Ezekiel 9
1 Na nga lohng ke God El wola, “Fahsru nu inge, kowos su ac kalyei siti uh. Us mwe mweun nutuwos an.”
And he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying: The visitations of the city are at hand, and every one hath a destroying weapon in his hand.
2 In kitin pacl ah mukul onkosr tuku liki mutunpot layen epang ke Tempul uh, ac kais sie selos us kufwen mwe mweun. Sie pac mukul welulos ac el nukum nuknuk linen. El us ma se elan sim kac. Elos nukewa tuku ac tu ke loang bronze sac.
And behold six men came from the way of the upper gate, which looketh to the north: and each one had his weapon of destruction in his hand: and there was one man in the midst of them clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn at his reins: and they went in, and stood by the brazen altar.
3 Ouinge kalem saromrom se, su akkalemye lah God lun Israel El oasr, sohkak liki cherub luo, yen el tuh muta we, ac mukuila nu ke nien utyak nu in Tempul. LEUM GOD El pang nu sin mwet se su nukum nuknuk linen ac fahk,
And the glory of the Lord of Israel went up from the cherub, upon which he was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man that was clothed with linen, and had a writer’s inkhorn at his loins.
4 “Fahla sasla in siti Jerusalem nufon, ac akilenya motonsron mwet nukewa su inse toasr ac asor ke sripen ouiya koluk nukewa ma orek in siti uh.”
And the Lord said to him: Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem: and mark Thau upon the foreheads of the men that sigh, and mourn for all the abominations that are committed in the midst thereof.
5 Ac nga lohng ke God El fahk nu sin mukul ngia, “Fahsr tokol sasla in siti uh, ac uniya mwet uh. Tia likiya sie, ku pakoten nu sin sie.
And to the others he said in my hearing: Go ye after him through the city, and strike: let not your eyes spare, nor be ye moved with pity.
6 Uniya mukul matu, mukul fusr, mutan fusr, nina, ac tulik. Tusruktu nimet kahlye kutena mwet su oasr akul ke motonsro. Mutawauk ke Tempul sik uh fahla.” Ouinge elos mutawauk ke mwet kol su tu ke Tempul uh.
Utterly destroy old and young, maidens, children and women: but upon whomsoever you shall see Thau, kill him not, and begin ye at my sanctuary. So they began at the ancient men who mere before the house.
7 God El fahk nu selos, “Kowos in akfohkfokyela Tempul, ac nwakla kewa acn mwesas ke inkul uh ke monin mwet misa. Fahsrot, oru ma nga fahk uh.” Ouinge elos mutawauk in uniya mwet in siti uh.
And he said to them: Defile the house, and ill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew them that were in the city.
8 Ke pacl se elos uniya mwet uh nga tuh mukena muta, ac nga faksufi ac wola ac fahk, “LEUM GOD Fulatlana, ya kom arulana kasrkusrak sin Jerusalem, pa kom ac uniya mwet nukewa lula in Israel?”
And the slaughter being ended I was left: and I fell upon my face, and crying, I said: Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God, wilt thou then destroy all the remnant of Israel, by pouring out thy fury upon Jerusalem?
9 God El topuk ac fahk, “Mwet Israel ac mwet Judah elos orala ma koluk lulap. Elos akmas yen nukewa in facl se inge, ac nwakla acn Jerusalem ke ma koluk. Elos fahk mu, ‘LEUM GOD El ngetla liki facl se inge, ac LEUM GOD El tia liye ma kut oru.’
And he said to me: The iniquity of the house of Israel, and of Juda, is exceeding great, and the land is filled with blood, and the city is filled with perverseness: for they have said: The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and the Lord seeth not.
10 Tusruktu nga ac tia pakomutalos. Nga ac fah oru nu selos oana ma elos oru nu sin mwet ngia.”
Therefore neither shall my eye spare, nor will I have pity: I will requite their way upon their head.
11 Na mwet se ma nukum nuknuk linen sac el foloko ac fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, “Nga orala tari sap lom nu sik ah.”
And behold the man that was clothed with linen, that had the inkhorn at his back, returned the word, saying: I have done as thou hast commanded me.
