Ezekiel 13

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 The word of Yahweh was addressed to me as follows,	1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:
2 'Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel; prophesy, and say to those who make upprophecies out of their own heads, "Hear what Yahweh says:	2 “ Fili hominis, vaticinaread prophetas Israel, qui prophetant; et dices prophetantibus de corde suo:Audite verbum Domini.
3 The Lord Yahweh says this: Disaster is in store for the foolish prophets who fol ow their own spirit andhave seen nothing!	3 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Vae prophetis insipientibus,qui sequuntur spiritum suum et nihil vident!
4 Your prophets, Israel, are like ruin-haunting jackals!	4 Quasi vulpes in ruinis prophetaetui, Israel, facti sunt.
5 "You have not ventured into the breach; you have not built up the wal round the House of Israel, tohold fast in battle on the Day of Yahweh.	5 Non ascendistis confractiones neque opposuistis murumpro domo Israel, ut staretis in proelio in die Domini.
6 Theirs are futile visions and false predictions, who say: A prophecy from Yahweh, when Yahweh hasnot sent them; yet they expect their words to come true.	6 Vident vana et divinantmendacium dicentes: “Ait Dominus”, cum Dominus non miserit eos; etexspectant, ut confirmet sermonem.
7 Have not the visions you see been futile, have not the predictions you make been false, although yousay: A prophecy of Yahweh, when I have not spoken?	7 Numquid non visionem cassam vidistis etdivinationem mendacem locuti estis, et dicitis: “Ait Dominus”, cum ego nonsim locutus?
8 "Very wel , the Lord Yahweh says this: Because of your futile words and false predictions, I am nowagainst you -- declares Lord Yahweh.	8 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Quia locuti estis vana et vidistismendacium, ideo ecce ego ad vos, ait Dominus Deus;
9 My hand wil be against the prophets who have futile visions and give false predictions; they will not beadmitted to the council of my people, their names wil not be entered in the roll of the House of Israel, they willnot set foot on the soil of Israel; and they wil know that I am the Lord Yahweh.	9 et erit manus mea superprophetas, qui vident vana et divinant mendacium: in consilio populi mei nonerunt et in scriptura domus Israel non scribentur nec in terram Israelingredientur, et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus.
10 This is because they have misled my people by saying Peace! when there is no peace. When mypeople were repairing a wal , these men came and plastered it over!	10 Eo quod deceperint populummeum dicentes: “Pax”, et non est pax; et ipse aedificabat parietem, illiautem liniebant eum calce.
11 Tel these plasterers: It will rain hard, it wil hail, it wil blow a gale,	11 Dic ad eos, qui liniunt calce, quod casurus sit;erit enim imber inundans, et dabo lapides grandinis desuper irruentes et ventumprocellae dissipantem.
12 and down wil come the wal ! Will not people ask you: What has become of the plaster you slappedon it?	12 Siquidem ecce cecidit paries; numquid non diceturvobis: “Ubi est litura, quam levistis?”.
13 Wel then, the Lord Yahweh says this: I am going to unleash a stormy wind in my fury, torrential rainin my anger, hailstones in my destructive fury,	13 Propterea haec dicit DominusDeus: Et erumpere faciam spiritum tempestatum in indignatione mea, et imberinundans in furore meo erit, et lapides grandinis in ira in consumptionem;
14 and I shal shatter the wal you plastered and knock it down and lay its foundations bare. It wil faland you wil perish under it; then you wil know that I am Yahweh."	14 etdestruam parietem, quem levistis calce, et adaequabo eum terrae, et revelabiturfundamentum eius, et cadet, et consumemini in medio eius et scietis quia ego sumDominus.
15 'When I have sated my anger on the wal and those who plastered it, I shall say to you, "The wal isgone, and so are those who plastered over it,	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 the prophets of Israel who prophesy about Jerusalem and have visions of peace for her when there isno peace -- declares the Lord Yahweh."	16 prophetaeIsrael, qui prophetant ad Ierusalem et vident ei visionem pacis, et non est pax,ait Dominus Deus.
17 'Also, son of man, turn to the women of your people who make up prophecies out of their own heads;prophesy against them.	17 Et tu, fili hominis, pone faciem tuam contra filias populi tui, quaeprophetant de corde suo, et vaticinare super eas
18 Say, "The Lord Yahweh says this: Disaster is in store for women who sew ribbons round each wristand make head-cloths for people of al sizes, in their hunt for souls! Are you to hunt the souls of my people andkeep your own souls safe?	18 et dic: Haec dicit DominusDeus: Vae, quae consuunt fascias pro omni articulo manus et faciunt velamina procapite omnis staturae ad capiendas animas! Numquid capietis animas de populo meoet vivificabitis animas vobis?
19 You dishonour me in front of my people for a few handfuls of barley, a few bits of bread, kil ing thosewho ought not to die and sparing those who ought not to live, lying to my people who love listening to lies.	19 Et violastis me ad populum meum pro pugillohordei et fragmento panis, ut interficeretis animas, quae mori non deberent, etvivificastis animas, quae non deberent vivere, mentientes populo meo credentimendaciis.
20 "Very wel , the Lord Yahweh says this: Look, I am now against your ribbons, with which you huntsouls like birds, and I shal tear them off your arms and free those souls whom you hunt like birds.	20 Propter hoc haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad fascias vestras, quibus voscapitis animas quasi volatilia, et disrumpam eas de brachiis vestris; etdimittam animas, quas vos cepistis, animas quasi volatilia,
21 I shal tear your head-cloths to pieces and rescue my people from your clutches; no longer wil theybe fair game for you to ensnare. Then you wil know that I am Yahweh.	21 et disrumpamvelamina vestra et liberabo populum meum de manu vestra, neque erunt ultra inmanibus vestris ad praedandum, et scietis quia ego Dominus.
22 "For having intimidated with lies the heart of the upright whom I had done nothing to alarm, and forhaving encouraged the wicked not to give up wicked ways and so be saved,	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,
23 very well, you wil have no more futile visions and make no more predictions, for I shal rescue mypeople from your clutches, and you will know that I am Yahweh." '	23 propterea vana non videbitis et divinationes non divinabitis amplius, et eruampopulum meum de manu vestra, et scietis quia ego Dominus ”.
