Hezekiel 9
1 Tete mesee wòdo ɣli sesĩe gblɔ be, “Mikplɔ dua ŋu dzɔlawo va afii, ɖe sia ɖe natsɔ aʋawɔnu ɖe asi”
And he criede in myn eeris with greet vois, and seide, The visityngis of the citee han neiyed, and ech man hath in his hond an instrument of sleyng.
2 Mekpɔ ame ade wotso dzigbegbo si dze ŋgɔ anyiehe la gbɔ gbɔna; ɖe sia ɖe lé aʋawɔnu dziŋɔ aɖe ɖe asi. Ame aɖe nɔ wo dome, edo aklala biɖibiɖi ƒe awu, eye wòkpla agbalẽŋlɔnuwo ɖe eƒe axame. Woge ɖe eme, eye wotsi tsitre ɖe akɔblivɔsamlekpui la xa.
And lo! sixe men camen fro the weie of the hiyere yate, that biholdith to the north, and the instrument of deth of ech man was in his hond; also o man in the myddis of hem was clothid with lynnun clothis, and a pennere of a writere at hise reynes; and thei entriden, and stoden bisidis the brasun auter.
3 Azɔ la, Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ho tso kerubiawo tame, afi si wònɔ tsã, eye wòyi gbedoxɔ la ƒe kpui nu. Tete Yehowa yɔ ame si do aklala biɖibiɖi ƒe awu, ame si ƒe aklito agbalẽŋlɔnuwo le la,
And the glorie of the Lord of Israel was takun vp fro cherub, which glorie was on it, to the threisfold of the hous; and the Lord clepide the man that was clothid with lynun clothis, and hadde a pennere of a writere in hise leendis.
4 eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Yi, nàto Yerusalem du la katã me, eye nàde dzesi ŋgonu na ame siwo se veve eye wole nu xam le ŋunyɔnu siwo wowɔna le dua me la ŋuti.”
And the Lord seide to hym, Passe thou bi the myddis of the citee, in the myddis of Jerusalem, and marke thou Thau on the forhedis of men weilynge and sorewynge on alle abhomynaciouns that ben doon in the myddis therof.
5 Esi menɔ to ɖom la, egblɔ na ame bubuawo be, “Midze eyome to du la me, eye miawu amewo. Migakpɔ nublanui na ame aɖeke loo, alo miaƒe dɔ me natrɔ ɖe ame aɖeke ŋu o.
And he seide to hem in myn heryng, Go ye thorouy the citee, and sue ye hym, and smytte ye; youre iye spare not, nether do ye merci.
6 Miwu ŋutsu tsitsiwo, ɖekakpuiwo, ɖetugbiwo, nyɔnuwo kple ɖeviwo siaa, gake migaka asi ame aɖeke si ŋu dzesi le la ŋu o.” Midze egɔme tso ame tsitsi siwo nɔ gbedoxɔ la ŋgɔ la dzi.
Sle ye til to deth, an eld man, a yong man, and a virgyn, a litil child, and wymmen; but sle ye not ony man, on whom ye seen Thau; and bigynne ye at my seyntuarie. Therfore thei bigunnen at the eldere men, that weren bifore the face of the hous.
7 Eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Migblẽ kɔ ɖo na gbedoxɔ la, eye miana ame kukuawo nayɔ eƒe xɔxɔnu. Miyi!” Ale woyi, eye wode asi ameawo wuwu me le du la katã me.
And he seide to hem, Defoule ye the hous, and fille ye the hallis with slayn men; go ye out. And thei yeden out, and killiden hem that weren in the citee.
8 Esi wonɔ ameawo wum, eye nye ɖeka metsi anyi la, metsyɔ mo anyi, eye medo ɣli be, “Ao! Aƒetɔ Yehowa! Ɖe nèle Israel ƒe ame mamlɛawo katã tsrɔ̃ ge le wò dɔmedzoe kɔkɔ sia ɖe Yerusalem ŋu la mea?”
And lo! whanne the sleyng was fillid, Y was left. And Y felle doun on my face, and Y criede, and seide, Alas! alas! alas! Lord God, therfor whether thou schalt leese alle remenauntis of Israel, and schalt schede out thi stronge veniaunce on Jerusalem?
9 Eɖo eŋu nam be, “Israel kple Yuda ƒe aƒe la ƒe nu vɔ̃ sɔ gbɔ ŋutɔŋutɔ, ʋukɔkɔɖi xɔ anyigba la dzi, eye nu madzɔmadzɔ wɔwɔ yɔ du la me. Wogblɔna be, ‘Yehowa gbe nu le anyigba la gbɔ. Yehowa mekpɔa nu o.’
And he seide to me, The wickidnesse of the hous of Israel and of Juda is ful greet, and the lond is fillid of bloodis, and the citee is fillid with turnyng awei; for thei seiden, The Lord hath forsake the lond, and the Lord seeth not.
10 Eya ta nyemakpɔ nublanui na wo alo atsɔe ake wo o, ke boŋ mana nu si wowɔ la nava woawo ŋutɔ ƒe ta dzi.”
Therfor and myn iye schal not spare, nether Y schal do merci; Y schal yelde the weie of hem on the heed of hem.
11 Tete ame si do aklala biɖibiɖi ƒe awu, eye agbalẽŋlɔnuwo le eƒe axame la gblɔ be, “Mewɔ nu si nèɖo nam be mawɔ.”
And lo! the man that was clothid in lynun clothis, that hadde a pennere in his bak, answeride a word, and seide, Y haue do, as thou comaundidist to me.
