Ezechiele 9

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Et clamavit in auribus meis voce magna dicens: “ Appro pinquaveruntvisitationes urbis, et unusquisque vas interfectionis habet in manu sua ”.	1 Then he cried loud for me to hear: Come, you scourges of the city!
2 Et ecce sex viri veniebant de via portae superioris, quae respicit ad aquilonem,et uniuscuiusque vas interitus in manu eius; vir quoque unus in medio eorumvestitus lineis, et atramentarium scriptoris ad renes eius; et ingressi sunt etsteterunt iuxta altare aereum.	2 With that I saw six men coming from the direction of the upper gate which faces the north, each with a destroying weapon in his hand. In their midst was a man dressed in linen, with a writer's case at his waist. They entered and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 Et gloria Dei Israel elevata est de cherub,super quem erat, ad limen domus; et vocavit virum, qui indutus erat lineis etatramentarium scriptoris habebat in lumbis suis.	3 Then he called to the man dressed in linen with the writer's case at his waist,
4 Et dixit Dominus ad eum: “Transi per mediam civitatem in medio Ierusalem et signa thau super frontesvirorum gementium et dolentium super cunctis abominationibus, quae fiunt inmedio eius ”.	4 saying to him: Pass through the city (through Jerusalem) and mark an X on the foreheads of those who moan and groan over all the abominations that are practiced within it.
5 Et illis dixit, audiente me: “ Transite per civitatemsequentes eum et percutite; non parcat oculus vester, neque misereamini:	5 To the others I heard him say: Pass through the city after him and strike! Do not look on them with pity nor show any mercy!
6 senem, adulescentulum et virginem et parvulum et mulieres interficite usque adinternecionem; omnem autem, super quem videritis thau, ne occidatis, et asanctuario meo incipite ”. Coeperunt ergo a viris senioribus, qui erant antefaciem domus.	6 Old men, youths and maidens, women and children--wipe them out! But do not touch any marked with the X; begin at my sanctuary. So they began with the men (the elders) who were in front of the temple.
7 Et dixit ad eos: “Contaminate domum et implete atriainterfectis. Egredimini ”. Et egressi sunt et percutiebant eos, qui erant incivitate.	7 Defile the temple, he said to them, and fill the courts with the slain; then go out and strike in the city.
8 Et caede completa, remansi ego ruique super faciem meam et clamans aio: “Heu,Domine Deus! Ergone disperdes omnes reliquias Israel, effundens furorem tuumsuper Ierusalem? ”.	8 As they began to strike, I was left alone. I fell prone, crying out, Alas, Lord GOD! Will you destroy all that is left of Israel when you pour out your fury on Jerusalem?"
9 Et dixit ad me: “ Iniquitas domus Israel et Iudaemagna est nimis valde; et repleta est terra sanguinibus, et civitas repleta estiniustitia. Dixerunt enim: “Dereliquit Dominus terram, et Dominus non videt”;	9 He answered me: The sins of the house of Israel are great beyond measure; the land is filled with bloodshed, the city with lawlessness. They think that the LORD has forsaken the land, that he does not see them.
10 igitur et meus non parcet oculus, neque miserebor: viam eorum super caputeorum reddam ”.	10 I, however, will not look upon them with pity, nor show any mercy. I will bring down their conduct upon their heads.
11 Et ecce vir, qui indutus erat lineis, qui habebatatramentarium in lumbis suis, respondit verbum dicens: “ Feci, sicutpraecepisti mihi ”.	11 Then I saw the man dressed in linen with the writing case at his waist make his report: "I have done as you ordered."
