

4 And as for the one who bore you, in the day you were born she did not cut your navel, neither did she wash you with water nor did she salt your body with salt nor wrap you in swaddling clothes at all.

5 矜恤爾善待爾者、迄無一人、乃生之日、人棄於田、生命難保。

5 Nor did her eye have pity upon you, to do any of these things to you and to have compassion upon you; but you were cast out in the open field, to the loathing of your person on the day that you were born.

6 我過時、見爾染血、幾遭蹂躪、則賜爾生、染血之時、我賜爾生。

6 And when I passed by you and saw you wallowing in your own blood, I said to you as you lay thus wallowing in your blood, Live,

7 我使爾漸長、若林樹萌芽、爾體窈窕、容顏韶秀、乳堅髮長、猶無衣以蔽體。

7 And multiply like the grass of the field. And you have increased and grown great; then you went into the cities. Your breasts were formed and your hair had grown, but you were naked and bare.

8 主耶和華曰、我過而見汝、若女及笄、我以裾覆爾、締結姻盟、于歸乎我。

8 Now when I passed by you and looked upon you, behold, you had reached the marriage age; and I spread my hand over you and covered your nakedness; yea, I swore to you and entered into a covenant with you, says the LORD God, and you became mine.

9 我洗爾以水、去爾污衊、沐爾以膏、

9 Then I bathed you with water, and I washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.

10 衣爾以繡、以貂皮作履、以棉爲巾幗、以絲爲長服、

10 I clothed you also with embroidered clothes, and shod you with shoes; and I girded your loins with fine linen and clothed you with silk.

11 加以首飾、著釧於手、垂金於項、

11 I decked you also with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace on your neck.

12 置環於鼻、懸珥於耳、戴冕於首、備極華美、

12 And I put a jewel on your forehead and earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.

13 以金銀飾爾之體、以棉絲絺繡、被爾之身、以麵及蜜與油、果爾之腹、遂成艷麗、邦國之興、亦若是。

13 Thus you were decked with gold and gems, and you were clothed with fine linen and purple and embroidered cloth; and you ate fine flour and honey and oil; and you became exceedingly beautiful, and you grew prosperous among the kingdoms.

14 主耶和華又曰、爾有殊色、榮煌赫奕、名震列邦、我使之然。

14 And your renown went forth among the Gentiles for your beauty, because of the beautiful crown of my glory which I put upon you, says the LORD God.

15 惟爾自恃其美、聲名洋溢、故縱私欲、無論何人、隨在與之行淫。

15 But you trusted in your own beauty and played the harlot because of your renown, and poured out your fornications on every one who passed by;

16 爾取衣服、五彩俱備、飾諸崇坵、狥欲而行、自昔迄今、未有若此、後亦無有。

16 And you took some of my garments and decorated the high places for yourself, and played the harlot upon them; they shall not be brought back, neither shall they be yours.

17 爾亦取我所賜之金銀珍寶、作人之像、狥欲而行、

17 You have also taken your costly jewels of gold and silver which I had given you, and made to yourself images of men, and committed whoredom with them;

18 覆之以繡衣、以我之膏油、及芬芳之品、置於其前、

18 And you took your embroidered garments and covered them; and you have set my oil and my incense before them.

19 以我賜爾養生之麵、及油與蜜、陳於其前、以爲芬馥、誠有斯事、我耶和華已言之矣。

19 And the food which I gave you, the fine flour and oil and honey with which I fed you, you have set before them for a sweet savor; says the LORD God.

20 我賜爾生子女、爾以子女獻而焚之、爾狥欲若此、豈爲細故。

20 Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you had borne to me, and these you have sacrificed to them for food. These things you did besides your whoredoms,

21 爾殺我子女、焚之以火、以敬偶像。

21 That you have slaughtered my children, and offered them to the idols after you had been ravished by them.

22 爾狥欲行淫之時、不憶在昔、若女初生、裸體染血。

22 And in all your abominations and your whoredoms you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare and lay wallowing in blood.

