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.
Ergasis ani isaa, “Warra tokkoon tokkoon isaanii miʼa lolaa harkatti qabatanii magaalattii balleessan as dhiʼeessi” jedhee gurra kootti iyyu nan dhagaʼe.
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.
Anis utuu namoonni jaʼa kallattii karra ol aanuu kan gara kaabaa ilaaluun tokkoon tokkoon isaanii meeshaa nama ajjeesu harkatti qabatanii dhufaa jiranuu nan arge. Isaan wajjinis nama uffata quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame uffate kan mudhii isaatti korojoo katabbii hidhate tokkotu ture. Isaanis ol seenanii iddoo aarsaa naasii bira dhaabatan.
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.
Ulfinni Waaqa Israaʼelis iddoo irra buʼee ture kiirubeelii irraa kaʼee gara gulantaa mana qulqullummaatti qajeele. Ergasiis Waaqayyo namicha wayyaa quncee talbaa irraa tolfame uffatee mudhii isaatti korojoo katabbii hidhate sana waame;
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.
innis akkana jedheen; “Guutummaa magaalaa Yerusaalem keessa deemiitii adda namoota sababii wantoota jibbisiisoo ishee keessatti hojjetaman hundaatiif gaddanii booʼan irratti mallattoo godhi.”
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:
Inni utuma ani dhagaʼuu warra kaaniin akkana jedhe; “Magaalattii keessa isa faana deemaatii utuu garaa hin laafin yookaan utuu hin mararfatin ajjeesaa.
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.
Jaarsota, dargaggeeyyii, shamarran, dubartootaa fi ijoollee ajjeesaa; nama mallattoo qabu kam iyyuu garuu hin tuqinaa. Iddoo qulqullummaa koo irraa jalqabaa.” Kanaafuu isaan jaarsota fuula mana qulqullummaa dura jiran irraa jalqaban.
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.
Innis, “Mana qulqullummaa xureessaa; waltajjichas reeffaan guutaa. Itti baʼaa!” jedheen. Kanaafuu isaan gad baʼanii magaalattii guutuu keessatti ajjeesuu jalqaban.
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?
Utuu isaan ajjeesaa jiranii, ani kophaa koo hafee addaan lafatti gombifamee, “Ani bade yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa! Ati dheekkamsa kee Yerusaalem irratti roobsuudhaan hambaawwan Israaʼel hunda balleessuuf jirtaa?” jedheen iyye.
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.
Innis akkana jedhee naaf deebise; “Cubbuun mana Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa akka malee guddaa dha; biyyattiin dhiiga dhangalaasuudhaan, magaalaan immoo jalʼinaan guutamteerti. Isaan, ‘Waaqayyo biyyattii gateera; Waaqayyo hin argu’ jedhu.
10 Therefore as for even me, Mine eye shall not shield. Neither will I pity, — Their way upon their own head, have I rendered.
Kanaafuu ani ija gara laafinaatiin isaan hin ilaalu yookaan hin hiluufis; garuu ani waanuma isaan hojjetan mataa isaaniitti nan fida.”
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.
Ergasii namichi uffata quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame uffatee korojoo katabbii mudhii isaatti hidhate sun deebiʼee dhufee, “Ani akkuma ati na ajajje sana godheera” jedhe.
