1斥责假先知
1And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
2“人子啊!你要说预言攻击那些在以色列中说预言的先知,对那些随着自己心意说预言的人说:‘你们要听耶和华的话。’”
2`Son of man, prophesy concerning the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and thou hast said to those prophesying from their own heart: Hear ye a word of Jehovah:
3主耶和华这样说:“愚顽的先知有祸了,他们只是随从自己的灵说预言,却没有看见过什么异象。
3Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo unto the prophets who are foolish, Who are going after their own spirit, And they have seen nothing.
4以色列啊!你的先知好像废墟中的狐狸。
4As foxes in the wastes, Thy prophets, O Israel, have been.
5他们没有上去堵塞破口,也没有为以色列家重修墙垣,使它在耶和华的日子,在战争中可以站立得住。
5Ye have not gone up into breaches, Nor do ye make a fence for the house of Israel, To stand in battle in a day of Jehovah.
6他们所见的是虚假的异象,是骗人的占卜;他们说:‘这是耶和华的宣告。’其实耶和华并没有差遣他们,他们却希望自己的话能够应验。
6They have seen vanity, and lying divination, Who are saying: An affirmation of Jehovah, And Jehovah hath not sent them, And they have hoped to establish a word.
7你们不是见了虚假的异象,不是说了骗人的占卜吗?你们还说:‘这是耶和华的宣告。’其实我并没有说过。”
7A vain vision have ye not seen, And a lying divination spoken, When ye say: An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have not spoken?
8因此,主耶和华这样说:“因为你们所说的是虚假,所见的是欺诈,因此我就攻击你们。这是主耶和华的宣告。
8Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen a lie, Therefore, lo, I [am] against you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
9我的手必攻击那些看见虚假异象、以占卜骗人的先知,他们必不得列在我子民的会中,不得被记录在以色列家的名册上,也不得进入以色列地;你们就知道我是主耶和华。
9And My hand hath been on the prophets, Who are seeing vanity, and who are divining a lie, In the assembly of My people they are not, And in the writing of the house of Israel they are not written, And unto the ground of Israel they come not, And ye have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.
10因为他们迷惑了我的子民,说:‘平安了。’其实没有平安。有人筑起薄墙的时候,他们就用灰泥粉刷那墙。
10Because, even because, they did cause My people to err, Saying, Peace! and there is no peace, And that one is building a wall, And lo, they are daubing it with chalk.
11所以你要对那些用灰泥粉刷那墙的人说:‘那墙要倒塌,必有暴雨漫过。大冰雹啊!你们要降下,狂风也必暴刮。’
11Say to those daubing with chalk — It falleth, There hath been an overflowing shower, And ye, O hailstones, do fall, And a tempestuous wind doth rend,
12那墙倒塌以后,人岂不会问你们:‘你们所粉刷的在哪里呢?’”
12And lo, fallen hath the wall! Doth not one say unto you, Where [is] the daubing that ye daubed?
13因此,主耶和华这样说:“我要在我的烈怒中使狂风暴刮;在我的忿怒中有暴雨漫过;在烈怒中有大冰雹降下毁灭这墙。
13Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have rent with a tempestuous wind in My fury, And an overflowing shower is in Mine anger, And hailstones in My fury — to consume.
14我要拆毁你们用灰泥粉刷的墙。使它倾倒在地,以致根基露出来;墙必倒塌,你们必在其中灭亡;你们就知道我是耶和华。
14And I have broken down the wall that ye daubed with chalk, And have caused it to come unto the earth, And revealed hath been its foundation, And it hath fallen, And ye have been consumed in its midst, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.
15我必这样向墙,和向那些用灰泥粉刷这墙的人发尽我的烈怒。我要对他们说:‘墙没有了!粉刷那墙的人也没有了!’
15And I have completed My wrath on the wall, And on those daubing it with chalk, And I say to you: The wall is not, And those daubing it are not;
16粉刷那墙的人,就是以色列的众先知;他们指着耶路撒冷说预言,在没有平安的时候,为这城见平安的异象。这是主耶和华的宣告。
16The prophets of Israel who are prophesying concerning Jerusalem, And who are seeing for her a vision of peace, And there is no peace, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
17斥责假女先知“人子啊!你要面向民中那些随着自己心意说预言的女子,说预言攻击她们。你要说:
17And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who are prophesying out of their own heart, and prophesy concerning them,
18‘主耶和华这样说:这些女子有祸了,她们替众人的手腕缝制符咒的带子,又替众人制造不同长度的头巾,为要猎取人的性命。难道你们猎取我子民的性命,就能保全自己的性命吗?
18And thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo to those sowing pillows for all joints of the arm, And to those making the kerchiefs For the head of every stature — to hunt souls, The souls do ye hunt of My people? And the souls ye have do ye keep alive?
19你们为了几把大麦,为了几块饼,就在我的子民中间亵渎我;你们向我那些愿听谎言的子民说谎,不该死的人,你们杀死了;不该活的人,你们却保全他们的性命。
19Yea, ye pierce Me concerning My people, For handfuls of barley, And for pieces of bread, to put to death Souls that should not die, And to keep alive souls that should not live, By your lying to My people — hearkening to lies.
20“‘因此,主耶和华这样说:我要与你们符咒的带子作对。你们用它们来猎取人的性命,好像猎取飞鸟一样。我必把它们从你们的膀臂上扯下来,释放那些被你们像飞鸟一样猎取的性命。
20Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against your pillows, With which ye are hunting there the souls of the flourishing, And I have rent them from off your arms, And have sent away the souls that ye are hunting, The souls of the flourishing.
21我必扯下你们的头巾,救我的子民脱离你们的手,使他们不再被你们的手猎取;你们就知道我是耶和华。
21And I have torn your kerchiefs, And delivered My people out of your hand, And they are no more in your hand for a prey, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.
22我没有使义人灰心,你们却用谎言使他们灰心,又坚固恶人的手,使他们不转离恶道而得拯救。
22Because of paining the heart of the righteous with falsehood, And I have not pained it, And strengthening the hands of the wicked, So as not to turn back from his evil way, To keep him alive,
23因此,你们不得再见虚假的异象,也不得再行占卜的事;我要救我的子民脱离你们的手。你们就知道我是耶和华。’”
23Therefore, vanity ye do not see, And divination ye do not divine again, And I have delivered My people out of your hand, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah!`