23 主耶和華又曰、爾之禍災、重於山嶽、行惡若此、猶不知警、

23 And after all your wickedness, woe, woe to you! says the LORD God;

24 在諸逵衢作高臺、以爲妓室、

24 You have built yourself a house of idols, and made yourself altars in every street.

25 爾於市廛、遍築高臺、招彼途人、與己行淫、爾雖殊色、人厭而棄之矣。

25 You have built yourself small temples for idol worship at every head of the way, and defiled your beauty and exposed yourself to every one that passed by, and multiplied your fornications.

26 埃及鄰邦、淫風流行、爾狥欲與私、干我震怒、

26 You have also played the harlot with the Egyptians your neighbors, who have large male organs; and you have multiplied your fornications, to provoke me to anger.

27 故我降災、減爾糈糧、非利士人、羞爾淫行、深爲厭惡、故我以爾付於其手。

27 Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand against you and have abolished your ordinances and delivered you into the hand of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who rebuked you because of your ways of whoredom.

28 爾行淫無度、故與亞述人私、大縱厥欲、靡有底止。

28 You have played the whore also with the Assyrians, and yet you were not satisfied.

29 在迦南行淫、至於迦勒底亦不知足。

29 You have moreover multiplied your fornications in the land of Canaan and in Chaldea; and yet, even with them you were not satisfied.

30 主耶和華曰、爾行此事、有若淫婦、旣無羞惡之心、又精神之頓耗。

30 How shall I judge you, O daughter, says the LORD God, seeing that you did all these things, the works of a whore and a rebellious woman?

31 爾在逵衢、特搆高臺、以爲妓室、妓在圖利、爾則不專於利、

31 In that you built your notorious shrines at the head of every way, and set your altars in every street; and yet you were not as clever as a harlot who charges a price;

32 譬彼淫婦、背夫而私人、

32 And even not as clever as a whorish wife who takes a price from strangers.

33 居恒之時、人以金予娼、惟爾以金贈於所懽、使四方咸歸、

33 Men pay a price to all harlots; but instead you pay a price to all your lovers and bribe them with your whoredom, that they may come to you from every side round about you.

34 爾與他婦行淫、本甚懸殊、無人從爾、予爾以金、爾反以金予人、若是則爾與他婦不同可知矣、

34 So you are different from other women in your whoredoms, in that you pay others a price, and no one pays a price to you.

35 爾爲娼妓、宜聽我言、

35 Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD;

36 我耶和華曰、因爾崇拜可惡之偶像、殺子女以獻、亦施金與所歡、行淫無度、

36 Thus says the LORD God: Because you have practiced divination and exposed your nakedness through your whoredoms with your lovers, and because of all the idols of your abominations and the blood of your children which you offered to them;

37 故我必使爾所娛悅之人、集於一處、與爾所憎者偕居、旣集之後、我必裸爾體、使衆目覩。

37 Behold, therefore I will gather all your lovers with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those you have loved, with all those you have hated; I will even gather them against you from every side and will expose your nakedness in their presence, and they shall see all your nakedness.

38 我必罰爾、與背夫之婦、殺子之母同科、我怒甚烈、使爾飲刃、

38 And I will judge you with the judgment of an adulteress, and as those who shed blood are judged; and I will deliver you to slaughter and to fury and indignation.

39 我必付爾於敵手、摧爾妓室、毀爾高臺、去爾衣服、奪爾珍寶、俾爾裸體。

39 And I will also deliver you into their hands, and shall demolish your brothels and tear down the houses of your idols; they shall strip you also of your clothes, and shall take your precious jewels and leave you naked and bare.

40 羣衆環攻、擊爾以石、殺爾以刃、

40 They shall also bring up multitudes of people against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.

41 焚爾宅第、降罰爾身、使衆女目覩、然後爾不得行淫、無金予人、

41 And they shall burn you in the midst of fire, and execute judgments upon you in the sight of many women; and I will cause you to cease from playing the harlot, and you also shall give no hire to your lovers any more.

42 如此我怒將息、不復憤烈。

42 So will I make my wrath to rest upon you, and my indignation shall depart from you, and I will be quiet and will be no more angry.

43 主耶和華曰、爾不憶曩日、干我震怒、故必降罰、使爾所行、可惡之事、不復再蹈。

43 Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have provoked me in all these things; behold, therefore I have also recompensed your evil ways upon your head, says the LORD God, because you have committed abomination and fornication.

