< Ezekiel 8 >
1 And it comes to pass, in the sixth year, in the sixth [month], on the fifth of the month, I am sitting in my house, and [the] elderly of Judah are sitting before me, and there a hand of Lord YHWH falls on me,
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 I look, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of fire, from the appearance of His loins and downward—fire, and from His loins and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the color of 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 puts forth a form of a hand, and takes me by a lock of my head, and [the] Spirit lifts me up between the earth and the heavens, and brings me to Jerusalem in visions of God, to the opening of the inner gate that is facing the north, where the seat of the figure of jealousy [is] that is making jealous,
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 behold, there the glory of the God of Israel [is] as the appearance that I saw in the valley.
Et ecce ibi gloria Dei Israel secundum visionem, quam videram in campo.
5 And He says to me, “Son of man, now lift up your eyes [toward] the way of the north.” And I lift up my eyes [toward] the way of the north, and behold, on the north of the gate of the altar [is] this figure of jealousy, at the entrance.
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 says to me, “Son of man, are you seeing what they are doing? The great abominations that the house of Israel is doing here, to keep far off from My sanctuary; and turn again, [and] see great abominations.”
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 brings me to an opening of the court, and I look, and behold, a hole in the wall;
Et introduxit me ad ostium atrii: et vidi, et ecce foramen unum in pariete.
8 and He says to me, “Son of man, now dig through the wall”; and I dig through the wall, and behold, an opening.
Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis fode parietem. Et cum fodissem parietem, apparuit ostium unum.
9 And He says to me, “Go in, and see the evil abominations that they are doing here.”
Et dixit ad me: Ingredere, et vide abominationes pessimas, quas isti faciunt hic.
10 And I go in, and look, and behold, every form of creeping thing, and detestable beast—and all the idols of the house of Israel—carved on the wall, all around,
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 seventy men from [the] elderly of the house of Israel—and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing in their midst—are standing before them, and each [with] his censer in his hand, and [the] abundance of [the] cloud of the incense is going up.
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 says to me, “Have you seen, son of man, that which elderly of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each in [the] inner chambers of his imagery, for they are saying, YHWH is not seeing us, YHWH has forsaken 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 And He says to me, “Turn again, [and] see [the] great abominations that they are doing.”
Et dixit ad me: Adhuc conversus videbis abominationes maiores, quas isti faciunt.
14 And He brings me to the opening of the gate of the house of YHWH that [is] at the north, and behold, there the women are sitting, weeping for Tammuz.
Et introduxit me per ostium portæ domus Domini, quod respiciebat ad Aquilonem: et ecce ibi mulieres sedebant plangentes Adonidem.
15 And He says to me, “Have you seen, son of man? Turn again, [and] see greater abominations than these.”
Et dixit ad me: Certe vidisti fili hominis: adhuc conversus videbis abominationes maiores his.
16 And He brings me into the inner court of the house of YHWH, and behold, at the opening of the temple of YHWH, between the porch and the altar, about twenty-five men, their backs toward the temple of YHWH, and their faces eastward, and they are bowing themselves eastward to the sun.
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 And He says to me, “Have you seen, son of man? Has it been a light thing to the house of Judah to do the abomination that they have done here, that they have filled the land with violence, and turn back to provoke Me to anger? And behold, they are putting forth the branch to their 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 And I also deal in fury, My eye does not pity, nor do I spare, and they have cried [with] a loud voice in My ears and I do not hear them.”
Ergo et ego faciam in furore: non parcet oculus meus, nec miserebor: et cum clamaverint ad aures meas voce magna, non exaudiam eos.
