Ezekiel 13

1 And the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

١ وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

2 Sonne of man, prophecie against the prophets of Israel, that prophecie, and say thou vnto them, that prophecie out of their owne hearts, Heare the worde of the Lord.

٢ «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْكَذَبَةِ الْمُتَنَبِّئِينَ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: اسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ.

3 Thus sayth the Lord God, Woe vnto the foolish Prophets that follow their owne spirit, and haue seene nothing.

٣ وَيْلٌ لِلأَنْبِياءِ الْحَمْقَى الضَّالِّينَ وَرَاءَ أَرْوَاحِهِمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَرَوْا شَيْئاً.

4 O Israel, thy Prophets are like the foxes in the waste places.

٤ أَنْبِيَاؤُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ هُمْ كَالثَّعَالِبِ فِي الْخَرَائِبِ.

5 Ye haue not risen vp in the gappes, neither made vp the hedge for ye house of Israel, to stand in the battel in the daye of the Lord.

٥ لَمْ تَبْرُزُوا إِلَى الثُّغْرَاتِ، وَلَمْ تُشَيِّدُوا جِدَاراً حَوْلَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِتَصْمُدُوا فِي الْقِتَالِ فِي يَوْمِ الرَّبِّ،

6 They haue seene vanitie, and lying diuination, saying, The Lord sayth it, and the Lord hath not sent them: and they haue made others to hope that they would cofirme the word of their prophecie.

٦ إِنَّمَا رُؤْيَاهُمْ بَاطِلَةٌ، وَعِرَافَتُهُمْ كَاذِبَةٌ. يَقُولُونَ: يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَالرَّبُّ لَمْ يُرْسِلْهُمْ، وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ يَطْمَعُونَ فِي تَحْقِيقِ كَلِمَتِهِمْ.

7 Haue ye not seene a vaine vision? and haue yee not spoken a lying diuination? ye say, The Lord sayth it, albeit I haue not spoken.

٧ أَلَمْ تَرَوْا رُؤْيَا بَاطِلَةً، وَتَنْطِقُوا بِعِرَافَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ قَائِلِينَ: يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَأَنَا لَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ؟

8 Therefore thus sayth the Lord God, Because ye haue spoken vanytie and haue seene lyes, therefore beholde, I am agaynst you, sayth the Lord God,

٨ لِذَلِكَ يُعْلِنُ الرَّبُّ: لأَنَّكُمْ تَكَلَّمْتُمْ بَاطِلاً وَادَّعَيْتُمْ رُؤْيَا كَاذِبَةً، فَهَا أَنَا أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

9 And mine hande shalbe vpon the Prophets that see vanity, and diuine lies: they shall not be in the assemblie of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel: and yee shall know that I am the Lord God.

٩ فَتَكُونُ يَدِي عَلَى الأَنْبِيَاءِ ذَوِي الرُّؤْيَا الْبَاطِلَةِ وَالْعِرَافَةِ الْكَاذِبَةِ، فَلا يَكُونُ لَهُمْ مَقَامٌ فِي جَمَاعَةِ شَعْبِي، وَلا تُدَوَّنُ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ فِي كِتَابِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلا يَدْخُلُونَ أَرْضَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

10 And therefore, because they haue deceiued my people, saying, Peace, and there was no peace: and one buylt vp a wall, and behold, the others daubed it with vntempered morter,

١٠ لأَنَّهُمْ حَقّاً أَضَلُّوا شَعْبِي قَائِلِينَ: سَيَكُونُ لَكُمْ سَلامٌ مَعَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ هُنَاكَ سَلامٌ، فَكَانَ شَعْبِي يَبْنِي حَائِطاً وَهُمْ يَطْلُونَهُ بِمَاءِ الكِلْسِ.

11 Say vnto them which daube it with vntempered morter, that it shall fall: for there shall come a great showre, and I wil sende haylestones, which shall cause it to fall, and a stormie winde shall breake it.

١١ قُلْ لِلطَّالِينَ بِمَاءِ الكِلْسِ: إِنَّ الْحَائِطَ يَتَدَاعَى، إِذْ يَنْهَمِرُ مَطَرٌ جَارِفٌ. وَأَنْتُنَّ يَا حِجَارَةَ الْبَرَدِ تَسَاقَطْنَ، وَلْتَعْصِفْ بِهِ رِيحٌ جَائِحَةٌ.

12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not bee sayd vnto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye haue daubed it?

١٢ فَلا يَلْبَثُ السُّورُ أَنْ يَنْهَارَ أَفَلا تَسْأَلُونَ آنَئِذٍ: أَيْنَ الطِّينُ الَّذِي طَيَّنْتُمْ بِهِ؟

13 Therefore thus sayth the Lord God, I will cause a stormie winde to breake foorth in my wrath, and a great showre shall bee in mine anger, and hailestones in mine indignation to consume it.

١٣ لِذَلِكَ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أَجْعَلُ رِيحاً عَاتِيَةً تَخْتَرِقُ السُّورَ بِفِعْلِ حَنَقِي، وَمَطَراً جَارِفاً يَنْهَمِرُ فِي خِضَمِّ غَضَبِي، وَحِجَارَةَ بَرَدٍ تَتَسَاقَطُ فِي أَثْنَاءِ سَخَطِي لِكَيْ تُهْلِكَ،

14 So I wil destroy the wall that ye haue daubed with vntempered morter, and bring it downe to the ground, so that the fundation thereof shalbe discouered, and it shall fal, and ye shalbe consumed in the middes thereof, and ye shall know, that I am the Lord.

