Ezekieri 13
1 Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Mwanakomana womunhu, profita pamusoro pavaprofita vaIsraeri vari kukuprofitirai zvino. Uti kuna avo vanoprofita zvinobva pamurangariro wavo, ‘Inzwai shoko raJehovha!
“Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who are now prophesying. Tell those who prophesy out of their own imagination: Hear the word of the LORD!
3 Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Vane nhamo vaprofita mapenzi vanotevera mweya yavo pachavo ivo vasina chavakaona!
This is what the Lord GOD says: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, yet have seen nothing.
4 Vaprofita venyu, imi vaIsraeri, vakafanana namakava ari pakati pamatongo.
Your prophets, O Israel, are like foxes among the ruins.
5 Hamuna kukwira pakakoromoka porusvingo kuti mupagadzirire imba yaIsraeri, kuti igomira yakasimba pahondo pazuva raJehovha.
You did not go up to the gaps or restore the wall around the house of Israel so that it would stand in the battle on the Day of the LORD.
6 Zviratidzo zvavo ndezvenhema uye kuvuka kwavo inhema. Ivo vanoti, “Jehovha anoti,” asi Jehovha asina kuvatuma; asi vanotarisira kuti mashoko avo azadzisike.
They see false visions and speak lying divinations. They claim, ‘Thus declares the LORD,’ when the LORD did not send them; yet they wait for the fulfillment of their message.
7 Hauna kuona zviratidzo zvenhema here uye mukataura nhema pakuvuka pamainge muchiti, “Jehovha anoti,” kunyange zvangu ndisina kutaura?
Haven’t you seen a false vision and spoken a lying divination when you proclaim, ‘Thus declares the LORD,’ even though I have not spoken?
8 “‘Naizvozvo, zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Nokuda kwamashoko enyu enhema nezviratidzo zvenhema ndinokupai mhosva, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you have uttered vain words and seen false visions, I am against you, declares the Lord GOD.
9 Ruoko rwangu rucharwa navaprofita vanoona zviratidzo zvenhema uye vanotaura kuvuka kwenhema. Havangavi pakati pamakurukota avanhu vangu kana kunyorwa muzvinyorwa zveimba yaIsraeri, uye havangapindi munyika yaIsraeri. Ipapo muchaziva kuti ndini Ishe Jehovha.
My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and speak lying divinations. They will not belong to the council of My people or be recorded in the register of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.
10 “‘Nokuda kwokuti vanotsausa vanhu vangu, vachiti, “Rugare,” ipo pasina rugare, uye nokuti pavanovaka rusvingo rwakatetepa vanorupenda nependi chena.
Because they have led My people astray, saying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and whitewashing any flimsy wall that is built,
11 Naizvozvo udza ivavo vanorupenda kuti ruchawa. Mvura ichanaya yakawanda, uye ndichatuma chimvuramabwe chicharova pasi, uye mhepo dzine simba dzichavhuvhuta.
tell those whitewashing the wall that it will fall. Rain will come in torrents, I will send hailstones plunging down, and a windstorm will burst forth.
12 Panoondomoka rusvingo vanhu havazokubvunzi here vachiti, “Iripiko pendi chena yamakarupenda nayo?”
Surely when the wall has fallen, you will not be asked, ‘Where is the whitewash with which you covered it?’
13 “‘Naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Muhasha dzangu ndichasunungura mhepo ine simba, uye pakutsamwa kwangu chimvuramabwe nemvura zhinji zvichanaya nokuparadza kunotyisa.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: In My wrath I will release a windstorm, and in My anger torrents of rain and hail will fall with destructive fury.
14 Ndichaparadza rusvingo rwawakapenda nependi chena uye ndicharukoromora ndigorusiya rwati ware ware pasi zvokuti nheyo dzarwo dzichasara dzava pachena. Paruchakoromoka, nemi muchaparadzwa murimo; uye muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.
I will tear down the wall you whitewashed and level it to the ground, so that its foundation is exposed. The city will fall, and you will be destroyed within it. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
15 Saka ndichapedzera hasha dzangu parusvingo napamusoro pavaya vairupenda nependi chena. Ndichati kwamuri, “Rusvingo rwaparara uye naivowo vakarupenda nependi chena,
And after I have vented My wrath against the wall and against those who whitewashed it, I will say to you: ‘The wall is gone, and so are those who whitewashed it—
16 vaya vaprofita veIsraeri vakaprofita pamusoro peJerusarema uye vakaona zviratidzo zvorugare rwaro nyamba kwakanga kusina rugare, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.”’
those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw a vision of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Lord GOD.’
17 “Zvino, iwe mwanakomana womunhu, rinzira chiso chako pamusoro pavanasikana vavanhu vako vanoprofita zvinobva mundangariro dzavo. Profita pamusoro pavo,
Now, O son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people who prophesy out of their own imagination. Prophesy against them
18 uti, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Vane nhamo vakadzi vanosonera mazango pamaoko avo uye vanoita zvifukidzo zvemisoro yavo zvemhando dzakasiyana-siyana pakureba vachiitira kuti vateye vanhu nazvo. Ko, imi muchateya upenyu hwavanhu vangu asi muchichengetedza hwenyu here?
and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: Woe to the women who sew magic charms on their wrists and make veils for the heads of people of every height, in order to ensnare their souls. Will you ensnare the souls of My people but preserve your own?
19 Makandisvibisa pakati pavanhu vangu nokuda kwezviyero zvishoma zvebhari namafufu echingwa. Pamakareva nhema kuvanhu vangu, vanoteerera nhema, makauraya vaya vakanga vasingafaniri kufa, mukasiya vakanga vasingafaniri kurarama.
You have profaned Me among My people for handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. By lying to My people who would listen, you have killed those who should not have died and spared those who should not have lived.
20 “‘Naizvozvo, zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Ndinovenga mazango enyu amunoteya nawo vanhu kunge munoteya shiri, zvino ndichaadambura pamaoko enyu; ndichasunungura vanhu vamunoteya seshiri.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: See, I am against the magic charms with which you ensnare souls like birds, and I will tear them from your arms. So I will free the souls you have ensnared like birds.
21 Ndichabvarura mavhoiri enyu ndigoponesa vanhu vangu pamaoko enyu, uye havachazovi nyama mumaoko enyu, uye havachazobatwizve nesimba renyu. Ipapo muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.
I will also tear off your veils and deliver My people from your hands, so that they will no longer be prey in your hands. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
22 Nokuti makaodza mwoyo yavakarurama nenhema dzenyu, vandakanga ndisina kuchemedza ini, uye nokuti makakurudzira vakaipa kuti varege kutendeuka panzira dzavo dzakaipa nokudaro vaponese mweya yavo,
Because you have disheartened the righteous with your lies, even though I have caused them no grief, and because you have encouraged the wicked not to turn from their evil ways to save their lives,
23 naizvozvo hamuchazoonizve zviratidzo zvenhema kana kuita zvokuvuka. Ndichaponesa vanhu vangu pamaoko enyu. Ipapo zvino muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.’”
therefore you will no longer see false visions or practice divination. I will deliver My people from your hands. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”
