< Ezekiel 13 >
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
2 O son of humankind prophesy against [the] prophets of Israel who are prophesying and you will say to [the] prophets from own heart their hear [the] word of Yahweh.
'Son of man, prophesy concerning the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and thou hast said to those prophesying from their own heart: Hear ye a word of Jehovah:
3 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh woe! on the prophets the fools who [are] walking after own spirit their and to not they have seen.
Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe unto the prophets who are foolish, Who are going after their own spirit, And they have seen nothing.
4 Like foxes among ruins prophets your O Israel they have been.
As foxes in the wastes, Thy prophets, O Israel, have been.
5 Not you have gone up in the breaches and you have walled up a wall on [the] house of Israel to stand in the battle on [the] day Yahweh.
Ye have not gone up into breaches, Nor do ye make a fence for the house of Israel, To stand in battle in a day of Jehovah.
6 They have seen worthlessness and divination of falsehood those [who] say [the] utterance of Yahweh and Yahweh not he has sent them and they have waited to fulfill a word.
They have seen vanity, and lying divination, Who are saying: An affirmation of Jehovah, And Jehovah hath not sent them, And they have hoped to establish a word.
7 ¿ Not a vision of worthlessness have you seen and divination of falsehood have you said? and [you were] saying [the] utterance of Yahweh and I not I have spoken.
A vain vision have ye not seen, And a lying divination spoken, When ye say: An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have not spoken?
8 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because have spoken you worthlessness and you have seen falsehood therefore here I [am] against you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen a lie, Therefore, lo, I [am] against you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
9 And it will be hand my against the prophets who see worthlessness and who divine falsehood in [the] council of people my not they will be and in [the] register of [the] house of Israel not they will be written down and into [the] land of Israel not they will go and you will know that I [am the] Lord Yahweh.
And My hand hath been on the prophets, Who are seeing vanity, and who are divining a lie, In the assembly of My people they are not, And in the writing of the house of Israel they are not written, And unto the ground of Israel they come not, And ye have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.
10 Because and by cause they have led astray people my saying peace and there not [is] peace and he [is] building a wall and there they [are] plastering it whitewash.
Because, even because, they did cause My people to err, Saying, Peace! and there is no peace, And that one is building a wall, And lo, they are daubing it with chalk.
11 Say to [the] plasterers of whitewash so it may fall it will come - rain overflowing and you O stones of hail you will fall and a wind of tempests it will break through [the wall].
Say to those daubing with chalk — It falleth, There hath been an overflowing shower, And ye, O hailstones, do fall, And a tempestuous wind doth rend,
12 And there! it has fallen the wall ¿ not will it be said to you where? [is] the plaster which you plastered.
And lo, fallen hath the wall! Doth not one say unto you, Where [is] the daubing that ye daubed?
13 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh and I will make break out a wind of tempests in rage my and rain overflowing in anger my it will come and stones of hail in rage for complete destruction.
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have rent with a tempestuous wind in My fury, And an overflowing shower is in Mine anger, And hailstones in My fury — to consume.
14 And I will tear down the wall which you plastered whitewash and I will make touch it the ground and it will be uncovered foundation[s] its and it will fall and you will come to an end in [the] midst of it and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
And I have broken down the wall that ye daubed with chalk, And have caused it to come unto the earth, And revealed hath been its foundation, And it hath fallen, And ye have been consumed in its midst, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.
15 And I will complete rage my on the wall and on [those who] plastered it whitewash so I may say to you there not [is] the wall and there [are] not those [who] plastered it.
And I have completed My wrath on the wall, And on those daubing it with chalk, And I say to you: The wall is not, And those daubing it are not;
16 [the] prophets of Israel who prophesied concerning Jerusalem and who saw for it a vision of peace and there not [was] peace [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
The prophets of Israel who are prophesying concerning Jerusalem, And who are seeing for her a vision of peace, And there is no peace, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
17 And you O son of humankind set face your against [the] daughters of people your who prophesy from own heart their and prophesy on them.
And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who are prophesying out of their own heart, and prophesy concerning them,
18 And you will say thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh woe! to [women who] sew bands on - all [the] joints of hands my and [women who] make the long veils on [the] head of every stature to hunt persons ¿ persons will you hunt of people my and persons of yourself will you preserve alive?
And thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe to those sowing pillows for all joints of the arm, And to those making the kerchiefs For the head of every stature — to hunt souls, The souls do ye hunt of My people? And the souls ye have do ye keep alive?
19 And you have profaned me to people my for handfuls of barley and for fragments of bread by putting to death persons who not they will die and by preserving alive persons who not they will live when speak falsehood you to people my [who] listen to falsehood.
Yea, ye pierce Me concerning My people, For handfuls of barley, And for pieces of bread, to put to death Souls that should not die, And to keep alive souls that should not live, By your lying to My people — hearkening to lies.
20 Therefore thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] against bands your which you [are] hunting there the persons for birds and I will tear away them from on arms your and I will set free the persons whom you [are] hunting persons for birds.
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against your pillows, With which ye are hunting there the souls of the flourishing, And I have rent them from off your arms, And have sent away the souls that ye are hunting, The souls of the flourishing.
21 And I will tear away long veils your and I will deliver people my from hand your and not they will become again in hand your prey and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
And I have torn your kerchiefs, And delivered My people out of your hand, And they are no more in your hand for a prey, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.
22 Because disheartened [the] heart of [the] righteous falsehood and I not I caused pain him and to strengthen [the] hands of [the] wicked to not to turn back from way his evil to preserve alive him.
Because of paining the heart of the righteous with falsehood, And I have not pained it, And strengthening the hands of the wicked, So as not to turn back from his evil way, To keep him alive,
23 Therefore worthlessness not you will see and divination not you will divine again and I will deliver people my from hand your and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
Therefore, vanity ye do not see, And divination ye do not divine again, And I have delivered My people out of your hand, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah!'
