< Ezekiel 9 >

1 Then he cried in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause ye them that have charge over the city to draw near, every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
Ergasis ani isaa, “Warra tokkoon tokkoon isaanii miʼa lolaa harkatti qabatanii magaalattii balleessan as dhiʼeessi” jedhee gurra kootti iyyu nan dhagaʼe.
2 And behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lieth toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side. And they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
Anis utuu namoonni jaʼa kallattii karra ol aanuu kan gara kaabaa ilaaluun tokkoon tokkoon isaanii meeshaa nama ajjeesu harkatti qabatanii dhufaa jiranuu nan arge. Isaan wajjinis nama uffata quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame uffate kan mudhii isaatti korojoo katabbii hidhate tokkotu ture. Isaanis ol seenanii iddoo aarsaa naasii bira dhaabatan.
3 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen, which had the writer’s inkhorn by his side.
Ulfinni Waaqa Israaʼelis iddoo irra buʼee ture kiirubeelii irraa kaʼee gara gulantaa mana qulqullummaatti qajeele. Ergasiis Waaqayyo namicha wayyaa quncee talbaa irraa tolfame uffatee mudhii isaatti korojoo katabbii hidhate sana waame;
4 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.
innis akkana jedheen; “Guutummaa magaalaa Yerusaalem keessa deemiitii adda namoota sababii wantoota jibbisiisoo ishee keessatti hojjetaman hundaatiif gaddanii booʼan irratti mallattoo godhi.”
5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye through the city after him, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
Inni utuma ani dhagaʼuu warra kaaniin akkana jedhe; “Magaalattii keessa isa faana deemaatii utuu garaa hin laafin yookaan utuu hin mararfatin ajjeesaa.
6 slay utterly the old man, the young man and the maiden, 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.
Jaarsota, dargaggeeyyii, shamarran, dubartootaa fi ijoollee ajjeesaa; nama mallattoo qabu kam iyyuu garuu hin tuqinaa. Iddoo qulqullummaa koo irraa jalqabaa.” Kanaafuu isaan jaarsota fuula mana qulqullummaa dura jiran irraa jalqaban.
7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and smote in the city.
Innis, “Mana qulqullummaa xureessaa; waltajjichas reeffaan guutaa. Itti baʼaa!” jedheen. Kanaafuu isaan gad baʼanii magaalattii guutuu keessatti ajjeesuu jalqaban.
8 And it came to pass, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
Utuu isaan ajjeesaa jiranii, ani kophaa koo hafee addaan lafatti gombifamee, “Ani bade yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa! Ati dheekkamsa kee Yerusaalem irratti roobsuudhaan hambaawwan Israaʼel hunda balleessuuf jirtaa?” jedheen iyye.
9 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 wresting [of judgment]: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
Innis akkana jedhee naaf deebise; “Cubbuun mana Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa akka malee guddaa dha; biyyattiin dhiiga dhangalaasuudhaan, magaalaan immoo jalʼinaan guutamteerti. Isaan, ‘Waaqayyo biyyattii gateera; Waaqayyo hin argu’ jedhu.
10 And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way upon their head.
Kanaafuu ani ija gara laafinaatiin isaan hin ilaalu yookaan hin hiluufis; garuu ani waanuma isaan hojjetan mataa isaaniitti nan fida.”
11 And behold, the man clothed in linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
Ergasii namichi uffata quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame uffatee korojoo katabbii mudhii isaatti hidhate sun deebiʼee dhufee, “Ani akkuma ati na ajajje sana godheera” jedhe.
