< Ezekiel 13 >
1 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:
2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou to them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD;
“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 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and 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 O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
以色列啊,你的先知好像荒场中的狐狸,
5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.
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 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made [others] to hope that they would confirm the word.
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 ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith [it], although I 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 thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I [am] against you, saith the Lord GOD.
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 And my hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly 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 ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.
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, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and [there was] no peace; and one built up a wall, and lo, others daubed it with untempered [mortar]:
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 them who daub [it] with untempered [mortar], that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend [it].
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 Lo, when the wall hath fallen, shall it not be said to you, Where [is] the daubing with which ye have daubed [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 thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend [it] with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in [my] fury to consume [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 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered [mortar], and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation shall be made bare, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst of it: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
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 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered [mortar], and will say to you, The wall [is] no [more], neither they that daubed 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 [To wit], the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and [there is] no peace, saith the Lord GOD.
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 Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou 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 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the [women] that sew pillows to all arm-holes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive [that come] to you?
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 And will ye profane me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear [your] lies?
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 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against your pillows, with which ye there hunt the souls to make [them] fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, [even] the souls that ye hunt to make [them] fly.
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 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall no more be in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
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 with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him 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 ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
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。”
