Ezekieli 9
1 Kisha nikamsikia akiita kwa sauti kubwa akisema, “Walete wasimamizi wa mji hapa, kila mmoja akiwa na silaha mkononi mwake.”
And he criede in myn eeris with greet vois, and seide, The visityngis of the citee han neiyed, and ech man hath in his hond an instrument of sleyng.
2 Nami nikaona watu sita wakija toka upande wa lango la juu, linalotazama kaskazini kila mmoja na silaha za kuangamiza mkononi mwake. Pamoja nao alikuwepo mtu aliyekuwa amevaa mavazi ya kitani safi, naye alikuwa na vifaa vya mwandishi akiwa amevishikilia upande mmoja. Wakaingia ndani ya Hekalu wakasimama pembeni mwa madhabahu ya shaba.
And lo! sixe men camen fro the weie of the hiyere yate, that biholdith to the north, and the instrument of deth of ech man was in his hond; also o man in the myddis of hem was clothid with lynnun clothis, and a pennere of a writere at hise reynes; and thei entriden, and stoden bisidis the brasun auter.
3 Basi utukufu wa Mungu wa Israeli ukaondoka hapo juu ya makerubi, ulikokuwa umekaa, ukaenda kwenye kizingiti cha Hekalu. Ndipo Bwana akamwita yule mtu aliyevaa kitani safi aliyekuwa na vifaa vya mwandishi akiwa amevishikilia upande wake mmoja,
And the glorie of the Lord of Israel was takun vp fro cherub, which glorie was on it, to the threisfold of the hous; and the Lord clepide the man that was clothid with lynun clothis, and hadde a pennere of a writere in hise leendis.
4 akamwambia, “Pita katika mji wote wa Yerusalemu ukaweke alama juu ya vipaji vya nyuso za wale watu wanaohuzunika na kuomboleza kwa sababu ya machukizo yote yanayotendeka katika mji huu.”
And the Lord seide to hym, Passe thou bi the myddis of the citee, in the myddis of Jerusalem, and marke thou Thau on the forhedis of men weilynge and sorewynge on alle abhomynaciouns that ben doon in the myddis therof.
5 Nikiwa ninasikia, akawaambia wale wengine, “Mfuateni anapopita katika mji wote mkiua, pasipo huruma wala masikitiko.
And he seide to hem in myn heryng, Go ye thorouy the citee, and sue ye hym, and smytte ye; youre iye spare not, nether do ye merci.
6 Waueni wazee, vijana wa kiume na wa kike, wanawake na watoto, lakini msimguse mtu yeyote mwenye alama. Anzieni katika mahali pangu patakatifu.” Kwa hiyo wakaanza na wale wazee waliokuwa mbele ya Hekalu.
Sle ye til to deth, an eld man, a yong man, and a virgyn, a litil child, and wymmen; but sle ye not ony man, on whom ye seen Thau; and bigynne ye at my seyntuarie. Therfore thei bigunnen at the eldere men, that weren bifore the face of the hous.
7 Ndipo akawaambia, “Linajisini Hekalu na mkazijaze kumbi zake maiti za wale waliouawa. Nendeni!” Kwa hiyo wakaenda wakaanza kuua watu mjini kote.
And he seide to hem, Defoule ye the hous, and fille ye the hallis with slayn men; go ye out. And thei yeden out, and killiden hem that weren in the citee.
8 Wakati walikuwa wakiwaua watu, nami nilikuwa nimeachwa peke yangu, nikaanguka kifudifudi, nikapiga kelele nikisema, “Ee Bwana Mwenyezi! Je, utaangamiza mabaki yote ya Israeli, katika kumwagwa huku kwa ghadhabu yako juu ya Yerusalemu?”
And lo! whanne the sleyng was fillid, Y was left. And Y felle doun on my face, and Y criede, and seide, Alas! alas! alas! Lord God, therfor whether thou schalt leese alle remenauntis of Israel, and schalt schede out thi stronge veniaunce on Jerusalem?
9 Bwana akanijibu, “Dhambi ya nyumba ya Israeli na Yuda imekuwa kubwa mno kupita kiasi, nchi imejaa umwagaji damu na mjini kumejaa udhalimu. Kwani wamesema, ‘Bwana ameiacha nchi, Bwana hauoni.’
And he seide to me, The wickidnesse of the hous of Israel and of Juda is ful greet, and the lond is fillid of bloodis, and the citee is fillid with turnyng awei; for thei seiden, The Lord hath forsake the lond, and the Lord seeth not.
10 Kwa hiyo sitawahurumia wala kuwaachilia lakini nitaleta juu ya vichwa vyao, yale waliyoyatenda.”
Therfor and myn iye schal not spare, nether Y schal do merci; Y schal yelde the weie of hem on the heed of hem.
11 Ndipo mtu yule aliyekuwa amevaa nguo ya kitani safi na vifaa vya mwandishi akiwa amevishikilia upande wake mmoja, akarudi na kutoa taarifa akisema, “Nimefanya kama ulivyoniagiza.”
And lo! the man that was clothid in lynun clothis, that hadde a pennere in his bak, answeride a word, and seide, Y haue do, as thou comaundidist to me.
