Ezekiel 9

1 Eka ne awinjo koluongo gi dwol maduongʼ niya, “Kel jorito mag dala maduongʼ kae, ka moro ka moro nigi gir kedo lweny e lwete.”

Then he called in mine ears with a loud voice, saying: 'Cause ye them that have charge over the city to draw near, every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.'

2 Eka ne aneno ji auchiel kabiro koa yo rangach mamalo, ka moro ka moro kuomgi otingʼo gir lweny mager e lwete. Ne nitie ngʼato kodgi morwako law mayom mane otingʼo gir ndiko e bathe. Negidonjo mi gichungʼ e bath kendo mar misango mar nyinyo.

And, behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lieth toward the north, every man with his weapon of destruction in his hand; and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen, with a writer's inkhorn on his side. And they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.

3 To duongʼ mar Nyasaye mar Israel nodar oa ewi kerubi kama ne osebetie, mi ohuyo modhi obet ewi kama idonjogo ei hekalu. Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye noluongo ngʼat mane orwako law mayom-cha, mane otingʼo gir ndiko e bathe,

And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house; and He called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer's inkhorn on his side.

4 mi owachone niya, “Dhi e dala Jerusalem duto mondo iket kido e lela wangʼ joma okuyo kendo ma chunygi chandore kuom gik mamono mitimonigi.”

And the LORD said unto him: 'Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that are done in the midst thereof.'

5 Nowachone joma moko ka awinjo niya, “Luweuru kamoro amora modhiye e dalano kendo uneg ngʼato angʼata ma ok ukechogi kata ngʼwononegi.

And to the others He said in my hearing: 'Go ye through the city after him, and smite; let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity;

6 Neguru jomadongo gi jomatindo, jotich ma nyiri gi ma yawuowi, mon kod nyithindo, to kik umul ngʼato angʼata man-gi kido e lela wangʼe. Chakuru timo kamano e kara maler mar lemo.” Kuom mano negichako gi jodongo mane ni e nyim hekalu.

slay utterly the old man, the young man and the maiden, and little children and women; but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary.' Then they began at the elders that were before the house.

7 Eka nowachonegi niya, “Dhiuru mondo udwany hekalu kendo pongʼuru laru mage gi ringre joma onegi. Dhiuru!” Omiyo ne giwuok mi gidhi kendo negichako nego ji e dalano duto.

And He said unto them: 'Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain; go ye forth.' And they went forth, and smote in the city.

8 E kinde mane gineko, kane adongʼ kenda, ne apodho piny auma, mi aywagora niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, bende dineg mitiek pep oganda jo-Israel manok modongʼ e thuolo miolee mirimbi kuom Jerusalem?”

And it came to pass, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said: 'Ah Lord GOD! wilt Thou destroy all the residue of Israel in Thy pouring out of Thy fury upon Jerusalem?'

9 Nodwoka niya, “Richo mar dhood Israel gi dhood Juda duongʼ mokalo apima; piny opongʼ gi remo michwero kendo dala maduongʼ opongʼ gi timbe mobam. Giwacho ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye osejwangʼo piny kendo; Jehova Nyasaye ok ne gik matimore.’

Then said He unto me: 'The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of wresting of judgment; for they say: The LORD hath forsaken the land, and the LORD seeth not.

10 Omiyo ok abi kechogi kata ngʼwononigi ma ok akumogi, to abiro kumogi kuom gik magisetimo.”

And as for Me also, Mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way upon their head.'

11 Bangʼe ngʼat mane orwako law mayom-cha mane otingʼo gir ndiko e bathe noduogo wach kawacho niya, “Asetimo kaka ne ichiko.”

And, behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn on his side, reported, saying: 'I have done according to all that Thou hast commanded me.'
