¹ 耶和华的话又临到我说：

² 人子啊，有两个女子，是一母所生，

³ 他们在埃及行邪淫，在幼年时行邪淫。他们在那里作处女的时候，有人拥抱他们的怀，抚摸他们的乳。

⁴ 他们的名字，姊姊名叫阿荷拉，妹妹名叫阿荷利巴。他们都归於我，生了儿女。论到他们的名字，阿荷拉就是撒玛利亚，阿荷利巴就是耶路撒冷。

⁵ 阿荷拉归我之後行邪淫，贪恋所爱的人，就是他的邻邦亚述人。

⁶ 这些人都穿蓝衣，作省长、副省长，都骑着马，是可爱的少年人。

⁷ 阿荷拉就与亚述人中最美的男子放纵淫行，他因所恋爱之人的一切偶像，玷污自己。

⁸ 自从在埃及的时候，他就没有离开淫乱，因为他年幼作处女的时候，埃及人与他行淫，抚摸他的乳，纵欲与他行淫。

⁹ 因此，我将他交在他所爱的人手中，就是他所恋爱的亚述人手中。

¹⁰ 他们就露了他的下体，掳掠他的儿女，用刀杀了他，使他在妇女中留下臭名，因他们向他施行审判。

¹¹ 他妹妹阿荷利巴虽然看见了，却还贪恋，比他姊姊更丑；行淫乱比他姊姊更多。

¹² 他贪恋邻邦的亚述人，就是穿极华美的衣服，骑着马的省长、副省长，都是可爱的少年人。

¹³ 我看见他被玷污了，他姊妹二人同行一路。

¹⁴ 阿荷利巴又加增淫行，因他看见人像画在墙上，就是用丹色所画迦勒底人的像，

¹⁵ 腰间系着带子，头上有下垂的裹头巾，都是军长的形状，仿照巴比伦人的形像；他们的故土就是迦勒底。

¹⁶ 阿荷利巴一看见就贪恋他们，打发使者往迦勒底去见他们。

¹⁷ 巴比伦人就来登他爱情的床，与他行淫玷污他。他被玷污，随後心里与他们生疏。

¹⁸ 这样，他显露淫行，又显露下体；我心就与他生疏，像先前与他姊姊生疏一样。

¹⁹ 他还加增他的淫行，追念他幼年在埃及地行邪淫的日子，

²⁰ 贪恋情人身壮精足，如驴如马。

²¹ 这样，你就想起你幼年的淫行。那时，埃及人拥抱你的怀，抚摸你的乳。

²² 阿荷利巴啊，主耶和华如此说：我必激动你先爱而後生疏的人来攻击你。我必使他们来，在你四围攻击你。

²³ 所来的就是巴比伦人、迦勒底的众人、比割人、书亚人、哥亚人，同着他们的还有亚述众人，乃是作省长、副省长、作军长有名声的，都骑着马，是可爱的少年人。

²⁴ 他们必带兵器、战车、辎重车，率领大众来攻击你。他们要拿大小盾牌，顶盔摆阵，在你四围攻击你。我要将审判的事交给他们，他们必按着自己的条例审判你。

²⁵ 我必以忌恨攻击你；他们必以忿怒办你。他们必割去你的鼻子和耳朵；你遗留（或译：馀剩；下同）的人必倒在刀下。他们必掳去你的儿女；你所遗留的必被火焚烧。

²⁶ 他们必剥去你的衣服，夺取你华美的宝器。

²⁷ 这样，我必使你的淫行和你从埃及地染来的淫乱止息了，使你不再仰望亚述，也不再追念埃及。

²⁸ 主耶和华如此说：我必将你交在你所恨恶的人手中，就是你心与他生疏的人手中。

²⁹ 他们必以恨恶办你，夺取你一切劳碌得来的，留下你赤身露体。你淫乱的下体，连你的淫行，带你的淫乱，都被显露。

³⁰ 人必向你行这些事；因为你随从外邦人行邪淫，被他们的偶像玷污了。

³¹ 你走了你姊姊所走的路，所以我必将他的杯交在你手中。

³² 主耶和华如此说：你必喝你姊姊所喝的杯；那杯又深又广，盛得甚多，使你被人嗤笑讥刺。

³³ 你必酩酊大醉，满有愁苦，喝乾你姊姊撒玛利亚的杯，就是令人惊骇凄凉的杯。

³⁴ 你必喝这杯，以致喝尽。杯破又龈杯片，撕裂自己的乳；因为这事我曾说过。这是主耶和华说的。

³⁵ 主耶和华如此说：因你忘记我，将我丢在背後，所以你要担当你淫行和淫乱的报应。

³⁶ 耶和华又对我说：人子啊，你要审问阿荷拉与阿荷利巴麽？当指出他们所行可憎的事。

³⁷ 他们行淫，手中有杀人的血，又与偶像行淫，并使他们为我所生的儿女经火烧给偶像。

³⁸ 此外，他们还有向我所行的，就是同日玷污我的圣所，干犯我的安息日。

³⁹ 他们杀了儿女献与偶像，当天又入我的圣所，将圣所亵渎了。他们在我殿中所行的乃是如此。

⁴⁰ 况且你们二妇打发使者去请远方人。使者到他们那里，他们就来了。你们为他们沐浴己身，粉饰眼目，佩戴妆饰，

⁴¹ 坐在华美的床上，前面摆设桌案，将我的香料膏油摆在其上。

⁴² 在那里有群众安逸欢乐的声音，并有粗俗的人和酒徒从旷野同来，把镯子戴在二妇的手上，把华冠戴在他们的头上。

⁴³ 我论这行淫衰老的妇人说：现在人还要与他行淫，他也要与人行淫。

⁴⁴ 人与阿荷拉，并阿荷利巴二淫妇苟合，好像与妓女苟合。

⁴⁵ 必有义人，照审判淫妇和流人血的妇人之例，审判他们；因为他们是淫妇，手中有杀人的血。

⁴⁶ 主耶和华如此说：我必使多人来攻击他们，使他们抛来抛去，被人抢夺。

⁴⁷ 这些人必用石头打死他们，用刀剑杀害他们，又杀戮他们的儿女，用火焚烧他们的房屋。

⁴⁸ 这样，我必使淫行从境内止息，好叫一切妇人都受警戒，不效法你们的淫行。

⁴⁹ 人必照着你们的淫行报应你们；你们要担当拜偶像的罪，就知道我是主耶和华。

¹ The word of Yahweh came again to me, saying,

² Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:

³ and they played the prostitute in Egypt; they played the prostitute in their youth; there were their breasts pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity.

⁴ The names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.

⁵ Oholah played the prostitute 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 on horses.

⁷ She bestowed her prostitution on them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and on whoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself.

⁸ Neither has she left her prostitution 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 prostitution on her.

⁹ Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.

¹⁰ These uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters; and her they killed with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments on her.

¹¹ Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her prostitution which were more than the prostitution of her sister.

¹² She doted on the Assyrians, governors and rulers, [her] neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.

¹³ I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way.

¹⁴ She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,

¹⁵ dressed with girdles on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them princes to look on, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.

¹⁶ As soon as she saw them she doted on 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 prostitution, and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.

¹⁸ So she uncovered her prostitution, 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 prostitution, remembering the days of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute in the land of Egypt.

