Ezequiel 13

1 Y vino a mí la palabra del Señor, diciendo:

Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]

2 Hijo de hombre, profetiza contra los profetas de Israel, y di a aquellos profetas cuyas palabras son la invención de sus corazones: Presta atención a la palabra del Señor;

“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 Esto es lo que el Señor ha dicho: ¡Una maldición sobre los profetas necios que persiguen al espíritu que está en ellos 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 chacales en los lugares desolados.

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

5 No has subido a las brechas ni has amontonado el muro para que los hijos de Israel ocupen su lugar en la lucha en el día del Señor.

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 visiones sin sustancia y su adivinación es falsa; El Señor dice; y el Señor no los ha enviado: sin embargo esperan que la palabra tenga efecto.

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 has visto una visión sin sustancia y has hablado una adivinación falsa, cuando dices: El Señor ha dicho; aunque no he dicho nada?

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 Así que esto es lo que el Señor Dios ha dicho: “Porque tus palabras no tienen sustancia y tus visiones son falsas, mira, estoy contra ti”, dice el Señor Dios.

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 Y mi mano estará contra los profetas que ven visiones sin sustancia y sus profecías son falsas; no estarán en la congregación de mi pueblo, y no serán inscritos en la lista de los hijos de Israel, y no entrarán en la tierra de Israel; y sabrán que yo soy el Señor Dios.

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 estado guiando a mi gente al engaño, diciendo: Paz; cuando no hay paz; y cuando alguien construye un muro, alguien la cubre con lodo suelto.

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 Dile a los que blanquearon la pared, que caerá; habrá una lluvia desbordante; piedras de granizo, y se caerá; y será rota en dos por el viento huracanado.

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 Y cuando el muro se derrumbe, ¿no te dirán dónde está el lodo suelto que lo pusiste?

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 esta razón, el Señor Dios ha dicho: Lo romperé en dos por una tormenta de viento en mi furor; y habrá una lluvia desbordante en mi ira, y piedras de granizo, vendrás lloviendo airadamente para consumirlo.

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 dejaré que se destruya la pared que cubrían con lodo suelto; Lo tendré nivelado a la tierra para que se descubra su base; descenderá, y la destrucción vendrá sobre ustedes con ella; y sabrán que yo soy el Señor.

[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 De modo que voy a descargar mi furor en la pared en toda su extensión, y en aquellos que la blanquean; y les diré: ¿Dónde está la pared y dónde están los que la blanquearon?

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 Incluso los profetas de Israel que dicen palabras a Jerusalén, que ven visiones de paz para ella cuando no hay paz, dice el Señor Dios.

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 Y tú, hijo de hombre, vuelve tu rostro contra las hijas de tu pueblo, que están actuando como profetas en su placer; profetiza contra ellos, y di:

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

18 Esto es lo que el Señor Dios ha dicho: ¡Hay una maldición sobre las mujeres que están cosiendo almohadillas para los codos y colocando velos en las cabezas de las personas de toda talla, para que puedan cazar las almas! ¿Irás tras las almas de mi pueblo y te mantendrás a salvo de la muerte?

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 Y me avergüenzan, me deshonran delante de mi pueblo por un poco de cebada y algunos trozos de pan, enviando muerte a las almas para las que no hay causa de muerte, y manteniendo a esas almas viviendo que no tienen derecho a la vida, por las palabras falsas que dices a mi gente que escucha lo que es falso.

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 esta razón, el Señor ha dicho: Mira, estoy en contra de tus almohadillas con las que vas tras las almas, y las quitaré violentamente de sus brazos; y soltaré las almas, incluso las almas a las que dejaré volar libremente.

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 Y separaré tus velos violentamente en dos, y liberaré a mi pueblo de tus manos, y ya no estarán en tu poder para que vayas tras ellos y sabrán que yo soy el Señor.

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 tus palabras falsas has entristecido a el hombre recto cuando no lo había entristecido; para hacer fuertes las manos del malvado para que no pueda ser apartado de su mal camino y preservar 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 esta causa no verás más visiones tontas o harás un uso falso de las profecías; y liberaré a mi pueblo del poder de ustedes; y sabrán que yo soy el Señor.

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].” '”
