以西结书 13
1 耶和华的话临到我说：
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “人子啊，你要说预言攻击以色列中说预言的先知，对那些本己心发预言的说：‘你们当听耶和华的话。’”
“Son of man, prophesy to the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and you shall say to those who prophesy from their own heart: Hear the word of the Lord:
3 主耶和华如此说：“愚顽的先知有祸了，他们随从自己的心意，却一无所见。
Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the foolish prophets, who are following their own spirit, and who see nothing.
4 以色列啊，你的先知好像荒场中的狐狸，
Your prophets, O Israel, were like foxes in the deserts.
5 没有上去堵挡破口，也没有为以色列家重修墙垣，使他们当耶和华的日子在阵上站立得住。
You have not gone up against the adversary, and you have not established a wall for the house of Israel, so as to stand in battle on the day of the Lord.
6 这些人所见的是虚假，是谎诈的占卜。他们说是耶和华说的，其实耶和华并没有差遣他们，他们倒使人指望那话必然立定。
They see emptiness, and they foretell falsehoods, saying, ‘The Lord says,’ though the Lord has not sent them. And they continued to affirm what they said.
7 你们岂不是见了虚假的异象吗？岂不是说了谎诈的占卜吗？你们说，这是耶和华说的，其实我没有说。”
Have you not seen a futile vision and spoken a lying divination? And yet you say, ‘The Lord says,’ though I have not spoken.
8 所以主耶和华如此说：“因你们说的是虚假，见的是谎诈，我就与你们反对。这是主耶和华说的。
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since you have spoken emptiness and have seen falsehoods, therefore: behold, I am against you, says the Lord God.
9 我的手必攻击那见虚假异象、用谎诈占卜的先知，他们必不列在我百姓的会中，不录在以色列家的册上，也不进入以色列地；你们就知道我是主耶和华。
And my hand will be over the prophets who are seeing emptiness and divining lies. They shall not be in the council of my people, and they shall not be written in the writing of the house of Israel. Neither shall they enter into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.
10 因为他们诱惑我的百姓，说：‘平安！’其实没有平安，就像有人立起墙壁，他们倒用未泡透的灰抹上。
For they have deceived my people, saying, ‘Peace,’ and there is no peace. And they have built a wall, but they have covered it in clay without straw.
11 所以你要对那些抹上未泡透灰的人说：‘墙要倒塌，必有暴雨漫过。大冰雹啊，你们要降下，狂风也要吹裂这墙。’
Say to those who spread mortar without mixing, that it will fall apart. For there will be an inundating rain, and I will cause full-grown hailstones to rush down from above, and a windstorm to dissipate it.
12 这墙倒塌之后，人岂不问你们说：‘你们抹上未泡透的灰在哪里呢？’”
So then, behold: when the wall has fallen, will it not be said to you: ‘Where is the mortar with which you covered it?’
13 所以主耶和华如此说：“我要发怒，使狂风吹裂这墙，在怒中使暴雨漫过，又发怒降下大冰雹，毁灭这墙。
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: And I will cause a violent wind to burst forth in my indignation, and there will be an inundating rain in my fury, and great hailstones in wrath, to consume.
14 我要这样拆毁你们那未泡透灰所抹的墙，拆平到地，以致根基露出，墙必倒塌，你们也必在其中灭亡；你们就知道我是耶和华。
And I will destroy the wall that you have covered without tempering it. And I will level it to the ground, and its foundation will be revealed. And it will fall and be consumed in its midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
15 我要这样向墙和用未泡透灰抹墙的人成就我怒中所定的，并要对你们说：‘墙和抹墙的人都没有了。’
And I will fulfill my indignation against the wall, and against those who cover it without mixing the mortar, and I will say to you: The wall is no more, and those who covered it are no more:
16 这抹墙的就是以色列的先知，他们指着耶路撒冷说预言，为这城见了平安的异象，其实没有平安。这是主耶和华说的。”
the prophets of Israel, who prophesy to Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her when there is no peace, says the Lord God.
17 “人子啊，你要面向本民中、从己心发预言的女子说预言，攻击她们，
And as for you, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy from their own heart. And prophesy about them,
18 说主耶和华如此说：‘这些妇女有祸了！她们为众人的膀臂缝靠枕，给高矮之人做下垂的头巾，为要猎取人的性命。难道你们要猎取我百姓的性命，为利己将人救活吗？
and say: Thus says the Lord God: Woe to those who sew together little pillows under every forearm, and who make little cushions for the heads of every stage of life, in order to capture souls. And when they have seized the souls of my people, they became the life of their souls.
19 你们为两把大麦，为几块饼，在我民中亵渎我，对肯听谎言的民说谎，杀死不该死的人，救活不该活的人。’”
And they violated me among my people, for the sake of a handful of barley and a fragment of bread, so that they would kill the souls that should not die, and enliven the souls that should not live, lying to my people who believe in falsehoods.
20 所以主耶和华如此说：“看哪，我与你们的靠枕反对，就是你们用以猎取人、使人的性命如鸟飞的。我要将靠枕从你们的膀臂上扯去，释放你们猎取如鸟飞的人。
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against your little pillows, with which you catch flying souls. And I will tear them away from your arms. And I will release the souls that you are capturing, the souls that should fly.
21 我也必撕裂你们下垂的头巾，救我百姓脱离你们的手，不再被猎取，落在你们手中。你们就知道我是耶和华。
And I will tear away your little cushions. And I will free my people from your hand. And they shall no longer be a prey in your hands. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
22 我不使义人伤心，你们却以谎话使他伤心，又坚固恶人的手，使他不回头离开恶道得以救活。
For by deception you have caused the heart of the just to grieve, whom I would not sadden. And I have strengthened the hands of the impious, so that he would not be turned back from his evil way and live.
23 你们就不再见虚假的异象，也不再行占卜的事；我必救我的百姓脱离你们的手；你们就知道我是耶和华。”
Therefore, you shall not see emptiness, and you shall not divine divinations, any more. And I will rescue my people from your hand. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”
