< Ezekiel 13 >

1 Again, the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:
2 “Son of man, prophesy against the prophets who are prophesying in Israel, and say to those who are prophesying out of their own imaginations, 'Listen to the word of Yahweh.
“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 The Lord Yahweh says this: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, but who 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 Israel, your prophets have been like jackals in the wastelands.
以色列啊,你的先知好像荒场中的狐狸,
5 You have not gone to the breaks in the wall around the house of Israel in order to repair it, in order to resist in battle on the day of Yahweh.
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 The people have false visions and make false predictions, those who say, “Such and such is Yahweh's declaration.” Yahweh has not sent them, but they nevertheless have made people hope that their messages would come true.
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 had false visions and made false predictions, you who say, “Such and such is Yahweh's declaration” when I myself have not spoken?'
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 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Because you have had false visions and have told lies—therefore this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration against you:
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 My hand will be against the prophets who have lying visions and who make false predictions. They will not be in the assembly of my people, or enrolled in the record of the house of Israel; they must not go to the land of Israel. For you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh!
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 of this, and because they led my people astray and said, “Peace!” when there is no peace, they are building a wall that they will paint with whitewash.'
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 are whitewashing the wall, 'It will fall down; there will be a downpour of rain, and I will send hailstones to make it fall down, and a windstorm wind to break it down.
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 See, the wall will fall down. Have others not said to you, “Where is the whitewash that 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 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: I will bring a windstorm in my rage, and there will be floods of rain in my wrath! Hailstones in my rage will completely destroy it.
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 For I will tear down the wall that you have covered with whitewash, and I will demolish it to the ground and lay bare its foundations. So it will fall, and you will be annihilated in the middle of it all. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.
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 For I will annihilate in my fury the wall and those who whitewashed it. I will say to you, “The wall exists no more, nor do the people who whitewashed 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 the prophets of Israel who prophesied about Jerusalem and who had visions of peace for her. But there is no peace!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”'
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 So you, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people who prophesy out of their own minds, and prophesy against them.
“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 Say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Woe to the women who sew magic charms onto every part of their hand and make veils for their heads of every size, used to hunt down people. Will you hunt down my people but save your own lives?
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 You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and crumbs of bread, to kill people who should not die, and to preserve the lives of those who should not continue to live, because of your lies to my people who heard you.
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 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: I am against the magic charms that you have used to ensnare the people's lives as if they were birds. Indeed, I will tear them from your arms; and the people whom you have trapped like birds—I will let them go free.
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 I will tear away your veils and rescue my people from your hand, so they will no longer be trapped in your hands. You will know that I am Yahweh.
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 you discourage the heart of the righteous person with lies, even though I did not desire his discouragement, and because you encourage instead the actions of the wicked person so that he will not turn from his way to save his 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 therefore you will no longer have false visions or continue to make predictions, for I will rescue my people out of your hand. You will know that I am Yahweh.'”
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。”
