< 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.
Nang magkagayo'y sumigaw siya sa aking pakinig ng malakas na tinig, na nagsasabi, Magsilapit yaong mga may katungkulan sa bayan, na bawa't isa'y may kaniyang pangpatay na almas sa kaniyang kamay.
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.
At narito, anim na lalake ay nagsipanggaling sa daan ng mataas na pintuang-daan, na nalalagay sa dako ng hilagaan, na bawa't isa'y may kaniyang pangpatay na almas sa kaniyang kamay; at isang lalake ay nasa gitna nila na nakapanamit ng kayong lino, na may tintero ng manunulat sa kaniyang tagiliran. At sila'y nagsipasok, at nagsitayo sa siping ng tansong dambana.
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.
At ang kaluwalhatian ng Dios ng Israel ay umilanglang mula sa kerubin, na kinapapatungan, hanggang sa pintuan ng bahay: at kaniyang tinawag ang lalaking nakapanamit ng kayong lino, na may tintero ng manunulat sa kaniyang tagiliran.
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.
At sinabi ng Panginoon sa kaniya, Pumaroon ka sa gitna ng bayan, sa gitna ng Jerusalem, at maglagay ka ng mga tanda sa mga noo ng mga taong nangagbubuntong-hininga at nagsidaing dahil sa lahat na kasuklamsuklam na nagawa sa gitna niyaon.
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:
At sa mga iba ay sinabi niya sa aking pakinig, Magsiparoon kayo sa bayan na magsisunod sa kaniya, at manakit kayo: huwag magpatawad ang inyong mata, o kayo man ay mahabag;
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.
Lipulin ninyong lubos ang matanda, ang binata at ang dalaga, at ang mga bata at ang mga babae; nguni't huwag lumapit sa sinomang lalake na tinandaan; at inyong pasimulan sa aking santuario. Nang magkagayo'y kanilang pinasimulan sa mga matandang lalake na nangasa harap ng bahay.
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.
At sinabi niya sa kanila, Lapastanganin ninyo ang bahay, at punuin ninyo ng patay ang mga looban: magsilabas kayo. At sila'y nagsilabas, at nanakit sa bayan.
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?
At nangyari, habang sila'y nananakit, at ako'y naiwan, na ako'y nasubasob, at sumigaw ako, at aking sinabi, Ah Panginoong Dios! iyo bagang lilipulin ang buong nalabi sa Israel, sa iyong pagbubugso ng iyong kapusukan sa Jerusalem?
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.
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya sa akin, Ang kasamaan ng sangbahayan ni Israel at ni Juda ay totoong malaki, at ang lupain ay puno ng dugo, at ang bayan ay puno ng kasuwailan: sapagka't kanilang sinasabi, Pinabayaan ng Panginoon ang lupa, at hindi nakikita ng Panginoon.
10 Therefore as for even me, Mine eye shall not shield. Neither will I pity, — Their way upon their own head, have I rendered.
At tungkol sa akin naman, ang aking mata ay hindi magpapatawad, o mahahabag man ako, kundi aking ipadadanas ang kanilang lakad sa kanilang ulo.
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.
At, narito, ang lalaking nakapanamit ng kayong lino, na may tintero ng manunulat sa kaniyang tagiliran, nagbalita ng bagay; na sinabi, Aking ginawa na gaya ng iniutos mo sa akin.
