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, on the fifth day of the month, that I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me; and there fell upon me there the inspiration of the Lord Eternal.

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!

And I saw, and, behold, there was a likeness similar to the appearance of fire; from the appearance of his loins downward, it was fire; and from his loins upward, it was similar to the appearance of a bright light, like the glitter 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 stretched forth the form of a hand, and took me by the locks of my head; and a spirit bore me between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north, where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to wrath.

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

And, behold, there was the glory of the God of Israel, like the appearance which I had seen in the valley.

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.

And he said unto me, Son of man, do but lift up thy eyes in the direction toward the north. So I lifted up my eyes in the direction toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar [there was] this image of jealousy at the entrance.

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!”

Then said he unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they are doing? great abominations are they that the house of Israel commit here, to make me go far away from my sanctuary; but thou shalt yet see still other great 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 I looked, and behold there was 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 unto me, Son of man, do break [an opening] in the wall: and I broke [an opening] in the wall, and, behold, there was a door.

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

And he said unto me, Go in, and see the wicked abominations which they are doing 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 there was every form of creeping things, and cattle, abominations, and all the idols of the house of Israel, engraven upon the wall all 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 seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and Yaazanyahu the son of Shaphan standing in the midst of them, were standing before them, and every man had his censer in his hand; and a thick curling cloud of incense was ascending upward.

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 unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the dark, every man in his image-chambers? for they say, The Lord seeth us not: the Lord hath forsaken the earth.

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

And he said unto me, Thou shalt yet again see still other great abominations that they are doing.

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,

And he brought me to the entrance of the gate of the Lord's house which was on the north side: and, behold, there sat the women weeping for Thammuz.

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 unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Thou shalt yet again see still other 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 were prostrating themselves eastward to the sun.

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 said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it too light a thing for the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and they constantly repeat to provoke me to anger; and, lo, they stretch forth 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 I also will deal in fury; my eye shall not look with pity, and I will not spare: and though they call before my ears with a loud voice, will I still not hear them.
