以西結書 13
1 耶和華的話臨到我說：
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 「人子啊，你要說預言攻擊以色列中說預言的先知，對那些本己心發預言的說：『你們當聽耶和華的話。』」
“Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who are now prophesying. Tell those who prophesy out of their own imagination: Hear the word of the LORD!
3 主耶和華如此說：「愚頑的先知有禍了，他們隨從自己的心意，卻一無所見。
This is what the Lord GOD says: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, yet have seen nothing.
4 以色列啊，你的先知好像荒場中的狐狸，
Your prophets, O Israel, are like foxes among the ruins.
5 沒有上去堵擋破口，也沒有為以色列家重修牆垣，使他們當耶和華的日子在陣上站立得住。
You did not go up to the gaps or restore the wall around the house of Israel so that it would stand in the battle on the Day of the LORD.
6 這些人所見的是虛假，是謊詐的占卜。他們說是耶和華說的，其實耶和華並沒有差遣他們，他們倒使人指望那話必然立定。
They see false visions and speak lying divinations. They claim, ‘Thus declares the LORD,’ when the LORD did not send them; yet they wait for the fulfillment of their message.
7 你們豈不是見了虛假的異象嗎？豈不是說了謊詐的占卜嗎？你們說，這是耶和華說的，其實我沒有說。」
Haven’t you seen a false vision and spoken a lying divination when you proclaim, ‘Thus declares the LORD,’ even though I have not spoken?
8 所以主耶和華如此說：「因你們說的是虛假，見的是謊詐，我就與你們反對。這是主耶和華說的。
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you have uttered vain words and seen false visions, I am against you, declares the Lord GOD.
9 我的手必攻擊那見虛假異象、用謊詐占卜的先知，他們必不列在我百姓的會中，不錄在以色列家的冊上，也不進入以色列地；你們就知道我是主耶和華。
My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and speak lying divinations. They will not belong to the council of My people or be recorded in the register of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.
10 因為他們誘惑我的百姓，說：『平安！』其實沒有平安，就像有人立起牆壁，他們倒用未泡透的灰抹上。
Because they have led My people astray, saying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and whitewashing any flimsy wall that is built,
11 所以你要對那些抹上未泡透灰的人說：『牆要倒塌，必有暴雨漫過。大冰雹啊，你們要降下，狂風也要吹裂這牆。』
tell those whitewashing the wall that it will fall. Rain will come in torrents, I will send hailstones plunging down, and a windstorm will burst forth.
12 這牆倒塌之後，人豈不問你們說：『你們抹上未泡透的灰在哪裏呢？』」
Surely when the wall has fallen, you will not be asked, ‘Where is the whitewash with which you covered it?’
13 所以主耶和華如此說：「我要發怒，使狂風吹裂這牆，在怒中使暴雨漫過，又發怒降下大冰雹，毀滅這牆。
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: In My wrath I will release a windstorm, and in My anger torrents of rain and hail will fall with destructive fury.
14 我要這樣拆毀你們那未泡透灰所抹的牆，拆平到地，以致根基露出，牆必倒塌，你們也必在其中滅亡；你們就知道我是耶和華。
I will tear down the wall you whitewashed and level it to the ground, so that its foundation is exposed. The city will fall, and you will be destroyed within it. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
15 我要這樣向牆和用未泡透灰抹牆的人成就我怒中所定的，並要對你們說：『牆和抹牆的人都沒有了。』
And after I have vented My wrath against the wall and against those who whitewashed it, I will say to you: ‘The wall is gone, and so are those who whitewashed it—
16 這抹牆的就是以色列的先知，他們指着耶路撒冷說預言，為這城見了平安的異象，其實沒有平安。這是主耶和華說的。」
those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw a vision of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Lord GOD.’
17 「人子啊，你要面向本民中、從己心發預言的女子說預言，攻擊她們，
Now, O son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people who prophesy out of their own imagination. Prophesy against them
18 說主耶和華如此說：『這些婦女有禍了！她們為眾人的膀臂縫靠枕，給高矮之人做下垂的頭巾，為要獵取人的性命。難道你們要獵取我百姓的性命，為利己將人救活嗎？
and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: Woe to the women who sew magic charms on their wrists and make veils for the heads of people of every height, in order to ensnare their souls. Will you ensnare the souls of My people but preserve your own?
19 你們為兩把大麥，為幾塊餅，在我民中褻瀆我，對肯聽謊言的民說謊，殺死不該死的人，救活不該活的人。』」
You have profaned Me among My people for handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. By lying to My people who would listen, you have killed those who should not have died and spared those who should not have lived.
20 所以主耶和華如此說：「看哪，我與你們的靠枕反對，就是你們用以獵取人、使人的性命如鳥飛的。我要將靠枕從你們的膀臂上扯去，釋放你們獵取如鳥飛的人。
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: See, I am against the magic charms with which you ensnare souls like birds, and I will tear them from your arms. So I will free the souls you have ensnared like birds.
21 我也必撕裂你們下垂的頭巾，救我百姓脫離你們的手，不再被獵取，落在你們手中。你們就知道我是耶和華。
I will also tear off your veils and deliver My people from your hands, so that they will no longer be prey in your hands. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
22 我不使義人傷心，你們卻以謊話使他傷心，又堅固惡人的手，使他不回頭離開惡道得以救活。
Because you have disheartened the righteous with your lies, even though I have caused them no grief, and because you have encouraged the wicked not to turn from their evil ways to save their lives,
23 你們就不再見虛假的異象，也不再行占卜的事；我必救我的百姓脫離你們的手；你們就知道我是耶和華。」
therefore you will no longer see false visions or practice divination. I will deliver My people from your hands. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”
