Hezekiel 8

¹Altıncı yılda, beşinci ayın beşinci gününde, ben evimde otururken ve Yahuda'nın ileri gelenleri önümde oturmaktayken, Rab'bin gücü üzerime egemen oldu.

²Baktım ve işte, bir erkek görünümünde bir benzerlik gördüm; belinden aşağısı ateş gibiydi, belinden yukarısı ise parıldayan elektrum görünümündeydi.

³El benzeri bir şey uzatıp beni başımın tepesinden yakaladı; Ruh beni yerle gök arasına kaldırdı ve Tanrı'nın görümünde Yeruşalim'e, kuzeye bakan iç kapının girişine götürdü; orada kıskançlık uyandıran putun dikili taşı bulunuyordu.

⁴Ve işte, ovada görmüş olduğum görümdeki gibi, İsrail'in Tanrısı Rab'bin görkemi oradaydı.

⁵Bana, "Ey insanoğlu, gözlerini kuzeye doğru kaldır" dedi. Gözlerimi kuzeye doğru kaldırdım ve işte, kuzey tarafında, doğuya bakan kapıya doğru baktım.

⁶Bana, "Ey insanoğlu, bunların ne yaptığını görüyor musun?" dedi, "Kutsal şeylerimden uzaklaşılması için burada büyük yasasızlıklar yapıyorlar; ama daha da büyük yasasızlıklar göreceksin."

⁷Beni avlunun giriş eşiğine götürdü.

⁸Bana, "Ey insanoğlu, duvarı kaz" dedi; kazdım ve işte, tek bir kapı vardı.

⁹Bana, "İçeri gir ve onların burada yapmakta oldukları yasasızlıkları gör" dedi.

¹⁰İçeri girip baktım; ve işte, her türlü boş iğrençlikler ve İsrail soyunun bütün putları çepeçevre duvarın üzerine kazınmıştı.

¹¹İsrail soyunun ileri gelenlerinden yetmiş kişi ve onların ortasında Şafan oğlu Yezonias önlerinde duruyordu; her birinin elinde kendi buhurdanı vardı ve buhurun buğusu yükseliyordu.

¹²Bana, "Ey insanoğlu, İsrail soyunun ileri gelenlerinin her birinin kendi gizli odasında ne yaptığını gördün mü?" dedi, "Çünkü 'Rab bizi görmüyor, Rab ülkeyi terk etti' diyorlar."

¹³Bana, "Bunların yapmakta olduğu daha da büyük yasasızlıkları göreceksin" dedi.

¹⁴Beni Rab'bin evinin kuzeye bakan kapısının girişine götürdü; ve işte, orada oturup Tammuz için ağıt yakan kadınlar vardı.

¹⁵Bana, "Gördün mü, ey insanoğlu?" dedi, "Bundan daha da büyük putperest uygulamalar göreceksin."

¹⁶Beni Rab'bin evinin iç avlusuna götürdü; ve işte, Rab'bin tapınağının girişinde, eyvanlar ile sunak arasında, yaklaşık yirmi adam vardı; arkalarını Rab'bin tapınağına dönmüşlerdi, yüzleri ise karşıya bakıyordu ve güneşe tapınıyorlardı.

¹⁷Bana, "Gördün mü, ey insanoğlu?" dedi, "Burada yaptıkları yasasızlıkları yapmak Yahuda soyu için önemsiz bir şey mi ki, ülkeyi yasasızlıkla doldurdular? İşte, onlar Tanrı'yı küçümseyip alay edenler gibidir.

¹⁸Bu yüzden ben de onlara gazapla muamele edeceğim; gözüm onlara acımayacak ve asla merhamet etmeyeceğim."

¹ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἕκτῳ ἔτει ἐν τῷ πέμπτῳ μηνί, πέμπτῃ τοῦ μηνός, ἐγὼ ἐκαθήμην ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ, καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ᾿Ιούδα ἐκάθηντο ἐνώπιόν μου, καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ χεὶρ Κυρίου,

²καὶ εἶδον καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁμοίωμα ἀνδρός, ἀπὸ τῆς ὀσφύος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἕως κάτω πῦρ, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ὀσφύος αὐτοῦ ὑπεράνω αὐτοῦ ὡς ὅρασις ἠλέκτρου.

³καὶ ἐξέτεινεν ὁμοίωμα χειρὸς καὶ ἀνέλαβέ με τῆς κορυφῆς μου καὶ ἀνέλαβέ με πνεῦμα ἀναμέσον τῆς γῆς καὶ ἀναμέσον τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἤγαγέ με εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ἐν ὁράσει Θεοῦ ἐπὶ τὰ πρόθυρα τῆς πύλης τῆς ἐσωτέρας τῆς βλεπούσης εἰς βορρᾶν, οὗ ἦν ἡ στήλη τοῦ κτωμένου.

⁴καὶ ἰδού, ἦν ἐκεῖ δόξα Κυρίου Θεοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ κατὰ τὴν ὅρασιν, ἣν εἶδον ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ.

⁵καὶ εἶπε πρός με· υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἀνάβλεψον τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου πρὸς βορρᾶν· καὶ ἀνέβλεψα τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς μου πρὸς βορρᾶν, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀπὸ βορρᾶ ἐπὶ τὴν πύλην τὴν πρὸς ἀνατολάς.

⁶καὶ εἶπε πρός με· υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἑώρακας τί οὗτοι ποιοῦσιν; ἀνομίας μεγάλας ποιοῦσιν ὧδε τοῦ ἀπέχεσθαι ἀπὸ τῶν ἁγίων μου, καὶ ἔτι ὄψει ἀνομίας μείζονας.

