< Ezekiela 9 >
1 KAHEA mai la oia iloko o ko'u mau pepeiao, me ka leo nui, i mai la, Nau e hookokoke mai na kiai o ke kulanakauhale, e paa ana i ka lima o kela kanaka keia kanaka kona mea oi e luku ai.
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 Aia hoi, hele mai la na kanaka eono mai ka aoao mai o ka puka luna, e moe ana ma ke kukuluakau, e paa ana i ka lima o kela kanaka keia kanaka kona mea oi e luku ai; a iwaena o lakou kekahi kanaka i aahuia i ke olona a he ipuinika o ka mea kakau ma kona aoao; a komo lakou iloko, a ku iho ma ka aoao o ke kuahu keleawe.
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 A ua pii ae la ka nani o ke Akua o Iseraela, maluna ae o ke keruba kahi i kau ai ia maluna, i ka paepae o ka puka o ka hale. Kahea aku la ia i ke kanaka i aahuia i ke olona, ma kona aoao ka ipuinika o ka mea kakau;
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 A olelo mai la o Iehova ia ia E hele oe mawaena o ke kulanakauhale mawaenakonu o Ierusalema, a e kau i ka hoailona ma na lae o na kanaka e kaniuhu ana a e uwe ana no na mea e inainaia mawaenakonu ona.
“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 A i kela poe, i olelo ae la ia i ko'u lohe ana, E hahai oukou mahope ona mawaena o ke kulanakauhale, a e pepehi aku; mai noho a aloha ko oukou mau maka, aole hoi oukou e menemene;
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 E pepehi a make loa i na mea kahiko a me na mea hou, na kaikamahine. a me na kamalii uuku, a me na wahine: aka, mai hookokoke aku i kekahi kanaka, maluna ona ka hoailona; a e hoomaka no ma kuu keenakapu. Alaila hoomaka lakou ma na lunakahiko, na mea ma ke alo o ka hale.
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 Kauoha mai la oia ia lakou, E hoohaumia i ka hale, a e hoopiha i na pahale me na mea i pepehiia; a e hele aku. A hele aku lakou, a pepehi iho la iloko o ke kulanakauhale.
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 Eia keia, i ko lakou luku ana ia lakou, a koe mai au, moe au ilalo ke alo, i aku la hoi au, Auwe, e Iehova ka Haku! e luku mai anei oe i ke koena a pau o ka Iseraela i kou ninini ana i kou huhu maluna o Ierusalema?
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 Alaila olelo mai la oia ia'u, O ka hewa o ka ohana a Iseraela a me Iuda he nui wale ia, a ua paapu ka aina i ke koko, a ua piha ke kulanakauhale i ka hewa; no ka mea, ke i mai nei lakou, Ua haalele Iehova i ka honua, aole ike mai Iehova.
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 A owau nei la, aole e aloha kuu maka, aole au e menemene aku, aka, e uku au i ko lakou aoao maluna o ko lakou poo.
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 Aia o ke kanaka i aahuia me ke olona ia ia ka ipuinika ma kona aoao, ua hai mai oia ia mea, i mai la, Ua hana aku au e like me kou kauoha ana mai ia'u.
Then the man clothed in linen with the writing kit at his side reported back, “I have done as You commanded.”
