Hebrew Names Version HNV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
1
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, `Son of man,
2 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
2
Two women were daughters of one mother,
3 and they played the prostitute in Mitzrayim; they played the prostitute in their youth; there were their breasts pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity.
3
And they go a-whoring in Egypt, In their youth they have gone a-whoring, There they have bruised their breasts, And there they have dealt with the loves of their virginity.
4 The names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholivah her sister: and they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Shomron is Oholah, and Yerushalayim Oholivah
4
And their names [are] Aholah the elder, And Aholibah her sister, And they are Mine, and bear sons and daughters. As to their names -- Samaria [is] Aholah, And Jerusalem [is] Aholibah
5 Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Ashshur [her] neighbors,
5
And go a-whoring doth Aholah under Me, And she doteth on her lovers, On the neighbouring Assyrians,
6 who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
6
Clothed with blue -- governors and prefects, Desirable young men all of them, Horsemen, riding on horses,
7 She bestowed her prostitution on them, the choicest men of Ashshur all of them; and on whoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself.
7
And she giveth her whoredoms on them, The choice of the sons of Asshur, All of them -- even all on whom she doted, By all their idols she hath been defiled.
8 Neither has she left her prostitution since [the days of] Mitzrayim; for in her youth they lay with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity; and they poured out their prostitution on her.
8
And her whoredoms out of Egypt she hath not forsaken, For with her they lay in her youth, And they dealt with the loves of her virginity, And they pour out their whoredoms on her.
9 Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Ashshur, on whom she doted.
9
Therefore I have given her into the hand of her lovers, Into the hand of sons of Asshur 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.
10
They have uncovered her nakedness, Her sons and her daughters they have taken, And her by sword they have slain, And she is a name for women, And judgments they have done with her.
11 Her sister Oholivah 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.
11
And see doth her sister Aholibah, And she maketh her doting love more corrupt than she, And her whoredoms than the whoredoms of her sister.
12 She doted on the Ashshur, governors and rulers, [her] neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.
12
On sons of Asshur she hath doted, Governors and prefects, Neighbouring ones -- clothed in perfection, Horsemen, riding on horses, Desirable young men all of them.
13 I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way.
13
And I see that she hath been defiled, One way [is] to them both.
14 She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Kasdim portrayed with vermilion
14
And she doth add unto her whoredoms, And she seeth graved men on the wall, Pictures of Chaldeans, graved with red lead
15 girded with girdles on their loins, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them princes to look on, after the likeness of the Bavlites in Kasdim, the land of their birth.
15
Girded with a girdle on their loins, Dyed attire spread out on their heads, The appearance of rulers -- all of them, The likeness of sons of Babylon, Chaldea is the land of their birth.
16 As soon as she saw them she doted on them, and sent messengers to them into Kasdim.
16
And she doteth on them at the sight of her eyes, And sendeth messengers to them, to Chaldea.
17 The Bavlites 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.
17
And come in unto her do sons of Babylon, To the bed of loves, And they defile her with their whoredoms, And she is defiled with them, And her soul is 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.
18
And she revealeth her whoredoms, And she revealeth her nakedness, And alienated is My soul from off her, As alienated was My soul from off 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 Mitzrayim
19
And she multiplieth her whoredoms, To remember the days of her youth, When she went a-whoring 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.
20
And she doteth on their paramours, Whose flesh [is] the flesh of asses, And the issue of horses -- their issue.
21 Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the handling of your bosom by the Mitzrim for the breasts of your youth
21
Thou lookest after the wickedness of thy youth, In dealing out of Egypt thy loves, For the sake of the breasts of thy youth
22 Therefore, Oholivah, thus says the Lord GOD: 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:
22
Therefore, O Aholibah, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am stirring up thy lovers against thee, From whom thy soul hath been alienated, And have brought them in against thee from round about.
23 the Bavlites and all the Kasdim, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, [and] all the Ashshur with them; desirable young men, governors and rulers all of them, princes and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.
23
Sons of Babylon, and of all Chaldea, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, All the sons of Asshur with them, Desirable young men, governors and prefects, All of them -- rulers and proclaimed ones, Riding on horses, all of them.
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 round about; and I will commit the judgment to them, and they shall judge you according to their judgments.
24
And they have come in against thee, With arms, rider, and wheel, And with an assembly of peoples; Target, and shield, and helmet, They do set against thee round about, And I have set before them judgment, They have judged thee in 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.
