< Ezekiel 13 >

1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
耶和華的話臨到我說:
2 '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:
「人子啊,你要說預言攻擊以色列中說預言的先知,對那些本己心發預言的說:『你們當聽耶和華的話。』」
3 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe unto the prophets who are foolish, Who are going after their own spirit, And they have seen nothing.
主耶和華如此說:「愚頑的先知有禍了,他們隨從自己的心意,卻一無所見。
4 As foxes in the wastes, Thy prophets, O Israel, have been.
以色列啊,你的先知好像荒場中的狐狸,
5 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.
沒有上去堵擋破口,也沒有為以色列家重修牆垣,使他們當耶和華的日子在陣上站立得住。
6 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.
這些人所見的是虛假,是謊詐的占卜。他們說是耶和華說的,其實耶和華並沒有差遣他們,他們倒使人指望那話必然立定。
7 A vain vision have ye not seen, And a lying divination spoken, When ye say: An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have not spoken?
你們豈不是見了虛假的異象嗎?豈不是說了謊詐的占卜嗎?你們說,這是耶和華說的,其實我沒有說。」
8 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.
所以主耶和華如此說:「因你們說的是虛假,見的是謊詐,我就與你們反對。這是主耶和華說的。
9 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.
我的手必攻擊那見虛假異象、用謊詐占卜的先知,他們必不列在我百姓的會中,不錄在以色列家的冊上,也不進入以色列地;你們就知道我是主耶和華。
10 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.
因為他們誘惑我的百姓,說:『平安!』其實沒有平安,就像有人立起牆壁,他們倒用未泡透的灰抹上。
11 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,
所以你要對那些抹上未泡透灰的人說:『牆要倒塌,必有暴雨漫過。大冰雹啊,你們要降下,狂風也要吹裂這牆。』
12 And lo, fallen hath the wall! Doth not one say unto you, Where [is] the daubing that ye daubed?
這牆倒塌之後,人豈不問你們說:『你們抹上未泡透的灰在哪裏呢?』」
13 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.
所以主耶和華如此說:「我要發怒,使狂風吹裂這牆,在怒中使暴雨漫過,又發怒降下大冰雹,毀滅這牆。
14 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.
我要這樣拆毀你們那未泡透灰所抹的牆,拆平到地,以致根基露出,牆必倒塌,你們也必在其中滅亡;你們就知道我是耶和華。
15 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;
我要這樣向牆和用未泡透灰抹牆的人成就我怒中所定的,並要對你們說:『牆和抹牆的人都沒有了。』
16 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.
這抹牆的就是以色列的先知,他們指着耶路撒冷說預言,為這城見了平安的異象,其實沒有平安。這是主耶和華說的。」
17 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,
「人子啊,你要面向本民中、從己心發預言的女子說預言,攻擊她們,
18 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?
說主耶和華如此說:『這些婦女有禍了!她們為眾人的膀臂縫靠枕,給高矮之人做下垂的頭巾,為要獵取人的性命。難道你們要獵取我百姓的性命,為利己將人救活嗎?
19 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.
你們為兩把大麥,為幾塊餅,在我民中褻瀆我,對肯聽謊言的民說謊,殺死不該死的人,救活不該活的人。』」
20 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.
所以主耶和華如此說:「看哪,我與你們的靠枕反對,就是你們用以獵取人、使人的性命如鳥飛的。我要將靠枕從你們的膀臂上扯去,釋放你們獵取如鳥飛的人。
21 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.
我也必撕裂你們下垂的頭巾,救我百姓脫離你們的手,不再被獵取,落在你們手中。你們就知道我是耶和華。
22 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,
我不使義人傷心,你們卻以謊話使他傷心,又堅固惡人的手,使他不回頭離開惡道得以救活。
23 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!'
你們就不再見虛假的異象,也不再行占卜的事;我必救我的百姓脫離你們的手;你們就知道我是耶和華。」
