Ezekiel 9
1 Then cried he in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Draw near ye that have charge of the city, -even every man with his weapon of destruction in his hand.
et clamavit in auribus meis voce magna dicens adpropinquaverunt visitationes urbis et unusquisque vas interfectionis habet in manu sua
2 And lo! six men coming in out of the way of the upper gate which looketh toward the north even every man with his destructive weapon in his hand, and one man in their midst clothed with linen, having a scribe’s ink holder by his side, —so they came in and stood beside the altar of bronze.
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 lineis et atramentarium scriptoris ad renes eius et ingressi sunt et steterunt iuxta altare aereum
3 And the glory of the God of Israel lifted itself up from off the cherub whereon it had been, unto the threshold of the house, —and he called unto the man clothed with linen, who had the scribe’s ink holder by his side.
et gloria Domini Israhel adsumpta 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 Then said Yahweh unto him. Pass along through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, —and set thou a mark upon the foreheads of the men who are sighing and crying over all the abominations that are being done in her midst.
et dixit Dominus ad eum transi per mediam civitatem in medio Hierusalem et signa thau super frontes virorum gementium et dolentium super cunctis abominationibus quae fiunt in medio eius
5 But unto these, said he in mine ears, Pass along through the city after him and smite, —let not your eye, shield, neither have ye pity:
et illis dixit audiente me transite per civitatem sequentes eum et percutite non parcat oculus vester neque misereamini
6 elder, young man and virgin and little ones and women, shall ye slay utterly, but unto any man who hath upon him the mark, do not ye come near, and at my sanctuary, shall ye begin. So they began with the elder men. who were before the house.
senem adulescentulum et virginem parvulum et mulieres interficite usque ad internicionem 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 he said unto them Defile ye the house and fill the courts with the slain, —go ye forth! So they went forth and smote 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 came to pass, while they were smiting them—I being left remaining, that I fell upon my face and made outcry, and said Alas! My Lord. Yahweh art thou about to destroy all the remnant of Israel, in that thou art pouring out of thine indignation upon Jerusalem?
et caede conpleta remansi ego ruique super faciem meam et clamans aio heu heu heu Domine Deus ergone disperdes omnes reliquias Israhel effundens furorem tuum super Hierusalem
9 And he said unto me the iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah, is exceeding, great, and the land is filled with shed blood, and the city is full of over-reaching, —for they have said. Yahweh hath forsaken the land, — and Yahweh doth not see.
et dixit ad me iniquitas domus Israhel 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 Therefore as for even me, Mine eye shall not shield. Neither will I pity, — Their way upon their own head, have I rendered.
igitur et meus non parcet oculus neque miserebor viam eorum super caput eorum reddam
11 And lo! the man clothed in linen, having the ink-holder by his side, bringing back word saying, — I have done according to all which thou didst command me.
et ecce vir qui indutus erat lineis qui habebat atramentarium in dorso suo respondit verbum dicens feci sicut praecepisti mihi
