इजकिएल 9
1 तब उहाँले ठुलो सोरमा कराएर यसो भन्नुभएको मैले सुनें, “रक्षकहरू हरेकले आफ्ना हातमा नष्ट गर्ने हतियार लिएर सहरमा आऊन् ।”
He cried also in my ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every 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 higher gate, which lieth towards the north, and every man a slaughter-weapon in his hand; and one man among them [was] clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn 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 had gone up from the cherub on which he was, to the threshhold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, who [had] the writer's inkhorn 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 the LORD 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 that sigh and that cry for 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 after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither 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 ।
Slay utterly old [and] young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom [is] the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the elderly 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 slew 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 slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury 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 said he to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah [is] exceeding great, and the land [is] full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
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, neither will I have pity, [but] I will recompense 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 with linen, who [had] the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
