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 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 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.
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 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/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 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 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 Yayinda nake saurara, sai ya ce wa waɗansu, “Ku bi shi ta birnin ku kuma kashe, babu tausayi ko kuwa jinƙai.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Saboda haka ba zan dube su da tausayi ko kuwa in ƙyale su ba, amma zan kawo wa kansu abin da suka yi.”
[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 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 wearing the linen robe returned, saying, “I have done what you commanded me to do.”
