Ezequiel 13

1 Entonces la Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:

Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]

2 Hijo de hombre, profetiza contra los profetas de Israel. Di a los que profetizan de su propio corazón: Escuchen la Palabra de Yavé.

“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 ʼAdonay Yavé dice: ¡Ay de los profetas insensatos quienes siguen su propio espíritu, y nada ven!

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

4 Oh Israel, tus profetas son como zorras entre ruinas.

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

5 No subieron a las brechas ni edificaron un muro alrededor de la Casa de Israel para que resista en la batalla el día de Yavé.

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 Ven falsedad, brujería mentirosa, y dicen: Yavé dijo. Yavé no los envió, pero esperan que Él confirme la palabra de ellos.

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 tuvieron una visión falsa, y no hablan brujería mentirosa cuando dicen: Así dijo Yavé, pero Yo nada dije?

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 tanto ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Porque ustedes hablaron falsedad y vieron engaño, aquí estoy contra ustedes, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.

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 está contra los profetas que ven vanidad y adivinan mentira. No estarán en la congregación de mi pueblo, ni serán inscritos en el rollo de la Casa de Israel, ni volverán a la tierra de Israel. Y sabrán que Yo soy ʼAdonay Yavé.

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 Así es definitivamente, porque ellos extraviaron a mi pueblo al decir: Paz, cuando no hay paz. De manera que uno edifica el muro, y otros le ponen enlucido con mortero de cal, arena y agua.

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 Dí a los enlucidores que el mortero de cal, arena y agua caerá, que vendrá una lluvia torrencial y caerán piedras de granizo. Caerán. Un viento tempestuoso lo derribará.

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 Cuando el muro caiga, ¿no les preguntarán dónde está el mortero de cal, arena y agua con el cual lo enlucieron?

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 tanto ʼAdonay Yavé dice: En mi ira, dispondré que lo rompa un viento tempestuoso. Una lluvia torrencial vendrá con mi furor, y grandes pedriscos con mi ardor para destruir.

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 De este modo derribaré el muro que ustedes cubrieron con mortero de cal, arena y agua. Lo echaré a tierra, caerá y quedarán descubiertos sus cimientos. Cuando caiga, ustedes serán exterminados en la ciudad. Y sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.

[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 desahogaré mi furor en el muro y en los que lo enlucieron con mortero de cal, arena y agua. Y les diré: El muro desapareció. Los enlucidores se fueron,

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 con respecto a Jerusalén y tienen visión de paz para ella, sin haber paz, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.

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 Hijo de hombre, pon tu cara contra las hijas de tu pueblo que profetizan de su propio corazón. 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 ʼAdonay Yavé dice: ¡Ay de las que cosen pulseras mágicas para toda muñeca de mano y hacen velos mágicos de todo tamaño a fin de cazar las vidas! ¿Cazarán las vidas de mi pueblo para sostener su propia vida?

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 profanarán ante mi pueblo por puñados de cebada y mendrugos de pan al matar al que no debe morir, conceder la vida al que no debe vivir y mentir a mi pueblo que va tras 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 tanto ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Aquí estoy Yo contra sus pulseras mágicas con las cuales cazan vidas como si fueran pájaros. Se las quitaré de sus manos. Soltaré las vidas que ustedes cazan como si fueran 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 Romperé también sus velos mágicos. Libraré a mi pueblo de sus manos y ya no estarán como presa de sus manos. Y sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.

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 mentira entristecieron el corazón del justo, al cual Yo no entristecí. Animaron al perverso para que no se aparte de su perverso camino, y le preservaron su 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 tanto no tendrán más visiones vanas, ni practicarán brujería. Libraré a mi pueblo de su mano. Y sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.

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].” '”
