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 called before my ears with a loud voice, saying, Let those come near that have charge to punish the city, and 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 direction of the upper gate, which is turned toward the north, and every man with his weapon of destruction in his hand; and one man in the midst of them was clothed in linen, with a writer's materials by his side: and they went in, and placed themselves beside the copper 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 ascended up from the cherub, whereupon it had been, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer's materials 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, Pass through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and inscribe a mark upon the foreheads of the men who sigh and who complain because of all the abominations which are done in the midst of it.
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 before my ears, Pass ye through the city after him, and smite: let your eye not look with pity, and do not spare;
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.
The aged, youth, and virgin, and little children, and women shall ye slay and destroy; but come not near any man upon whom the mark is; and at my sanctuary shall ye begin. Then they began with the ancient men who 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, Make unclean the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go forth. And they went forth, and they smote 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 smiting them, and I alone was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried out, and said, Ah Lord Eternal! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel when thou pourest out thy fury over 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 of Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood-guiltiness, and the city full of injustice; for they have said, The Lord hath forsaken the land, 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.”
And as for me also, my eye shall not look with pity, and I will not spare; but I will bring their course upon their own 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 in linen, who had the writing materials by his side, brought back word, saying, I have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.
