1 Nang magkagayo'y sumigaw siya sa aking pakinig ng malakas na tinig, na nagsasabi, Magsilapit yaong mga may katungkulan sa bayan, na bawa't isa'y may kaniyang pangpatay na almas sa kaniyang kamay.
1 Then He cried out in my hearing with a loud voice saying, “Draw near, O executioners of the city, each with his destroying weapon in his hand.”
2 At narito, anim na lalake ay nagsipanggaling sa daan ng mataas na pintuang-daan, na nalalagay sa dako ng hilagaan, na bawa't isa'y may kaniyang pangpatay na almas sa kaniyang kamay; at isang lalake ay nasa gitna nila na nakapanamit ng kayong lino, na may tintero ng manunulat sa kaniyang tagiliran. At sila'y nagsipasok, at nagsitayo sa siping ng tansong dambana.
2 Behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate which faces north, each with his shattering weapon in his hand; and among them was a certain man clothed in linen with a writing case at his loins. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 At ang kaluwalhatian ng Dios ng Israel ay umilanglang mula sa kerubin, na kinapapatungan, hanggang sa pintuan ng bahay: at kaniyang tinawag ang lalaking nakapanamit ng kayong lino, na may tintero ng manunulat sa kaniyang tagiliran.
3 Then the glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub on which it had been, to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed in linen at whose loins was the writing case.
4 At sinabi ng Panginoon sa kaniya, Pumaroon ka sa gitna ng bayan, sa gitna ng Jerusalem, at maglagay ka ng mga tanda sa mga noo ng mga taong nangagbubuntong-hininga at nagsidaing dahil sa lahat na kasuklamsuklam na nagawa sa gitna niyaon.
4 The Lord said to him, “Go through the midst of the city, even through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations which are being committed in its midst.”
5 At sa mga iba ay sinabi niya sa aking pakinig, Magsiparoon kayo sa bayan na magsisunod sa kaniya, at manakit kayo: huwag magpatawad ang inyong mata, o kayo man ay mahabag;
5 But to the others He said in my hearing, “Go through the city after him and strike; do not let your eye have pity and do not spare.
6 Lipulin ninyong lubos ang matanda, ang binata at ang dalaga, at ang mga bata at ang mga babae; nguni't huwag lumapit sa sinomang lalake na tinandaan; at inyong pasimulan sa aking santuario. Nang magkagayo'y kanilang pinasimulan sa mga matandang lalake na nangasa harap ng bahay.
6 Utterly slay old men, young men, maidens, little children, and women, but do not touch any man on whom is the mark; and you shall start from My sanctuary.” So they started with the elders who were before the temple.
7 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Lapastanganin ninyo ang bahay, at punuin ninyo ng patay ang mga looban: magsilabas kayo. At sila'y nagsilabas, at nanakit sa bayan.
7 And He said to them, “Defile the temple and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!” Thus they went out and struck down the people in the city.
8 At nangyari, habang sila'y nananakit, at ako'y naiwan, na ako'y nasubasob, at sumigaw ako, at aking sinabi, Ah Panginoong Dios! iyo bagang lilipulin ang buong nalabi sa Israel, sa iyong pagbubugso ng iyong kapusukan sa Jerusalem?
8 As they were striking the people and I alone was left, I fell on my face and cried out saying, “Alas, Lord God! Are You destroying the whole remnant of Israel by pouring out Your wrath on Jerusalem?”
9 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya sa akin, Ang kasamaan ng sangbahayan ni Israel at ni Juda ay totoong malaki, at ang lupain ay puno ng dugo, at ang bayan ay puno ng kasuwailan: sapagka't kanilang sinasabi, Pinabayaan ng Panginoon ang lupa, at hindi nakikita ng Panginoon.
9 Then He said to me, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is very, very great, and the land is filled with blood and the city is full of perversion; for they say, ‘The Lord has forsaken the land, and the Lord does not see!’
11 At, narito, ang lalaking nakapanamit ng kayong lino, na may tintero ng manunulat sa kaniyang tagiliran, nagbalita ng bagay; na sinabi, Aking ginawa na gaya ng iniutos mo sa akin.
11 Then behold, the man clothed in linen at whose loins was the writing case reported, saying, “I have done just as You have commanded me.”
