Ezequiel 8

Diodati 1885

1POI avvenne, nell'anno sesto, nel quinto giorno del sesto mese, che sedendo io in casa mia, e sedendo gli anziani di Giuda in mia presenza, la mano del Signore Iddio cadde quivi sopra me.

2Ed io riguardai, ed ecco la sembianza d'un uomo simile in vista al fuoco; dall'apparenza de' lombi di esso in giù, vi era fuoco; e da' lombi in su, vi era come l'apparenza d'un grande splendore, simile al colore di fin rame scintillante.

3Ed egli stese una sembianza di mano, e mi prese per la chioma della mia testa; e lo Spirito mi levò fra cielo e terra, e mi menò in Gerusalemme, in visioni di Dio, all'entrata della porta di dentro, che guarda verso il Settentrione, dove era la cappella dell'idolo di gelosia, che provoca a gelosia.

4Ed ecco, quivi era la gloria dell'Iddio d'Israele, simile alla visione che io avea veduta nella campagna.

5Ed egli mi disse: Figliuol d'uomo, leva ora gli occhi tuoi verso il Settentrione. Ed io levai gli occhi miei verso il Settentrione; ed ecco, dal Settentrione, alla porta dell'altare, all'entrata, era quell'idolo di gelosia.

6Ed egli mi disse: Figliuol d'uomo, vedi tu ciò che costoro fanno? le grandi abbominazioni che la casa d'Israele commette qui; acciocchè io mi dilunghi dal mio santuario? ma pur di nuovo vedrai ancora altre grandi abbominazioni.

7Ed egli mi condusse all'entrata del cortile, ed io riguardai, ed ecco un buco nella parete.

8Ed egli mi disse: Figliuol d'uomo, fa' ora un foro in questa parete. Ed io feci un foro nella parete; ed ecco un uscio.

9Ed egli mi disse: Entra, e vedi le scellerate abbominazioni ch'essi commettono qui.

10Io dunque entrai, e riguardai; ed ecco delle figure di rettili, e d'animali d'ogni specie, cosa abbominevole; e tutti gl'idoli della casa d'Israele, ritratti in su la parete attorno attorno.

11E settant'uomini degli anziani della casa d'Israele, con Iaazania figliuolo di Safan, ch'era in piè per mezzo loro, stavano diritti davanti a quelli, avendo ciascuno il suo turibolo in mano, onde saliva una folta nuvola di profumo.

12Ed egli mi disse: Figliuol d'uomo, hai tu veduto ciò che gli anziani della casa d'Israele fanno in tenebre, ciascuno nella sua cappella d'immagini? perciocchè dicono: Il Signore non ci vede; il Signore ha abbandonato il paese.

13Poi mi disse: Tu vedrai ancora di nuovo altre grandi abbominazioni, che costoro commettono.

14Ed egli mi menò all'entrata della porta della Casa del Signore, che è verso il Settentrione; ed ecco, quivi sedavano delle donne che piangevano Tammuz.

15Ed egli mi disse: Figliuol d'uomo, hai tu veduto? ancor di nuovo vedrai abbominazioni maggiori di queste.

16Ed egli mi menò nel cortile di dentro della Casa del Signore; ed ecco, all'entrata del Tempio del Signore, fra il portico e l'altare, intorno a venticinque uomini, che aveano le spalle volte alla Casa del Signore, e le facce verso l'Oriente; e adoravano il sole, verso l'Oriente.

17Ed egli mi disse: Hai tu veduto, figliuol d'uomo? È egli cosa leggiera alla casa di Giuda di aver commesse le abbominazioni che hanno commesse qui, che hanno ancora ripieno il paese di violenza, e si son volti a dispettarmi? ma ecco, essi si cacciano il ramo nel volto a loro stessi.

18Io adunque altresì opererò in ira; l'occhio mio non perdonerà, ed io non risparmierò; benchè gridino ad alta voce a' miei orecchi, io non li ascolterò.

Reina-Valera 1909

1Y ACONTECIÓ en el sexto año, en el mes sexto, á los cinco del mes, que estaba yo sentado en mi casa, y los ancianos de Judá estaban sentados delante de mí, y allí cayó sobre mí la mano del Señor Jehová.

