< Yexesqeel 9 >

1 Markaasuu dhegahayga cod weyn ugu qayliyey, isagoo leh, Kuwa magaalada u taliya soo dhowee, iyadoo ninkood kastaaba uu hubkiisa uu wax ku baabbi'iyo gacanta ku haysto.
And he cried out in my ears with a loud voice, saying: “The visitations of the city have drawn near, and each one has equipment for killing in his hand.”
2 Oo bal eeg, lix nin baa waxay ka yimaadeen iriddii sare xaggeeda taasoo xagga woqooyi u sii jeedda, oo midkood kastaaba wuxuu gacanta ku haystay hubka uu wax ku laayo, oo waxaa dhexdooda joogay mid dhar wanaagsan qaba, oo dhinacana waxaa ugu xidhnaa geeskii khadka kan wax qora. Markaasay galeen oo waxay ag istaageen meeshii allabariga ee naxaasta ahayd.
And behold, six men were approaching from the way of the upper gate, which looks to the north. And each one had equipment for killing in his hand. Also, one man in their midst was clothed with linen, and an instrument for writing was at his waist. And they entered and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 Kolkaasaa ammaantii Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil kor bay uga kacday keruubkii ay kor saarnayd, oo waxay tagtay guriga marinkiisii, oo wuxuu u yeedhay ninkii dharkii wanaagsanaa qabay oo dhiniciisa ku sitay geeskii khadka kan wax qora.
And the glory of the Lord of Israel was taken up, from the cherub upon which he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called out to the man who was clothed with linen and had an instrument for writing at his waist.
4 Markaasaa Rabbigu isagii ku yidhi, Magaalada Yeruusaalem dhexdeeda mar, oo waxaad calaamad ku dhigtaa jaaha dadka u taahaya oo u qaylinaya waxyaalaha karaahiyada ah oo dhexdeeda lagu sameeyo oo dhan.
And the Lord said to him: “Cross through the middle of the city, in the center of Jerusalem, and seal a Tau upon the foreheads of the grieving men, who are mourning over all the abominations which are being committed in its midst.”
5 Oo kuwii kalena wuxuu anigoo maqlaya ku yidhi, Isaga dabadiis magaalada dhex mara oo wada laaya, oo indhihiinnu yaanay u tudhin, oo innaba ha u nixina.
And he said to the others, in my hearing: “Cross through the city after him, and strike! Your eye shall not be lenient, and you shall not take pity.
6 Oo waxaad wada laysaan odayaasha, iyo barbaarrada, iyo gabdhaha, iyo carruurta yaryar, iyo naagahaba, laakiinse innaba ha u dhowaanina nin alla ninkii ay calaamaddu ku taal, oo waxaad ka bilowdaan meeshayda allabariga. Markaasay waxay ka bilaabeen raggii odayaasha ahaa oo guriga hortiisa joogay.
Kill, even to utter destruction, old men, young men, and virgins, little ones, and women. But all upon whom you see the Tau, you shall not kill. And begin from my sanctuary.” Therefore, they began with the men among the elders, who were before the face of the house.
7 Oo wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Guriga nijaaseeya, oo barxadahana meydad ka buuxiya, oo haddana baxa. Markaasay bexeen oo magaaladii dad bay ku dhex laayeen.
And he said to them: “Defile the house, and fill its courts with the slain! Go forth!” And they went forth and struck down those who were in the city.
8 Oo intay dadka laynayeen oo aan anigu hadhay ayaan wejiga u dhacay, oo intaan qayliyey ayaan idhi, Sayidow, Rabbiyow, ma waxaad doonaysaa inaad kuwa reer binu Israa'iil ku hadha oo dhan ku wada baabbi'isid cadhadaada aad Yeruusaalem ku dul shubayso?
And when the slaughter was completed, I remained. And I fell upon my face, and crying out, I said: “Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! Will you now destroy the entire remnant of Israel, by pouring out your fury upon Jerusalem?”
9 Markaasuu igu yidhi, Dadka dalka Israa'iil iyo dadka dalka Yahuudahba xumaantoodu aad iyo aad bay u badan tahay, oo dalkiina dhiig baa ka buuxsamay, oo magaaladiina qalloocnaan baa ka buuxsantay, waayo, waxay isyidhaahdaan, Rabbigu dhulka wuu ka tegey, oo Rabbigu waxba ma arko.
And he said to me: “The iniquity of the house of Israel, and of Judah, is vast and exceedingly great, and the land has been filled with blood, and the city has been filled with what is abhorrent. For they have said: ‘The Lord has forsaken the earth,’ and, ‘The Lord does not see.’
10 Oo aniguna indhahaygu uma tudhi doonaan, oo innaba uma aan nixi doono, laakiinse jidkooda ayaan madaxooda kaga abaalmarin doonaa.
Therefore, my eye will not be lenient, and I will not take pity. I will repay their own way upon their head.”
11 Oo bal eeg, ninkii dharkii wanaagsanaa qabay oo geeska khadka dhinaciisa ku sitay ayaa war keenay, oo wuxuu yidhi, Wixii aad igu amartay ayaan sameeyey.
And behold, the man who was clothed with linen, who had a writing instrument at his back, responded a word, saying: “I have done just as you instructed me.”
