1斥责假先知
1The word of Yahweh came to 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。’”
2Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, Hear the word of Yahweh:
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 says the Lord Yahweh, Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
4以色列啊！你的先知好像废墟中的狐狸。
4Israel, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.
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。
5You have not gone up into the gaps, neither built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of Yahweh.
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 falsehood and lying divination, who say, Yahweh says; but Yahweh has not sent them: and they have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.
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。”
7Haven’t you seen a false vision, and haven’t you spoken a lying divination, in that you say, Yahweh says; but 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 says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have spoken falsehood, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, says the Lord Yahweh.
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。
9My hand shall be against the prophets who see false visions, and who divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and you shall know that I am the Lord Yahweh.
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 have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there is no peace; and when one builds up a wall, behold, they plaster it with whitewash:
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。’
11tell those who plaster it with whitewash, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and you, great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall tear it.
12那墙倒塌以后，人岂不会问你们：‘你们所粉刷的在哪里呢？’”
12Behold, when the wall has fallen, shall it not be said to you, Where is the plaster with which you have plastered it?
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 says the Lord Yahweh: I will even tear it with a stormy wind in my wrath; and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it.
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。
14So will I break down the wall that you have plastered with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and you shall be consumed in its midst: and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
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！’
15Thus will I accomplish my wrath on the wall, and on those who have plastered it with whitewash; and I will tell you, The wall is no more, neither those who plastered it;
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。
16to wit, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, says the Lord Yahweh.
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：
17You, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against 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 say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Woe to the women who sew pillows on all elbows, and make kerchiefs for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of my people, and save souls alive for yourselves?
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。
19You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die, and to save the souls alive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen 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 says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against your pillows, with which you there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls go, even the souls whom you hunt to make them fly.
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。
21Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
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 with lies you have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved 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 you shall no more see false visions, nor practice divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
