Ezekiel 13
1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
2 “Son of man, you are to prophesy against the prophets of Israel who right now are busy prophesying. Tell those who make up their own prophecies: Listen to the word of the Lord!
fili hominis vaticinare ad prophetas Israhel qui prophetant et dices prophetantibus de corde suo audite verbum Domini
3 This is what the Lord God says: Disaster is coming to these foolish prophets who follow their own ideas. They haven't seen anything.
haec dicit Dominus Deus vae prophetis insipientibus qui sequuntur spiritum suum et nihil vident
4 Israel, your prophets are like foxes that live in the ruins.
quasi vulpes in desertis prophetae tui Israhel erant
5 They didn't go and help repair the gaps in the wall that defends the people of Israel so that it would stand secure during the battle on the Day of the Lord.
non ascendistis ex adverso neque opposuistis murum pro domo Israhel ut staretis in proelio in die Domini
6 The visions they see are false, and the prophecies they give are lies. They claim, ‘This is what the Lord says,’ when the Lord didn't send them. Even so they still expect their message to be fulfilled!
vident vana et divinant mendacium dicentes ait Dominus cum Dominus non miserit eos et perseveraverunt confirmare sermonem
7 Isn't it a false vision that you people saw? Isn't it a prophecy of lies when you announce, ‘This is what the Lord says,’ even though I haven't said anything?
numquid non visionem cassam vidistis et divinationem mendacem locuti estis et dicitis ait Dominus cum ego non sim locutus
8 So this is what the Lord God says: Since you've spoken lies and claimed to see false visions, then watch out, because I'm against you, declares the Lord God.
propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus quia locuti estis vana et vidistis mendacium ideo ecce ego ad vos ait Dominus Deus
9 I will punish the prophets who see false visions and give prophecies that are lies. They will not belong to the assembly of my people or be listed in the register of Israelites, and they won't be allowed to enter the country of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord God.
et erit manus mea super prophetas qui vident vana et divinant mendacium in concilio populi mei non erunt et in scriptura domus Israhel non scribentur nec in terra Israhel ingredientur et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus
10 They have deceived my people by saying, ‘We shall have peace,’ when there won't be any peace. It's like they're putting a coat of whitewash on an unstable wall of loose stones that the people have built.
eo quod deceperint populum meum dicentes pax et non est pax et ipse aedificabat parietem illi autem liniebant eum luto absque paleis
11 So tell those people whitewashing the wall that it's going to collapse. Rain will come pouring down. I will send hailstones crashing down on it. A windstorm will blow hard against it.
dic ad eos qui liniunt absque temperatura quod casurus sit erit enim imber inundans et dabo lapides praegrandes desuper inruentes et ventum procellae dissipantem
12 Don't you think that when the wall collapses people are going to ask you, ‘What happened to the whitewash you painted it with?’
siquidem ecce cecidit paries numquid non dicetur vobis ubi est litura quam levistis
13 So this is what the Lord God says: In my furious anger I'm going to send a windstorm, pouring rain, and hailstones to destroy the wall.
propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus et erumpere faciam spiritum tempestatum in indignatione mea et imber inundans in furore meo erit et lapides grandes in ira in consummationem
14 I will demolish the wall you whitewashed, knocking it to the ground to reveal its foundations. The city is going to fall, and you're going to be destroyed with it. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
et destruam parietem quem levistis absque temperamento et adaequabo eum terrae et revelabitur fundamentum eius et cadet et consumetur in medio eius et scietis quia ego sum Dominus
15 Once the wall and those who whitewashed it have experienced my anger, I will tell you: The wall is no more, and those who whitewashed it are no more,
et conplebo indignationem meam in parietem et in his qui linunt eum absque temperamento dicamque vobis non est paries et non sunt qui linunt eum
16 those ‘prophets’ of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and claimed to have seen a vision of peace for her when there wasn't going to be any peace, declares the Lord God.
prophetae Israhel qui prophetant ad Hierusalem et vident ei visionem pacis et non est pax ait Dominus Deus
17 Now, son of man, you are to oppose those Israelite women who make up prophecies in their own minds. Prophesy against them
et tu fili hominis pone faciem tuam contra filias populi tui quae prophetant de corde suo et vaticinare super eas
18 and tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Disaster is coming to the women who sew bracelets of magic charms for their wrists and make veils for all kinds of people to wear as ways to trap and exploit them. Do you think you can trap the lives of my people yet still keep your own?
et dic haec ait Dominus Deus vae quae consuunt pulvillos sub omni cubito manus et faciunt cervicalia sub capite universae aetatis ad capiendas animas cum caperent animas populi mei vivificabant animas eorum
19 You have disgraced me among my people for a few handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. By lying to my people who believe in you, you have killed those who shouldn't have died and let others live who shouldn't.
et violabant me ad populum meum propter pugillum hordei et fragmen panis ut interficerent animas quae non moriuntur et vivificarent animas quae non vivunt mentientes populo meo credenti mendaciis
20 So this is what the Lord God says: Watch out! I condemn the magic charms you use to trap people like birds, and I will rip them off your arms. I will set free those you have trapped.
propter hoc haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego ad pulvillos vestros quibus vos capitis animas volantes et disrumpam eos de brachiis vestris et dimittam animas quas vos capitis animas ad volandum
21 I will also rip off your veils and rescue my people from your power, so that they will no longer be your victims. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
et disrumpam cervicalia vestra et liberabo populum meum de manu vestra neque erunt ultra in manibus vestris ad praedandum et scietis quia ego Dominus
22 Because you have discouraged good people with your lies, even though I didn't have anything against them, and because you have encouraged the wicked that they shouldn't give up from their evil ways to save their lives,
pro eo quod maerere fecistis cor iusti mendaciter quem ego non contristavi et confortastis manus impii ut non reverteretur a via sua mala et viveret
23 from now on you won't claim these false visions or practice magic. I will rescue my people from your power. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”
propterea vana non videbitis et divinationes non divinabitis amplius et eruam populum meum de manu vestra et scietis quoniam ego Dominus
