< 以西结书 13 >
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 against the prophets of Israel, and you shall prophesy, and shall say to them, Hear you 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, Woe to them that prophesy out of their own heart, and who see nothing at all.
Your prophets, O Israel, are 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。
They have not continued steadfast, and they have gathered flocks against the house of Israel, they that say,
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。
In the day of the Lord, have not stood, seeing false [visions], prophesying vanities, who say, The Lord says, and the Lord has not sent them, and they began [to try] to confirm the word.
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 false vision? and spoken vain prophecies?
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。
And therefore say, Thus says the Lord; Because your words are false, and your prophecies are vain, therefore, behold, I am against you, says the Lord.
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 I will stretch forth my hand against the prophets that see false [visions], and those that utter vanities: they shall not partake of the instruction of my people, neither shall they be written in the roll of the house of Israel, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
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。
Because they have caused my people to err, saying, Peace; and there is no peace; and one builds a wall, and they plaster it, —it shall fall.
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 them that plaster [it], It shall fall; and there shall be a flooding rain; and I will send great stones upon their joinings, and they shall fall; and there shall be a sweeping wind, and it shall be broken.
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?’”
And behold! the wall has fallen; and will they not say to you, Where is your plaster wherewith you plastered [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。
Therefore thus says the Lord; I will even cause to burst forth a sweeping blast with fury, and there shall be a flooding rain in my wrath; and in [my] fury I will bring on great stones for complete destruction.
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 break down the wall which you have plastered, and it shall fall; and I will lay it on the ground, and its foundations shall be discovered, and it shall fall; and you shall be consumed with rebukes: 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 accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that plaster it; it shall fall: and I said to you, The wall is not, nor they that plaster it,
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。”
even the prophets of Israel, who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see [visions of] peace for her, and there is no peace, says the Lord.
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 you, son of man, set your face firmly against the daughters of your people, that prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against 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 you shall say, Thus says the Lord, Woe to the [women] that sew pillows under every elbow, and make kerchiefs on the head of every stature to pervert souls! The souls of my people are perverted, and they have saved souls alive.
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 have dishonored me before my people for a handful of barley, and for pieces of bread, to kill the souls which should not die, and to save alive the souls which should not live, while you speak to a people hearing vain speeches.
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。
Therefore thus says the Lord God, Behold, I am against your pillows, whereby you there confound souls, and I will tear them away from your arms, and will set at liberty their souls which you pervert to scatter them.
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 your kerchiefs, and will rescue my people out of your hands, and they shall no longer be in your hands to be confounded; 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。
Because you have perverted the heart of the righteous, whereas I perverted him not, and [that] in order to strengthen the hands of the wicked, that he should not at all turn 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 false [visions], and you shall no more utter prophecies: but I will deliver my people out of your hand; and you shall know that I am the Lord.
