حِزْقِيال 38

١ 1 وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:

٢ 2 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، الْتَفِتْ بِوَجْهِكَ نَحْوَ جُوجٍ، أَرْضِ مَاجُوجَ رَئِيسِ رُوشٍ مَاشِكَ وَتُوبَالَ وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِ،

Son of man, set thy face against Gog, of the land of Magog, prince of Resh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

٣ 3 وَقُلْ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَيْكَ يَا جُوجُ رَئِيسُ رُوشٍ مَاشِكَ وَتُوبَالَ،

and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, prince of Resh, Meshech, and Tubal!

٤ 4 وَأَقْهَرُكَ وَأَضَعُ شَكَائِمَ فِي فَكَّيْكَ، وَأَطْرُدُكَ أَنْتَ وَكُلَّ جَيْشِكَ، خَيْلاً وَفُرْسَاناً وَجَمِيعُهُمْ مُرْتَدُونَ أَفْخَرَ ثِيَابٍ، جُمْهُوراً غَفِيراً كُلُّهُمْ حَمَلَةُ أَتْرَاسٍ وَمَجَانَّ مِنْ كُلِّ قَابِضِ سَيْفٍ.

And I will turn thee about, and put rings into thy jaws; and I will bring thee forth, thee and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in gorgeous apparel, even a great multitude with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords.

٥ 5 وَمِنْ جُمْلَتِهِمْ رِجَالُ فَارِسَ وَكُوشَ وَفُوطَ يَحْمِلُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِجَنّاً وَخُوذَةً،

Persians, Ethiopians, and Lybians are with them, all of them with shields and helmets.

٦ 6 وَأَيْضاً جُومَرُ وَكُلُّ جُيُوشِهِ، وَبَيْتُ تُوجَرْمَةَ مِنْ أَقَاصِي الشِّمَالِ مَعَ كُلِّ جَيْشِهِ. جَمِيعُهُمْ جُيُوشٌ غَفِيرَةٌ اجْتَمَعَتْ إِلَيْكَ.

Gomer and all his bands, the house of Togarmah from the north quarters, and all their hosts, many nations are with thee.

٧ 7 تَأَهَّبْ وَاسْتَعِدَّ أَنْتَ وَجَمِيعُ الْجُيُوشِ الْمُنْضَمَّةِ إِلَيْكَ، لأَنَّكَ أَصْبَحْتَ لَهُمْ قَائِداً،

Be prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou and all thy host that are assembled unto thee, and be thou their leader!

٨ 8 إِذْ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ كَثِيرَةٍ تُسْتَدْعَى لِلْقِتَالِ، فَتُقْبِلُ فِي السِّنِينَ الأَخِيرَةِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ النَّاجِيَةِ مِنَ السَّيْفِ الَّتِي تَمَّ جَمْعُ أَهْلِهَا مِنْ بَيْنِ شُعُوبٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، فَأَقَامُوا مُطْمَئِنِّينَ عَلَى جِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ دَائِماً مُقْفِرَةً فِي نَظَرِ الَّذِينَ لُمَّ شَتَاتُهُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأُمَمِ،

After many days shalt thou be appointed over them. In the latter years shalt thou come into a land that is brought back from the sword, gathered out of many nations upon the mountains of Israel, which had been long desolate; but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell securely, all of them.

٩ 9 فَتَأْتِي مُنْدَفِعاً كَزَوْبَعَةٍ، وَتَكُونُ كَسَحَابَةٍ تُغَطِّي الأَرْضَ أَنْتَ وَجُيُوشُكَ وَكُلُّ مَنْ مَعَكَ مِنْ شُعُوبٍ كَثِيرَةٍ.

Thou shalt go up like a storm, thou shalt come like a cloud, to cover the land, thou and all thy bands, and many nations with thee.

١٠ 10 وَيَحْدُثُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَنَّ أَفْكَارَ سُوءٍ تُرَاوِدُكَ

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: At the same time shall thoughts come into thy mind, and thou shalt meditate an evil design,

١١ 11 فَتَقُولُ: أَزْحَفُ عَلَى أَرْضٍ عَرَاءٍ مَكْشُوفَةٍ وَأُهَاجِمُ الْمُطْمَئِنِّينَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي أَمْنٍ، الْمُقِيمِينَ كُلَّهُمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُورٍ يَقِيهِمْ، وَلَيْسَ لَدَيْهِمْ مَزَالِيجُ وَلا مَصَارِيعُ،

and shalt say, “I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,

١٢ 12 لِلاسْتِيلاءِ عَلَى الأَسْلابِ وَنَهْبِ الْغَنَائِمِ وَمُهَاجَمَةِ الْخَرَائِبِ الَّتِي أَصْبَحَتْ آهِلَةً، وَلِمُحَارَبَةِ الشَّعْبِ الْمُجْتَمِعِ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأُمَمِ، الْمُقْتَنِي مَاشِيَةً وَأَمْلاكاً، السَّاكِنِ فِي مَرْكَزِ الأَرْضِ.

to take a spoil and to divide a prey, to turn my hand against the desolated places that have become inhabited, and against a people gathered out of the nations, possessing cattle and goods, dwelling in the heights of the earth.”

