Ezekiela 9

1 Ary niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery teo anatrehako Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Manakeke ianareo, ry mpiambina ny tanàna, ka samia mitondra ny fiadiany eny an-tànany avy ho enti-mandringana.

And he called before my ears with a loud voice, saying, Let those come near that have charge to punish the city, and every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.

2 Ary, indreo, nisy lehilahy enina avy tamin’ ny lalana mankamin’ ny vavahady ambony, izay manatrika ny avaratra, sady samy nitondra ny fiasany fanorotoroana teny an-tanany avy izy; ary ny anankiray tamin’ ireo dia nitafy rongony fotsy, sady nisy fitoeran-dranomaintin’ ny mpanoratra teo am-balahany; ary niditra izy ireo ka nitsangana teo anilan’ ny alitara varahina.

And, behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which is turned toward the north, and every man with his weapon of destruction in his hand; and one man in the midst of them was clothed in linen, with a writer's materials by his side: and they went in, and placed themselves beside the copper altar.

3 Ary ny voninahitr’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely efa niakatra niala teo amin’ ny kerobima, izay nitoerany, ho eo amin’ ny tokonam-baravaran’ ny trano, ary Izy niantso ilay olona nitafy rongony, totsy izay nisy fitoeran-dranomaintin’ ny mpanoratra teo am-balahany.

And the glory of the God of Israel ascended up from the cherub, whereupon it had been, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer's materials by his side.

4 Ary hoy Jehovah taminy: Mandehana mamaky ny tanàna, dia Jerosalema, ka asio marika ny handrin’ ny olona izay misento sy mitaraina noho ny fahavetavetana rehetra atao eo aminy.

And the Lord said unto him, Pass through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and inscribe a mark upon the foreheads of the men who sigh and who complain because of all the abominations which are done in the midst of it.

5 Ary reko Izy nanao tamin’ ny sasany hoe: Mandehana manaraka azy ianareo hamaky ny tanàna, ka mameleza; aoka tsy hamindra fo aminy ny masonareo, ary aza ananana antra izy,

And to the others he said before my ears, Pass ye through the city after him, and smite: let your eye not look with pity, and do not spare;

6 Fa na lahy antitra, na zatovo, na virijina, na zaza madinika, na vehivavy, dia aringano avokoa; fa izay olona misy ilay marika ihany no aza kasihina ary atombohy hatreo amin’ ny fitoerako masìna izany. Dia nanomboka tamin’ ny lahy antitra izay teo anoloan’ ny trano ireo.

The aged, youth, and virgin, and little children, and women shall ye slay and destroy; but come not near any man upon whom the mark is; and at my sanctuary shall ye begin. Then they began with the ancient men who were before the house.

7 Ary hoy Izy taminy: Lotoy ny trano, ary fenoy faty ny kianja; dia mivoaha ianareo. Ary dia nivoaka izy ka namely ny tao an-tanàna.

And he said unto them, Make unclean the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go forth. And they went forth, and they smote in the city.

8 Ary raha mbola namely izy, ary izaho ihany no sisa teo, dia niankohoka aho ka nitaraina hoe: Indrisy! Jehovah Tompo ô! haringanao va ny sisa rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely amin’ izao ampidinanao ny fahatezeranao amin’ i Jerosalema izao?

And it came to pass, while they were smiting them, and I alone was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried out, and said, Ah Lord Eternal! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel when thou pourest out thy fury over Jerusalem?

9 Dia hoy Izy tamiko: Lehibe dia lehibe ny heloky ny taranak’ ny Isiraely sy ny Joda, ary feno ran’ olona nalatsaka ny tany, sady feno fitsarana miangatra ny tanàna, satria hoy izy: Jehovah efa nahafoy ny tany ary Jehovah tsy mahita.

Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and of Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood-guiltiness, and the city full of injustice; for they have said, The Lord hath forsaken the land, and the Lord seeth not.

10 Ary Izaho kosa, dia tsy hiantra ny masoko, sady tsy hamindra fo aho, fa hatsingeriko ho eo an-dohany ny nataony.

And as for me also, my eye shall not look with pity, and I will not spare; but I will bring their course upon their own head.

11 Ary, indro, ralehilahy, ilay nitafy rongony fotsy sady nisy fitoeran-dranomainty teo am-balahany, dia nitondra teny niverina nanao hoe: Efa vitako izay nandidianao ahy.

And, behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the writing materials by his side, brought back word, saying, I have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.
