Ezequiel 8
Bible du Rabbinat (Zadoc Kahn)
1C'était dans la sixième année, le cinquième jour du sixième mois, j'étais assis dans ma maison et les anciens de Juda étaient assis en face de moi, quand s'abaissa là sur moi la main du Seigneur.
2Et je vis soudain une forme qui avait comme l'apparence d'un feu; depuis ce qui semblait ses reins jusqu'en bas. C'était du feu, et depuis ses reins jusqu'en haut, cela apparaissait comme une splendeur, comme une sorte de hachmal.
3Et elle étendit une forme de main et me saisit par les tresses de ma tête et un souffle m'emporta entre terre et ciel et m'amena à Jérusalem dans des visions divines, à l'entrée de la porte intérieure qui regarde vers le Nord, où est placée l'idole de la jalousie irritante.
4Et il y avait là la gloire du Dieu d'Israël pareille à l'apparition que j'avais vue dans la Plaine.
5Et il me dit: "Fils de l'homme, lève donc les yeux dans la direction du Nord;" je levai les yeux dans la direction du Nord, et voici que du côté du Nord, à la porte de l'autel, il y avait cette statue de la jalousie à l'entrée.
6Et il me dit: "Fils de l'homme, vois-tu ce qu'ils font, les grandes abominations que la maison d'Israël commet ici pour que je m'éloigne de mon sanctuaire? Et tu verras encore d'autres grandes abominations."
7Il me mena à l'entrée de la cour et je vis qu'il y avait un trou dans le mur.
8Et il me dit: "Fils de l'homme, creuse donc dans le mur," et je creusai dans le mur, et voici qu'il y avait une entrée.
9Et il me dit: "Entre et vois les exécrables abominations qu'ils commettent ici."
10J'entrai et je vis qu'il y avait toutes les formes de reptiles et d'animaux immondes, et toutes les idoles de la maison d'Israël gravées sur le mur, tout alentour.
11Et soixante-dix hommes des anciens de la maison d'Israël, avec Yaazania, fils de Schafan, debout parmi eux, se tenaient devant elles, chacun son encensoir à la main, et un épais nuage d'encens s'élevait.
12Et il me dit: "As-tu vu, fils de l'homme, ce que les anciens d'Israël font dans les ténèbres, chacun dans ses chambres d'images? Car, disent-ils, l'Eternel ne nous voit pas, l'Eternel a abandonné le pays!"
13Et il me dit: "Tu verras encore d'autres grandes abominations qu'ils commettent."
14Il me mena à l'entrée de la maison de l'Eternel qui regarde au nord, et voici que des femmes y étaient assises, pleurant le Tammouz.
15Et il me dit: "As-tu vu, fils de l'homme? Tu verras encore des abominations plus grandes que celles-là."
16Il me fit entrer dans la cour intérieure de la maison de l'Eternel, et voici qu'à l'entrée du sanctuaire de l'Eternel, entre le parvis et l'autel, il y avait quelque vingt-cinq hommes qui avaient le dos tourné au sanctuaire de l'Eternel et la face vers l'Orient, et ils se prosternaient vers l'Orient devant le soleil.
17Et il me dit: "As-tu vu, fils de l'homme? Est-ce trop peu de chose pour la maison de Juda de faire les abominations qu'ils ont faites ici, pour qu'ils remplissent le pays de violence et recommencent à m'irriter? Et voilà qu'ils portent les rameaux à leur nez.
18Et moi aussi j'agirai avec colère, mon oeil ne sera pas indulgent et je n'aurai pas pitié; ils crieront à mes oreilles à grand bruit mais je ne les écouterai point."
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.

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.”
