Ezekiel 8

1 In the sixth year, on the fifth day of the sixth month, I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me; and there the hand of the Lord GOD fell upon me.

At nangyari na sa ika-anim na taon at ika-anim na buwan sa ika-limang araw ng buwan, habang nakaupo ako sa aking bahay at nakaupo sa aking harapan ang mga nakatatanda ng Juda, ang kamay ng Panginoong Yahweh ay muling dumating sa akin doon.

2 Then I looked and saw a figure like that of a man. From His waist down His appearance was like fire, and from His waist up He was as bright as the gleam of amber.

Kaya tumingin ako, at pinagmasdan, mayroong larawan na tulad ng isang lalaki na may anyong tulad ng apoy mula sa kaniyang balakang pababa! At mayroong isang nagniningning na anyo na tulad ng kumikinang na metal mula sa kaniyang balakang pataas!

3 He stretched out what looked like a hand and took me by the hair of my head. Then the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and carried me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court, where the idol that provokes jealousy was seated.

At inabot niya ang hugis ng isang kamay at dinala ako sa pamamagitan ng buhok ng aking ulo; itinaas ako ng Espiritu sa pagitan ng lupa at langit at sa mga pangitain mula sa Diyos, dinala niya ako sa Jerusalem, sa pasukan ng pinakaloob ng hilagang tarangkahan, kung saan nakatayo ang diyus-diyosang pumupukaw ng matinding paninibugho.

4 And there I saw the glory of the God of Israel, like the vision I had seen in the plain.

At ang kaluwalhatian ng Diyos ng Israel ay naroon, na ang anyo ay tulad ng aking nakita sa kapatagan.

5 “Son of man,” He said to me, “now lift up your eyes to the north.” So I lifted up my eyes to the north, and in the entrance north of the Altar Gate I saw this idol of jealousy.

Pagkatapos, sinabi niya sa akin, “Anak ng tao, ibaling mo ang iyong mga mata sa hilaga.” Kaya ibinaling ko ang aking mga mata sa hilaga, at sa hilaga ng tarangkahan patungo sa altar, doon sa pasukan ay mayroong diyus-diyosan ng paninibugho.

6 “Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see what they are doing—the great abominations that the house of Israel is committing—to drive Me far from My sanctuary? Yet you will see even greater abominations.”

Kaya sinabi niya sa akin, “Anak ng tao, nakikita mo ba ang kanilang ginagawa? Ito ay malaking pagkasuklam na ginawa ng sambahayan ng Israel dito upang lumayo ako mula sa aking sariling santuwaryo! Ngunit lumingon ka at makakakita ng mas malalaking pagkasuklam!”

7 Then He brought me to the entrance to the court, and I looked and saw a hole in the wall.

At dinala niya ako sa pintuan ng patyo at tumingin ako, at mayroong isang butas sa pader.

8 “Son of man,” He told me, “dig through the wall.” So I dug through the wall and discovered a doorway.

Sinabi niya sa akin, “Anak ng tao, maghukay ka sa pader na ito.” Kaya naghukay ako sa pader at mayroong isang pintuan!

9 Then He said to me, “Go in and see the wicked abominations they are committing here.”

At sinabi niya sa akin “Pumasok ka at tingnan ang kasamaang kasuklam-suklam na kanilang ginagawa rito.”

10 So I went in and looked, and engraved all around the wall was every kind of crawling creature and detestable beast, along with all the idols of the house of Israel.

Kaya pumasok ako at tumingin, at hala! Mayroong ibat-ibang anyo mula sa mga gumagapang hanggang sa mga kamuhi-muhing hayop! Bawat diyus-diyosan ng sambahayan ng Israel ay iniukit sa pader sa palibot.

11 Before them stood seventy elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing among them. Each had a censer in his hand, and a fragrant cloud of incense was rising.

Pitumpung nakatatanda ng sambahayan ng Israel ang nandoon at sa kanilang kalagitnaan ay nakatayo si Jaasanias na anak na lalaki ni Safan. Nakatayo sila sa harapan ng mga imahen at ang bawat tao ay may pangsuub sa kaniyang kamay upang ang amoy ng ulap ng insenso ay pumaitaas.

12 “Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his own idol? For they are saying, ‘The LORD does not see us; the LORD has forsaken the land.’”

Pagkatapos, sinabi niya sa akin, “Anak ng tao, nakikita mo ba kung ano ang ginagawa sa dilim ng mga nakatatanda ng sambahayan ng Israel? Ginagawa ito ng bawat tao sa kaniyang nakatagong kamara kasama ng kaniyang diyus-diyosan, sapagkat sinasabi nila, ''Hindi kami nakikita ni Yahweh! Pinabayaan ni Yahweh ang lupain!”'

13 Again, He told me, “You will see them committing even greater abominations.”

At sinabi niya sa akin, “Lumingon ka muli at tingnan ang ibang mas malaking pagkasuklam na kanilang ginagawa.”

14 Then He brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of the LORD, and I saw women sitting there, weeping for Tammuz.

Ang sumunod, dinala niya ako sa pasukan ng tarangkahan ng tahanan ni Yahweh na naroon sa hilagang bahagi, at masdan ninyo! Ang mga kababaihang nakaupo roon ay nagluluksa para kay Tammuz. Kaya sinabi niya sa akin,

15 “Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see this? Yet you will see even greater abominations than these.”

“Nakikita mo ba ito, anak ng tao? “Lumingon ka muli at tingnan ang ibang mas malaking pagkasuklam kaysa sa mga ito.”

16 So He brought me to the inner court of the house of the LORD, and there at the entrance to the temple of the LORD, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east; and they were bowing to the east in worship of the sun.

At dinala niya ako sa loobang patyo sa tahanan ni Yahweh, at hala! Sa pasukan ng templo ni Yahweh sa pagitan ng portiko at ng altar, mayroong halos dalawampu't limang kalalakihan na nakatalikod sa templo ni Yahweh at ang kanilang mga mukha ay nakaharap sa silangan at sumasamba sila kay Shemesh.

17 “Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see this? Is it not enough for the house of Judah to commit the abominations they are practicing here, that they must also fill the land with violence and continually provoke Me to anger? Look, they are even putting the branch to their nose!

Sinabi niya sa akin, “Nakikita mo ba ito anak ng tao? Ito ba ay napakaliit na bagay para sa sambahayan ng Juda upang gawin ang mga nakasusuklam na ito na kanilang ginagawa rito? Sapagkat pinuno nila ang lupain ng karahasan at bumalik muli upang pukawin ang aking galit, naglalagay ng mga sanga sa kanilang mga ilong.

18 Therefore I will respond with wrath. I will not look on them with pity, nor will I spare them. Although they shout loudly in My ears, I will not listen to them.”

Kaya kikilos din ako sa kanila, hindi mahahabag ang aking mata sa kanila at hindi ko sila kaaawaan. Kahit tatawag sila sa aking mga tainga na may isang malakas na tinig, hindi ko sila diringgin!”
