Ezekiela 9
1 Aa le napaza’e am-piarañanañañe an-tsofiko ao ty hoe, Ampombao mb’etoy o mpifehe’ ty rova toio, songa minday fialiañe mpijoy am-pità’e.
Then crying out in my hearing in a loud voice, he said, Let the overseers of the town come near, every man armed.
2 Le ingo te nimb’ etoy ty lahilahy eneñe boak’ amy lalambey ambone mitolike mañavaratsey, songa indaty ninday fialiam-panjamanañe am-pità’e, ty raike nisikin-damba leny reketse tsifan-drano-mainte añ’ila’e eo; aa le nimoak’ ao iereo nijohañe marine’ i kitrely torisìkey eo.
And six men came from the way of the higher doorway looking to the north, every man with his axe in his hand: and one man among them was clothed in linen, with a writer's inkpot at his side. And they went in and took their places by the brass altar.
3 Le nionjoñe boak’ an-toe’e ambone’ o kerobeo ty engen’ Añahare’ Israele naho nivotrak’ an-tsarirañe eo vaho kinoi’e indaty misaroñe lamba-leny minday tsifan-drano-mainte añ’ ila’eoy;
And the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the winged ones on which it was resting, to the doorstep of the house. And crying out to the man clothed in linen who had the writer's inkpot at his side,
4 le hoe t’Iehovà tama’e, Akia rangao i rovay, maneñateñà Ierosalaime, vaho tomboho alama ze ondaty miselekaiñe naho mitoreo ty amo hativañe anoeñe añivo’eo.
The Lord said to him, Go through the town, through the middle of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the brows of the men who are sorrowing and crying for all the disgusting things which are done in it.
5 Le hoe re amo ila’eo, am-pitsanoñako, Akia oriho re miranga amy rovay naho lafao; ko imetea’o hiheveam-pihaino, vaho ko mitretrè.
And to these he said in my hearing, Go through the town after him using your axes: do not let your eyes have mercy, and have no pity:
6 Zamano ty bey naho o ajalahio naho o somondrarao, o ajajao vaho o rakembao, fe ko harineañe ze tinombok’ alama; mifotora an-toeko miavak’ eo. Aa le nafoto’ iareo am’ondatio, amo androanavy aolo’ i kivohoio.
Give up to destruction old men and young men and virgins, little children and women: but do not come near any man who has the mark on him: and make a start at my holy place. So they made a start with the old men who were before the house.
7 Le hoe re am’ iereo, Leoro i anjombay vaho atsafo an-dolo’ o zinamañeo i kiririsay; mionjona! Aa le nimb’eo iereo nampibaibay amy rovay ao.
And he said to them, Make the house unclean, make the open places full of dead: go forward and send destruction on the town.
8 Ie amy zao, naho fa zinama’ iareo ondatio, izaho avao ty eo, le nihotrak’ an-tareheko iraho nipazake ty hoe, Hoke! ry Iehovà Talè! ho fonga rotsahe’o hao ty sehanga’ Israele ami’ty fampidoaña’o am’ Ierosalaime o haviñera’oo?
Now while they were doing so, and I was untouched, I went down on my face, and crying out, I said, Ah, Lord! will you give all the rest of Israel to destruction in letting loose your wrath on Jerusalem?
9 Aa hoe re amako, Losotse o hakeo’ anjomba’ Israele naho Iehodào, naho milopolopo lio i taney vaho lifo-keloke i rovay, ie nanoe’ iereo ty hoe, Naforintse’ Iehovà ty tane toy, vaho tsy mahavazoho t’Iehovà.
Then he said to me, The sin of the children of Israel and Judah is very, very great, and the land is full of blood and the town full of evil ways: for they say, The Lord has gone away from the land, and the Lord does not see.
10 Aa naho izaho, tsy hiheve ty masoko, tsy hitretrè, fa hondrohako am’iereo o sata’ iareoo.
And as for me, my eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity, but I will send the punishment of their ways on their heads.
11 Hehek’ amy zao indaty misaroñe lamba-leny reketse tsifan-drano-mainte añ’ila’eoy, namolily ty hoe, Nanoeko i namantoha’o ahiy.
Then the man clothed in linen, who had the inkpot at his side, came back and said, I have done what you gave me orders to do.
