越在疇昔、我折爾軛、解爾結、爾曰、必不犯罪、然於群峰之巔、茂林之下、縱欲奉事偶像。

『因為你從古時就折斷了你的軛，掙開了你的繩索，說：「我不事奉永恆主了」；因為你在各高岡上各茂盛樹下屈身行淫。

昔爾折爾軛、斷爾繩、曰、我不順服、乃於諸高岡之上、各綠樹之下、屈身行淫、

我自昔折爾軛、解爾繩、爾曰、不復犯罪、然仍在各崇岡之上、各茂樹之下、奉事偶像、行若淫婦、

“ Long ago you broke off your yoke and tore off your bonds; you said,‘ I will not serve you!’ Indeed, on every high hill and under every spreading tree you lay down as a prostitute.

“ Long ago you broke off the yoke I put on you. You tore off the ropes I tied you up with. You said,‘ I won’t serve you!’ In fact, on every high hill you lay down like a prostitute. You worshiped other gods under every green tree.

“ For long ago I broke your yoke and burst your bonds; but you said,‘ I will not serve.’ Yes, on every high hill and under every green tree you bowed down like a whore.

“ Long ago I broke the yoke that oppressed you and tore away the chains of your slavery, but still you said,‘ I will not serve you.’ On every hill and under every green tree, you have prostituted yourselves by bowing down to idols.

For long ago I broke your yoke; I tore off your chains. You insisted,“ I will not serve!” On every high hill and under every green tree you lay down like a prostitute.

“ For long ago I broke your yoke And tore off your restraints; But you said,‘ I will not serve!’ For on every high hill And under every leafy tree You have lain down as a prostitute.

“ For of old I have broken your yoke and burst your bonds; And you said,‘ I will not transgress,’ When on every high hill and under every green tree You lay down, playing the harlot.

For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bonds; and thou saidst, I will not serve; for upon every high hill and under every green tree thou didst bow thyself, playing the harlot.

For long ago I broke your yoke; I tore off your chains. You insisted,“ I will not serve!” On every high hill and under every green tree you lie down like a prostitute.

For of old time I have broken thy yoke,[ and] burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot.

“ Indeed, long ago you threw off my authority and refused to be subject to me. You said,‘ I will not serve you.’ Instead, you gave yourself to other gods on every high hill and under every green tree, like a prostitute sprawls out before her lovers.

“ For long ago I broke off your yoke, and burst your bonds. You said,‘ I will not serve;’ for on every high hill and under every green tree you bowed yourself, playing the prostitute.

爾所驅之民、服事其上帝、無論高山之巔、茂林之下、爾必廢其處、

我耶和華爾之上帝、導爾出埃及、脫爾於賤役、毀爾所負之軛、使爾徑行直遂。

茂林之下、高岡之上、建置祭壇、樹立偶像、彼之子女憶之。

萬有之主耶和華曰、予當斯時、將折懸項之軛、斷其縶維、不許異邦人役爾。

爾邑自古以來、風俗敦龐、以迄於今、漸流於淫靡矣。昔也行仁義者居之、茲也嗜殺人者處之。

告之曰、爾當恆與我居、不可行淫、勿從他人、我養贍爾、

爾行淫無度、故與亞述人私、大縱厥欲、靡有底止。

當約西亞王年間、耶和華告耶利米曰、以色列族有若淫婦、爾豈不見乎、彼背我、陟高巒、入茂林、狥欲而行。我見其所為、欲其歸誠、惟彼不從、其與猶大族、親若姊妹、猶大族效尤、屢欺侮予。以色列族既背我、狥欲而行、我棄之、與以離書、其姊妹猶大族、屢欺侮予、毫無畏葸、狥欲而行、我鑒察之、彼狥欲特甚、崇拜木石、污衊斯邦、厥後佯為歸誠、心不誠慤。○

此子之母狥欲、所作之事、言之甚醜、彼曰、我之所懽、予我飲食、贈我枲綿、饋我酒油、我必從之、

摩西以耶和華所諭命令法度、遍告億兆、同聲對曰、耶和華所諭、我必遵行。

以是言錄於上帝律例册、立大石於橡下、近耶和華聖室。

我必折爾軛、解爾結、

昔米田人虐遇斯民、負以重軛、加以鞭扑、爾拯救之、折其杖箠、迄於今、亦若是、

當是時爾可弛其負荷、去其仔肩、若牛甚肥健、而折其軛。

惟爾自恃其美、聲名洋溢、故縱私欲、無論何人、隨在與之行淫。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。

我降臨以拯之、脫於埃及人手、導出其境、以詣至腴至廣之地、其地產乳與蜜、即迦南人、赫人、亞摩哩人、比哩洗人、希未人、耶布士人所處者。

爾盍近前、聞我上帝耶和華所言、傳之於我、我必遵行。

亞述軍至我地、陟我岡、我必覆亡之、蹂躪之、脫民於苛役、去民之重軛、

民籲耶和華曰、我棄耶和華、事諸巴力亞大綠、以干罪戾、今可拯我於敵、我仍事爾。

今日汝以耶和華為爾上帝、言必由其道、守其禮儀、禁令法度、

斷不容爾以他上帝匹我、此乃我耶和華之名也、故他上帝爾勿崇拜。勿與居民立約、恐彼狥欲、從其上帝而獻祭、遂招爾曹共食祭物。恐爾取其女為媳、其女狥欲從其上帝、以惑爾子亦狥欲以從。

眾論僉同、對曰、耶和華所諭、敢弗奉行、摩西乃以民言覆於耶和華、耶和華曰、我乘密雲、臨格爾上、我與爾言、俾民聽聞、而篤信爾、歷久弗渝。

民謂約書亞曰、我欲奉事我上帝耶和華而遵其命。

猶大地固有節期、耶羅破暗別設節期、於八月之望、獻祭於壇、亦在伯特利祭所作之犢、以所任為崇邱之祭司、置於伯特利。

對曰、爾所諭者、我悉遵行、爾遣我所至之地、我必前往。

昔爾之上帝耶和華、救爾於埃及、爾所目擊焉、豈有施大能巨力、異跡奇事、爭戰災害、事事可畏、以救他民、出於敵手乎。

焚爾宅第、降罰爾身、使眾女目睹、然後爾不得行淫、無金予人、

在諸逵衢作高臺、以為妓室、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。

彼築崇邱、干其憤怒、彼事偶像、攖其忿懥兮、

我導之入迦南、踐我誓言、彼見高巒茂林、遂獻祭奉禮、焚香灌奠、干我震怒。

有言出妻、任其他適、既出勿納、恐斯邦染其污衊。耶和華曰、惟爾縱欲背予、崇事他上帝、今使爾歸試於我、曠覽崇坵、何往非爾狥欲之地、爾憩坐途側以惑眾、若亞喇伯人、潛身曠野以害人、爾作惡縱欲、污衊斯邦。

爾在逵衢、特搆高臺、以為妓室、妓在圖利、爾則不專於利、

爾祭偶像、縱淫欲於茂林之下、戮嬰孩於巖谷之間、灌奠獻祭、奉事溪中光石、我豈能忍。

耶和華導爾出埃及、如脫冶爐、以爾為所得之民、即以今日之事為證。

爾當憶念、昔在埃及、爾為人役、乃爾上帝耶和華贖爾、故我以此諭爾。

亞何拉於歸之後、戀愛鄰邦亞述人、與之行淫。
