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.”
Nang magkagayo'y sumigaw siya sa aking pakinig ng malakas na tinig, na nagsasabi, Magsilapit yaong mga may katungkulan sa bayan, na bawa't isa'y may kaniyang pangpatay na almas sa kaniyang kamay.
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.
At narito, anim na lalake ay nagsipanggaling sa daan ng mataas na pintuang-daan, na nalalagay sa dako ng hilagaan, na bawa't isa'y may kaniyang pangpatay na almas sa kaniyang kamay; at isang lalake ay nasa gitna nila na nakapanamit ng kayong lino, na may tintero ng manunulat sa kaniyang tagiliran. At sila'y nagsipasok, at nagsitayo sa siping ng tansong dambana.
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.
At ang kaluwalhatian ng Dios ng Israel ay umilanglang mula sa kerubin, na kinapapatungan, hanggang sa pintuan ng bahay: at kaniyang tinawag ang lalaking nakapanamit ng kayong lino, na may tintero ng manunulat sa kaniyang tagiliran.
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.”
At sinabi ng Panginoon sa kaniya, Pumaroon ka sa gitna ng bayan, sa gitna ng Jerusalem, at maglagay ka ng mga tanda sa mga noo ng mga taong nangagbubuntong-hininga at nagsidaing dahil sa lahat na kasuklamsuklam na nagawa sa gitna niyaon.
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.
At sa mga iba ay sinabi niya sa aking pakinig, Magsiparoon kayo sa bayan na magsisunod sa kaniya, at manakit kayo: huwag magpatawad ang inyong mata, o kayo man ay mahabag;
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.
Lipulin ninyong lubos ang matanda, ang binata at ang dalaga, at ang mga bata at ang mga babae; nguni't huwag lumapit sa sinomang lalake na tinandaan; at inyong pasimulan sa aking santuario. Nang magkagayo'y kanilang pinasimulan sa mga matandang lalake na nangasa harap ng bahay.
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.
At sinabi niya sa kanila, Lapastanganin ninyo ang bahay, at punuin ninyo ng patay ang mga looban: magsilabas kayo. At sila'y nagsilabas, at nanakit sa bayan.
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?”
At nangyari, habang sila'y nananakit, at ako'y naiwan, na ako'y nasubasob, at sumigaw ako, at aking sinabi, Ah Panginoong Dios! iyo bagang lilipulin ang buong nalabi sa Israel, sa iyong pagbubugso ng iyong kapusukan sa Jerusalem?
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.’
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya sa akin, Ang kasamaan ng sangbahayan ni Israel at ni Juda ay totoong malaki, at ang lupain ay puno ng dugo, at ang bayan ay puno ng kasuwailan: sapagka't kanilang sinasabi, Pinabayaan ng Panginoon ang lupa, at hindi nakikita ng Panginoon.
10 Therefore, my eye will not be lenient, and I will not take pity. I will repay their own way upon their head.”
At tungkol sa akin naman, ang aking mata ay hindi magpapatawad, o mahahabag man ako, kundi aking ipadadanas ang kanilang lakad sa kanilang ulo.
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.”
At, narito, ang lalaking nakapanamit ng kayong lino, na may tintero ng manunulat sa kaniyang tagiliran, nagbalita ng bagay; na sinabi, Aking ginawa na gaya ng iniutos mo sa akin.
