1 So it came about in the sixth year and 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 Yahweh again fell upon me there.
1 Y 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.
2 So I looked, and behold, there was a likeness with the appearance of a man. From the appearance of his hips downward there was fire. And from his hips upward there was the appearance of something shining, like glowing metal.
2 Y 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.
3 Then he reached out the form of a hand and took me by the hair of my head; the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and in visions from God, he brought me to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the inner northern gate, where the idol that provokes great jealousy was standing.
3 Y 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.
4 Then behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision I had seen on the plain.
4 Y he aquí que allí estaba la gloria del Dios de Israel, como la visión que yo había visto en el campo.
5 Then he said to me, “Son of man, lift up your eyes to the north.” So I lifted up my eyes to the north, and to the north of the gate leading to the altar, there in the entrance, was the idol of jealousy.
5 Y 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.
6 So he said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they are doing? These are great abominations that the house of Israel is doing here to make me go far from my own sanctuary. But you will turn and see even greater abominations.”
6 Díjome 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.
7 Then he brought me to the doorway of the courtyard, and I looked, and there was a hole in the wall.
7 Y llevóme á la entrada del atrio, y miré, y he aquí en la pared un agujero.
8 He said to me, “Son of man, dig into this wall.” So I dug into the wall, and there was a door.
8 Y díjome: Hijo del hombre, cava ahora en la pared. Y cavé en la pared, y he aquí una puerta.
9 Then he said to me, “Go and see the wicked abominations that they are doing here.”
9 Díjome luego: Entra, y ve las malvadas abominaciones que éstos hacen allí.
10 So I went in and looked, and behold! There was every form of creeping thing and detestable beast! Every idol of the house of Israel was carved into the wall all around.
10 Entré 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.
11 Seventy elders of the house of Israel were there, and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan was standing in their midst. They were standing in front of the images, and each man had his censer in his hand so that the smell of the cloud of incense went up.
11 Y 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.
12 He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the dark? Each one does this in the hidden chamber of his idol, for they say, 'Yahweh does not see us! Yahweh has forsaken the land.'”
12 Y 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.
13 Then he said to me, “Turn again and see the other great abominations that they are doing.”
13 Díjome después: Vuélvete aún, verás abominaciones mayores que hacen éstos.
14 Next he brought me to the entrance of the gate of Yahweh's house that was on the north side, and behold! The women were sitting there mourning for Tammuz.
14 Y 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.
15 So he said to me, “Do you see this, son of man? Turn again and see even greater abominations than these.”
15 Luego me dijo: ¿No ves, hijo del hombre? Vuélvete aún, verás abominaciones mayores que éstas.
16 He brought me into the inner courtyard of Yahweh's house, and behold! at the entrance of the temple of Yahweh between the portico and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of Yahweh and their faces toward the east, and they were worshiping the sun.
16 Y 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.
17 He said to me, “Do you see this, son of man? Is it a little thing for the house of Judah to do these abominations that they are doing here? For they have filled the land with violence and they have turned again to provoke me to anger, putting the branch to their noses.
17 Y 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.
18 So I will also act among them; my eye will not have compassion, and I will not spare them. Though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them.”
18 Pues 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.
