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 those who are in charge of 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 ।
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 तब इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको महिमाचाहिं करूबहरूदेखि मास्‍तिर हटेर मन्‍दिरको सँघारमा पुगिसकेको थियो । तब परमप्रभुले त्‍यो सूती कपडा लगाएको र कलम भिरेको मानिसलाई आफ्‍नो छेउमा बोलाउनुभयो ।
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 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 ।”
The LORD 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 मैले सुनिरहँदा उहाँले अरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “उसको पछिपछि सहरभरि जाओ र मार । तिमीहरूका आँखामा दया आउन नदेओ, र नछोड,
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 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, 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 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “मन्‍दिर बिटुलो पार, र त्‍यसका चोकहरूलाई लाशहरूले भर । जाओ!” यसैले तिनीहरू गए र सहरलाई आक्रमण गरे ।
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 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?”
While they were killing, and I was left, I fell on my face, and cried, and said, “Ah Lord GOD! Will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your wrath on 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 perversion; for they say, ‘The LORD has forsaken the land, and the LORD doesn’t see.’
10 यसैले मेरा आँखामा दया हुनेछैनँ, र म तिनीहरूलाई छोड्‌नेछैनँ । बरु म ती सबै तिनीहरूकै शिरमा खन्‍याइदिनेछु ।”
As for me also, my eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way on their head.”
11 हेर, त्‍यो सूती कपडा लगाएको र कम्‍मरमा कलम भिरेको मानिस आऐ । तिनले यसो भने, “तपाईंले मलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम मैले गरेको छु ।”
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.”
