Ezekiel 8
1 Ket napasamak iti maikalima nga aldaw ti maikanem a bulan iti maika-innem a tawen, bayat nga agtugtugawak iti uneg ti balayko, ken nakatugaw iti sangoanak dagiti panglakayen ti Juda, nga immay kaniak sadiay ti pannakabalin ni Yahweh nga Apo.
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, the Lord GOD’s hand fell on me there.
2 Ket kimmitaak, ket adtoy, adda maysa a langa a kaing-ingas ti tao, a kasla adda apuy manipud iti patongna nga agpababa! Ken manipud iti patongna nga agpangato ket adda agranraniag a kasla agbegbeggang a landok!
Then I saw, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of fire—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.
3 Ket adda kasla ima nga inggaw-atna ket ginammatanna ti buokko; impangatonak ti Espiritu iti nagbaetan ti langit ken daga, ket kadagiti sirmata manipud iti Dios, impannak idiay Jerusalem nga agturong iti pagserkan ti akin-uneg a ruangan iti amianan, a pagtaktakderan ti didiosen a mangparparnuay iti nakaro nga imun.
He stretched out 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 towards the north, where there was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy.
4 Ket adda sadiay ti dayag ti Dios ti Israel, a kalanglanga ti kas iti nakitak idi idiay patad.
Behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance that I saw in the plain.
5 Ket kinunana kaniak, “Anak ti tao, tumalliawka iti amianan.” Timmalliawak ngarud iti amianan, ket iti agpaamianan a ruangan nga agturong iti altar, sadiay pagserkan ket adda sadiay didiosen ti imun.
Then he said to me, “Son of man, lift up your eyes now the way towards the north.” So I lifted up my eyes the way towards the north, and saw, northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
6 Isu a kinunana kaniak, “Anak ti tao, makitam kadi ti ar-aramidenda? Dagitoy dagiti makarimon unay nga ar-aramiden ditoy ti balay ti Israel tapno adaywak ti bukodko a santuario! Ngem tumaliawka ket makitam dagiti nakarkaro pay a makarimon nga aramid!”
He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they do? Even the great abominations that the house of Israel commit here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? But you will again see yet other great abominations.”
7 Kalpasanna, impannak iti pagserkan a ruangan ti paraangan, ket kimmitaak, ket adda maysa nga abut iti pader.
He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall.
8 Kinunana kaniak, “Anak ti tao, palawaem ti abut daytoy a pader.” Pinalawak ngarud ti abut iti pader, ket adda nakitak a ruangan!
Then he said to me, “Son of man, dig now in the wall.” When I had dug in the wall, I saw a door.
9 Ket kinunana kaniak, “Umunegka ket kitaem dagiti agkakadakes a makarimon nga ar-aramidenda ditoy.”
He said to me, “Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do here.”
10 Simrekak ngarud ket nakitak, ket adtoy! Adda agduduma a kita dagiti agkarkarayam ken makarimon a narungsot nga ay-ayup! Naikitikit iti aglawlaw ti pader ti tunggal didiosen ti balay ti Israel.
So I went in and looked, and saw every form of creeping things, abominable animals, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed around on the wall.
11 Pitopulo a panglakayen iti balay ti Israel ti adda sadiay, ket agtaktakder iti tengngada ni Jaazanias a putot a lalaki ni Safan. Agtaktakderda iti sangoanan dagiti imahen, ken nakaiggem iti insensario ti tunggal tao isu a ti ayamuom ti asuk ti insenso ket nagpangato.
Seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel stood before them. In the middle of them Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan stood, every man with his censer in his hand; and the smell of the cloud of incense went up.
12 Ket kinunana kaniak, “Anak ti tao, makitam kadi ti ar-aramiden dagiti panglakayen iti balay ti Israel iti nasipnget? Ar-aramiden daytoy ti tunggal tao kadagiti nailemmeng a siled a nakaidulinan dagiti didiosenna, ta ibagbagada, 'Saannatayo a makita ni Yahweh! Binaybay-anen ni Yahweh ti daga!”'
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.’”
13 Ket kinunana kaniak, “Tumaliawka manen ket kitaem dagiti dadduma nga ad-adda pay a makarimon nga ar-aramidenda.”
He said also to me, “You will again see more of the great abominations which they do.”
14 Kalpasanna, impannak iti pagserkan ti ruangan iti balay ni Yahweh nga adda iti amianan a paset, ket adtoy! Agtugtugaw sadiay dagiti babbai nga agladladingit gapu kenni Tammuz.
Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’s house which was towards the north; and I saw the women sit there weeping for Tammuz.
15 Isu a kinunana kaniak, “Makitam kadi daytoy, anak ti tao? Tumaliawka manen ket makitam dagiti nakarkaro pay a makarimon nga aramid ngem kadagitoy.”
Then he said to me, “Have you seen this, son of man? You will again see yet greater abominations than these.”
16 Ket impannak iti akin-uneg a paraangan ti balay ni Yahweh, ket adtoy! Iti pagserkan ti templo ni Yahweh, iti nagbaetan ti portiko ken ti altar, adda agarup dua pulo ket lima a lallaki a nakatallikud iti templo ni Yahweh ken simmangoda iti daya, ket agdaydayawda kenni Semes.
He brought me into the inner court of the LORD’s house; and I saw at the door of the LORD’s temple, between the porch and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs towards the LORD’s temple and their faces towards the east. They were worshipping the sun towards the east.
17 Kinunana kaniak, “Anak ti tao, makitam kadi daytoy? Bassit kadi laeng a banag para iti balay ti Juda ti panangaramidda kadagitoy a makarimon nga ar-aramidenda ditoy? Ta pinunnoda ti daga iti kinaranggas, ket timallikudda manen tapno pagungetendak, inkabilda dagiti sangsanga kadagiti agongda.
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. Behold, they put the branch to their nose.
18 Isu a dusaekto met ida; saanakto a maasi kadakuada, ket saankonto ida nga ispalen. Uray ipangngegda kaniak ti napigsa a panagsangitda, saankonto ida a denggen!”
Therefore I will also deal in wrath. My eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity. Though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet I will not hear them.”
