Ezekiyel 9
1 Sai na ji ya yi kira da babbar murya yana cewa, “Kawo matsaran birni a nan, kowanne da makami a hannunsa.”
Then I heard Him call out in a loud voice, saying, “Draw near, O executioners of the city, each with a weapon of destruction in hand.”
2 Na kuma ga mutane shida suna zuwa daga kowane gefen ƙofar ta bisa, wadda take fuskantar arewa, kowanne da makamin kisa a hannunsa. Tare da su akwai mutum saye da lilin yana rataye da jaka ƙunshe da kayan rubutu a gefensa. Suka shiga suka tsaya kusa da bagaden tagulla.
And I saw six men coming from the direction of the Upper Gate, which faces north, each with a weapon of slaughter in his hand. With them was another man clothed in linen who had a writing kit at his side. And they came in and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 To, fa, ɗaukakar Allah na Isra’ila ta haura daga bisa kerubobi, inda ta kasance, ta tashi zuwa bakin madogarar ƙofar haikali. Sai Ubangiji ya kira mutumin da yake saye da lilin wanda ya rataye jaka ƙunshe da kayan rubutu a gefensa
Then the glory of the God of Israel rose from above the cherubim, where it had been, and moved to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed in linen who had the writing kit at his side.
4 ya ce masa, “Ka ratsa birnin Urushalima ka sa shaida a goshin waɗanda suke baƙin ciki da kuma makoki a kan dukan abubuwan banƙyamar da ake yi a cikinsa.”
“Go throughout the city of Jerusalem,” said the LORD, “and put a mark on the foreheads of the men sighing and groaning over all the abominations committed there.”
5 Yayinda nake saurara, sai ya ce wa waɗansu, “Ku bi shi ta birnin ku kuma kashe, babu tausayi ko kuwa jinƙai.
And as I listened, He said to the others, “Follow him through the city and start killing; do not show pity or spare anyone!
6 Ku kashe tsofaffi da samari da’yan mata, mata da yara, amma kada ku taɓa wani wanda yake da shaida. Ku fara a wuri mai tsarkina.” Saboda haka suka fara da dattawan da suke gaban haikali.
Slaughter the old men, the young men and maidens, the women and children; but do not go near anyone who has the mark. Now begin at My sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the temple.
7 Sa’an nan ya ce musu, “Ku ƙazantar da haikalin ku kuma cika filayen da kisassu. Ku tafi!” Saboda haka suka fita suka kuma fara kisa a duk birnin.
Then He told them, “Defile the temple and fill the courts with the slain. Go forth!” So they went out and began killing throughout the city.
8 Yayinda suke kisan sai aka bar ni kaɗai, na fāɗi rubda ciki, na yi kuka na ce, “Kash, Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka! Za ka hallaka dukan raguwar Isra’ila a wannan zafin fushinka a Urushalima?”
While they were killing, I was left alone. And I fell facedown and cried out, “Oh, Lord GOD, when You pour out Your wrath on Jerusalem, will You destroy the entire remnant of Israel?”
9 Ya amsa mini ya ce, “Zunubin gidan Isra’ila da Yahuda ya yi girma ainun; ƙasar ta cika da rashin adalci. Suna cewa, ‘Ubangiji ya yashe ƙasar; Ubangiji ba ya gani.’
He replied, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great. The land is full of bloodshed, and the city is full of perversity. For they say, ‘The LORD has forsaken the land; the LORD does not see.’
10 Saboda haka ba zan dube su da tausayi ko kuwa in ƙyale su ba, amma zan kawo wa kansu abin da suka yi.”
But as for Me, I will not look on them with pity, nor will I spare them. I will bring their deeds down upon their own heads.”
11 Sai mutumin da yana saye da lilin yake kuma rataye da jaka ƙunshe da kayan rubutu a gefensa ya mayar da magana, yana cewa, “Na yi yadda ka umarci ni.”
Then the man clothed in linen with the writing kit at his side reported back, “I have done as You commanded.”
