Prophetia Ezechielis, 13

1. Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:

1. The word of the LORD came to me:

2. “Fili hominis, vaticinare ad prophetas Israel, qui prophetant; et dices prophetantibus de corde suo: Audite verbum Domini.

2. "Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel, prophesy and say to those who prophesy out of their own minds: `Hear the word of the LORD!'

3. Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Vae prophetis insipientibus, qui sequuntur spiritum suum et nihil vident!

3. Thus says the Lord GOD, Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

4. Quasi vulpes in ruinis prophetae tui, Israel, facti sunt.

4. Your prophets have been like foxes among ruins, O Israel.

5. Non ascendistis confractiones neque opposuistis murum pro domo Israel, ut staretis in proelio in die Domini.

5. You have not gone up into the breaches, or built up a wall for the house of Israel, that it might stand in battle in the day of the LORD.

6. Vident vana et divinant mendacium dicentes: “Ait Dominus”, cum Dominus non miserit eos; et exspectant, ut confirmet sermonem.

6. They have spoken falsehood and divined a lie; they say, `Says the LORD,' when the LORD has not sent them, and yet they expect him to fulfil their word.

7. Numquid non visionem cassam vidistis et divinationem mendacem locuti estis, et dicitis: “Ait Dominus”, cum ego non sim locutus?

7. Have you not seen a delusive vision, and uttered a lying divination, whenever you have said, `Says the LORD,' although I have not spoken?"

8. Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Quia locuti estis vana et vidistis mendacium, ideo ecce ego ad vos, ait Dominus Deus;

8. Therefore thus says the Lord God: "Because you have uttered delusions and seen lies, therefore behold, I am against you, says the Lord GOD.

9. et erit manus mea super prophetas, qui vident vana et divinant mendacium: in consilio populi mei non erunt et in scriptura domus Israel non scribentur nec in terram Israel ingredientur, et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus.

9. My hand will be against the prophets who see delusive visions and who give lying divinations; they shall not be in the council of my people, nor be enrolled in the register of the house of Israel, nor shall they enter the land of Israel; and you shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

10. Eo quod deceperint populum meum dicentes: “Pax”, et non est pax; et ipse aedificabat parietem, illi autem liniebant eum calce.

10. Because, yea, because they have misled my people, saying, `Peace,' when there is no peace; and because, when the people build a wall, these prophets daub it with whitewash;

11. Dic ad eos, qui liniunt calce, quod casurus sit; erit enim imber inundans, et dabo lapides grandinis desuper irruentes et ventum procellae dissipantem.

11. say to those who daub it with whitewash that it shall fall! There will be a deluge of rain, great hailstones will fall, and a stormy wind break out;

12. Siquidem ecce cecidit paries; numquid non dicetur vobis: “Ubi est litura, quam levistis?”.

12. and when the wall falls, will it not be said to you, `Where is the daubing with which you daubed it?'

13. Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Et erumpere faciam spiritum tempestatum in indignatione mea, et imber inundans in furore meo erit, et lapides grandinis in ira in consumptionem;

13. Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: I will make a stormy wind break out in my wrath; and there shall be a deluge of rain in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to destroy it.

14. et destruam parietem, quem levistis calce, et adaequabo eum terrae, et revelabitur fundamentum eius, et cadet, et consumemini in medio eius et scietis quia ego sum Dominus.

14. And I will break down the wall that you have daubed with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be laid bare; when it falls, you shall perish in the midst of it; and you shall know that I am the LORD.

15. Et complebo indignationem meam in pariete et in his, qui leverunt eum calce, dicamque vobis: Non est paries, et non sunt qui leverunt eum; 16 prophetae Israel, qui prophetant ad Ierusalem et vident ei visionem pacis, et non est pax, ait Dominus Deus.

15. Thus will I spend my wrath upon the wall, and upon those who have daubed it with whitewash; and I will say to you, The wall is no more, nor those who daubed it,

16.

16. the prophets of Israel who prophesied concerning Jerusalem and saw visions of peace for her, when there was no peace, says the Lord GOD.

17. Et tu, fili hominis, pone faciem tuam contra filias populi tui, quae prophetant de corde suo, et vaticinare super eas

17. "And you, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own minds; prophesy against them

18. et dic: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Vae, quae consuunt fascias pro omni articulo manus et faciunt velamina pro capite omnis staturae ad capiendas animas! Numquid capietis animas de populo meo et vivificabitis animas vobis?

18. and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the women who sew magic bands upon all wrists, and make veils for the heads of persons of every stature, in the hunt for souls! Will you hunt down souls belonging to my people, and keep other souls alive for your profit?

19. Et violastis me ad populum meum pro pugillo hordei et fragmento panis, ut interficeretis animas, quae mori non deberent, et vivificastis animas, quae non deberent vivere, mentientes populo meo credenti mendaciis.

19. You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, putting to death persons who should not die and keeping alive persons who should not live, by your lies to my people, who listen to lies.

20. Propter hoc haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad fascias vestras, quibus vos capitis animas quasi volatilia, et disrumpam eas de brachiis vestris; et dimittam animas, quas vos cepistis, animas quasi volatilia,

20. "Wherefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against your magic bands with which you hunt the souls, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls that you hunt go free like birds.

21. et disrumpam velamina vestra et liberabo populum meum de manu vestra, neque erunt ultra in manibus vestris ad praedandum, et scietis quia ego Dominus.

21. Your veils also I will tear off, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand as prey; and you shall know that I am the LORD.

22. Pro eo quod maerere fecistis cor iusti mendaciter, quem ego non contristavi, et confortastis manus impii, ut non reverteretur a via sua mala et viveret,

22. Because you have disheartened the righteous falsely, although I have not disheartened him, and you have encouraged the wicked, that he should not turn from his wicked way to save his life;

23. propterea vana non videbitis et divinationes non divinabitis amplius, et eruam populum meum de manu vestra, et scietis quia ego Dominus”.

23. therefore you shall no more see delusive visions nor practice divination; I will deliver my people out of your hand. Then you will know that I am the LORD."
