2Son of man, there were two women daughters of one mother.Sonne of man, there were a two wemen daughters of one mother.✦[Fili hominis, duæ mulieres filiæ matris unius fuerunt :
3And they fornicated in Egypt, in their youth they fornicated: there were their breasts pressed, and the paps of their virginity were broken.And they fornicated in Ægypt, b in their youth they fornicated: there were their brestes pressed, & the pappes of their virginitie were broken.et fornicatæ sunt in Ægypto, in adolescentia sua fornicatæ sunt : ibi subacta sunt ubera earum, et fractæ sunt mammæ pubertatis earum.
4And their names Oolla the elder and Ooliba her younger sister: and I had them, and they bare sons, and daughters. Moreover their names, Samaria Oolla, and Jerusalem Ooliba.And their names c Oolla the elder and d Ooliba her yonger sister: and I had them, and they bare sonnes, and daughters. Moreouer their names, Samaria Oolla, and Ierusalem Ooliba.✦Nomina autem earum, Oolla major, et Ooliba soror ejus minor : et habui eas, et pepererunt filios et filias.

13And I saw that she was polluted, both one way.And I saw that she was polluted, both one way.Et vidi quod polluta esset via una ambarum.
14And she increased her fornications: and when she had seen men painted in a wall, the images of the Chaldees expressed in colours,And she increased her fornications: and when she had seene men paynted in a wal, the images of the Chaldees expressed in colours,✦Et auxit fornicationes suas : cumque vidisset viros depictos in pariete, imagines Chaldæorum expressas coloribus,

18She revealed also her fornications, and discovered her ignominy: and my soul departed from her, as my soul departed from her sister.She reueled also her fornications, and discouered her ignominie: and my soule departed from her, as my soule departed from her sister.Denudavit quoque fornicationes suas, et discooperuit ignominiam suam : et recessit anima mea ab ea, sicut recesserat anima mea a sorore ejus :
19For she hath multiplied her fornications, remembering the days of her youth, in which she fornicated in the land of Egypt.For she hath multiplied her fornications, remembring the dayes of her youth, in which she fornicated in the land of Ægypt.multiplicavit enim fornicationes suas, recordans dies adolescentiæ suæ, quibus fornicata est in terra Ægypti.
20And she was mad for lust upon the lying with them, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses: and as the flux of horses, their flux.And she was madde for lust vpon the lying with them, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses: and as the fluxe of horses, their fluxe.✦Et insanivit libidine super concubitum eorum, quorum carnes sunt ut carnes asinorum, et sicut fluxus equorum fluxus eorum.
21And thou hast visited the wickedness of thy youth when thy breasts were pressed in Egypt, and the paps of thy virginity broken.And thou hast visited the wickednes of thy youth when thy breastes were pressed in Ægypt, & the pappes of thy virginitie broken.✦Et visitasti scelus adolescentiæ tuæ, quando subacta sunt in Ægypto ubera tua, et confractæ sunt mammæ pubertatis tuæ.]

24And they shall come upon thee well appointed with chariot, and wheel, a multitude of peoples: with lorica: a coat of mail, scale armour, and buckler, and helmet they shall be armed against thee, on every side: and I will give judgement before them, and they shall judge thee by their judgements.And they shal come vpon thee wel appoynted with chariot, and wheele, a multitude of peoples: with brigintine, and buckler, and helmet they shal be armed against thee, on euerie side: and I wil geue iudgement before them, & they shal iudge thee by their iudgements.✦et venient super te instructi curru et rota, multitudo populorum : lorica, et clypeo, et galea armabuntur contra te undique : et dabo coram eis judicium, et judicabunt te judiciis suis.
25And I will put my zelum: jealous indignation, avenging jealousy in thee, which they exercise with thee in fury: thy nose, and thine ears they shall cut off: and the things that remain shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons, and thy daughters, and thy very last thing shall be devoured with fire.And I wil put my zele in thee, which they exercise with thee in furie: thy nose, and thine eares they shal cut of: and the thinges that remaine shal fal by the sword: they shal take thy sonnes, and thy daughters, and thy verie last thing shal be deuoured with fire.✦Et ponam zelum meum in te, quem exercent tecum in furore : nasum tuum et aures tuas præcident, et quæ remanserint, gladio concident. Ipsi filios tuos et filias tuas capient, et novissimum tuum devorabitur igni :
26And they shall strip thee of thy garments, and shall take away the vessels of thy glory.And they shal strippe thee of thy garments, and shal take away the vessels of thy glorie.et denudabunt te vestimentis tuis, et tollent vasa gloriæ tuæ.