44 諺曰、女效母尤、後人必引此以指爾。

44 Behold, every one who uses a proverb shall use this proverb against you, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.

45 爾之所爲、若以亞摩哩人爲父、赫人爲母、爾母厭夫棄子、爾效其尤、爾姊妹厭夫棄子、爾亦效其尤。

45 You are your mother's daughter, who deserted her husband and her children; and you are the sister of women who deserted their husbands and their children; your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.

46 爾之姊撒馬利亞及其衆女、居於爾左、爾之妹所多馬及其衆女、居於爾右、

46 And your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand with her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom with her daughters.

47 爾視其所爲、尚爲細故、效其愆尤、猶爲不足、更作不義、深堪痛疾。

47 Yet you have not walked according to their ways, nor done according to their abominations; but in a very little time you became more corrupt than they in all your ways.

48 爾妹所多馬、及其衆女所爲、與爾曁衆女較之、猶不爲已甚、我耶和華固言之矣。

48 As I live, says the LORD God, Sodom your sister and her daughters have not done as you and your daughters have done.

49 爾姊所多馬、及其衆女、所犯之罪、卽驕傲、饕餮、逸志、不恤貧乏、

49 Behold, this is the iniquity of Sodom your proud sister: she and her daughters had abundant food and lived in tranquillity, but she did not help the poor and needy.

50 詡詡自誇、干我所痛疾之事、故我不得不去之。

50 And they were haughty and committed evil before me; therefore when I saw these things in them I overthrew them.

51 撒馬利亞人、蹈於愆尤、未及爾之半、乃爾較彼、多行不義、則撒馬利亞之過爲尤細。

51 Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they and have outdone your sisters in all your abominations which you have committed.

52 爾責姊妹、適以取辱、蓋爾所爲、較彼尤甚、彼之過較爾爲輕、故爾當蒙羞抱愧。

52 You also shall endure the shame because you have outdone your sisters in your sins, and have polluted yourself more than they; they are more righteous than you; you must be confounded also and bear your shame, for your sisters are more righteous than you.

53 越在後日、所多馬與撒馬利亞。及其衆女、我將返其俘囚、當時亦必返爾俘囚、

53 I will bring back their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters; then I will cause the captivity of your exiles to be carried among them,

54 爾遭患難、爾姊妹見之、怨心悉平、則爾必自慙其素行。

54 That you may bear shame and be confounded in all that you have done to provoke my anger.

55 爾之姊妹、所多馬與撒馬利亞、及其衆女、恢復故土、當時爾及衆女、亦可恢復故土。

55 When your sister Sodom, with her daughters, shall be restored to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters shall be restored to their former state, then you and your daughters shall be restored to your former state.

56 昔爾強盛之日、爾惡未彰、亞蘭人及非利士人、曁四方衆女、猶未督責爾、凌辱爾、斯時也、爾視爾姊所多馬以爲不足挂齒、

56 For your sister Sodom was not a proverb in your mouth in the day of your pride,

57 併於上節

57 Before your wickedness was exposed, as she was at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Edom, when all the daughters of the Philistines who were round about her used to despise her.

58 使爾負行淫之罪、我耶和華已言之矣。

58 Now you bear your lewdness and your abominations, says the LORD God.

59 主耶和華又曰、爾爽盟約、予必因爾所行以報之。

59 For thus says the LORD God: I will even deal with you as you have done, because you have despised my oaths and nullified my covenant.

60 昔爾幼穉、我與爾立約、今予追憶之、更申前約、永世弗替。

60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish with you an everlasting covenant.

61 以爾姊妹賜爾爲女、不循舊約、爾受之時、則追憶所爲、而蒙羞恥。

61 Then you shall remember your evil ways and be ashamed, when I take your sisters, the elder and the younger, and give them to you for daughters, but not because of your covenant.

62 我必堅我約、使知我乃耶和華。

62 And I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am the LORD,

63 待我與爾復和、則爾當憶昔所爲、抱慙不已、不敢自伐、我耶和華已言之矣。

63 Because you shall remember and be ashamed, and never open your mouth any more because of your shame, for I have forgiven you for all that you have done, says the LORD God.
