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.
El año sexto, el quinto día del mes sexto, cuando yo estaba sentado en mi casa y los ancianos de Judá sentados frente a mí, sucedió que la mano de ʼAdonay Yavé cayó allí sobre mí.
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 miré y vi una figura como de hombre. Desde su cintura hacia abajo era como de fuego, y desde su cintura hacia arriba era como un resplandor, como un metal refulgente.
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 como la forma de una mano y me tomó por un mechón de mi cabeza. El Espíritu me levantó entre la tierra y el cielo. En visiones de ʼElohim me llevó a Jerusalén, a la entrada del [patio] interno que mira hacia el norte, donde estaba puesto el ídolo de los celos, el cual provoca 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.
Vi que la gloria del ʼElohim de Israel estaba allí, conforme a la visión que yo tuve 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.
Y me dijo: Hijo de hombre, levanta ahora tus ojos hacia el norte. Y levanté mis ojos hacia el norte. Vi que en la entrada, al norte de la puerta del altar, estaba el ídolo de los celos.
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.”
Él me dijo: Hijo de hombre, ¿viste lo que ellos hacen? Son las grandes repugnancias que la Casa de Israel hace aquí para que Yo me aleje de mi Santuario. Pero aún verás repugnancias mayores.
7 Then he brought me to the entrance of the courtyard. I looked and saw a hole in the wall.
Entonces me llevó a la entrada del patio. Cuando miré, había un hueco 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.
Él me dijo: Hijo de hombre, perfora ahora el muro. Y cuando perforé el muro, 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 ve las perversas repugnancias que ellos cometen 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].
Así que entré y observé. Vi toda forma de reptiles y animales repugnantes, y todos los ídolos de la Casa de Israel pintados en todas las paredes alrededor.
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.
Delante de ellos estaban 70 ancianos de Israel en pie, con Jaazanías, hijo de Safán, en medio de ellos, cada uno con su incensario en la mano. Subía una espesa 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.’”
Y me dijo: Hijo de hombre, ¿Viste lo que los ancianos de la Casa de Israel hacen en la oscuridad, cada uno en la cámara de su ídolo? Porque dicen: Yavé no nos ve. Yavé abandonó la tierra.
13 He also said, “But you will see things that are even more detestable!”
Y me dijo: Verás repugnancias aún mayores que ellos cometen.
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.
Me llevó junto a la puerta norte de la Casa de Yavé, y vi allí mujeres sentadas que llevaban a Tamuz.
15 He said to me, “You human, you see this [RHQ], but you will see things that are more detestable than this!”
Luego me dijo: ¿Ves, hijo de hombre? ¡Pues aún verás mayores repugnancias 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.
Entonces me llevó al patio interno de la Casa de Yavé. Vi que entre el patio y el altar en la entrada de la Casa de Yavé estaban unos 25 varones con sus caras hacia el oriente, de espalda a la Casa de Yavé. Estaban postrados hacia el oriente, hacia el sol.
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]!
Y me dijo: ¿Ves, hijo de hombre? ¿Le parece poco a la Casa de Judá cometer las repugnancias que cometen aquí? Porque llenaron la tierra de violencia. Me provocan repetidamente. Míralos ahora cuando ponen la rama en sus fosas nasales.
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 tanto Yo también los trataré con furor. Mi ojo no tendrá compasión, ni perdonaré. Claman a gran voz a mis oídos, y no los escucho.