١٣ 13 وَيَسْأَلُكَ أَهْلُ شَبَا وَرُودُسَ وَتُجَّارُ تَرْشِيشَ وَكُلُّ قُرَاهَا؛ أَقَادِمٌ أَنْتَ لِلاِسْتِيلاءِ عَلَى الأَسْلابِ؟ هَلْ حَشَدْتَ جُيُوشَكَ لِنَهْبِ الْغَنَائِمِ وَلِحَمْلِ الْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ وَأَخْذِ الْمَاشِيَةِ وَالْمُقْتَنَيَاتِ وَلِلسَّلْبِ الْعَظِيمِ؟

Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, and all the chiefs thereof, shall say to thee, “Art thou come to take a spoil? Hast thou gathered thy company to divide a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, and to divide great spoil?”

١٤ 14 لِذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأْ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، وَقُلْ لِجُوجَ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عِنْدَمَا يَسْكُنُ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلُ آمِناً، أَلا تَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ؟

Therefore prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In that day when my people Israel dwelleth securely, thou shalt observe it,

١٥ 15 وَتُقْبِلُ أَنْتَ مِنْ مَقَرِّكَ فِي أَقَاصِي الشِّمَالِ مَعَ جُيُوشٍ غَفِيرَةٍ، تُغَشِّي الأَرْضَ؛ كُلُّهُمْ رَاكِبُو خَيْلٍ وَجَمْعٌ عَظِيمٌ وَجَيْشٌ كَثِيرٌ.

and thou shalt come up from the regions of the North, thou and many nations with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty host;

١٦ 16 وَتَزْحَفُ عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَسَحَابَةٍ تُغَطِّي الأَرْضَ، أَنِّي فِي الأَيَّامِ الأَخِيرَةِ آتِي بِكَ إِلَى أَرْضِي لِكَيْ تَعْرِفَنِي الشُّعُوبُ عِنْدَمَا تَتَجَلَّى قَدَاسَتِي حِينَ أُدَمِّرُكَ يَا جُوجُ أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ. هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ:

thou shalt come up against my people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land; in the latter days it shall come to pass, that I will bring thee against my land, that the nations may know me, when I shall be sanctified in regard to thee, before their eyes, O Gog!

١٧ 17 أَلَسْتَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَحَدَّثْتُ عَنْهُ فِي الأَيَّامِ الْغَابِرَةِ عَلَى أَلْسِنَةِ عَبِيدِي أَنْبِيَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ تَنَبَّأُوا فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ لِسِنِينَ كَثِيرَةٍ بِأَنِّي سَآتِي بِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ؟

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Art thou not he of whom I spoke in old time by my servants, the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days and years, that I would bring thee against them?

١٨ 18 وَيَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عِنْدَمَا يَزْحَفُ جُوجُ عَلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَحْتَدِمُ غَضَبِي فِي وَجْهِي.

And it shall come to pass in that day, in the day when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah, that my anger shall ascend in fury.

١٩ 19 وَفِي خِضَمِّ غَيْرَتِي وَاتِّقَادِ سَخَطِي أَقُولُ إِنَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ تَحْدُثُ هَزَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ فِي أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

For in my jealousy, in the fire of my wrath, have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel,

٢٠ 20 فَيَرْتَعِشُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِي سَمَكُ الْبَحْرِ وَطُيُورُ السَّمَاءِ وَوُحُوشُ الْبَرِّيَّةِ وَجَمِيعُ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الدَّابَّةِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَكُلُّ النَّاسِ الَّذِينَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمَسْكُونَةِ، وَتَنْدَكُّ الْجِبَالُ وَتَسْقُطُ الْمَعَاقِلُ وَتَنْهَارُ كُلُّ الأَسْوَارِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ.

so that the fishes of the sea, and the birds of the heavens, and the beasts of the field; and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the ground, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence; and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

٢١ 21 وَأُسَلِّطُ عَلَيْهِ السَّيْفَ فِي كُلِّ جِبَالِي يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، فَيَكُونُ سَيْفُ كُلِّ رَجُلٍ ضِدَّ أَخِيهِ.

And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord Jehovah, and they shall all turn their swords against each other,

٢٢ 22 وَأَدِينُهُ بِالْوَبَاءِ وَبِالدَّمِ، وَأُمْطِرُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى جُيُوشِهِ وَعَلَى جُمُوعِ حُلَفَائِهِ الْغَفِيرَةِ مَطَراً جَارِفاً وَبَرَداً عَظِيماً وَنَاراً وَكِبْرِيتاً.

And I will contend against him with pestilence, and with blood; and overflowing showers, and great hailstones, fire and brimstone, will I rain upon him and his hosts, and the many nations that are with him.

٢٣ 23 فَأُعَظِّمُ نَفْسِي وَأُقَدِّسُهَا، وَأُعْلِنُ ذَاتِي عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنْ كُلِّ الأُمَمِ، فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».

Thus will I show myself in my greatness and glory, and make myself known before the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
