Ezequiel 13

1 La palabra de Yahvé vino a mí, diciendo:

Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]

2 “Hijo de hombre, profetiza contra los profetas de Israel que profetizan, y di a los que profetizan de su propio corazón: “Escuchen la palabra de Yahvé:

“You human, [a warning] against the prophets in Israel who are prophesying. Some of them are prophesying things that they themselves have imagined/thought. Say to them: 'Listen to what Yahweh says!

3 El Señor Yahvé dice: “¡Ay de los profetas necios, que siguen su propio espíritu, y no han visto nada!

He says, “Terrible things will happen to those wicked prophets who proclaim their own ideas and have not seen [visions from me].

4 Israel, tus profetas han sido como zorros en los lugares baldíos.

You Israeli people, your prophets [as useless] as [SIM] jackals/wolves [that only dig] through the [of a city].

5 No han subido a las brechas ni han levantado el muro para la casa de Israel, para estar en la batalla en el día de Yahvé.

Those prophets have not helped you Israeli people [MTY] to repair the places where [city] walls have (been broken/crumbled). That needs to be done in order that the walls will be strong at the time when I, Yahweh, [allow your enemies] to attack you.

6 Han visto la falsedad y la adivinación mentirosa, que dicen: ‘Dice Yahvé’; pero Yahvé no los ha enviado. Han hecho esperar a los hombres que la palabra se confirme.

The visions and prophecies of those prophets are false. They say, 'Yahweh told me this,' but I have not sent [to you to be my prophets]. But they expect that what they prophesy will truly happen!

7 ¿No han visto una visión falsa, y no han hablado una adivinación mentirosa, al decir: ‘Dice Yahvé;’ pero yo no he hablado?”

They say that they have seen visions, but those visions are false, and the things that they prophesy are lies [RHQ]. They say, 'Yahweh told me this,' but I have told them nothing!”

8 “‘Por lo tanto, el Señor Yahvé dice: “Por cuanto has hablado falsedades y has visto mentiras, por lo tanto, he aquí que yo estoy contra ti”, dice el Señor Yahvé.

Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: “Because you prophets have said what is false, and because your visions are lies, I am opposed to you.

9 “Mi mano estará en contra de los profetas que ven visiones falsas y que profieren adivinaciones mentirosas. No estarán en el consejo de mi pueblo, ni serán inscritos en la escritura de la casa de Israel, ni entrarán en la tierra de Israel. Entonces sabréis que yo soy el Señor Yahvé”.

I will strike/punish all you prophets who falsely say that you have seen visions and prophesy things that are lies. You will not have any place among my people, your names will not be listed in the records of the Israeli people, and you will never return to Israel. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”

10 “‘Porque, incluso porque han seducido a mi pueblo, diciendo: “Paz”; y no hay paz. Cuando uno construye un muro, he aquí que lo revocan con cal.

They deceive my people, saying “Things will go well for us,” when things will not go well. [It as though] [MET] the people have built a shaky/weak wall, and the prophets cover it with (whitewash/white paint) [to make people think that it is a very strong wall].

11 Di a los que la revisten de cal que se caerá. Habrá una lluvia desbordante; y ustedes, grandes piedras de granizo, caerán. Un viento tempestuoso lo desgarrará.

So, tell those prophets who cover the wall with whitewash that the wall will surely fall down. It will rain very hard. I will send big hailstones to fall. Very strong winds will blow against it.

12 He aquí que cuando el muro haya caído, ¿no se les dirá: “¿Dónde está el yeso con que lo han revocado?”

When the wall falls down, the people will certainly say to those prophets, “The white paint certainly did not [RHQ] make the wall strong!”

13 “‘Por eso dice el Señor Yahvé: “Incluso la desgarraré con un viento tempestuoso en mi ira. Habrá una lluvia desbordante en mi furia, y grandes piedras de granizo en la ira para consumirla.

