Ezekiel 9
1 And He cries [with] a loud voice in my ears, saying, “Inspectors of the city have drawn near, and each [with] his destroying weapon in his hand.”
Et clamavit in auribus meis voce magna, dicens: Appropinquaverunt visitationes urbis, et unusquisque vas interfectionis habet in manu sua.
2 And behold, six men are coming from the way of the upper gate, that is facing the north, and each [with] his slaughter-weapon in his hand, and one man in their midst is clothed with linen, and a scribe’s inkhorn at his loins, and they come in, and stand near the bronze altar.
Et ecce sex viri veniebant de via portae superioris, quae respicit ad Aquilonem: et uniuscuiusque vas interitus in manu eius: vir quoque unus in medio eorum vestitus erat lineis, et atramentarium scriptoris ad renes eius: et ingressi sunt, et steterunt iuxta altare aereum:
3 And the glory of the God of Israel has gone up from off the cherub, on which it has been, to the threshold of the house.
Et gloria Domini Israel assumpta est de cherub, quae erat super eum ad limen domus: et vocavit virum, qui indutus erat lineis, et atramentarium scriptoris habebat in lumbis suis.
4 And He calls to the man who is clothed with linen, who has the scribe’s inkhorn at his loins, and YHWH says to him, “Pass on into the midst of the city, into the midst of Jerusalem, and you have made a mark on the foreheads of the men who are sighing and who are groaning for all the abominations that are done in its midst.”
Et dixit Dominus ad eum: Transi per mediam civitatem in medio Ierusalem: et signa thau super frontes virorum gementium, et dolentium super cunctis abominationibus, quae fiunt in medio eius.
5 And to the others he said in my ears, “Pass on into the city after him, and strike; your eye does not pity, nor do you spare;
Et illis dixit, audiente me: Transite per civitatem sequentes eum, et percutite: non parcat oculus vester, neque misereamini.
6 aged, young man, and virgin, and infant, and women, you slay—to destruction; and against any man on whom [is] the mark you do not go near, and you begin from My sanctuary.”
Senem, adolescentulum, et virginem, parvulos, et mulieres interficite usque ad internecionem: omnem autem, super quem videritis thau, ne occidatis, et a sanctuario meo incipite. Coeperunt ergo a viris senioribus, qui erant ante faciem domus.
7 And they begin among the aged men who [are] before the house, and He says to them, “Defile the house, and fill the courts with the wounded, go forth.” And they have gone forth and have struck in the city.
Et dixit ad eos: Contaminate domum, et implete atria interfectis: egredimini. Et egressi sunt, et percutiebant eos, qui erant in civitate.
8 And it comes to pass, as they are striking, and I am left—that I fall on my face, and cry, and say, “Aah! Lord YHWH, are You destroying all the remnant of Israel, in Your pouring out Your wrath on Jerusalem?”
Et caede completa, remansi ego: ruique super faciem meam, et clamans aio: Heu, heu, heu Domine Deus: ergone disperdes omnes reliquias Israel, effundens furorem tuum super Ierusalem?
9 And He says to me, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah [is] very, very great, and the land is full of blood, and the city has been full of perverseness, for they have said: YHWH has forsaken the land, and YHWH is not seeing.
Et dixit ad me: Iniquitas domus Israel, et Iuda, magna est nimis valde, et repleta est terra sanguinibus, et civitas repleta est aversione: dixerunt enim: Dereliquit Dominus terram, et Dominus non videt.
10 And I also, My eye does not pity, nor do I spare; I have put their way on their own head.”
Igitur et meus non parcet oculus, neque miserebor: viam eorum super caput eorum reddam.
11 And behold, the man clothed with linen, at whose loins [is] the inkhorn, is bringing back word, saying, “I have done as You have commanded me.”
Et ecce vir, qui erat indutus lineis, qui habebat atramentarium in dorso suo, respondit verbum, dicens: Feci sicut praecepisti mihi.
