Ezekieli 9
1 Ningĩ ngĩigua agĩĩtana na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rehei arangĩri a itũũra inene haha, o mũndũ arĩ na itharaita rĩa mbaara guoko-inĩ.”
Then I heard Yahweh call out loudly, “[You men who are going to punish this city, ] bring here the guards of the city, each carrying a weapon.”
2 Na niĩ ngĩona andũ atandatũ magĩũka moimĩte mwena wa kĩhingo kĩa rũgongo, kĩrĩa kĩrorete mwena wa gathigathini, o mũndũ arĩ na kĩndũ gĩa kũũragana guoko-inĩ. Makĩrehane na mũndũ ũngĩ ũmwe wehumbĩte nguo cia gatani na eyohete indo cia kwandĩka njohero. Nao magĩtoonya makĩrũgama mwena-inĩ wa kĩgongona kĩrĩa gĩa gĩcango.
Then I saw six men coming from the north gate of the temple area. Each one was carrying a weapon. With them was a man wearing a white linen robe. [carried] at his side a case containing things to write with. They [all] came into the temple and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 Na rĩrĩ, riiri wa Ngai wa Isiraeli ũkĩambata uumĩte igũrũ rĩa makerubi, harĩa warĩ mbere, ũgĩthiĩ hingĩro-inĩ ya hekarũ. Ningĩ Jehova agĩĩta mũndũ ũcio wehumbĩte nguo cia gatani, o ũcio weyohete indo cia kwandĩka njohero,
[Then] the (glory/dazzling light) [that symbolized the presence] of the God of Israel rose up from above the four winged creatures and moved to the entrance of the temple. Then Yahweh called to the man wearing the linen robe,
4 akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũtuĩkanie itũũra inene rĩa Jerusalemu, na wĩkĩre rũũri ithiithi cia arĩa marĩ na kĩeha, na magacakaya nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ mothe marĩ magigi marĩa mekagwo kũu thĩinĩ warĩo.”
and said to him, “Go throughout Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who are very sad [DOU] because of the detestable things that are being done inside the city.”
5 O thikĩrĩirie ũguo, akĩĩra acio angĩ atĩrĩ, “Mũrũmĩrĩrei, mũtuĩkanĩrie itũũra rĩu inene mũũragane mũtekũiguanĩra tha kana gũcaayanĩra.
While I was listening, he said to the other six men, “Follow the man wearing the white robe, and kill people. Do not pity them or act mercifully toward them.
6 Ũragai athuuri, na aanake na airĩtu, na andũ-a-nja na ciana, no mũtikahutie mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ mwĩkĩre rũũri rũu. Ambĩrĩriai o haha hakwa haamũre.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩambĩrĩria na athuuri arĩa maarĩ hau mbere ya hekarũ.
Slaughter old men, young men and women, older women and children, but do not harm any of those who have that mark on their forehead. Start at my temple.” So they began by killing the elders who were [worshiping idols] in front of the temple.
7 Ningĩ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thaahiai hekarũ ĩno na mũiyũrie nja ciayo andũ arĩa moragĩtwo. Thiĩi!” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makiumagara, makĩambĩrĩria kũũragana kũu itũũra-inĩ inene.
Then Yahweh said to those men, “Pollute the temple by filling the [with the corpses of those whom] you kill! Start now!” So they went out and starting killing people throughout the city.
8 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mooraganaga niĩ ngĩtigwo ndĩ nyiki, ngĩĩgũithia, ngĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ, ngĩrĩra, ngĩũria atĩrĩ, “Hĩ, Mwathani Jehova! Anga nĩũkũniina matigari mothe ma Isiraeli hĩndĩ ĩno ya gũitĩrĩria Jerusalemu mangʼũrĩ maku?”
While they were doing that, I was left alone. I prostrated myself on the ground and cried out, “Yahweh my Lord, are you going to get rid of all the people of Israel and Judah who are still alive, while you are severely punishing [MTY] [the people of] Jerusalem?”
9 Nake akĩnjookeria atĩrĩ, “Mehia ma nyũmba ya Isiraeli na ya Juda nĩ maingĩ magakĩra; bũrũri ũiyũrĩte ũiti wa thakame, narĩo itũũra inene rĩiyũrĩte ũhotomia wa kĩhooto. Moigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova nĩatiganĩirie bũrũri ũyũ; Jehova ndarona.’
He replied, “The sins of the people [MTY] of Israel and Judah are extremely great. People are murdered [MTY] everywhere [in this country], and this city is full of [people who act] unjustly. They say, ‘Yahweh has abandoned this country, and he does not [what we are doing].’
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, Niĩ ndigacooka kũmaiguĩra tha kana kũmacaaĩra, no nĩngamacookereria ũrĩa mekĩte.”
[So] I will not pity them or act mercifully toward them. I will do to them the evil things that they have done to other people.”
11 Ningĩ mũndũ ũcio wehumbĩte nguo cia gatani, na akeoha indo cia wandĩki njohero, agĩcookia ndũmĩrĩri, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjĩkĩte o ta ũrĩa wathanire.”
Then the man wearing the linen robe returned, saying, “I have done what you commanded me to do.”
