Ezekiel 13

1 The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

١ وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

2 "Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, 'Hear the word of Jehovah:

٢ «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، تَنَبَّأْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ، وَقُلْ لِلَّذِينَ هُمْ أَنْبِيَاءُ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ ذَوَاتِهِمِ: ٱسْمَعُوا كَلِمَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

3 Thus says Jehovah, "Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing.

٣ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: وَيْلٌ لِلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلْحَمْقَى ٱلذَّاهِبِينَ وَرَاءَ رُوحِهِمْ وَلَمْ يَرَوْا شَيْئًا.

4 Israel, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.

٤ أَنْبِيَاؤُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ صَارُوا كَٱلثَّعَالِبِ فِي ٱلْخِرَبِ.

5 You have not gone up into the breaches, neither built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of Jehovah."

٥ لَمْ تَصْعَدُوا إِلَى ٱلثُّغَرِ، وَلَمْ تَبْنُوا جِدَارًا لِبَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِلْوُقُوفِ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

6 They have seen falsehood and lying divination, who say, "Jehovah says"; but Jehovah has not sent them: and they have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.

٦ رَأَوْا بَاطِلًا وَعِرَافَةً كَاذِبَةً. ٱلْقَائِلُونَ: وَحْيُ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَٱلرَّبُّ لَمْ يُرْسِلْهُمْ، وَٱنْتَظَرُوا إِثْبَاتَ ٱلْكَلِمَةِ.

7 "Haven't you seen a false vision, and haven't you spoken a lying divination, in that you say, "Jehovah says"; but I have not spoken?

٧ أَلَمْ تَرَوْا رُؤْيَا بَاطِلَةً، وَتَكَلَّمْتُمْ بِعِرَافَةٍ كَاذِبَةٍ، قَائِلِينَ: وَحْيُ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَأَنَا لَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ؟

8 Therefore thus says Jehovah: Because you have spoken falsehood, and seen lies, therefore, look, I am against you, says Jehovah.

٨ لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: لِأَنَّكُمْ تَكَلَّمْتُمْ بِٱلْبَاطِلِ وَرَأَيْتُمْ كَذِبًا، فَلِذَلِكَ هَا أَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

9 My hand shall be against the prophets who see false visions, and who divine lies: they shall not be in the council 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 you shall know that I am Jehovah.

٩ وَتَكُونُ يَدِي عَلَى ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَرَوْنَ ٱلْبَاطِلَ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَعْرِفُونَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ. فِي مَجْلِسِ شَعْبِي لَا يَكُونُونَ، وَفِي كِتَابِ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يُكْتَبُونَ، وَإِلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يَدْخُلُونَ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, 'Peace'; and there is no peace; and when one builds up a wall, look, they plaster it with whitewash:

١٠ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمْ أَضَلُّوا شَعْبِي قَائِلِينَ: سَلَامٌ! وَلَيْسَ سَلَامٌ. وَوَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ يَبْنِي حَائِطًا وَهَا هُمْ يُمَلِّطُونَهُ بِٱلطُّفَالِ.

11 tell those who plaster it with whitewash, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and you, great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind break out.

١١ فَقُلْ لِلَّذِينَ يُمَلِّطُونَهُ بِٱلطُّفَالِ: إِنَّهُ يَسْقُطُ. يَكُونُ مَطَرٌ جَارِفٌ، وَأَنْتُنَّ يَا حِجَارَةَ ٱلْبَرَدِ تَسْقُطْنَ، وَرِيحٌ عَاصِفَةٌ تُشَقِّقُهُ.

12 Look, when the wall has fallen, shall it not be said to you, 'Where is the plaster with which you have plastered it?'

١٢ وَهُوَذَا إِذَا سَقَطَ ٱلْحَائِطُ، أَفَلَا يُقَالُ لَكُمْ: أَيْنَ ٱلطِّينُ ٱلَّذِي طَيَّنْتُمْ بِهِ؟

13 "'"Therefore thus says Jehovah: I will even tear it with a stormy wind in my wrath; and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it.

١٣ لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنِّي أُشَقِّقُهُ بِرِيحٍ عَاصِفَةٍ فِي غَضَبِي، وَيَكُونُ مَطَرٌ جَارِفٌ فِي سَخَطِي، وَحِجَارَةُ بَرَدٍ فِي غَيْظِي لِإِفْنَائِهِ.

14 So will I break down the wall that you have plastered with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and you shall be consumed in its midst: and you shall know that I am Jehovah.

