< इजकिएल 9 >
1 तब उहाँले ठुलो सोरमा कराएर यसो भन्नुभएको मैले सुनें, “रक्षकहरू हरेकले आफ्ना हातमा नष्ट गर्ने हतियार लिएर सहरमा आऊन् ।”
Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause ye those who have charge over the city to draw near, each man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
2 तब हेर, छ जना मानिसहरू हरेकले आ-आफ्नो हातमा हत्या गर्ने हतियार लिएर उत्तरतिर फर्केको माथिल्लो ढोकाबाट आए । तिनीहरूका माझमा सूती कपडा लगाएका र कलम भिरेका एक जना मानिस थिए । यसरी तिनीहरू भित्र गए र काँसाको वेदीको छेउमा खडा भए ।
And, behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lies toward the north, each man with his slaughter weapon in his hand, and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen, with a writer's case by his side. And they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.
3 तब इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको महिमाचाहिं करूबहरूदेखि मास्तिर हटेर मन्दिरको सँघारमा पुगिसकेको थियो । तब परमप्रभुले त्यो सूती कपडा लगाएको र कलम भिरेको मानिसलाई आफ्नो छेउमा बोलाउनुभयो ।
And the glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub, upon which it was, to the threshold of the house, and he called to the man clothed in linen who had the writer's case by his side.
4 परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “सहरको बिचबाट— यरूशलेमको बिचबाट भएर जा र सहरमा गरिएका सबै घिनलाग्दा कामहरू देखेर शोक र विलाप गर्ने सबै मानिसहरूका निदारहरूमा एउटा चिन्ह लगा ।”
And Jehovah said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men who sigh and who cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst of it.
5 मैले सुनिरहँदा उहाँले अरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “उसको पछिपछि सहरभरि जाओ र मार । तिमीहरूका आँखामा दया आउन नदेओ, र नछोड,
And to the others he said in my hearing, Go ye through the city after him, and smite. Let not your eye spare, nor have ye pity.
6 वृद्ध मानिस, जवान मानिस, कन्या, साना बालकहरू र स्त्रीहरू । ती सबैलाई मार! तर निधारमा त्यो चिन्ह भएको कसैलाई पनि नछोओ । मेरो पवित्रस्थानदेखि नै सुरु गर ।” यसैले मन्दिरको सामु भएका धर्म-गुरुहरूदेखि नै तिनीहरूले सुरु गरे ।
Kill utterly the old man, the young man, and the virgin, and little sons, and women, but come not near any man upon whom is the mark. And begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men who were before the house.
7 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “मन्दिर बिटुलो पार, र त्यसका चोकहरूलाई लाशहरूले भर । जाओ!” यसैले तिनीहरू गए र सहरलाई आक्रमण गरे ।
And he said to them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go ye forth. And they went forth, and smote in the city.
8 जब तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई आक्रमण गर्दैथिए, र मचाहिं एक्लै छोडिएँ, तब घोप्टो परें र रुँदै भनें, “हे परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, यरूशलेममाथि आफ्नो क्रोध खन्याउनुहुँदा इस्राएलका बचेकाहरू जम्मैलाई तपाईंले सर्वनाश गर्नुहुनेछ?”
And it came to pass, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah lord Jehovah! Will thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy wrath upon Jerusalem?
9 उहाँले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “इस्राएल र यहूदाका घरानाको पाप असाध्य ठुलो छ । देश रक्तपातले भरिएको छ, र सहरचाहिं विकृतिले भरिपूर्ण छ, किनकि तिनीहरू भन्छन्, 'परमप्रभुले देशलाई त्याग्नुभएको छ, र ‘परमप्रभुले देख्नुहुन्न' ।
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 perverseness. For they say, Jehovah has forsaken the land, and Jehovah does not see.
10 यसैले मेरा आँखामा दया हुनेछैनँ, र म तिनीहरूलाई छोड्नेछैनँ । बरु म ती सबै तिनीहरूकै शिरमा खन्याइदिनेछु ।”
And as for me also, my eye shall not spare, nor will I have pity, but I will bring their way upon their head.
11 हेर, त्यो सूती कपडा लगाएको र कम्मरमा कलम भिरेको मानिस आऐ । तिनले यसो भने, “तपाईंले मलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम मैले गरेको छु ।”
And, behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the writing case by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou have commanded me.
