Ezekiel 9
1 Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause ye those who have charge over the city to draw near, each man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
Et clamavit in auribus meis voce magna, dicens: Appropinquaverunt visitationes urbis, et unusquisque vas interfectionis habet in manu sua.
2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lies toward the north, each man with his slaughter weapon in his hand, and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen, with a writer's case by his side. And they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.
Et ecce sex viri veniebant de via portæ superioris, quæ respicit ad Aquilonem: et uniuscuiusque vas interitus in manu eius: vir quoque unus in medio eorum vestitus erat lineis, et atramentarium scriptoris ad renes eius: et ingressi sunt, et steterunt iuxta altare æreum:
3 And the glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub, upon which it was, to the threshold of the house, and he called to the man clothed in linen who had the writer's case by his side.
Et gloria Domini Israel assumpta est de cherub, quæ erat super eum ad limen domus: et vocavit virum, qui indutus erat lineis, et atramentarium scriptoris habebat in lumbis suis.
4 And Jehovah said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men who sigh and who cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst of it.
Et dixit Dominus ad eum: Transi per mediam civitatem in medio Ierusalem: et signa thau super frontes virorum gementium, et dolentium super cunctis abominationibus, quæ fiunt in medio eius.
5 And to the others he said in my hearing, Go ye through the city after him, and smite. Let not your eye spare, nor have ye pity.
Et illis dixit, audiente me: Transite per civitatem sequentes eum, et percutite: non parcat oculus vester, neque misereamini.
6 Kill utterly the old man, the young man, and the virgin, and little sons, and women, but come not near any man upon whom is the mark. And begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men who were before the house.
Senem, adolescentulum, et virginem, parvulum, et mulieres interficite usque ad internecionem: omnem autem, super quem videritis thau, ne occidatis, et a sanctuario meo incipite. Cœperunt ergo a viris senioribus, qui erant ante faciem domus.
7 And he said to them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go ye forth. And they went forth, and smote in the city.
Et dixit ad eos: Contaminate domum, et implete atria interfectis: egredimini. Et egressi sunt, et percutiebant eos, qui erant in civitate.
8 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 Jehovah! Will thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy wrath upon Jerusalem?
Et cæde completa, remansi ego: ruique super faciem meam, et clamans aio: Heu, heu, heu Domine Deus: ergone disperdes omnes reliquias Israel, effundens furorem tuum super Ierusalem?
9 Then he said to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness. For they say, Jehovah has forsaken the land, and Jehovah does not see.
Et dixit ad me: Iniquitas domus Israel, et Iuda, magna est nimis valde, et repleta est terra sanguinibus, et civitas repleta est aversione: dixerunt enim: Dereliquit Dominus terram, et Dominus non videt.
10 And as for me also, my eye shall not spare, nor will I have pity, but I will bring their way upon their head.
Igitur et meus non parcet oculus, neque miserebor: viam eorum super caput eorum reddam.
11 And, behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the writing case by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou have commanded me.
Et ecce vir, qui erat indutus lineis, qui habebat atramentarium in dorso suo, respondit verbum, dicens: Feci sicut præcepisti mihi.
