Ezekiel 8
1 On the fifth day of the sixth month [of that year], almost six years after we Israeli people had been (exiled/forced to go to Babylon), I was sitting in my house. The elders of Judah were sitting in front of me. Suddenly the power [MTY] of Yahweh the Lord came on me.
En el sexto año, en el sexto mes, en el quinto día del mes, estando yo sentado en mi casa, y los ancianos de Judá sentados delante de mí, la mano del Señor Yahvé cayó sobre mí allí.
2 [in a vision] I saw someone who resembled a man. Below his waist, [his body] was like fire, and above his waist [his body] was glowing like very hot metal.
Entonces vi, y he aquí una semejanza como apariencia de fuego: desde la apariencia de su cintura y hacia abajo, fuego, y desde su cintura y hacia arriba, como apariencia de resplandor, como si fuera metal resplandeciente.
3 He reached out what seemed to be a hand and grabbed me by the hair of my head. The Spirit lifted me up high above the earth, and in visions God took me [from Babylon] to Jerusalem. He took me [to the temple], to the north gate, to the place where there was an idol that caused Yahweh to be very disgusted and furious.
Extendió la forma de una mano y me tomó por un mechón de mi cabeza; y el Espíritu me elevó entre la tierra y el cielo, y me llevó en las visiones de Dios a Jerusalén, a la puerta del atrio interior que mira hacia el norte, donde estaba la sede de la imagen de los celos, que provoca a los celos.
4 And there in front of me was the brilliant light that indicated the presence of the God whom the Israeli [people previously worshiped. It was] like the vision that I had seen alongside the Kebar River/Canal.
He aquí que la gloria del Dios de Israel estaba allí, según la apariencia que vi en la llanura.
5 Yahweh said to me, “You human, look toward the north!” So I looked, and I saw in the entrance of the gate near the altar that idol that caused Yahweh to be disgusted and furious.
Entonces me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, levanta tus ojos ahora el camino hacia el norte”. Entonces levanté mis ojos hacia el norte, y vi, al norte de la puerta del altar, esta imagen de los celos en la entrada.
6 He said to me, “You human, do you see what those Israeli people [MTY] are doing? They are doing detestable things here, things that will cause me to abandon my temple. But you will see things that are even more detestable.”
Me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, ¿ves lo que hacen? ¿Las grandes abominaciones que la casa de Israel comete aquí, para que yo me aleje de mi santuario? Pero volverás a ver otras grandes abominaciones”.
7 Then he brought me to the entrance of the courtyard. I looked and saw a hole in the wall.
Me llevó a la puerta del patio; y cuando miré, he aquí un agujero en la pared.
8 He said to me, “You human, dig through the wall here.” So I dug through the wall, and I saw a doorway inside.
Entonces me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, cava ahora en la pared”. Cuando había cavado en la pared, vi una puerta.
9 He said to me, “Go in and see the wicked and detestable things that they are doing there!”
Me dijo: “Entra y mira las perversas abominaciones que hacen aquí”.
10 So I went in through the doorway and looked, and I saw, all over the [of a big room, drawings of] all kinds of creatures that scurry across the ground and [other] detestable animals, and drawings of all the idols that the people of [were worshiping].
Entré, pues, y miré, y vi toda clase de reptiles, animales abominables y todos los ídolos de la casa de Israel, representados alrededor de la pared.
11 In front of them stood 70 elders of Israel. Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan, was standing among them. Each of them was holding a pan in which incense was burning, and fragrant smoke of the burning incense was rising up.
Setenta hombres de los ancianos de la casa de Israel estaban delante de ellos. En medio de ellos estaba Jaazanías, hijo de Safán, cada uno con su incensario en la mano, y subía el olor de la nube de incienso.
12 Yahweh said to me, “You human, look at [RHQ] what the Israeli elders are doing here in the darkness, each of them standing in front of the shrine of his own idol! They are saying, ‘Yahweh does not see us; Yahweh has deserted this country.’”
Entonces me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, ¿has visto lo que hacen los ancianos de la casa de Israel en la oscuridad, cada uno en sus habitaciones de imágenes? Porque dicen: ‘Yahvé no nos ve. Yahvé ha abandonado la tierra’”.
13 He also said, “But you will see things that are even more detestable!”
También me dijo: “Volverás a ver más de las grandes abominaciones que hacen.”
14 Then he took me to the entrance at the north gate of the temple. I saw women sitting there, mourning for [the death of the god of the people of Babylonia], Tammuz.
Entonces me llevó a la puerta de la casa de Yahvé que estaba hacia el norte, y vi a las mujeres sentadas llorando por Tammuz.
15 He said to me, “You human, you see this [RHQ], but you will see things that are more detestable than this!”
Entonces me dijo: “¿Has visto esto, hijo de hombre? Volverás a ver abominaciones aún mayores que éstas”.
16 Then he took me into the courtyard outside the temple. There at the entrance of the temple, between the porch and the altar, were about 25 men. Their backs were toward the temple and their faces were toward the east, and they were bowing down to [worship] the sun [as it rose] in the east.
Me llevó al patio interior de la casa de Yahvé, y vi que a la puerta del templo de Yahvé, entre el pórtico y el altar, había unos veinticinco hombres de espaldas al templo de Yahvé y con el rostro hacia el oriente. Estaban adorando al sol hacia el este.
17 He said to me, “You human, you see [RHQ] what they are doing. [Do you think that] it is not important that these men of Judah are doing these detestable things here? [But they are doing other terrible things]. They are acting violently throughout their country, and continually causing me to be angry. Look at them! They are insulting me by their actions [IDM]!
Entonces me dijo: “¿Has visto esto, hijo de hombre? ¿Acaso es una cosa ligera para la casa de Judá que cometan las abominaciones que cometen aquí? Porque han llenado la tierra de violencia, y se han vuelto para provocarme a la ira. He aquí que se ponen la rama en la nariz.
18 So I will show them that I am very angry. I will not pity them or act mercifully toward them. And even if they shout to me [to help them], I will not pay attention to them.”
Por lo tanto, yo también actuaré con ira. Mi ojo no perdonará, ni tendré piedad. Aunque clamen a mis oídos con gran voz, no los escucharé”.
