Ezekiel 8
1 Now in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, when I was in my house and the responsible men of Judah were seated before me, the hand of the Lord came on me there.
Et factum est in anno sexto, in sexto mense, in quinta mensis: ego sedebam in domo mea, et senes Iuda sedebant coram me, et cecidit ibi super me manus Domini Dei.
2 And looking, I saw a form like fire; from the middle of his body and down there was fire: and up from the middle of his body a sort of shining, like electrum.
Et vidi, et ecce similitudo quasi aspectus ignis: ab aspectu lumborum eius, et deorsum, ignis: et a lumbis eius, et sursum, quasi aspectus splendoris, ut visio electri.
3 And he put out the form of a hand and took me by the hair of my head; and the wind, lifting me up between the earth and the heaven, took me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the way into the inner door facing to the north; where was the seat of the image of envy.
Et emissa similitudo manus apprehendit me in cincinno capitis mei: et elevavit me Spiritus inter terram, et cælum: et adduxit me in Ierusalem in visione Dei, iuxta ostium interius, quod respiciebat ad Aquilonem, ubi erat statutum idolum zeli ad provocandam æmulationem.
4 And I saw the glory of the Lord there, as in the vision which I saw in the valley.
Et ecce ibi gloria Dei Israel secundum visionem, quam videram in campo.
5 Then he said to me, Son of man, now let your eyes be lifted up in the direction of the north; and on looking in the direction of the north, to the north of the doorway of the altar, I saw this image of envy by the way in.
Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis, leva oculos tuos ad viam Aquilonis. Et levavi oculos meos ad viam Aquilonis: et ecce ab Aquilone portæ altaris idolum zeli in ipso introitu.
6 And he said to me, Son of man, do you see what they are doing? even the very disgusting things which the children of Israel are doing here, causing me to go far away from my holy place? but you will see other most disgusting things.
Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis, putasne, vides tu quid isti faciunt, abominationes magnas, quas domus Israel facit hic, ut procul recedam a sanctuario meo? Et adhuc conversus videbis abominationes maiores.
7 And he took me to the door of the open place; and looking, I saw a hole in the wall.
Et introduxit me ad ostium atrii: et vidi, et ecce foramen unum in pariete.
8 And he said to me, Son of man, make a hole in the wall: and after making a hole in the wall I saw a door.
Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis fode parietem. Et cum fodissem parietem, apparuit ostium unum.
9 And he said to me, Go in and see the evil and disgusting things which they are doing here.
Et dixit ad me: Ingredere, et vide abominationes pessimas, quas isti faciunt hic.
10 So I went in and saw; and there every sort of living thing which goes flat on the earth, and unclean beasts, and all the images of the children of Israel, were pictured round about on the wall.
Et ingressus vidi, et ecce omnis similitudo reptilium, et animalium, abominatio, et universa idola domus Israel depicta erant in pariete in circuitu per totum.
11 And before them seventy of the responsible men of the children of Israel had taken their places, every man with a vessel for burning perfumes in his hand, and in the middle of them was Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan; and a cloud of smoke went up from the burning perfume.
Et septuaginta viri de senioribus domus Israel, et Iezonias filius Saphan stabat in medio eorum, stantium ante picturas: et unusquisque habebat thuribulum in manu sua: et vapor nebulæ de thure consurgebat.
12 And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen what the responsible men of the children of Israel do in the dark, every man in his room of pictured images? for they say, The Lord does not see us; the Lord has gone away from the land.
Et dixit ad me: Certe vides fili hominis quæ seniores domus Israel faciunt in tenebris, unusquisque in abscondito cubiculi sui: dicunt enim: Non videt Dominus nos, dereliquit Dominus terram.
13 Then he said to me, You will see even more disgusting things which they do.
Et dixit ad me: Adhuc conversus videbis abominationes maiores, quas isti faciunt.
14 Then he took me to the door of the way into the Lord's house looking to the north; and there women were seated weeping for Tammuz.
Et introduxit me per ostium portæ domus Domini, quod respiciebat ad Aquilonem: et ecce ibi mulieres sedebant plangentes Adonidem.
15 Then he said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? you will see even more disgusting things than these.
Et dixit ad me: Certe vidisti fili hominis: adhuc conversus videbis abominationes maiores his.
16 And he took me into the inner square of the Lord's house, and at the door of the Temple of the Lord, between the covered way and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs turned to the Temple of the Lord and their faces turned to the east; and they were worshipping the sun, turning to the east.
Et introduxit me in atrium domus Domini interius: et ecce in ostio templi Domini inter vestibulum et altare, quasi viginti quinque viri dorsa habentes contra templum Domini, et facies ad Orientem: et adorabant ad ortum Solis.
17 Then he said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? is it a small thing to the children of Judah that they do the disgusting things which they are doing here? for they have made the land full of violent behaviour, making me angry again and again: and see, they put the branch to my nose.
Et dixit ad me: Certe vidisti fili hominis: numquid leve est hoc domui Iuda ut facerent abominationes istas, quas fecerunt hic: quia replentes terram iniquitate conversi sunt ad irritandum me? Et ecce applicant ramum ad nares suas.
18 For this reason I will let loose my wrath: my eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity.
Ergo et ego faciam in furore: non parcet oculus meus, nec miserebor: et cum clamaverint ad aures meas voce magna, non exaudiam eos.
