Ezekiel 8
1 It happened in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the LORD fell there on me.
Nʼafọ nke isii, nʼọnwa nke isii, nʼụbọchị nke ise nke ọnwa ahụ, mgbe mụ onwe m nọdụ ala nʼụlọ m, ndị okenye Juda na-anọdụkwa ala nʼihu m, aka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị dịkwasịrị m nʼahụ nʼebe ahụ.
2 Then I saw, and look, a likeness as the appearance of a man; from the appearance of his waist and downward, fire; and from his waist and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as it were glowing metal.
Ahụrụ m oyiyi yiri mmadụ. Akụkụ oyiyi a nke dị site nʼụkwụ ya ruo nʼala ya na-acha dịka ọkụ, sitekwanụ nʼụkwụ ya rigoo, ọ na-egbu nnọọ amụma dịka nkume amba dị oke ọnụahịa.
3 He put forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and the sky, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner court that looks toward the north; where there was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy.
Oyiyi a setịpụrụ ihe dịka aka mmadụ, jiri ya jide m nʼagịrị isi m. Mgbe ahụ, Mmụọ nke Chineke buliri m elu nʼetiti ala na mbara eluigwe. Nʼime ọhụ nke Chineke, o buuru m jee Jerusalem, nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke dị nʼugwu, nʼime ogige ya, ebe arụsị ahụ na-akpasu ekworo guzo.
4 Look, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance that I saw in the plain.
Ma, lee, ebube Chineke Izrel jupụtara nʼebe ahụ, dị ka m si hụ ya na mbụ na ndagwurugwu.
5 Then he said to me, "Son of man, lift up your eyes now the way toward the north." So I lifted up my eyes the way toward the north, and see, northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, welie anya gị lee nʼụzọ nke ugwu.” Eweliri m anya m lee nʼụzọ ugwu, ma lee, nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata nʼime ebe ịchụ aja, ahụrụ m oyiyi arụsị ekworo ka o guzo nʼakụkụ ugwu ya.
6 He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what they do? Even the great abominations that the house of Israel do commit here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? But you shall again see yet other great abominations."
Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ị na-ahụ ihe ha na-eme, arụ dị egwu nke ụlọ Izrel na-eme nʼebe a, ihe ndị ga-achụpụ m nʼebe dị anya site nʼebe nsọ m? Ma ị ga-ahụkwa ihe arụ ndị dị ukwuu karịa ndị a.”
7 He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, look, a hole in the wall.
O mere ka m guzo nʼọnụ ụzọ ogige ahụ, mgbe m lere anya, ahụrụ m oghere dị nʼaja ụlọ ahụ.
8 Then he said to me, "Son of man, dig now in the wall": and when I had dug in the wall, look, a door.
Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ugbu a gwupuo aja ụlọ a.” Mgbe m gwupuru ya, ahụrụ m ọnụ ụzọ e si aba nʼebe ahụ.
9 He said to me, "Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do here."
Ọ sịrị m, “Banye nʼime ka ị hụ ihe arụ ọjọọ niile nke ha na-eme nʼebe a.”
10 So I went in and saw; and see, every form of crawling creatures, and abominable animals, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed around on the wall.
Abanyere m hụ na ihe jupụtara nʼahụ ụlọ ahụ bụ naanị oyiyi e sere ese, nke ihe na-akpụ akpụ dịka agwọ dị iche iche, ngwere na anụmanụ rụrụ arụ dị iche iche, tinyekwara arụsị niile nke ụlọ Izrel na-efe.
11 There stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel; and in their midst stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, every man with his censer in his hand; and the odor of the cloud of incense went up.
Nʼihu ihe ndị a, ka iri ndị okenye asaa nke ụlọ Izrel, ha na Jaazanaya nwa Shefan guzo nʼebe ahụ. Onye ọbụla nʼime ha ji ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nʼaka ya, anwụrụ ọkụ si nʼihe nsure ọkụ ndị a na-agbagokwa elu.
12 Then he said to me, "Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his rooms of imagery? For they say, 'The LORD doesn't see us. The LORD has forsaken the land.'"
Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ị hụla ihe ndị okenye ụlọ Izrel na-eme nʼọchịchịrị, onye ọbụla nʼime ụlọ ya nʼihu arụsị ya? Ma ha na-asị, ‘Onyenwe anyị adịghị ahụ anyị, O sitela nʼala anyị wezuga onwe ya.’”
13 He said also to me, "You shall again see yet other great abominations which they do."
Ọzọ, ọ sịrị m, “Ị ga-ahụkwa oke ihe arụ karịrị ndị a ha na-eme!”
14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD's house which was toward the north; and see, there sat the women weeping for Tammuz.
O mere ka m bịakwa nʼọnụ ụzọ ahụ dị nʼakụkụ ugwu nke ụlọnsọ nke Onyenwe anyị. Nʼebe ahụ, ahụrụ m ndị inyom nọ na-akwa akwa nʼihi Tamuz, chi ha.
15 Then he said to me, "Have you seen this, son of man? You shall again see yet greater abominations than these."
Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị m, “Ị hụla ihe ndị a, nwa nke mmadụ? Ị ga-ahụkwa ihe arụ ndị dị ukwuu karịa ndị a.”
16 He brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house; and see, at the door of the LORD's temple, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men, with their backs toward the LORD's temple, and their faces toward the east; and they were worshipping the sun toward the east.
O mere ka m baa nʼime ogige dị nʼime ụlọ ukwu nke Onyenwe anyị, nʼebe ahụ, nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọnsọ ukwu nke Onyenwe anyị, nʼagbata ebe ịchụ aja na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ahụ, ka ihe ruru iri mmadụ abụọ na ise guzo, chee ihu ha nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ na-efe anyanwụ. Ha gbakụtara ụlọnsọ ukwu nke Onyenwe anyị azụ mgbe ha na-eche ihu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ na-akpọ isiala nye anyanwụ.
17 Then he said to me, "Have you seen this, son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? For they have filled the land with violence, and have turned again to provoke me to anger: and look, they put the branch to their nose.
Ọ sịrị m, “Ị hụla nke a, nwa nke mmadụ? Ọ bụ ihe dị nta nye ụlọ Juda, bụ ime ihe arụ niile ndị a ha na-eme nʼebe a? Ha ga-ejikwa ihe ike mejupụta ala, siri otu a na-akpasu m iwe mgbe niile? Lee ka ha si nọgide na-akparị m, na-etinye alaka nʼimi ha.
18 therefore I will also deal in wrath; my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity; and though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them."
Nʼihi ya, aga m eme ka ha nụrụ ụfụ iwe m, ọ dịkwaghị onye m ga-ahapụ. Ọ bụrụkwa na ha anọgide na-ebe akwa nʼoke olu, agaghị m aṅa ha ntị.”
