< Ezekiyel 9 >
1 Sai na ji ya yi kira da babbar murya yana cewa, “Kawo matsaran birni a nan, kowanne da makami a hannunsa.”
And he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying: The visitations of the city are at hand, and every one hath a destroying weapon in his 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 behold six men came from the way of the upper gate, which looketh to the north: and each one had his weapon of destruction in his hand: and there was one man in the midst of them clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn at his reins: and they went in, and stood by the brazen 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
And the glory of the Lord of Israel went up from the cherub, upon which he was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man that was clothed with linen, and had a writer’s inkhorn at his loins.
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.”
And the Lord said to him: Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem: and mark Thau upon the foreheads of the men that sigh, and mourn for all the abominations that are committed in the midst thereof.
5 Yayinda nake saurara, sai ya ce wa waɗansu, “Ku bi shi ta birnin ku kuma kashe, babu tausayi ko kuwa jinƙai.
And to the others he said in my hearing: Go ye after him through the city, and strike: let not your eyes spare, nor be ye moved with pity.
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.
Utterly destroy old and young, maidens, children and women: but upon whomsoever you shall see Thau, kill him not, and begin ye at my sanctuary. So they began at the ancient men who mere before the house.
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.
And he said to them: Defile the house, and ill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew them that were in 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?”
And the slaughter being ended I was left: and I fell upon my face, and crying, I said: Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God, wilt thou then destroy all the remnant of Israel, by pouring out thy fury upon Jerusalem?
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.’
And he said to me: The iniquity of the house of Israel, and of Juda, is exceeding great, and the land is filled with blood, and the city is filled with perverseness: for they have said: The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and the Lord seeth not.
10 Saboda haka ba zan dube su da tausayi ko kuwa in ƙyale su ba, amma zan kawo wa kansu abin da suka yi.”
Therefore neither shall my eye spare, nor will I have pity: I will requite their way upon their head.
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.”
And behold the man that was clothed with linen, that had the inkhorn at his back, returned the word, saying: I have done as thou hast commanded me.
