Ezekiel 9
1 He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
Mgbe ahụ, a nụrụ m ka o ji oke olu kpọọ oku sị, “Bịanụ nso, unu bụ ndị ahọpụtara ilekọta obodo a, onye ọbụla jidekwa ngwa agha nʼaka ya.”
2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
A hụrụ m ndị ikom isii si nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke dị nʼakụkụ ebe dị elu na-apụta, nke chere ihu nʼugwu, onye ọbụla jikwa mma agha nʼaka ya. Otu onye nʼime ha yi uwe akwa ọcha, nyarakwa nwa akpa nke ihe e ji ede akwụkwọ dị nʼime ya. Ha niile batara nʼime ụlọnsọ, guzokwa nʼakụkụ ebe ịchụ aja e ji bronz wuo.
3 And the glory of the Elohim of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side;
Ma ebube nke Chineke Izrel sitere nʼelu cherubim ndị ahụ, ebe ọ nọ na mbụ, bilie bịa guzokwa nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọnsọ ahụ. Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị kpọrọ nwoke ahụ yi uwe akwa ọcha bụ onye nya akpa ahụ nke ihe e ji ede ihe dị nʼime ya,
4 And YHWH said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
ọ sịrị ya, “Bilie, jegharịa nʼokporoụzọ niile nke obodo Jerusalem, kakwasị akara nʼegedege ihu ndị niile na-akwa akwa na ndị niile na-asụ ude nʼihi ihe arụ niile nke a na-eme nʼime ya.”
5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
Anụkwara m ka ọ gwara ndị ọzọ, “Soronụ ya baa nʼime obodo, gbukwaanụ, unu emekwarala onye ọbụla ebere maọbụ ọmịiko.
6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
Gbuonụ ha niile, ndị okenye, na ụmụ okorobịa, na ụmụ agbọghọbịa, na ndị inyom, na ụmụntakịrị. Ma unu emetụkwala onye ọbụla nwere akara ahụ nʼihu ya. Malitenụ nʼebe a, nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu m.” Ya mere, ha malitere igbu ndị okenye ndị nọ nʼihu ụlọnsọ.
7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
Ọ sịkwara ha, “Merụọnụ ụlọnsọ a! Werekwanụ ozu ndị unu gburu egbu tụjuo nʼime ogige ya! Gaanụ!” Ha pụrụ baa nʼime obodo, bido igbu ndị mmadụ.
8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah, Sovereign YHWH! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
Mgbe ha nọ na-egbu ndị mmadụ maọbụ naanị m fọdụrụ, adara m nʼala kpuchie ihu m, tie mkpu akwa, sị, “Ewoo, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị! Ị ga-esite nʼoke iwe ị na-eweso Jerusalem bibie ihe niile fọdụrụ nʼIzrel?”
9 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, YHWH hath forsaken the earth, and YHWH seeth not.
Ọ sịrị m, “Mmehie niile nke ụlọ Izrel na Juda dị ukwuu rie nne. Ala niile jupụtakwara nʼọbara ndị egburu, obodo jupụtakwara nʼikpe ikpe na-ezighị ezi. Nʼihi na ha na-asị, ‘Onyenwe anyị esitela nʼala anyị wezuga onwe ya. Ọ dịghị ihe Onyenwe anyị na-ahụ.’
10 And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.
Nʼihi ya, agaghị m ahapụ ha, agakwaghị m enwe ọmịiko nʼahụ ha. Aga m akwụghachi ha nʼihi ihe ọjọọ niile ha mere.”
11 And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
Mgbe ahụ, nwoke ahụ yi uwe akwa ọcha, nke nya akpa nke ihe e ji ede akwụkwọ dị nʼime ya, lọghachiri sị, “Arụchaala m ọrụ i nyere m ịrụ.”
