Ezekiel 9
1 He cried also in my 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.
Et clamavit in auribus meis voce magna, dicens: Appropinquaverunt visitationes urbis, et unusquisque vas interfectionis habet in manu sua.
2 And behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth towards the north, and every man a slaughter-weapon in his hand; and one man among them [was] clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in and stood beside the brazen altar.
Et ecce sex viri veniebant de via portæ superioris, quæ respicit ad Aquilonem: et uniuscuiusque vas interitus in manu eius: vir quoque unus in medio eorum vestitus erat lineis, et atramentarium scriptoris ad renes eius: et ingressi sunt, et steterunt iuxta altare æreum:
3 And the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub on which he was, to the threshhold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, who [had] the writer's inkhorn by his side;
Et gloria Domini Israel assumpta est de cherub, quæ erat super eum ad limen domus: et vocavit virum, qui indutus erat lineis, et atramentarium scriptoris habebat in lumbis suis.
4 And the LORD said to 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 are done in the midst of it.
Et dixit Dominus ad eum: Transi per mediam civitatem in medio Ierusalem: et signa thau super frontes virorum gementium, et dolentium super cunctis abominationibus, quæ fiunt in medio eius.
5 And to the others he said in my hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
Et illis dixit, audiente me: Transite per civitatem sequentes eum, et percutite: non parcat oculus vester, neque misereamini.
6 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 elderly men who [were] before the house.
Senem, adolescentulum, et virginem, parvulum, et mulieres interficite usque ad internecionem: omnem autem, super quem videritis thau, ne occidatis, et a sanctuario meo incipite. Cœperunt ergo a viris senioribus, qui erant ante faciem domus.
7 And he said to them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
Et dixit ad eos: Contaminate domum, et implete atria interfectis: egredimini. Et egressi sunt, et percutiebant eos, qui erant in civitate.
8 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! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
Et cæde completa, remansi ego: ruique super faciem meam, et clamans aio: Heu, heu, heu Domine Deus: ergone disperdes omnes reliquias Israel, effundens furorem tuum super Ierusalem?
9 Then said he to 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 hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
Et dixit ad me: Iniquitas domus Israel, et Iuda, magna est nimis valde, et repleta est terra sanguinibus, et civitas repleta est aversione: dixerunt enim: Dereliquit Dominus terram, et Dominus non videt.
10 And as for me also, my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, [but] I will recompense their way upon their head.
Igitur et meus non parcet oculus, neque miserebor: viam eorum super caput eorum reddam.
11 And behold, the man clothed with linen, who [had] the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
Et ecce vir, qui erat indutus lineis, qui habebat atramentarium in dorso suo, respondit verbum, dicens: Feci sicut præcepisti mihi.