2Y miré, y he aquí una semejanza que parecía de fuego: desde donde parecían sus lomos para abajo, fuego; y desde sus lomos arriba parecía como resplandor, como la vista de ámbar.

3Y aquella semejanza extendió la mano, y tomóme por las guedejas de mi cabeza; y el espíritu me alzó entre el cielo y la tierra, y llevóme en visiones de Dios á Jerusalem, á la entrada de la puerta de adentro que mira hacia el aquilón, donde estaba la habitación de la imagen del celo, la que hacía celar.

4Y he aquí que allí estaba la gloria del Dios de Israel, como la visión que yo había visto en el campo.

5Y díjome: Hijo del hombre, alza ahora tus ojos hacia el lado del aquilón. Y alcé mis ojos hacia el lado del aquilón, y he aquí al aquilón, junto á la puerta del altar, la imagen del celo en la entrada.

6Díjome entonces: Hijo del hombre, ¿no ves lo que éstos hacen, las grandes abominaciones que la casa de Israel hace aquí, para alejarme de mi santuario? Mas vuélvete aún, y verás abominaciones mayores.

7Y llevóme á la entrada del atrio, y miré, y he aquí en la pared un agujero.

8Y díjome: Hijo del hombre, cava ahora en la pared. Y cavé en la pared, y he aquí una puerta.

9Díjome luego: Entra, y ve las malvadas abominaciones que éstos hacen allí.

10Entré pues, y miré, y he aquí imágenes de todas serpientes, y animales de abominación, y todos los ídolos de la casa de Israel, que estaban pintados en la pared alrededor.

11Y delante de ellos estaban setenta varones de los ancianos de la casa de Israel, y Jaazanías hijo de Saphán estaba en medio de ellos, cada uno con su incensario en su mano; y del sahumerio subía espesura de niebla.

12Y me dijo: Hijo del hombre, ¿has visto las cosas que los ancianos de la casa de Israel hacen en tinieblas, cada uno en sus cámaras pintadas? porque dicen ellos: No nos ve Jehová; Jehová ha dejado la tierra.

13Díjome después: Vuélvete aún, verás abominaciones mayores que hacen éstos.

14Y llevóme á la entrada de la puerta de la casa de Jehová, que está al aquilón; y he aquí mujeres que estaban allí sentadas endechando á Tammuz.

15Luego me dijo: ¿No ves, hijo del hombre? Vuélvete aún, verás abominaciones mayores que éstas.

16Y metióme en el atrio de adentro de la casa de Jehová: y he aquí junto á la entrada del templo de Jehová, entre la entrada y el altar, como veinticinco varones, sus espaldas vueltas al templo de Jehová y sus rostros al oriente, y encorvábanse al nacimiento del sol.

17Y díjome: ¿No has visto, hijo del hombre? ¿Es cosa liviana para la casa de Judá hacer las abominaciones que hacen aquí? Después que han llenado la tierra de maldad, y se tornaron á irritarme, he aquí que ponen hedor á mis narices.

18Pues también yo haré en mi furor; no perdonará mi ojo, ni tendré misericordia, y gritarán á mis oídos con gran voz, y no los oiré.

King James Version

1And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me.

2Then I beheld, and lo 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 colour of amber.

3And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine 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 looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.

4And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.

5Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.

6He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.

7And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.

8Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.

9And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.

10So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about.

11And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.

12Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou 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 seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.

13He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.

14Then 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.

15Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.

16And 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.

17Then he said unto me, Hast thou 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, lo, they put the branch to their nose.

18Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

World English Bible

1In 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.

2Then 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.

3He 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 toward the north, where there was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy.

4Behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance that I saw in the plain.

5Then he said 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 saw, northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.

6He 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.”

7He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall.

8Then he said to me, “Son of man, dig now in the wall.” When I had dug in the wall, I saw a door.

9He said to me, “Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do here.”

10So 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.

11Seventy 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.

12Then 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.’”

13He said also to me, “You will again see more of the great abominations which they do.”

14Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’s house which was toward the north; and I saw the women sit there weeping for Tammuz.

15Then he said to me, “Have you seen this, son of man? You will again see yet greater abominations than these.”

16He 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 toward the LORD’s temple and their faces toward the east. They were worshiping the sun toward the east.

17Then 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.

18Therefore 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.”
