Hiezechielis Prophetæ 13
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 Fili hominis, vaticinare ad prophetas Israel, qui prophetant: et dices prophetantibus de corde suo: Audite verbum Domini.
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;
3 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Væ prophetis insipientibus, qui sequuntur spiritum suum, et nihil vident.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
4 Quasi vulpes in desertis, prophetæ tui Israel erant.
O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
5 Non ascendistis ex adverso, neque opposuistis murum pro domo Israel, ut staretis in prælio in die Domini.
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.
6 Vident vana, et divinant mendacium, dicentes: Ait Dominus: cum Dominus non miserit eos: et perseveraverunt confirmare sermonem.
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.
7 Numquid non visionem cassam vidistis, et divinationem mendacem locuti estis? et dicitis, ait Dominus: cum ego non sim locutus.
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?
8 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quia locuti estis vana, et vidistis mendacium: ideo ecce ego ad vos, dicit Dominus Deus:
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I [am] against you, saith the Lord GOD.
9 Et erit manus mea super prophetas, qui vident vana, et divinant mendacium: in consilio populi mei non erunt, et in scriptura domus Israel non scribentur, nec in terram Israel ingredientur: et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus:
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.
10 Eo quod deceperint populum meum, dicentes: Pax, et non est pax: et ipse ædificabat parietem, illi autem liniebant eum luto absque paleis.
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]:
11 Dic ad eos, qui liniunt absque temperatura, quod casurus sit: erit enim imber inundans, et dabo lapides prægrandes desuper irruentes, et ventum procellæ dissipantem.
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].
12 Siquidem ecce cecidit paries: numquid non dicetur vobis: Ubi est litura, quam linistis?
Lo, when the wall hath fallen, shall it not be said to you, Where [is] the daubing with which ye have daubed [it]?
13 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Et erumpere faciam spiritum tempestatum in indignatione mea, et imber inundans in furore meo erit: et lapides grandes in ira in consumptionem.
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].
14 Et destruam parietem, quem linistis absque temperamento: et adæquabo eum terræ, et revelabitur fundamentum eius: et cadet, et consumetur in medio eius: et scietis quia ego sum Dominus.
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.
15 Et complebo indignationem meam in pariete, et in his, qui liniunt eum absque temperamento, dicamque vobis: Non est paries, et non sunt qui liniunt eum.
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;
16 Prophetæ Israel, qui prophetant ad Ierusalem, et vident ei visionem pacis: et non est pax, ait Dominus Deus.
[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.
17 Et tu fili hominis, pone faciem tuam contra filias populi tui, quæ prophetant de corde suo: et vaticinare super eas,
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,
18 et dic: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Væ quæ consuunt pulvillos sub omni cubito manus: et faciunt cervicalia sub capite universæ ætatis ad capiendas animas: et cum caperent animas populi mei, vivificabant animas eorum.
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?
19 Et violabant me ad populum meum propter pugillum hordei, et fragmen panis, ut interficerent animas, quæ non moriuntur, et vivificarent animas, quæ non vivunt, mentientes populo meo credenti mendaciis.
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?
20 Propter hoc hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad pulvillos vestros, quibus vos capitis animas volantes: et dirumpam eos de brachiis vestris: et dimittam animas, quas vos capitis, animas ad volandum.
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.
21 Et dirumpam cervicalia vestra, et liberabo populum meum de manu vestra, neque erunt ultra in manibus vestris ad prædandum: et scietis quia ego Dominus.
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.
22 Pro eo quod mœrere fecistis cor iusti mendaciter, quem ego non contristavi: et confortastis manus impii, ut non reverteretur a via sua mala, et viveret:
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:
23 propterea vana non videbitis, et divinationes non divinabitis amplius, et eruam populum meum de manu vestra: et scietis quia ego Dominus.
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.
