Иезекииль 9
1 И возгласил в уши мои великим гласом, говоря: пусть приблизятся каратели города, каждый со своим губительным орудием в руке своей.
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 И вот, шесть человек идут от верхних ворот, обращенных к северу, и у каждого в руке губительное орудие его, и между ними один, одетый в льняную одежду, у которого при поясе его прибор писца. И пришли и стали подле медного жертвенника.
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 И слава Бога Израилева сошла с Херувима, на котором была, к порогу дома. И призвал Он человека, одетого в льняную одежду, у которого при поясе прибор писца.
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 И сказал ему Господь: пройди посреди города, посреди Иерусалима, и на челах людей скорбящих, воздыхающих о всех мерзостях, совершающихся среди него, сделай знак.
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 А тем сказал вслух мой: идите за ним по городу и поражайте; пусть не жалеет око ваше, и не щадите;
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 старика, юношу и девицу, и младенца и жен бейте до смерти, но не троньте ни одного человека, на котором знак, и начните от святилища Моего. И начали они с тех старейшин, которые были перед домом.
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 И сказал им: оскверните дом, и наполните дворы убитыми, и выйдите. И вышли, и стали убивать в городе.
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 И когда они их убили, а я остался, тогда я пал на лице свое и возопил, и сказал: о, Господи Боже! неужели Ты погубишь весь остаток Израиля, изливая гнев Твой на Иерусалим?
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 И сказал Он мне: нечестие дома Израилева и Иудина велико, весьма велико; и земля сия полна крови, и город исполнен неправды; ибо они говорят: “оставил Господь землю сию, и не видит Господь”.
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 За то и Мое око не пощадит, и не помилую; обращу поведение их на их голову.
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 И вот человек, одетый в льняную одежду, у которого при поясе прибор писца, дал ответ и сказал: я сделал, как Ты повелел мне.
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.
