Ezechiel 9
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
9 Apoi a strigat cu glas tare la urechile mele: „Apropiaţi-vă voi, care trebuie să pedepsiţi cetatea, fiecare cu unealta lui de nimicire în mână!” 2 Şi iată că au venit şase oameni de pe drumul porţii de sus dinspre miazănoapte, fiecare cu unealta lui de nimicire în mână. În mijlocul lor era un(A) om îmbrăcat într-o haină de in şi cu o călimară la brâu. Au venit şi s-au aşezat lângă altarul de aramă. 3 Slava(B) Dumnezeului lui Israel s-a ridicat de pe heruvimul pe care era şi s-a îndreptat spre pragul casei, şi el a chemat pe omul acela care era îmbrăcat cu haina de in şi care avea călimara la brâu. 4 Domnul i-a zis: „Treci prin mijlocul cetăţii, prin mijlocul Ierusalimului, şi fă un(C) semn pe fruntea oamenilor care suspină(D) şi gem din pricina tuturor urâciunilor care se săvârşesc acolo.” 5 Iar celorlalţi le-a zis în auzul meu: „Treceţi după el în cetate şi loviţi; ochiul vostru(E) să fie fără milă şi să nu vă înduraţi! 6 Ucideţi(F) şi nimiciţi pe bătrâni, pe tineri, pe fecioare, pe copii şi pe femei, dar să nu vă atingeţi(G) de niciunul din cei ce au semnul pe frunte! Începeţi(H) însă cu Locaşul Meu cel Sfânt!” Ei(I) au început cu bătrânii care erau înaintea Templului. 7 Şi El le-a zis: „Spurcaţi casa şi umpleţi curţile cu morţi!… Ieşiţi…” Ei au ieşit şi au început să ucidă în cetate. 8 Pe când ucideau ei astfel, şi eu stăteam încă singur acolo, am(J) căzut cu faţa la pământ şi am strigat: „Ah(K), Doamne, Dumnezeule, vrei să nimiceşti oare tot ce a mai rămas din Israel, vărsându-Ţi urgia asupra Ierusalimului?” 9 El mi-a răspuns: „Nelegiuirea casei lui Israel şi Iuda este mare, peste măsură de mare! Ţara este plină de omoruri şi cetatea este plină(L) de nedreptate, căci ei zic: ‘Domnul(M) a părăsit ţara şi Domnul(N) nu vede nimic!’ 10 De aceea, şi Eu(O) voi fi fără milă şi nu Mă voi îndura, ci voi face(P) să cadă asupra capului lor faptele lor.” 11 Şi iată că omul cel îmbrăcat în haina de in şi care avea călimara la brâu a adus următorul răspuns: „Am făcut ce mi-ai poruncit!”

The Wicked Are Slain
9 Then He called out in my hearing with a loud voice, saying, “Let those who have charge over the city draw near, each with a [a]deadly weapon in his hand.” 2 And suddenly six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his [b]battle-ax in his hand. (A)One man among them was clothed with linen and had a writer’s inkhorn [c]at his side. They went in and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 Now (B)the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to the threshold of the [d]temple. And He called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn at his side; 4 and the Lord said to him, “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put (C)a mark on the foreheads of the men (D)who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.”
5 To the others He said in my [e]hearing, “Go after him through the city and (E)kill;[f] (F)do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity. 6 (G)Utterly[g] slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but (H)do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and (I)begin at My sanctuary.” (J)So they began with the elders who were before the [h]temple. 7 Then He said to them, “Defile the [i]temple, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!” And they went out and killed in the city.
8 So it was, that while they were killing them, I was left alone; and I (K)fell on my face and cried out, and said, (L)“Ah, Lord God! Will You destroy all the remnant of Israel in pouring out Your fury on Jerusalem?”
9 Then He said to me, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and (M)the land is full of bloodshed, and the city full of perversity; for they say, (N)‘The Lord has forsaken the land, and (O)the Lord does not see!’ 10 And as for Me also, My (P)eye will neither spare, nor will I have pity, but (Q)I will recompense their deeds on their own head.”
11 Just then, the man clothed with linen, who had the inkhorn at his side, reported back and said, “I have done as You commanded me.”

Judgment on the Idolaters
9 Then I heard him call out in a loud voice, “Bring near those who are appointed to execute judgment on the city, each with a weapon in his hand.” 2 And I saw six men coming from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with a deadly weapon in his hand. With them was a man clothed in linen(A) who had a writing kit at his side. They came in and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 Now the glory(B) of the God of Israel went up from above the cherubim,(C) where it had been, and moved to the threshold of the temple. Then the Lord called to the man clothed in linen who had the writing kit at his side 4 and said to him, “Go throughout the city of Jerusalem(D) and put a mark(E) on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament(F) over all the detestable things that are done in it.(G)”
5 As I listened, he said to the others, “Follow him through the city and kill, without showing pity(H) or compassion.(I) 6 Slaughter(J) the old men, the young men and women, the mothers and children,(K) but do not touch anyone who has the mark.(L) Begin at my sanctuary.” So they began with the old men(M) who were in front of the temple.(N)
7 Then he said to them, “Defile the temple and fill the courts with the slain.(O) Go!” So they went out and began killing throughout the city. 8 While they were killing and I was left alone, I fell facedown,(P) crying out, “Alas, Sovereign Lord!(Q) Are you going to destroy the entire remnant of Israel in this outpouring of your wrath(R) on Jerusalem?(S)”
9 He answered me, “The sin of the people of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great; the land is full of bloodshed and the city is full of injustice.(T) They say, ‘The Lord has forsaken the land; the Lord does not see.’(U) 10 So I will not look on them with pity(V) or spare them, but I will bring down on their own heads what they have done.(W)”
11 Then the man in linen with the writing kit at his side brought back word, saying, “I have done as you commanded.”