So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: “Because I am very angry with you, [I will send enemy armies to destroy Jerusalem. It will be as though] [MET] I will send a very strong wind and hailstones and very heavy rains to destroy you.”

14 Así que derribaré el muro que has enlucido con cal, y lo derribaré hasta el suelo, para que queden al descubierto sus cimientos. Caerá, y tú serás consumido en medio de ella. Entonces sabrás que yo soy Yahvé.

[The false prophecies of your prophets are like] [MET] a wall that they have covered with whitewash, but I will break it down, and shatter it down to the ground, with the result that people can see its foundations. When the wall collapses, you also will be killed, and everyone will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].

15 Así cumpliré mi ira sobre el muro y sobre los que lo han enlucido con cal. Les diré: ‘Ya no existe el muro, ni los que lo enlucieron;

In that way I will show that I am very angry [the people who built] the wall and those who covered it with (whitewash/white paint). Then I will say to you, “The wall is destroyed/gone, and those prophets who put (whitewash/white paint) on it have been killed.”

16 es decir, los profetas de Israel que profetizan sobre Jerusalén, y que ven visiones de paz para ella, y no hay paz’”, dice el Señor Yahvé”.

Those are the prophets who prophesied that things would go well for the people in Jerusalem, when things would not go well for them.

17 Tú, hijo de hombre, pon tu rostro contra las hijas de tu pueblo, que profetizan de su propio corazón; y profetiza contra ellas,

So, you human, show that you are angry with [IDM] the women of Jerusalem who prophesy things that they themselves have imagined.

18 y di: “El Señor Yahvé dice: ‘¡Ay de las mujeres que cosen bandas mágicas en todos los codos y hacen velos para la cabeza de personas de toda estatura para cazar almas! ¿Queréis cazar las almas de mi pueblo y salvar las almas vivas para vosotras?

Tell them, “This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Terrible things will happen to you women who fasten magic charms on your wrists and make veils of various sizes to put on your heads in order to deceive the people. [You think that] [RHQ] you will deceive [by telling them that you know what will happen in the future], and that you will save your own lives.

19 Me habéis profanado entre mi pueblo por puñados de cebada y por trozos de pan, para matar a las almas que no deberían morir y para salvar a las almas vivas que no deberían vivir, con vuestras mentiras a mi pueblo que escucha las mentiras.’

You dishonored [by telling lies] in order to get from my people a few handfuls of barley and a few pieces of bread. My people listen to lies; and you women who are lying to them have caused to be killed people who did not deserve to die and have (spared/allowed to remain alive) those who should not continue to live.”

20 “Por eso dice el Señor Yahvé: ‘He aquí que yo estoy contra tus bandas mágicas, con las que cazas las almas para hacerlas volar, y las arrancaré de tus brazos. Dejaré que las almas vuelen libres, incluso las almas que ustedes atrapan como pájaros.

Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, [to those women]: “I detest your magic charms by which you deceive people like [SIM] [people trap] birds. I will tear those charms off your wrists, and I will cause the people whom you have deceived to no longer be deceived by you.

21 También rasgaré tus velos y libraré a mi pueblo de tu mano; y ya no estarán en tu mano para ser atrapados. Entonces sabrás que yo soy Yahvé.

I will also tear off your veils and rescue my people from continuing to be deceived by you, and they will no longer be under your control. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].

22 Porque con la mentira has afligido el corazón del justo, a quien no he entristecido; y has fortalecido las manos del impío, para que no se vuelva de su mal camino y se salve con vida.

You have discouraged righteous people by telling them lies when I did not [do things to] cause them to be sad. And you have encouraged wicked people to not turn away from their wicked behavior; if they had done that, they would have continued to remain alive.

23 Por lo tanto, no verás más visiones falsas ni practicarás la adivinación. Yo libraré a mi pueblo de tu mano. Entonces sabrás que yo soy Yahvé”.

Therefore, you will no longer falsely say that you have seen visions or tell people what will happen in the future [in order to please them]. I will rescue my people from being deceived by you. And then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” '”
