Ezekiel 9
1 Pagkatapos, narinig ko siyang umiyak ng may malakas na tinig, at sinabi, “Hayaan ninyong umakyat ang mga bantay sa lungsod, may pangwasak na sandata ang bawat isa sa kaniyang kamay.”
And he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying: The visitations of the city are at hand, and every one hath a destroying weapon in his hand.
2 At masdan! Dumating ang anim na lalaki mula sa daanan ng itaas na tarangkahan na nakaharap sa hilaga, may pangpatay na sandata ang bawat isa sa kaniyang kamay. At mayroong isang lalaki sa kanilang kalagitnaan na nakasuot ng lino na may kasamang kagamitan ng eskriba sa kaniyang tagiliran. Kaya pumasok sila at tumayo sa tabi ng altar na tanso.
And behold six men came from the way of the upper gate, which looketh to the north: and each one had his weapon of destruction in his hand: and there was one man in the midst of them clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn at his reins: and they went in, and stood by the brazen altar.
3 At umakyat ang kaluwalhatian ng Diyos ng Israel mula sa kerubin na nasa bungad ng pintuan ng tahanan. At tinawag niya ang lalaking nakasuot ng lino na may kagamitan ng eskriba sa kaniyang tagiliran.
And the glory of the Lord of Israel went up from the cherub, upon which he was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man that was clothed with linen, and had a writer’s inkhorn at his loins.
4 Sinabi ni Yahweh sa kaniya, “Dumaan ka sa kalagitnaan ng lungsod, ang kalagitnaan ng Jerusalem, at gumawa ng isang palatandaan sa mga noo ng mga lalaking naghihinagpis at nagbubuntong-hininga tungkol sa lahat ng mga kasuklam-suklam na naganap sa kalagitnaan ng lungsod.”
And the Lord said to him: Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem: and mark Thau upon the foreheads of the men that sigh, and mourn for all the abominations that are committed in the midst thereof.
5 Pagkatapos, narinig ko siyang nagsalita sa iba, “Dumaan kayo sa lungsod na kasunod niya at pumatay! Huwag ninyong hayaang magkaroon ng awa ang inyong mga mata, at huwag mahabag
And to the others he said in my hearing: Go ye after him through the city, and strike: let not your eyes spare, nor be ye moved with pity.
6 maski alin sa matatanda, binata, dalaga, maliliit na mga bata o kababaihan. Patayin ninyo silang lahat! Ngunit huwag ninyong lapitan ang sinumang lalaki na may palatandaan sa kaniyang ulo. Magsimula kayo sa aking santuwaryo!” Kaya sinimulan nila sa matatandang lalaki na nasa harap ng bahay.
Utterly destroy old and young, maidens, children and women: but upon whomsoever you shall see Thau, kill him not, and begin ye at my sanctuary. So they began at the ancient men who mere before the house.
7 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Dungisan ninyo ang bahay, at punuin ang mga patyo nito ng mga patay. Magpatuloy kayo!” Kaya lumabas sila at sinalakay ang lungsod.
And he said to them: Defile the house, and ill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew them that were in the city.
8 At habang sinasalakay nila ito, natagpuan ko ang aking sariling nag-iisa at nagpatirapa ako at umiyak at sinabi, “O, Panginoong Yahweh! Lilipulin mo ba ang lahat ng natira sa Israel sa pagbubuhos ng iyong matinding galit sa Jerusalem?”
And the slaughter being ended I was left: and I fell upon my face, and crying, I said: Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God, wilt thou then destroy all the remnant of Israel, by pouring out thy fury upon Jerusalem?
9 Sinabi niya sa akin, “Ang kasalanan ng sambahayan ng Israel at Juda ay napakalaki. Ang lupain ay puno ng dugo at ang lungsod ay puno ng kabuktutan, yamang sinasabi nila, 'Kinalimutan ni Yahweh ang lupain,' at 'Hindi na tinitingnan ni Yahweh!'
And he said to me: The iniquity of the house of Israel, and of Juda, is exceeding great, and the land is filled with blood, and the city is filled with perverseness: for they have said: The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and the Lord seeth not.
10 Kung gayon, hindi titingin nang may awa ang aking mata, at hindi ko sila kaaawaan. Sa halip, dadalhin ko ang lahat ng mga ito sa kanilang mga ulo.”
Therefore neither shall my eye spare, nor will I have pity: I will requite their way upon their head.
11 At masdan ninyo! Bumalik ang taong nakasuot ng lino na may kagamitan ng eskriba sa kaniyang tagiliran. Ibinalita niya at sinabi, “Nagawa ko na ang lahat ng iyong ipinag-uutos.”
And behold the man that was clothed with linen, that had the inkhorn at his back, returned the word, saying: I have done as thou hast commanded me.
