Wikipedia EN

In religion, a false prophet is one who falsely claims the gift of prophecy or divine inspiration, or who uses that gift for evil ends. Often, someone who is considered a "true prophet" by some people is simultaneously considered a "false prophet" by others, even within the same religion as the "prophet" in question. The term is sometimes applied outside religion to describe someone who fervently promotes a theory that the speaker thinks is false.

Wikipedia IT

Falso profeta è un titolo che si dà ad una persona che illegittimamente si proclama detentrice di particolari conoscenze o messaggi divini. Il termine è a volte applicato al di fuori della religione per descrivere qualcuno che promuove fervorosamente una teoria che altri considerano falsa.

Wikipedia ES

Un falso profeta es aquel individuo que ilegítimamente finge cualidades de profecía o se proclama poseedor o receptor de determinados dones divinos, sin realmente poseerlos. Se usa de modo especial en la religión judeocristiana para referirse a impostores que ejercen un ministerio religioso que está contaminado por la falsedad y malicia de la apostasía y la hipocresía.

Αυτός που ψεύδεται για μια υποτιθέμενη έμπνευσή του από τον Θεό. Αυτός που προλέγει κάτι και διαψεύδεται, είτε εξ ιδίας προέλευσης, είτε δήθεν εκ Θεού. Σε όλη την Βιβλική περίοδο —τόσο κατά τη χριστιανική εποχή όσο και πριν από αυτή— καταγράφεται ότι υπήρχαν ψευδοπροφήτες σε αντιπαράθεση με τους προφήτες που απέδιδαν την προέλευση των προφητικών λόγων τους στον αληθινό Θεό.
