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.
1 Waato din gaa no ay maa a jinde bambata ay hanga ra kaŋ ne: Ya araŋ, gallo borey wiikoy, wa maan, boro fo kulu nda halaciyaŋ wongu jinay nga kambe ra!
1Then he cried in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause ye them that have charge over the city to draw near, every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
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.
2 Kala boro iddu go, i kaa ka fun beene meyo fonda gaa haray, wo kaŋ ga azawa kambe haray guna. Afo kulu gonda wiyaŋ deesi nga kambe ra. I ra boro fa gonda lin* bankaaray nga gaahamo gaa, da dawa kulba nga canta gaa. I furo ka kay guuru-say sargay feema jarga.

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.
3 Gaa no Israyla Irikoyo darza ziji ka fun ciiti malaykey* boŋ, nango kaŋ a go za doŋ, ka koy hala fuwo kutijo gaa. Kala Rabbi na bora kaŋ gonda lin bankaara din ce, nga kaŋ gonda dawa kulba nga canta gaa.
3And the 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.
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.
4 Rabbi ne a se: Ma koy ka gana gallo bindi ra, sanda Urusalima bindo ra nooya. Borey kaŋ goono ga bine jisi, i goono ga hẽ mo fanta goy kulu kaŋ borey goono ga te kwaara ra sabbay se, ni ma seeda daŋ i se i sukutey gaa.
4And Jehovah said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst thereof.
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;
5 Ay maa a ne cindey mo se: Wa koy a banda. Wa gallo gana ka _borey|_ kar. Araŋ ma si dogonandi i gaa, wa si bakar i se mo.
5And to the others he said in my hearing, Go ye through the city after him, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity;
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.
6 Wa mallaka -- dottijo zeeno, da arwasu, da wandiyo, da zanka kayna, da wayboro. Amma araŋ ma si maan boro kulu kaŋ seeda go a gaa. Wa sintin mo za ay nangu hanna ra. I binde sintin da fu meyo gaa arkusey.

7He said to them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go forth! They went forth, and struck in the city.

7And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and smote in the city.
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?
8 A go, za i go wiyaŋo gaa, ay go no, ay hinne. Kal ay kaŋ ganda birante ay moyduma boŋ ka hẽ ka ne: «Kaari, ya Rabbi, Koy Beero! Ni futa kaŋ ni go ga gusam Urusalima boŋ ra, ni ga boro kaŋ cindi Israyla se kulu ban no?»
8And it came to pass, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord Jehovah! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy wrath upon Jerusalem?
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.

9Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of wrestling [of judgment]: for they say, Jehovah hath forsaken the land, and Jehovah seeth not.
10As for me also, my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way on their head.
10 Ay mo, ay si dogonandi i se, ay si bakar i se mo, amma ay g'i goyey alhakku candi ka kande i boŋ.
10And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way upon their head.
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.
11 Gaa no bora kaŋ gonda lin bankaaray nga gaahamo gaa, da dawa kulba nga canta gaa din, nga ka kande misa baaro. A ne: «Haya kaŋ ni n'ay lordi* nd'a, ay n'a te.»
11And behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