²⁰ She doted on their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

²¹ Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the handling of your bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of your youth.

²² Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is 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; desirable young men, governors and rulers all of them, princes and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.

²⁴ They shall come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples; they shall set themselves against you with buckler and shield and helmet all around; and I will commit the judgment to them, and they shall judge you according to their judgments.

²⁵ I will set my jealousy against you, and they shall deal with you in fury; they shall take away your nose and your ears; and your residue shall fall by the sword: they shall take your sons and your daughters; and your residue shall be devoured by the fire.

²⁶ They shall also strip you of your clothes, and take away your beautiful jewels.

²⁷ Thus will I make your lewdness to cease from you, and your prostitution [brought] from the land of Egypt; so that you shall not lift up your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.

²⁸ For thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them from whom your soul is alienated;

²⁹ and they shall deal with you in hatred, and shall take away all your labor, and shall leave you naked and bare; and the nakedness of your prostitution shall be uncovered, both your lewdness and your prostitution.

³⁰ These things shall be done to you, because you have played the prostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted with their idols.

³¹ You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore will I give her cup into your hand.

³² Thus says the Lord Yahweh: You will drink of your sister's cup, which is deep and large; you will be ridiculed and held in derision; it contains much.

³³ You shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria.

³⁴ You shall even drink it and drain it out, and you shall gnaw the broken pieces of it, and shall tear your breasts; for I have spoken it, says the Lord Yahweh.

³⁵ Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have forgotten me, and cast me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and your prostitution.

³⁶ Yahweh said moreover 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; and with their idols have they committed adultery; and they have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through [the fire] to them to be devoured.

³⁸ Moreover this they have done 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 behold, thus have they done in the midst of my house.

⁴⁰ Furthermore you have sent for men who come from far, to whom a messenger was sent, and behold, they came; for whom you did wash yourself, paint your eyes, and decorate yourself with ornaments,

⁴¹ and sit on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you set my incense and my oil.

⁴² 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 on the hands of them [twain], and beautiful crowns on their heads.

⁴³ Then I said of her who was old in adulteries, Now will they play the prostitute with her, and she [with them].

⁴⁴ They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute: so went they in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.

⁴⁵ Righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women who shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.

⁴⁶ For thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will bring up a company against them, and will give them to be tossed back and forth and robbed.

⁴⁷ The company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall kill 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 They shall recompense your lewdness on you, and you shall bear the sins of your idols; and you shall know that I am the Lord Yahweh.
