1Siis ta hüüdis mu kuuldes valju häälega, öeldes: 'Tulge siia, linna nuhtlejad, ja igaühel olgu käes hävitusriist!'
1Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause those who are in charge of the city to draw near, every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
2Ja vaata, kuus meest tuli Ülavärava poolt, mis on põhja poole, ja igaühel oli käes oma purustusriist; aga nende seas oli mees, linased riided seljas ja kirjutustarbed puusal; ja nad tulid ning asusid vaskaltari kõrvale.
2Behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lies toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man in their midst clothed in linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side. They went in, and stood beside the bronze altar.
3Ja Iisraeli Jumala auhiilgus tõusis keerubi pealt, mille peal ta oli, koja lävele ja hüüdis linaste riietega meest, kellel olid kirjutustarbed puusal.
3The glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn by his side.
4Ja Issand ütles temale: 'Mine läbi linna, läbi Jeruusalemma, ja tee märk nende laubale, kes ohkavad ja ägavad jäleduste pärast, mida selles linnas tehakse!'
4Yahweh said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in its midst.
5Ja neile teistele ütles ta minu kuuldes: 'Minge tema järel läbi linna ja lööge! Teie silm ärgu kurvastagu ja ärge andke armu!
5To the others he said in my hearing, Go through the city after him, and strike: don’t let your eye spare, neither have pity;
6Tapke sootuks vanad, noored mehed ja neitsid, lapsed ja naised, aga ärge puudutage ühtegi, kellel on märk küljes! Ja alustage minu pühamust!' Ja nad alustasid meestest, vanemaist, kes olid koja ees.
6kill utterly the old man, the young man and the virgin, and little children and women; but don’t come near any man on whom is the mark: and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men that were before the house.
7Ja ta ütles neile: 'Rüvetage koda ja täitke õued mahalöödutega! Minge!' Ja nad läksid välja ning alustasid linnas tapatööd.
7He said to them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go forth! They went forth, and struck in the city.
8Aga kui nad olid maha löömas ja mina olin üksi jäänud, siis ma langesin silmili maha ja kisendasin ning ütlesin: 'Oh Issand Jumal! Kas sa tahad hävitada kogu Iisraeli jäägi, et sa valad oma tulise viha Jeruusalemma peale?'
8It happened, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell on my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord Yahweh! will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your wrath on Jerusalem?
9Siis ta ütles mulle: 'Iisraeli ja Juuda soo süü on väga suur; maa on täis veresüüd ja linn on täis õiguseväänamist, sest nad ütlevad: Issand on maa maha jätnud, Issand ei näe!
9Then he said to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perversion: for they say, Yahweh has forsaken the land, and Yahweh doesn’t see.
10Sellepärast minugi silm ei kurvasta ja ma ei anna armu. Ma panen nende eluviisid neile pea peale.'
10As for me also, my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way on their head.
11Ja vaata, linaste riietega mees, kellel olid kirjutustarbed puusal, tõi sõna, öeldes: 'Ma tegin, nagu sa mind käskisid.'
11Behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as you have commanded me.