١٤ فَأَهْدِمُ السُّورَ الَّذِي طَلَيْتُمُوهُ بِمَاءِ الْكِلْسِ وَأُسَوِّيهِ بِالأَرْضِ فَيَتَعَرَّى أَسَاسُهُ وَتَتَدَاعَى الْمَدِينَةُ وَتَفْنَوْنَ جَمِيعاً فِي وَسَطِهَا فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath vpon the wall, and vpon them that haue daubed it with vntempered morter, and will say vnto you, The wall is no more, neither the daubers thereof,

١٥ فَأَنْفُثُ غَضَبِي بِالسُّورِ وَبِمَنْ يَطْلُونَهُ بِمَاءِ الكِلْسِ وَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: قَدْ تَلاشَى السُّورُ وَالَّذِينَ يَطْلُونَهُ.

16 To wit, the Prophets of Israel, which prophesie vpon Ierusalem, and see visions of peace for it, and there is no peace, sayth the Lord God.

١٦ الَّذِينَ هُمْ أَنْبِيَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الأَدْعِيَاءُ، الْمُتَنَبِّئُونَ لإِسْرَائِيلَ، الَّذِينَ يَرَوْنَ لَهَا رُؤَى سَلامٍ، مَعَ أَنَّهُ لَا سَلامَ هُنَاكَ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

17 Likewise thou sonne of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesie out of their owne heart: and prophesie thou against them, and say,

١٧ أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، فَالْتَفِتْ نَحْوَ بَنَاتِ شَعْبِكَ الْمُتَنَبِّئَاتِ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَنْفُسِهِنَّ وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِنَّ،

18 Thus sayth the Lord God, Woe vnto the women that sowe pillowes vnder al arme holes, and make vailes vpon the head of euery one that standeth vp, to hunt soules: will yee hunt ye soules of my people, and will yee giue life to the soules that come vnto you?

١٨ وَقُلْ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: وَيْلٌ لِلْخَائِطَاتِ الْعَصَائِبَ السِّحْرِيَّةَ لِكُلِّ مَعَاصِمِ الأَيْدِي وَالأَنْقَابَ لِرَأْسِ كُلِّ قَامَةٍ لاصْطِيَادِ النُّفُوسِ. أَنْتُنَّ تَصْطَدْنَ نُفُوسَ شَعْبِي وَتَسْتَحْيِينَ نُفُوسَكُنَّ

19 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barly, and for pieces of bread to slay the soules of them that shoulde not dye, and to giue life to the soules that should not liue in lying to my people, that heare your lies?

١٩ فَتُدَنِّسْنَنِي عِنْدَ شَعْبِي لِقَاءَ حَفْنَةِ شَعِيرٍ وَفُتَاتِ خُبْزٍ حَتَّى تُمِتْنَ نُفُوساً مَا كَانَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَمُوتَ، وَلِكَيْ تَسْتَحْيِينَ نُفُوساً أُخْرَى لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا أَنْ تَحْيَا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ كَذِبِكُنَّ عَلَى شَعْبِي السَّامِعِ لِلْكَذِبِ.

20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will haue to do with your pillowes, wherewith yee hunt the soules to make them to flie, and I will teare them from your armes, and will let the soules goe, euen the soules, that ye hunt to make them to flie.

٢٠ لِذَلِكَ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: أَنَا ضِدُّ عَصَائِبِكُنَّ السِّحْرِيَّةِ الَّتِي تَصْطَدْنَ بِها النُّفُوسَ كَفِرَاخِ الطَّيْرِ، سَأُمَزِّقُهَا عَنْ أَذْرُعِكُنَّ، وَأُحَرِّرُ النُّفُوسَ الَّتِي اصْطَدْتُمُوهَا فَتَطِيرُ.

21 Your vailes also will I teare, and deliuer my people out of your hande, and they shalbe no more in your hands to be hunted, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord.

٢١ وَأُمَزِّقُ أَنْقَابَكُنَّ وَأُنْقِذُ شَعْبِي مِنْ أَيْدِيكُنَّ، فَلا يَظَلُّونَ بَعْدُ فِي قَبْضَتِكُنَّ فَرِيسَةً، فَتُدْرِكْنَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ.

22 Because with your lyes yee haue made the heart of the righteous sadde, whome I haue not made sad, and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not returne from his wicked way, by promising him life,

٢٢ لأَنَّكُنَّ أَحْزَنْتُنَّ قَلْبَ الصِّدِّيقِ بَأَكَاذِيبِكُنَّ، مَعَ أَنَّنِي لَمْ أُحْزِنْهُ، وَشَدَّدْتُنَّ عَزَائِمَ الشِّرِّيرِ لِئَلّا يَرْجِعَ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ الأَثِيمَةِ فَيَحْيَا.

23 Therefore ye shall see no more vanitie, nor diuine diuinatios: for I wil deliuer my people out of your hand, and ye shall know that I am ye Lord.

٢٣ لِذَلِكَ لَنْ تَعُدْنَ تَرَيْنَ رُؤىً بَاطِلَةً، وَلا تُمَارِسْنَ الْعِرَافَةَ بَعْدُ، وَأُنْقِذُ شَعْبِي مِنْ أَيْدِيكُنَّ فَتُدْرِكْنَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».
