Ezekiel 8:16 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Ndipo akanileta mpaka kwenye ukumbi wa ndani wa nyumba ya Bwana, nako huko katika ingilio la Hekalu, kati ya baraza na madhabahu, walikuwepo wanaume wapatao ishirini na watano. Wakiwa wamelipa kisogo Hekalu la Bwana na kuelekeza nyuso zao upande wa mashariki, wakilisujudia jua huko mashariki.
Ezekiel 8:16 in English
Ezekiel 8:16 · Berean Standard Bible
So He brought me to the inner court of the house of the LORD, and there at the entrance to the temple of the LORD, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east; and they were bowing to the east in worship of the sun.
Context
14Ndipo akanileta mpaka ingilio la lango la kaskazini la nyumba ya Bwana, nami nikaona wanawake wameketi hapo, wakimwombolezea Tamuzi. 15Akaniambia, “Unaliona hili, mwanadamu? Utaona vitu ambavyo ni machukizo kuliko hili.” 16Ndipo akanileta mpaka kwenye ukumbi wa ndani wa nyumba ya Bwana, nako huko katika ingilio la Hekalu, kati ya baraza na madhabahu, walikuwepo wanaume wapatao ishirini na watano. Wakiwa wamelipa kisogo Hekalu la Bwana na kuelekeza nyuso zao upande wa mashariki, wakilisujudia jua huko mashariki. 17Akaniambia, “Je, umeona hili mwanadamu? Je, ni jambo dogo sana kwa nyumba ya Yuda kufanya machukizo wanayoyafanya hapa? Je, ni lazima pia waijaze nchi dhuluma na kuendelea siku zote kunikasirisha? Watazame wanavyonibania pua kana kwamba ninanuka! 18Kwa hiyo nitashughulika nao kwa hasira, sitawaonea huruma wala kuwaachilia. Wajapopiga makelele masikioni mwangu, sitawasikiliza.”
