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.

Then I heard him shout out with a loud voice, “Start the attack, you who are in charge of punishing Jerusalem! Pick up your weapons!”

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.

I watched as six men approached from the upper gate that faces north. All of them were carrying battle axes. There was another man with them. He was dressed in linen and had a scribe's writing kit at his side. They entered and stood next to 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.

The glory of the God of Israel rose from its usual place on the cherubim and went over to the Temple entrance. The Lord called out to the man dressed in linen with the writing kit,

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.

“Go through the whole the city of Jerusalem and place a mark on the foreheads of those who sighing and mourning at all the disgusting sins that are done there.”

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.

Then I heard him tell the others, “Follow him all through the city and start killing people. Don't be kind or merciful to anyone!

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 the old men, the young men and girls, the women and children, but do not go anywhere near those who have the mark. Start at my sanctuary.” So they started by killing the elders who were in front of the Temple.

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.

Then he told them, “Make the Temple unclean and fill the courtyards with dead bodies. Go ahead and do it!” So they went and started killing all through 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?

While they were busy killing people, I was left by myself. I fell facedown to the ground and cried out, “Lord God, when you pour out your anger on Jerusalem, are you going to destroy everyone who's left in Israel?”

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.

“The sins of the people of Israel and Judah are really terrible,” he replied. “The whole country is full of murderers, and those living in the city are criminals. They're saying, ‘The Lord has given up on our country. He can't see what we're doing.’

10 Oo aniguna indhahaygu uma tudhi doonaan, oo innaba uma aan nixi doono, laakiinse jidkooda ayaan madaxooda kaga abaalmarin doonaa.

But I certainly won't be kind to them or have mercy on them. I will make sure they suffer the consequences of what they've done.”

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.

Then the man in linen with the writing kit returned and reported, “I've done what you told me to do.”