١٤ فَأَهْدِمُ ٱلْحَائِطَ ٱلَّذِي مَلَّطْتُمُوهُ بِٱلطُّفَالِ، وَأُلْصِقُهُ بِٱلْأَرْضِ، وَيَنْكَشِفُ أَسَاسُهُ فَيَسْقُطُ، وَتَفْنَوْنَ أَنْتُمْ فِي وَسْطِهِ، فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath on the wall, and on those who have plastered it with whitewash; and I will tell you, 'The wall is no more, neither those who plastered it;

١٥ فَأُتِمُّ غَضَبِي عَلَى ٱلْحَائِطِ وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مَلَّطُوهُ بِٱلطُّفَالِ، وَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَيْسَ ٱلْحَائِطُ بِمَوْجُودٍ وَلَا ٱلَّذِينَ مَلَّطُوهُ!

16 to wit, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace,'"' says Jehovah."

١٦ أَيْ أَنْبِيَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ لِأُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَرَوْنَ لَهَا رُؤَى سَلَامٍ، وَلَا سَلَامَ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

17 "You, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against them,

١٧ «وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَٱجْعَلْ وَجْهَكَ ضِدَّ بَنَاتِ شَعْبِكَ ٱللَّوَاتِي يَتَنَبَّأْنَ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ ذَوَاتِهِنَّ، وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِنَّ،

18 and say, 'Thus says Jehovah: "Woe to the women who sew pillows on all elbows, and make kerchiefs for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls. Will you hunt the souls of my people, and save souls alive for yourselves?

١٨ وَقُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: وَيْلٌ لِلَّوَاتِي يَخُطْنَ وَسَائِدَ لِكُلِّ أَوْصَالِ ٱلْأَيْدِي، وَيَصْنَعْنَ مِخَدَّاتٍ لِرَأْسِ كُلِّ قَامَةٍ لِٱصْطِيَادِ ٱلنُّفُوسِ. أَفَتَصْطَدْنَ نُفُوسَ شَعْبِي وَتَسْتَحْيِينَ أَنْفُسَكُنَّ،

19 You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die, and to save the souls alive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to lies."

١٩ وَتُنَجِّسْنَنِي عِنْدَ شَعْبِي لِأَجْلِ حَفْنَةِ شَعِيرٍ، وَلِأَجْلِ فُتَاتٍ مِنَ ٱلْخُبْزِ، لِإِمَاتَةِ نُفُوسٍ لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَمُوتَ، وَٱسْتِحْيَاءِ نُفُوسٍ لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَحْيَا، بِكَذِبِكُنَّ عَلَى شَعْبِي ٱلسَّامِعِينَ لِلْكَذِبِ؟

20 "'Therefore thus says Jehovah: "Look, I am against your pillows, with which you there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls go, even the souls whom you hunt to make them fly.

٢٠ «لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا ضِدُّ وَسَائِدِكُنَّ ٱلَّتِي تَصْطَدْنَ بِهَا ٱلنُّفُوسَ كَٱلْفِرَاخِ، وَأُمَزِّقُهَا عَنْ أَذْرُعِكُنَّ، وَأُطْلِقُ ٱلنُّفُوسَ، ٱلنُّفُوسَ ٱلَّتِي تَصْطَدْنَهَا كَٱلْفِرَاخِ.

21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and you shall know that I am Jehovah.

٢١ وَأُمَزِّقُ مِخَدَّاتِكُنَّ وَأُنْقِذُ شَعْبِي مِنْ أَيْدِيكُنَّ، فَلَا يَكُونُونَ بَعْدُ فِي أَيْدِيكُنَّ لِلصَّيْدِ، فَتَعْلَمْنَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

22 Because with lies you have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive:

٢٢ لِأَنَّكُنَّ أَحْزَنْتُنَّ قَلْبَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ كَذِبًا وَأَنَا لَمْ أُحْزِنْهُ، وَشَدَّدْتُنَّ أَيْدِي ٱلشِّرِّيرِ حَتَّى لَا يَرْجِعَ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ ٱلرَّدِيئَةِ فَيَحْيَا،

23 Therefore you shall no more see false visions, nor practice divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand; and you shall know that I am Jehovah."'"

٢٣ فَلِذَلِكَ لَنْ تَعُدْنَ تَرَيْنَ ٱلْبَاطِلَ وَلَا تَعْرِفْنَ عِرَافَةً بَعْدُ، وَأُنْقِذُ شَعْبِي مِنْ أَيْدِيكُنَّ، فَتَعْلَمْنَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ».
