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.”
He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his 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 higher gate, which lies toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's ink holder by his side: and they went in, and stood beside 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 God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's ink holder by his side;
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 unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done 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 mine hearing, Go all of you after him through the city, and strike: let not your eye spare, neither have all of you 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.
Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were 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 unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go all of you forth. And they went forth, and slew 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 it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your 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!'
Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD has forsaken the earth, and the LORD sees 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.”
And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense 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 clothed with linen, which had the ink holder by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as you have commanded me.
