Ezequiel 8

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 El año sexto, el día cinco del sexto mes, estaba yo sentado en mi casa y los ancianos de Judá sentados ante mí, cuando se posó allí sobre mí la mano del Señor Yahveh.	1 And it happened that, in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth of the month, I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me, and the hand of the Lord God fell upon me there.
2 Miré: había allí una forma con aspecto de hombre. Desde lo que parecían ser sus caderas para abajo era de fuego, y desde sus caderas para arriba era algo como un resplandor, como el fulgor del electro.	2 And I saw, and behold, there was an image with the appearance of fire. From the appearance of his waist, and downward, there was fire. And from his waist, and upward, there was the appearance of splendor, like the sight of amber.
3 Alargó una especie de mano y me agarró por un mechón de mi cabeza; el espíritu me elevó entre el cielo y la tierra y me llevó a Jerusalén, en visiones divinas, a la entrada del pórtico interior que mira al norte, allí donde se alza el ídolo de los celos, que provoca los celos.	3 And as the image of a hand went out, it took hold of me by a lock of my head. And the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven. And he brought me into Jerusalem, within a vision of God, next to the inner gate that looked toward the north, where there was stationed an idol of rivalry, so as to provoke an envious emulation.
4 Y he aquí que la gloria del Dios de Israel estaba allí; tenía el aspecto de lo que yo había visto en la vega.	4 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, in accord with the vision that I had seen in the plain.
5 El me dijo: «Hijo de hombre, lévanta tus ojos hacia el norte». Levanté mis ojos hacia el norte y vi que al norte del pórtico del altar estaba este ídolo de los celos, a la entrada.	5 And he said to me: “Son of man, lift up your eyes to the way of the north.” And I lifted up my eyes to the way of the north. And behold, from the north of the gate of the altar was the idol of rivalry, at the same entrance.
6 Me dijo: «Hijo de hombre, ¿ves lo que hacen éstos, las grandes abominaciones que la casa de Israel comete aquí para alejarme de mi santuario? Todavía has de ver otras grandes abominaciones».	6 And he said to me: “Son of man, you see what these ones are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel is committing here. Do you not think, then, that I should withdraw far away from my own sanctuary? But if you turn again, you will see even greater abominations.”
7 Me llevó a la entrada del atrio. Yo miré: había un agujero en la pared.	7 And he led me in by the door of the atrium. And I saw, and behold, there was an opening in the wall.
8 Y me dijo: «Hijo de hombre, perfora la pared». Perforé la pared y se hizo una abertura.	8 And he said to me: “Son of man, dig in the wall.” And when I had dug in the wall, there appeared one door.
9 Y me dijo: «Entra y contempla las execrables abominaciones que éstos cometen ahí».	9 And he said to me: “Enter and see the most wicked abominations which they are committing here.”
10 Entré y observé: toda clase de representaciones de reptiles y animales repugnantes, y todas las basuras de la casa de Israel estaban grabados en la pared, todo alrededor.	10 And entering, I saw, and behold, every kind of image of reptiles and animals, the abominations, and all of the idols of the house of Israel were depicted on the wall all around, throughout the entire place.
11 Y setenta hombres, de los ancianos de la casa de Israel - uno de ellos era Yazanías, hijo de Safán -, estaban de pie delante de ellos cada uno con su incensario en la mano. Y el perfume de la nube de incienso subía.	11 And there were seventy men out of the elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan, standing in their midst, and they stood before the pictures. And each one had a censer in his hand. And a cloud of smoke rose up from the incense.
12 Me dijo entonces: «¿Has visto, hijo de hombre, lo que hacen en la oscuridad los ancianos de la casa de Israel, cada uno en su estancia adornada de pinturas? Están diciendo: “Yahveh no nos ve, Yahveh ha abandonado esta tierra.”»	12 And he said to me: “Certainly, son of man, you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each one while hidden in his chamber. For they say: ‘The Lord does not see us. The Lord has forsaken the earth.’ ”
13 Y me dijo: «Todavía les verás cometer otras grandes abominaciones».	13 And he said to me: “If you turn again, you will see even greater abominations, which these ones are committing.”
14 Me llevó a la entrada del pórtico de la Casa de Yahveh que mira al norte, y vi que allí estaban sentadas las mujeres, plañiendo a Tammuz.	14 And he led me in through the door of the gate of the Lord’s house, which looked toward the north. And behold, women were sitting there, mourning for Adonis.
15 Me dijo: «¿Has visto, hijo de hombre? Todavía verás abominaciones mayores que éstas».	15 And he said to me: “Certainly, son of man, you have seen. But if you turn again, you will see even greater abominations than these.”
16 Me condujo luego al atrio interior de la Casa de Yahveh. Y he aquí que a la entrada del santuario de Yahveh, entre el vestíbulo y el altar, había unos veinticinco hombres que, vuelta la espalda al santuario de Yahveh y la cara a oriente, se postraban en dirección a oriente hacia el sol.	16 And he led me into the inner atrium of the house of the Lord. And behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the vestibule and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east. And they were adoring toward the rising of the Sun.
17 Y me dijo: «¿Has visto, hijo de hombre? ¿Aún no le bastan a la casa de Judá las abominaciones que cometen aquí, para que llenen también la tierra de violencia y vuelvan a irritarme? Mira cómo se llevan el ramo a la nariz.	17 And he said to me: “Certainly, son of man, you have seen. Can this be so trivial to the house of Judah, when they commit these abominations, just as they have committed here, that, having filled the earth with iniquity, they now turn to provoke me? And behold, they are applying a branch to their nose.
18 Pues yo también he de obrar con furor; no tendré una mirada de piedad, no perdonaré. Con voz fuerte gritarán a mis oídos, pero yo no les escucharé.	18 Therefore, I also will act toward them in my fury. My eye will not be lenient, nor will I take pity. And when they will have cried out to my ears with a loud voice, I will not heed them.”
