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 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

² "This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing. He shall be brought to the priest,

³ and the priest shall go forth out of the camp. The priest shall examine him, and behold, if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper,

⁴ then the priest shall command them to take for him who is to be cleansed two living clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.

⁵ The priest shall command them to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.

⁶ As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water.

⁷ He shall sprinkle on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird go into the open field.

⁸ "He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water; and he shall be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent seven days.

⁹ It shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off. He shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his body in water, then he shall be clean.

¹⁰ "On the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish, and three tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.

¹¹ The priest who cleanses him shall set the man who is to be cleansed, and those things, before Yahweh, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

¹² "The priest shall take one of the male lambs, and offer him for a trespass offering, with the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh.

¹³ He shall kill the male lamb in the place where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the place of the sanctuary; for as the sin offering is the priest's, so is the trespass offering. It is most holy.

¹⁴ The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

¹⁵ The priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand.

¹⁶ The priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before Yahweh.

¹⁷ The priest shall put some of the rest of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering.

¹⁸ The rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, and the priest shall make atonement for him before Yahweh.

¹⁹ "The priest shall offer the sin offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness: and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering;

²⁰ and the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meal offering on the altar. The priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.

²¹ "If he is poor, and can't afford so much, then he shall take one male lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil;

²² and two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.

²³ "On the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, before Yahweh.

²⁴ The priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh.

²⁵ He shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering. The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering and put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

²⁶ The priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand;

²⁷ and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before Yahweh.

²⁸ Then the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass offering.

²⁹ The rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before Yahweh.

³⁰ He shall offer one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he is able to afford,

³¹ even such as he is able to afford, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meal offering. The priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before Yahweh."

³² This is the law for him in whom is the plague of leprosy, who is not able to afford the sacrifice for his cleansing.

³³ Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

³⁴ "When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put a spreading mildew in a house in the land of your possession,

³⁵ then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, 'There seems to me to be some sort of plague in the house.'

³⁶ The priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes in to examine the plague, that all that is in the house not be made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to inspect the house.

³⁷ He shall examine the plague; and behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and it appears to be deeper than the wall;

³⁸ then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.

³⁹ The priest shall come again on the seventh day, and look. If the plague has spread in the walls of the house,

⁴⁰ then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which is the plague, and cast them into an unclean place outside of the city:

⁴¹ and he shall cause the inside of the house to be scraped all over, and they shall pour out the mortar, that they scraped off, outside of the city into an unclean place.

⁴² They shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.

⁴³ "If the plague comes again, and breaks out in the house, after he has taken out the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it was plastered;

⁴⁴ then the priest shall come in and look; and behold, if the plague has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew in the house. It is unclean.

⁴⁵ He shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the house's mortar. He shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.

⁴⁶ "Moreover he who goes into the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening.

⁴⁷ He who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.

⁴⁸ "If the priest shall come in, and examine it, and behold, the plague hasn't spread in the house, after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

⁴⁹ To cleanse the house he shall take two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.

⁵⁰ He shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.

⁵¹ He shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

⁵² He shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, with the living bird, with the cedar wood, with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;

⁵³ but he shall let the living bird go out of the city into the open field. So shall he make atonement for the house; and it shall be clean."

⁵⁴ This is the law for any plague of leprosy, and for an itch,

⁵⁵ and for the destructive mildew of a garment, and for a house,

⁵⁶ and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot;

⁵⁷ to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean. This is the law of leprosy.
