Ezekiel 8

1 At nangyari na sa ika-anim na taon at ika-anim na buwan sa ika-limang araw ng buwan, habang nakaupo ako sa aking bahay at nakaupo sa aking harapan ang mga nakatatanda ng Juda, ang kamay ng Panginoong Yahweh ay muling dumating sa akin doon.

And it came to pass 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 GOD fell there on me.

2 Kaya tumingin ako, at pinagmasdan, mayroong larawan na tulad ng isang lalaki na may anyong tulad ng apoy mula sa kaniyang balakang pababa! At mayroong isang nagniningning na anyo na tulad ng kumikinang na metal mula sa kaniyang balakang pataas!

Then I beheld, and see a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the color of amber.

3 At inabot niya ang hugis ng isang kamay at dinala ako sa pamamagitan ng buhok ng aking ulo; itinaas ako ng Espiritu sa pagitan ng lupa at langit at sa mga pangitain mula sa Diyos, dinala niya ako sa Jerusalem, sa pasukan ng pinakaloob ng hilagang tarangkahan, kung saan nakatayo ang diyus-diyosang pumupukaw ng matinding paninibugho.

And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looks toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy.

4 At ang kaluwalhatian ng Diyos ng Israel ay naroon, na ang anyo ay tulad ng aking nakita sa kapatagan.

And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.

5 Pagkatapos, sinabi niya sa akin, “Anak ng tao, ibaling mo ang iyong mga mata sa hilaga.” Kaya ibinaling ko ang aking mga mata sa hilaga, at sa hilaga ng tarangkahan patungo sa altar, doon sa pasukan ay mayroong diyus-diyosan ng paninibugho.

Then said he 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 behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.

6 Kaya sinabi niya sa akin, “Anak ng tao, nakikita mo ba ang kanilang ginagawa? Ito ay malaking pagkasuklam na ginawa ng sambahayan ng Israel dito upang lumayo ako mula sa aking sariling santuwaryo! Ngunit lumingon ka at makakakita ng mas malalaking pagkasuklam!”

He said furthermore to me, Son of man, see you what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel commits here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn you yet again, and you shall see greater abominations.

7 At dinala niya ako sa pintuan ng patyo at tumingin ako, at mayroong isang butas sa pader.

And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.

8 Sinabi niya sa akin, “Anak ng tao, maghukay ka sa pader na ito.” Kaya naghukay ako sa pader at mayroong isang pintuan!

Then said he to me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had dig in the wall, behold a door.

9 At sinabi niya sa akin “Pumasok ka at tingnan ang kasamaang kasuklam-suklam na kanilang ginagawa rito.”

And he said to me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.

10 Kaya pumasok ako at tumingin, at hala! Mayroong ibat-ibang anyo mula sa mga gumagapang hanggang sa mga kamuhi-muhing hayop! Bawat diyus-diyosan ng sambahayan ng Israel ay iniukit sa pader sa palibot.

So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed on the wall round about.

11 Pitumpung nakatatanda ng sambahayan ng Israel ang nandoon at sa kanilang kalagitnaan ay nakatayo si Jaasanias na anak na lalaki ni Safan. Nakatayo sila sa harapan ng mga imahen at ang bawat tao ay may pangsuub sa kaniyang kamay upang ang amoy ng ulap ng insenso ay pumaitaas.

And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the middle of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.

12 Pagkatapos, sinabi niya sa akin, “Anak ng tao, nakikita mo ba kung ano ang ginagawa sa dilim ng mga nakatatanda ng sambahayan ng Israel? Ginagawa ito ng bawat tao sa kaniyang nakatagong kamara kasama ng kaniyang diyus-diyosan, sapagkat sinasabi nila, ''Hindi kami nakikita ni Yahweh! Pinabayaan ni Yahweh ang lupain!”'

Then said he to me, Son of man, have you seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, the LORD sees us not; the LORD has forsaken the earth.

13 At sinabi niya sa akin, “Lumingon ka muli at tingnan ang ibang mas malaking pagkasuklam na kanilang ginagawa.”

He said also to me, Turn you yet again, and you shall see greater abominations that they do.

14 Ang sumunod, dinala niya ako sa pasukan ng tarangkahan ng tahanan ni Yahweh na naroon sa hilagang bahagi, at masdan ninyo! Ang mga kababaihang nakaupo roon ay nagluluksa para kay Tammuz. Kaya sinabi niya sa akin,

Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.

15 “Nakikita mo ba ito, anak ng tao? “Lumingon ka muli at tingnan ang ibang mas malaking pagkasuklam kaysa sa mga ito.”

Then said he to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? turn you yet again, and you shall see greater abominations than these.

16 At dinala niya ako sa loobang patyo sa tahanan ni Yahweh, at hala! Sa pasukan ng templo ni Yahweh sa pagitan ng portiko at ng altar, mayroong halos dalawampu't limang kalalakihan na nakatalikod sa templo ni Yahweh at ang kanilang mga mukha ay nakaharap sa silangan at sumasamba sila kay Shemesh.

And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD’s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

17 Sinabi niya sa akin, “Nakikita mo ba ito anak ng tao? Ito ba ay napakaliit na bagay para sa sambahayan ng Juda upang gawin ang mga nakasusuklam na ito na kanilang ginagawa rito? Sapagkat pinuno nila ang lupain ng karahasan at bumalik muli upang pukawin ang aking galit, naglalagay ng mga sanga sa kanilang mga ilong.

Then he said to me, Have you seen this, O 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 returned to provoke me to anger: and, see, they put the branch to their nose.

18 Kaya kikilos din ako sa kanila, hindi mahahabag ang aking mata sa kanila at hindi ko sila kaaawaan. Kahit tatawag sila sa aking mga tainga na may isang malakas na tinig, hindi ko sila diringgin!”

Therefore will I also deal in fury: 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.
