Izikeli 9

1 Hagi anante Ra Anumzamo'a ranke huno amanage nehige'na antahi'noe, Vahe'ma zamahe nefri'za vahera huzmantenke'za zamazampina ha' zana erine'za rankumapina eho.

Then I heard him shout out with a loud voice, “Start the attack, you who are in charge of punishing Jerusalem! Pick up your weapons!”

2 Anage hige'na kogeno, anagamu noti kaziga kuma kafama me'nea kazigati 6si'a vene'neramina vahe'ma zamahe fri ha'zana zamazampina eriri eriri hu'za neazageno, anampina efeke kukena hu'nemo afafafina avontafe'ma kre vogisi me'negeno e'ne. Hagi ana vahe'mo'za agu'afi ufre'za bronsire itamofo asoparega uoti'naze.

I watched as six men approached from the upper gate that faces north. All of them were carrying battle axes. There was another man with them. He was dressed in linen and had a scribe's writing kit at his side. They entered and stood next to the bronze altar.

3 Hagi ana'ma hazageno'a Israeli vahe Anumzamofo hihamu masazamo'a serabimiema nehaza ankeronte'ma me'neretira, marerino mono nomofo kafante vu'ne. Ana higeno efeke kukena hu'neno, afafafima avontafe bogisima anakinte'nea nera Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno asami'ne,

The glory of the God of Israel rose from its usual place on the cherubim and went over to the Temple entrance. The Lord called out to the man dressed in linen with the writing kit,

4 Jerusalemi kuma agu'afi vano nehunka, kasrino himnage'ma hu'nea kefo avu'ava zama nehaza zanku'ma aza'o avesra nehuno, zavi'ma netea vahe'mofo kokovitera avame'zana antetere huo huno asmi'ne.

“Go through the whole the city of Jerusalem and place a mark on the foreheads of those who sighing and mourning at all the disgusting sins that are done there.”

5 Hagi nentahugeno Ra Anumzamo'a mago'a nagara amanage huno zamasami'ne, Amefi avaririta rankumapina nevuta, mago vahekura tamasunkura huzmanteta ozamatreta zamahe friho huno hu'ne.

Then I heard him tell the others, “Follow him all through the city and start killing people. Don't be kind or merciful to anyone!

6 Hagi maka ozafanafama, kasefa vene'nema, kasefa mofa'nema, neone mofavreramima, a'neraminena maka zamahe hana hiho. Hianagi avame'zama kokovite'ma me'nea vahera zamavakora osiho. Ra mono nomofo avugama mani'naza vaheteti agafa huteta viho.

Kill the old men, the young men and girls, the women and children, but do not go anywhere near those who have the mark. Start at my sanctuary.” So they started by killing the elders who were in front of the Temple.

7 Anama huteno'a mago'ane amanage hu'ne, Zamahesaza vahetamimofo zamavufaga erita mono nompi ome ante aviteta ana nona eri pehena hiho huno nezmasamino, ko atiramita viho huno hu'ne. Anagema hige'za atiramiza rankumapi nevu'za, vahetmina zamahe'za vu'naze.

Then he told them, “Make the Temple unclean and fill the courtyards with dead bodies. Go ahead and do it!” So they went and started killing all through the city.

8 Hagi ana vahetmima zamahe'zama nevazage'na nagrake mani'nena navugosaregati mopafi mase'na amanage hu'noe, Ra Anumzana kagra Anumza mani'nane! Hagi Jerusalemi kumapi vahe'ma karimpama ahe'zmantenkama zamazeri havizama nehanke'zama osi'ama maniza Israeli vahera maka zamahe hana hugahampi?

While they were busy killing people, I was left by myself. I fell facedown to the ground and cried out, “Lord God, when you pour out your anger on Jerusalem, are you going to destroy everyone who's left in Israel?”

9 Anage hugeno Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne, Israeli vahe'ene Juda vahe'mofo kumi'mo'a ome rankrerfa hie. Ama mopafina vahe koramo'a avitegeno, rankumapina agraguke'ma antahino vahe'ma azeri savri'ma hu ava'ava zamo'a avitene. Na'ankure zamagra amanage hu'za nehaze, Ra Anumzamo'a ama mopa amefi hunemino, nonke hu'za nehaze.

“The sins of the people of Israel and Judah are really terrible,” he replied. “The whole country is full of murderers, and those living in the city are criminals. They're saying, ‘The Lord has given up on our country. He can't see what we're doing.’

10 E'ina hu'negu Nagra mago vahera nasunkura huzmante'na ozmatregahue. Hianagi maka zamavu'zamava'ma hu'naza zamofo avamente nona'a huzmantetere hugahue.

But I certainly won't be kind to them or have mercy on them. I will make sure they suffer the consequences of what they've done.”

11 Anagema hutegeno'a efeke kukenama hu'neno afafafima avontafe bogisima rente'nea ne'mo'a amanage eme hu'ne, huo hunkama kema nasmina kante ante'na, ana zantamina hu vagare'noe huno Anumzamofona eme asmi'ne.

Then the man in linen with the writing kit returned and reported, “I've done what you told me to do.”