25
And I have set My jealousy against thee, And they have dealt with thee in fury, Thy nose and thine ears they turn aside, And thy posterity by sword falleth, They, thy sons and thy daughters do take away, And thy posterity is devoured by fire.
26 They shall also strip you of your clothes, and take away your beautiful jewels.
26
And they have stripped thee of thy garments, And have taken thy beauteous jewels.
27 Thus will I make your lewdness to cease from you, and your prostitution [brought] from the land of Mitzrayim; so that you shall not lift up your eyes to them, nor remember Mitzrayim any more.
27
And I have caused thy wickedness to cease from thee, And thy whoredoms out of the land of Egypt, And thou liftest not up thine eyes unto them, And Egypt thou dost not remember again.
28 For thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them from whom your soul is alienated;
28
For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am giving thee into a hand that thou hast hated, Into a hand from which thou wast 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.
29
And they have dealt with thee in hatred, And they have taken all thy labour, And they have left thee naked and bare, And revealed hath been the nakedness of thy whoredoms, And the wickedness of thy whoredoms.
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.
30
To do these things to thee, In thy going a-whoring after nations, Because thou hast been defiled with their idols,
31 You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore will I give her cup into your hand.
31
In the way of thy sister thou hast walked, And I have given her cup into thy hand.
32 Thus says the Lord GOD: You shall drink of your sister's cup, which is deep and large; you shall be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it contains much.
32
Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The cup of thy sister thou dost drink, The deep and the wide one, (Thou art for laughter and for scorn,) Abundant to contain.
33 You shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Shomron.
33
With drunkenness and sorrow thou art filled, A cup of astonishment and desolation, The cup of thy 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 GOD.
34
And thou hast drunk it, and hast drained [it], And its earthen ware thou dost gnaw, And thine own breasts thou pluckest off, For I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah,
35 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you have forgotten me, and cast me behind your back, therefore bear you also your lewdness and your prostitution.
35
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast forgotten Me, And thou dost cast Me behind thy back, Even thou also bear thy wickedness and thy whoredoms.'
36 The LORD said moreover to me: Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholivah? then declare to them their abominations
36
And Jehovah saith unto me, `Son of man, Dost thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? Declare then 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.
37
For they have committed adultery, And blood [is] in their hands, With their idols they committed adultery, And also their sons whom they bore to Me, They caused to pass over to them for food.
38 Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my Shabbatot
38
Again, this they have done to Me, They defiled My sanctuary in that day, And My sabbaths they have polluted
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.
39
And in their slaughtering their sons to their idols They also come in unto My sanctuary in that day to pollute it, And lo, thus they have 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 deck yourself with ornaments,
40
And also that they send to men coming from afar, Unto whom a messenger is sent, And lo, they have come in for whom thou hast washed, Painted thine eyes, and put on adornment.
41 and sit on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you did set my incense and my oil.
41
And thou hast sat on a couch of honour, And a table arrayed before it, And My perfume and My oil placed on it.
42 The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with men of the common sort were brought Sava'im from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on the hands of them [twain], and beautiful crowns on their heads.
42
And the voice of a multitude at ease [is] with her, And unto men of the common people are brought in Sabeans from the wilderness, And they put bracelets on their hands, And a beauteous crown on their heads.
43 Then said I of her who was old in adulteries, Now will they play the prostitute with her, and she [with them].
43
And I say of the worn-out one in adulteries, Now they commit her whoredoms -- she also!
44 They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute: so went they in to Oholah and to Oholivah, the lewd women.
44
And they come in unto her, As the coming in unto a whorish woman, So they have come in unto Aholah, And unto Aholibah -- the wicked 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.
45
As to righteous men, they judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, And the judgment of women shedding blood, For they [are] adulteresses, And blood [is] in their hands.
46 For thus says the Lord GOD: I will bring up a company against them, and will give them to be tossed back and forth and robbed.
46
For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Bring up against them an assembly, And give them to trembling and to spoiling.
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.
47
And they have cast at them the stone of the assembly, And cut them with their swords, Their sons and their daughters they do slay, And their houses with fire they burn.
48 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.
48
And I have caused wickedness to cease from the land, And instructed have been all the women, And they do not according to your wickedness.
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 GOD.
49
And they have put your wickedness on you, And the sins of your idols ye bear, And ye have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah!
