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.”
Pagkatapos, narinig ko siyang umiyak ng may malakas na tinig, at sinabi, “Hayaan ninyong umakyat ang mga bantay sa lungsod, may pangwasak na sandata ang bawat isa 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 masdan! Dumating ang anim na lalaki mula sa daanan ng itaas na tarangkahan na nakaharap sa hilaga, may pangpatay na sandata ang bawat isa sa kaniyang kamay. At mayroong isang lalaki sa kanilang kalagitnaan na nakasuot ng lino na may kasamang kagamitan ng eskriba sa kaniyang tagiliran. Kaya pumasok sila at tumayo sa tabi ng altar na tanso.
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 umakyat ang kaluwalhatian ng Diyos ng Israel mula sa kerubin na nasa bungad ng pintuan ng tahanan. At tinawag niya ang lalaking nakasuot ng lino na may kagamitan ng eskriba 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.”
Sinabi ni Yahweh sa kaniya, “Dumaan ka sa kalagitnaan ng lungsod, ang kalagitnaan ng Jerusalem, at gumawa ng isang palatandaan sa mga noo ng mga lalaking naghihinagpis at nagbubuntong-hininga tungkol sa lahat ng mga kasuklam-suklam na naganap sa kalagitnaan ng lungsod.”
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.
Pagkatapos, narinig ko siyang nagsalita sa iba, “Dumaan kayo sa lungsod na kasunod niya at pumatay! Huwag ninyong hayaang magkaroon ng awa ang inyong mga mata, at huwag 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.
maski alin sa matatanda, binata, dalaga, maliliit na mga bata o kababaihan. Patayin ninyo silang lahat! Ngunit huwag ninyong lapitan ang sinumang lalaki na may palatandaan sa kaniyang ulo. Magsimula kayo sa aking santuwaryo!” Kaya sinimulan nila sa matatandang lalaki na nasa 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.
Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Dungisan ninyo ang bahay, at punuin ang mga patyo nito ng mga patay. Magpatuloy kayo!” Kaya lumabas sila at sinalakay ang lungsod.
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 habang sinasalakay nila ito, natagpuan ko ang aking sariling nag-iisa at nagpatirapa ako at umiyak at sinabi, “O, Panginoong Yahweh! Lilipulin mo ba ang lahat ng natira sa Israel sa pagbubuhos ng iyong matinding galit 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.’
Sinabi niya sa akin, “Ang kasalanan ng sambahayan ng Israel at Juda ay napakalaki. Ang lupain ay puno ng dugo at ang lungsod ay puno ng kabuktutan, yamang sinasabi nila, 'Kinalimutan ni Yahweh ang lupain,' at 'Hindi na tinitingnan ni Yahweh!'
10 Therefore, my eye will not be lenient, and I will not take pity. I will repay their own way upon their head.”
Kung gayon, hindi titingin nang may awa ang aking mata, at hindi ko sila kaaawaan. Sa halip, dadalhin ko ang lahat ng mga ito sa kanilang mga 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 masdan ninyo! Bumalik ang taong nakasuot ng lino na may kagamitan ng eskriba sa kaniyang tagiliran. Ibinalita niya at sinabi, “Nagawa ko na ang lahat ng iyong ipinag-uutos.”
