< Ezekiel 9 >

1 And he cried out in my ears with a loud voice, saying: “The visitations of the city have drawn near, and each one has equipment for killing in his hand.”
Aa le napaza’e am-piarañanañañe an-tsofiko ao ty hoe, Ampombao mb’etoy o mpifehe’ ty rova toio, songa minday fialiañe mpijoy am-pità’e.
2 And behold, six men were approaching from the way of the upper gate, which looks to the north. And each one had equipment for killing in his hand. Also, one man in their midst was clothed with linen, and an instrument for writing was at his waist. And they entered and stood beside the bronze altar.
Le ingo te nimb’ etoy ty lahilahy eneñe boak’ amy lalambey ambone mitolike mañavaratsey, songa indaty ninday fialiam-panjamanañe am-pità’e, ty raike nisikin-damba leny reketse tsifan-drano-mainte añ’ila’e eo; aa le nimoak’ ao iereo nijohañe marine’ i kitrely torisìkey eo.
3 And the glory of the Lord of Israel was taken up, from the cherub upon which he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called out to the man who was clothed with linen and had an instrument for writing at his waist.
Le nionjoñe boak’ an-toe’e ambone’ o kerobeo ty engen’ Añahare’ Israele naho nivotrak’ an-tsa­rirañe eo vaho kinoi’e indaty misaroñe lamba-leny minday tsifan-drano-mainte añ’ ila’eoy;
4 And the Lord said to him: “Cross through the middle of the city, in the center of Jerusalem, and seal a Tau upon the foreheads of the grieving men, who are mourning over all the abominations which are being committed in its midst.”
le hoe t’Iehovà tama’e, Akia rangao i rovay, maneñateñà Ierosalaime, vaho tomboho alama ze ondaty miselekaiñe naho mitoreo ty amo hativañe anoeñe añivo’eo.
5 And he said to the others, in my hearing: “Cross through the city after him, and strike! Your eye shall not be lenient, and you shall not take pity.
Le hoe re amo ila’eo, am-pitsanoñako, Akia oriho re miranga amy rovay naho lafao; ko imetea’o hiheveam-pihaino, vaho ko mitretrè.
6 Kill, even to utter destruction, old men, young men, and virgins, little ones, and women. But all upon whom you see the Tau, you shall not kill. And begin from my sanctuary.” Therefore, they began with the men among the elders, who were before the face of the house.
Zamano ty bey naho o ajalahio naho o somon­drarao, o ajajao vaho o rakembao, fe ko harineañe ze tinombok’ alama; mifotora an-toeko miavak’ eo. Aa le nafoto’ iareo am’ondatio, amo androanavy aolo’ i kivohoio.
7 And he said to them: “Defile the house, and fill its courts with the slain! Go forth!” And they went forth and struck down those who were in the city.
Le hoe re am’ iereo, Leoro i anjombay vaho atsafo an-dolo’ o zinamañeo i kiririsay; mionjona! Aa le nimb’eo iereo nampibaibay amy rovay ao.
8 And when the slaughter was completed, I remained. And I fell upon my face, and crying out, I said: “Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! Will you now destroy the entire remnant of Israel, by pouring out your fury upon Jerusalem?”
Ie amy zao, naho fa zinama’ iareo ondatio, izaho avao ty eo, le nihotrak’ an-tareheko iraho nipazake ty hoe, Hoke! ry Iehovà Talè! ho fonga rotsahe’o hao ty sehanga’ Israele ami’ty fampidoaña’o am’ Ierosalaime o haviñera’oo?
9 And he said to me: “The iniquity of the house of Israel, and of Judah, is vast and exceedingly great, and the land has been filled with blood, and the city has been filled with what is abhorrent. For they have said: ‘The Lord has forsaken the earth,’ and, ‘The Lord does not see.’
Aa hoe re amako, Losotse o hakeo’ anjomba’ Israele naho Iehodào, naho milopolopo lio i taney vaho lifo-keloke i rovay, ie nanoe’ iereo ty hoe, Naforintse’ Iehovà ty tane toy, vaho tsy mahavazoho t’Iehovà.
10 Therefore, my eye will not be lenient, and I will not take pity. I will repay their own way upon their head.”
Aa naho izaho, tsy hiheve ty masoko, tsy hitretrè, fa hondrohako am’iereo o sata’ iareoo.
11 And behold, the man who was clothed with linen, who had a writing instrument at his back, responded a word, saying: “I have done just as you instructed me.”
Hehek’ amy zao indaty misaroñe lamba-leny reketse tsifan-drano-mainte añ’ila’eoy, namolily ty hoe, Nanoeko i namantoha’o ahiy.
