Ezekiel 9
1 Mo gbọ́ ti ó kígbe ní ohùn rara pé, “Mú àwọn olùṣọ́ ìlú súnmọ́ itòsí, kí olúkúlùkù wọn mú ohun ìjà olóró lọ́wọ́.”
Then I heard Him call out in a loud voice, saying, “Draw near, O executioners of the city, each with a weapon of destruction in hand.”
2 Lójú ẹsẹ̀ ni ọkùnrin mẹ́fà jáde láti ẹnu-ọ̀nà òkè tó kọjú sí ìhà àríwá, olúkúlùkù pẹ̀lú ohun ìjà olóró lọ́wọ́ wọn. Ọkùnrin kan tó wọ aṣọ funfun gbòò wa láàrín wọn, pẹ̀lú ohun ìkọ̀wé lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ̀. Gbogbo wọn sì dúró lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ pẹpẹ idẹ.
And I saw six men coming from the direction of the Upper Gate, which faces north, each with a weapon of slaughter in his hand. With them was another man clothed in linen who had a writing kit at his side. And they came in and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 Ògo Ọlọ́run Israẹli sì gòkè kúrò lórí kérúbù, níbi tó wà tẹ́lẹ̀ lọ sí ibi ìloro tẹmpili. Nígbà náà ni Olúwa pe ọkùnrin tó wọ aṣọ funfun náà tí ó sì ní ohun ìkọ̀wé lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ̀.
Then the glory of the God of Israel rose from above the cherubim, where it had been, and moved to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed in linen who had the writing kit at his side.
4 Ó sì sọ fún un pé, “La àárín ìlú Jerusalẹmu já, kí ìwọ sì fi àmì síwájú orí gbogbo àwọn tó ń kẹ́dùn, tó sì ń sọkún nítorí ohun ìríra tí wọn ń ṣe láàrín rẹ̀.”
“Go throughout the city of Jerusalem,” said the LORD, “and put a mark on the foreheads of the men sighing and groaning over all the abominations committed there.”
5 Bí mo ṣe ń fetí sí èyí, O tún sọ fún àwọn yòókù pé, “Tẹ̀lé ọkùnrin náà lọ sí àárín ìlú láti pa láì dá sí àti láì ṣàánú rárá.
And as I listened, He said to the others, “Follow him through the city and start killing; do not show pity or spare anyone!
6 Ẹ pa arúgbó àti ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin, ẹ pa ọlọ́mọge, obìnrin àti ọmọ kéékèèké, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ má ṣe fi ọwọ́ kan àwọn tó ní àmì. Ẹ bẹ̀rẹ̀ láti ibi mímọ́.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn àgbàgbà tó wà níwájú tẹmpili.
Slaughter the old men, the young men and maidens, the women and children; but do not go near anyone who has the mark. Now begin at My sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the temple.
7 Nígbà náà lo sọ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ sọ tẹmpili náà di àìmọ́, kí òkú sì kún àgbàlá náà. Ẹ lọ!” Wọ́n jáde síta, wọ́n sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í pa ènìyàn láàrín ìlú.
Then He told them, “Defile the temple and fill the courts with the slain. Go forth!” So they went out and began killing throughout the city.
8 Èmi nìkan ló ṣẹ́kù nígbà tí wọ́n lọ pa àwọn ènìyàn, mo dójú mi bolẹ̀, mo kígbe pé, “Háà! Olúwa Olódùmarè! Ìwọ yóò ha pa ìyókù Israẹli nípa dída ìbínú gbígbóná rẹ sórí Jerusalẹmu?”
While they were killing, I was left alone. And I fell facedown and cried out, “Oh, Lord GOD, when You pour out Your wrath on Jerusalem, will You destroy the entire remnant of Israel?”
9 Ó dá mi lóhùn pé, “Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ilé Israẹli àti Juda pọ gidigidi; ilé wọn kún fún ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀ àti àìṣòótọ́. Wọ́n ní, ‘Olúwa tí kọ ilẹ̀ náà sílẹ̀; Olúwa kò sì rí wa.’
He replied, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great. The land is full of bloodshed, and the city is full of perversity. For they say, ‘The LORD has forsaken the land; the LORD does not see.’
10 Nítorí náà, èmi kò ní wò wọ́n pẹ̀lú àánú, èmi kò sì ní dá wọn sí, ṣùgbọ́n Èmi yóò dá ohun tí wọ́n ti ṣe padà sórí wọn.”
But as for Me, I will not look on them with pity, nor will I spare them. I will bring their deeds down upon their own heads.”
11 Ọkùnrin tí ó wọ aṣọ ọ̀gbọ̀, tí ó ní ìwo tàdáwà ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ̀ ròyìn pé, “Mo ti ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ ti pàṣẹ fún mi.”
Then the man clothed in linen with the writing kit at his side reported back, “I have done as You commanded.”
