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 Yahweh call out loudly, “[You men who are going to punish this city, ] bring here the guards of the city, each carrying a weapon.”

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.

Then I saw six men coming from the north gate of the temple area. Each one was carrying a weapon. With them was a man wearing a white linen robe. [carried] at his side a case containing things to write with. They [all] came into the temple 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.

[Then] the (glory/dazzling light) [that symbolized the presence] of the God of Israel rose up from above the four winged creatures and moved to the entrance of the temple. Then Yahweh called to the man wearing the linen robe,

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 said to him, “Go throughout Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who are very sad [DOU] because of the detestable things that are being done inside the city.”

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.

While I was listening, he said to the other six men, “Follow the man wearing the white robe, and kill people. Do not pity them or act mercifully toward them.

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.

Slaughter old men, young men and women, older women and children, but do not harm any of those who have that mark on their forehead. Start at my temple.” So they began by killing the elders who were [worshiping idols] 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 Yahweh said to those men, “Pollute the temple by filling the [with the corpses of those whom] you kill! Start now!” So they went out and starting killing people throughout 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 doing that, I was left alone. I prostrated myself on the ground and cried out, “Yahweh my Lord, are you going to get rid of all the people of Israel and Judah who are still alive, while you are severely punishing [MTY] [the people of] 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.

He replied, “The sins of the people [MTY] of Israel and Judah are extremely great. People are murdered [MTY] everywhere [in this country], and this city is full of [people who act] unjustly. They say, ‘Yahweh has abandoned this country, and he does not [what we are doing].’

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

[So] I will not pity them or act mercifully toward them. I will do to them the evil things that they have done to other people.”

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 wearing the linen robe returned, saying, “I have done what you commanded me to do.”
