Ezekiel 9
1 Then I heard him shout out with a loud voice, “Start the attack, you who are in charge of punishing Jerusalem! Pick up your weapons!”
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 I watched as six men approached from the upper gate that faces north. All of them were carrying battle axes. There was another man with them. He was dressed in linen and had a scribe's writing kit at his side. They entered and stood next to 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 The glory of the God of Israel rose from its usual place on the cherubim and went over to the Temple entrance. The Lord called out to the man dressed in linen with the writing kit,
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 “Go through the whole the city of Jerusalem and place a mark on the foreheads of those who sighing and mourning at all the disgusting sins that are done there.”
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 Then I heard him tell the others, “Follow him all through the city and start killing people. Don't be kind or merciful to anyone!
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 the old men, the young men and girls, the women and children, but do not go anywhere near those who have the mark. Start at my sanctuary.” So they started by killing the elders who were in front of the Temple.
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 Then he told them, “Make the Temple unclean and fill the courtyards with dead bodies. Go ahead and do it!” So they went and started killing all through 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 While they were busy killing people, I was left by myself. I fell facedown to the ground and cried out, “Lord God, when you pour out your anger on Jerusalem, are you going to destroy everyone who's left in Israel?”
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 “The sins of the people of Israel and Judah are really terrible,” he replied. “The whole country is full of murderers, and those living in the city are criminals. They're saying, ‘The Lord has given up on our country. He can't see what we're doing.’
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 But I certainly won't be kind to them or have mercy on them. I will make sure they suffer the consequences of what they've done.”
Aa naho izaho, tsy hiheve ty masoko, tsy hitretrè, fa hondrohako am’iereo o sata’ iareoo.
11 Then the man in linen with the writing kit returned and reported, “I've done what you told me to do.”
Hehek’ amy zao indaty misaroñe lamba-leny reketse tsifan-drano-mainte añ’ila’eoy, namolily ty hoe, Nanoeko i namantoha’o ahiy.
