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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
Yahweh 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 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,
To the others he said in my hearing, “Go through the city after him, and strike. Don’t let your eye spare, neither have pity.
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.
Kill utterly the old man, the young man, the virgin, little children and women; but don’t 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 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.
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 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?
While they were killing, and I was left, I fell on my face, and cried, and said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! Will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your wrath on 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 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, ‘Yahweh has forsaken the land, and Yahweh doesn’t see.’
10 Ary Izaho kosa, dia tsy hiantra ny masoko, sady tsy hamindra fo aho, fa hatsingeriko ho eo an-dohany ny nataony.
As for me also, my eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way on their 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.
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.”
