Ezekiel 13
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说：
2 Son of man, be a prophet against the prophets of Israel, and say to those prophets whose words are the invention of their hearts, Give ear to the word of the Lord;
“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。’”
3 This is what the Lord has said: A curse on the foolish prophets who go after the spirit which is in them and have seen nothing!
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。
4 O Israel, your prophets have been like jackals in the waste places.
以色列啊，你的先知好像荒场中的狐狸，
5 You have not gone up into the broken places or made up the wall for the children of Israel to take your place in the fight in the day of the Lord.
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。
6 They have seen visions without substance and made use of secret arts, who say, The Lord has said; and the Lord has not sent them: hoping that the word would have effect.
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。
7 Have you not seen a vision without substance and have you not falsely made use of secret arts, when you say, The Lord has said; though I have said nothing?
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。”
8 So this is what the Lord has said: Because your words are without substance and your visions are false, see, I am against you, says the Lord.
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。
9 And my hand will be against the prophets who see visions without substance and who make false use of secret arts: they will not be in the secret of my people, and they will not be recorded in the list of the children of Israel, and they will not come into the land of Israel; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.
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。
10 Because, even because they have been guiding my people into error, saying, Peace; when there is no peace; and in the building of a division wall they put whitewash on it:
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。
11 Say to those who put whitewash on it, There will be an overflowing shower; and you, O ice-drops, will come raining down; and it will be broken in two by the storm-wind.
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。’
12 And when the wall has come down, will they not say to you, Where is the whitewash which you put on it?
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？’”
13 For this reason, the Lord has said: I will have it broken in two by a storm-wind in my passion; and there will be an overflowing shower in my wrath, and you, O ice-drops, will come raining angrily down.
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。
14 So I will let the wall, which you were covering with whitewash, be broken down; I will have it levelled to the earth so that its base is uncovered: it will come down, and destruction will come on you with it; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.
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。
15 So I will let loose my passion on the wall in full measure, and on those who put whitewash on it; and I will say to you, Where is the wall, and where are those who put whitewash on it?
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。’
16 Even the prophets of Israel who say words to Jerusalem, who see visions of peace for her when there is no peace, says the Lord.
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。”
17 And you, son of man, let your face be turned against the daughters of your people, who are acting the part of prophets at their pleasure; be a prophet against them, and say,
“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，
18 This is what the Lord has said: A curse is on the women who are stitching bands on all arms and putting veils on the heads of those of every size, so that they may go after souls! Will you go after the souls of my people and keep yourselves safe from death?
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？
19 And you have put me to shame among my people for a little barley and some bits of bread, sending death on souls for whom there is no cause of death, and keeping those souls living who have no right to life, by the false words you say to my people who give ear to what is false.
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。’”
20 For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am against your bands with which you go after souls, and I will violently take them off their arms; and I will let loose the souls, even the souls whom you go after freely.
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。
21 And I will have your veils violently parted in two, and will make my people free from your hands, and they will no longer be in your power for you to go after them; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
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。
22 Because with your false words you have given pain to the heart of the upright man when I had not made him sad; in order to make strong the hands of the evil-doer so that he may not be turned from his evil way and get life:
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。
23 For this cause you will see no more foolish visions or make false use of secret arts: and I will make my people free from your power; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
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。”