⁷καὶ εἰσήγαγέ με ἐπὶ τὰ πρόθυρα τῆς αὐλῆς

⁸καὶ εἶπε πρός με· υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ὄρυξον· καὶ ὤρυξα, καὶ ἰδοὺ θύρα μία.

⁹καὶ εἶπε πρός με· εἴσελθε καὶ ἰδὲ τάς ἀνομίας, ἃς οὗτοι ποιοῦσιν ὧδε.

¹⁰καὶ εἰσῆλθον καὶ εἶδον καὶ ἰδοὺ μάταια βδελύγματα καὶ πάντα τὰ εἴδωλα οἴκου ᾿Ισραὴλ διαγεγραμμένα ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῦ κύκλῳ,

¹¹καὶ ἑβδομήκοντα ἄνδρες ἐκ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων οἴκου ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ᾿Ιεζονίας ὁ τοῦ Σαφὰν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν εἱστήκει πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, καὶ ἕκαστος θυμιατήριον αὐτοῦ εἶχεν ἐν τῇ χειρί, καὶ ἡ ἀτμὶς τοῦ θυμιάματος ἀνέβαινε.

¹²καὶ εἶπε πρός με· ἑώρακας, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἃ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι οἴκου ᾿Ισραὴλ ποιοῦσιν, ἕκαστος αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ κοιτῶνι τῷ κρυπτῷ αὐτῶν; διότι εἶπαν· οὐχ ὁρᾷ ὁ Κύριος, ἐγκαταλέλοιπε Κύριος τὴν γῆν.

¹³καὶ εἶπε πρός με· ἔτι ὄψει ἀνομίας μείζονας, ἃς οὗτοι ποιοῦσι.

¹⁴καὶ εἰσήγαγέ με ἐπὶ τὰ πρόθυρα τῆς πύλης οἴκου Κυρίου τῆς βλεπούσης πρὸς βορρᾶν, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ γυναῖκες καθήμεναι θρηνοῦσαι τὸν Θαμμούζ,

¹⁵καὶ εἶπε πρός με· υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἑώρακας; καὶ ἔτι ὄψει ἐπιτηδεύματα μείζονα τούτων.

¹⁶καὶ εἰσήγαγέ με εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν οἴκου Κυρίου τὴν ἐσωτέραν, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐπὶ τῶν προθύρων τοῦ ναοῦ Κυρίου ἀναμέσον τῶν αἰλὰμ καὶ ἀναμέσον τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου ὡς εἴκοσι ἄνδρες, τὰ ὀπίσθια αὐτῶν πρὸς τὸν ναὸν τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ἀπέναντι, καὶ οὗτοι προσκυνοῦσι τῷ ἡλίῳ·

¹⁷καὶ εἶπε πρός με· ἑώρακας, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου; μὴ μικρὰ τῷ οἴκῳ ᾿Ιούδα τοῦ ποιεῖν τὰς ἀνομίας, ἃς πεποιήκασιν ὧδε; διότι ἔπλησαν τὴν γῆν ἀνομίας, καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτοὶ ὡς μυκτηρίζοντες.

¹⁸καὶ ἐγὼ ποιήσω αὐτοῖς μετὰ θυμοῦ· οὐ φείσεται ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου, οὐδὲ μὴ ἐλεήσω.

¹And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the fifth month, on the fifth [day] of the month, I was sitting in the house, and the elders of Juda were sitting before me: and the hand of the Lord came upon me.

²And I looked, and, behold, the likeness of a man: from his loins and downwards [there was] fire, and from his loins upwards [there was] as the appearance of amber.

³And he stretched forth the likeness of a hand, and took me by the crown of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and sky, and brought me to Jerusalem in a vision of God, to the porch of the gate that looks to the north, where was the pillar of the Purchaser.

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

⁵And he said to me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes toward the north, and, behold, [I looked] from the north toward the eastern gate.

⁶And he said to me, Son of man, hast thou seen what these do? They commit great abominations here so that I should keep away from my sanctuary: and thou shalt see yet greater iniquities.

⁷And he brought me to the porch of the court.

⁸And he said to me, Son of man, dig: so I dug, and behold a door.

⁹And he said to me, Go in, and behold the iniquities which they practise here.

¹⁰So I went in and looked; and beheld vain abominations, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon them round about.

¹¹And seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and Jechonias the son of Saphan stood in their presence in the midst of them, and each one held his censer in his hand; and the smoke of the incense went up.

¹²And he said to me, Thou hast seen, son of man, what the elders of the house of Israel do, each one of them in their secret chamber: because they have said, The Lord sees not; The Lord has forsaken the earth.

¹³And he said to me, Thou shalt see yet greater iniquities which these do.

¹⁴And he brought me in to the porch of the house of the Lord that looks to the north; and, behold [there were] women sitting there lamenting for Thammuz.

¹⁵And he said to me, Son of man, thou hast seen; but thou shalt yet see [evil] practices greater then these.

¹⁶And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord, and at the entrance of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty men, with their back parts toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces [turned] the opposite way; and these were worshipping the sun.

¹⁷And he said to me, Son of man, thou hast seen this. [Is it] a little thing to the house of Juda to practise the iniquities which they have practised here? for they have filled the land with iniquity: and, behold, these are as scorners.

¹⁸Therefore will I deal with them in wrath: mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy.
