Ezekiel 9
1 And he called out in ears my a voice great saying they have drawn near [the] punishments of the city and everyone [the] weapon of destruction his [is] in hand his.
Kisha akalia kwa sauti kubwa nikasikia kwenye masikio yangu, huku akisema, “Waache walinzi waje kwenye mji, kila mmoja na silaha yake ya uharibifu kwenye mkono wake.”
2 And there! six men [were] coming - from [the] direction of [the] gate upper which - [is] faced north-ward and everyone [the] weapon of shattering his [was] in hand his and a man one [was] in midst of them clothed linen and [the] writing-case of scribe [was] at hips his and they came and they stood beside [the] altar of bronze.
Kisha tazama! watu wanne watakuja kutokea njia ya lango la juu linaloelekea kaskazini, kila mmoja na silaha yake ya kuchinjia kwenye mkono wake. Kulikuwa na mtu mmoja miongoni mwao alikuwa amevaa nguo ya kitani pamoja na kifaa cha uandishi ubavuni mwake. Hivyo waliingia na kusimama karibu na madhabahu ya shaba.
3 And [the] glory of - [the] God of Israel it was taken up from on the cherub which it had been on it to [the] threshold of the house and he called to the man who was clothed the linen whom writing-case of scribe [was] at hips his.
Kisha utukufu wa Mungu wa Israeli ukapanda juu kutoka kwa kerubi ambapo ilikuwa kwenye kisingiti cha nyumba. Akamwita yule mtu aliyekuwa amevaa nguo ya kitani na kifaa cha uandishi ubavuni mwake.
4 And he said Yahweh (to him *Q(k)*) pass in [the] midst of the city in [the] midst of Jerusalem and you will mark a mark on [the] foreheads of the people who sigh and who groan on all the abominations which are done in [the] midst of it.
Yahwe akamwambia, “Pita kati ya mji-kati ya Yerusalemu-na weka alama katika vipaji vya uso vya wale waliolemewa na kuona kuhusu machukizo yote yanafanyika kati ya mji.”
5 And to these he said in ears my pass in the city after him and strike (not *Q(K)*) let it look with compassion (eye your *Q(K)*) and may not you show pity.
Kisha akaongea na wengine kupitia kusikia kwangu, “Pita kwenye mji baada ya yeye na kuua. Msiache macho yenu yawe na huruma, na msiogope kuharibu
6 Old [man] young man and virgin and little one[s] and women you will kill to destruction and to any person whom [is] on him the mark may not you draw near and from sanctuary my you will begin and they began with the men old who [were] before the house.
iwe mzee, kijana, msichana, mtoto mdogo au wanawake. Waueni watu wote! Lakini msimkaribie mtu yeyote ambaye mwenye alama kwenye kichwa chake. Anzeni katika patakatifu pangu!” Hivyo wakaanza na wazee waliokuwa mbele ya nyumba.
7 And he said to them make unclean the house and fill the courts [those] slain go forth and they went forth and they struck in the city.
Akawaambia, “Najisi nyumba, na kujaza zio zake kwa waliokufa. Endeleeni!” Hivyo wakaenda na kuushambulia mji.
8 And it was when were striking they and [was] remaining I and I fell! on face my and I cried out and I said alas! O Lord Yahweh ¿ about to destroy [are] you all [the] remnant of Israel when pouring out you rage your on Jerusalem.
Walipokuwa wakiushambulia, nikajikuta mwenyewe na nikaangukia kwenye uso wangu na kulia kwa sauti na kusema, “Ee, Bwana Yahwe, utayaharibu mabaki yote ya Israeli wakati wa kumwaga ghadhabu yao juu ya Yerusalemu?”
9 And he said to me [the] iniquity of [the] house of Israel and Judah [is] great with muchness muchness and it has been filled the land blood and the city it is full perverseness for they have said he has forsaken Yahweh the land and not Yahweh [is] seeing.
Akanambia, “Uovu wa nyumba ya Israeli na Yuda unaongezeka sana. Nchi imejaa damu na mji umejaa upotovu, tangu waliposema, 'Yahwe ameisahau nchi; na Yahwe haoni!'
10 And also I not it will look with compassion eye my and not I will show pity conduct their on own head their I will requite.
Hivyo kisha, macho yangu hataangalia kwa huruma, na sintoacha kuwaharibu. Badala yake nitaileta juu ya vichwa vyao.”
11 And there! the man - clothed of the linen whom the writing-case [was] at hips his [was] bringing back a word saying I have done (according to all that *Q(K)*) you commanded me.
Tazama! yule mtu aliyekuwa amevaa nguo ya kitani aliyekuwa na kifaa cha uandishi kwa uapende wa ubavuni mwake. Alitoa taarifa na kusema, “Nimemaliza yale yote uliyoniamuru.”
