< Ezekiel 9 >
1 Kalpasanna, nangngegko nga impukkawna a kunana, “Umay koma iti siudad dagiti guardia, nga imetda ti igam a pangdadael.”
Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, “Cause those who are in charge of the city to draw near, each man with his destroying weapon in his hand.”
2 Ket pagammoan! Adda innem a lallaki a dimteng iti dalan iti akin-ngato a ruangan a nakasango iti amianan, tunggal maysa ket addaan iti igam a pagpatay. Ket adda lalaki iti nagtetengngaanda a nakakawes iti lino a nakasalikad iti alikamen a pagsurat ti eskriba. Simrekda ngarud ket nagtakderda iti abay ti bronse nga altar.
Behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lies toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand. One man in the middle of them was clothed in linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side. They went in, and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 Ket nagpangato ti dayag ti Dios ti Israel manipud iti ayan ti kerubim a sigud nga ayanna ket immakar iti ruangan ti balay. Ket pinukkawanna ti lalaki a nakakawes iti lino a nakasalikad iti alikamen a pagsurat ti eskriba.
The glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house; and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn by his side.
4 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Likawem ti entero a siudad—ti entero a Jerusalem—ket markaam ti muging dagiti lallaki nga agas-asug ken agsensennaay gapu kadagiti amin a nakarimrimon a mapaspasamak iti entero a siudad.”
The LORD said to him, “Go through the middle of the city, through the middle of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done within it.”
5 Ket nangngegko a nakisarita isuna kadagiti dadduma, kinunana, “Sarunnoenyo isuna a manglikmut iti siudad ket mangpapataykayo! Saanyo a kaasian dagiti tattao a makitayo, ket awan ti ispalenyo
To the others he said in my hearing, “Go through the city after him, and strike. Do not let your eye spare, neither have pity.
6 lallakay man, agtutubo, birhen, ub-ubbing wenno babbai man. Patayenyo ida amin! Ngem saanyo a sagsagiden ti siasinoman a namarkaan ti mugingna. Irugiyo iti santuariok!” Rinugianda ngarud kadagiti lallakay nga adda iti sangoanan ti balay.
Kill utterly the old man, the young man, the virgin, little children and women; but do not come near any man on whom is the mark. Begin at my sanctuary.” Then they began at the old men who were before the house.
7 Kinunana kadakuada, “Tulawanyo ti balay, ket punnoenyo ti paraanganna kadagiti natay. Inkayon!” Isu a napanda rinaut ti siudad.
He said to them, “Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!” They went out, and struck in the city.
8 Ket bayat a rarautenda daytoy, nadlawko a maymaysak a nabati, ket nagpaklebak ken nagpukkawak a kinunak, “O Apo a Yahweh! Dadaelem kadi amin a nabatbati iti Israel inton idissuormo iti pungtotmo iti Jerusalem?”
While they were killing, and I was left, I fell on my face, and cried, and said, “Ah Lord GOD! Will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your wrath on Jerusalem?”
9 Kinunana kaniak, “Nakaro unayen ti basol ti balay ti Israel ken Juda. Napno ti daga iti dara ken napno iti kinakillo ti siudad, agsipud ta kunada, 'Nalipatanen ni Yahweh ti daga' ken 'Saan a makita ni Yahweh!'
Then he said to me, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perversion; for they say, ‘The LORD has forsaken the land, and the LORD does not see.’
10 No kasta ngarud, saanakto a maasi kadakuada, ket saankonto ida nga ispalen. Ngem ketdi, iyegkonto amin dagitoy kadakuada.
As for me also, my eye will not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way on their head.”
11 Kalpasanna, nagsubli ti lalaki a nakakawes iti lino a nakasalikad iti alikamen a pagsurat ti eskriba. Impadamagna a kunana, “Naaramidko aminen nga imbilinmo.”
Behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, “I have done as you have commanded me.”
