Hesekiel 13
1 Och Herrans ord skedde till mig, och sade:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
2 Du menniskobarn, prophetera emot Israels Propheter, och säg till dem som utaf sitt eget hjerta prophetera: Hörer Herrans ord.
“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 Detta säger Herren Herren: Ve dem galna Prophetomen, som sin egen anda följa, och hafva dock ingen syn.
He says, “Terrible things will happen to those wicked prophets who proclaim their own ideas and have not seen [visions from me].
4 O Israel! dine Propheter äro lika som räfvar i öknene.
You Israeli people, your prophets [as useless] as [SIM] jackals/wolves [that only dig] through the [of a city].
5 De träda icke framför gapet, och göra sig icke till en mur omkring Israels hus, och stå intet i stridene på Herrans dag.
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 Deras syner äro intet, och deras Prophetie är icke utan lögn; de säga: Herren hafver det sagt; ändock Herren hafver intet sändt dem, och vinnlägga sig, att de kunna hålla sin ord vid magt.
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 Äro icke edra syner intet, och edor Prophetie alltsammans lögn? Och I sägen likväl: Herren hafver det sagt; ändock jag det intet sagt hafver.
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 Derföre säger Herren Herren alltså: Efter I prediken det, der intet af varder, och propheteren lögn, så vill jag till eder, säger Herren Herren.
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 Och min hand skall komma öfver de Propheter, som predika det, der intet utaf varder, och prophetera lögn; de skola intet vara uti mins folks församling, och uti Israels hus tal icke beskrefne varda, eller komma uti Israels land; och I skolen förnimma, att jag är Herren Herren;
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 Derföre, att de förföra mitt folk, och säga: Frid, ändock der är ingen frid; folket bygger upp väggena; men de bestryka henne med lös kalk.
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 Säg till de bestrykare, som med lösom kalk bestryka, att det varder affallandes; ty ett slagregn varder kommandes, och stort hagel fallandes, och en väderhvirfvel skall storma deruppå.
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 Si, så skall väggen falla; hvad gäller, man varder då till eder sägandes: Hvar är nu den bestrykningen, som I strukit hafven?
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 Detta säger Herren Herren: Jag skall låta storma en väderhvirfvel i mine grymhet, och ett slagregn i mine vrede, och stora hagelstenar i barm, de skola allt omkullslå.
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 Och så skall jag omkullslå väggena, den I med lös kalk bestrukit hafven, och kasta henne till jordena, så att man skall se hennes grundval, att hon nedre ligger; och I skolen också derinne förgås, och förnimma att jag är Herren.
[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 Alltså skall jag fullkomna mina grymhet på väggene, och uppå dem som henne med lösom kalk bestryka, och säga till eder: Här är hvarken vägg eller bestrykare.
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 Detta äro Israels Propheter, som till Jerusalem prophetera, och predika om frid, ändock der ingen frid är, säger Herren Herren.
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 Och du menniskobarn, ställ ditt ansigte emot döttrarna i ditt folk, hvilka prophetera utaf sitt hjerta; och prophetera emot dem,
So, you human, show that you are angry with [IDM] the women of Jerusalem who prophesy things that they themselves have imagined.
18 Och säg: Detta säger Herren Herren: Ve eder, som gören menniskomen hyende under armarna, och örnagott under hufvuden, både ungom och gamlom, till att fånga själar; när I nu hafven fångat själarna i mitt folk, så sägen I dem lif till;
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 Och ohelgen mig i mitt folk, för en hand full med bjugg, och för en beta bröd, dermed att I dömen de själar till döds, som dock intet dö skulle, och dömen dem till lifs, som dock icke lefva skulle, genom edra lögn ibland mitt folk, som lögn gerna hörer.
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 Derföre säger Herren Herren: Si, jag vill till edor hyende, der I själarna med gripen och förtrösten, och skall rycka dem bort undan edra armar, och de själar, som I gripen och förtrösten, lösa göra;
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 Och skall sönderrifva edor örnagott, och fria mitt folk utur edra hand, att I intet mer skolen gripa dem; och I skolen förnimma, att jag; är Herren;
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 Derföre, att I falskeliga bedröfven de rättfärdigas hjerta, hvilka jag intet bedröfvat hafver, och hafven styrkt de ogudaktigas händer, så att de intet omvända sig ifrå sitt onda väsende, på det de måtte lefvande blifva.
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 Derföre skolen I intet mer predika onyttiga läro, eller prophetera; utan jag skall fria mitt folk utur edra händer, och I skolen förnimma, att jag är Herren.
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].” '”
