حِزْقِيال 38

١ 1 وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

And the word of Yahweh came unto 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 the Magog, Prince of Rosh Meshech and Tubal, - And prophesy concerning him,

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

and thou shalt say, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, — Behold me! against thee O Gog, Prince of Rosh, 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.

Therefore I will turn thee about, and will put hooks in thy jaws, —and bring thee forth and all thine army. Horses and horsemen Clothed with gorgeous attire, all of them, A mighty gathered host With shield and buckler handling swords, all of them:

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

Persia Ethiopia and Libya with them, All of them, with shield and helmet;

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

Gomer and all her hordes, The house of Togarmah the remote men of the North and all his hordes, Many peoples with thee.

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

Be ready, and show thyself ready, Thou and all thy gathered host who have gathered themselves unto thee, — And become thou for me a guard.

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 muster thy forces, In the afterpart of the years, shalt thou enter Into the land of the remnant brought back from the sword Gathered from among many peoples, Upon the mountains of Israel which have been waste continually, — But the same! from among the peoples, hath been brought forth, And they shall dwell in security, all of them.

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

Then shalt thou come up, Like a storm, shalt thou enter, Like a cloud covering the land, shalt thou be, — Thou and all thy hordes, and many peoples with thee.

١٠ 10 وَيَحْدُثُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَنَّ أَفْكَارَ سُوءٍ تُرَاوِدُكَ

Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, — So shall it be in that day, that thoughts will come up on thy heart.- And thou wilt devise a wicked device;

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 wilt say— I will go up over a land of hamlets, I will enter among them who are at rest dwelling securely, — All of them, dwelling without a wall, Who bars and doors, have none;

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 capture spoil. And take prey, - To bring back thy hand over desolate places at length inhabited And against a people gathered from among the nations, Getting herds and substance Dwelling upon the navel 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 traders of Tarshish and all her young lions, will say to thee, To capture spoil, art thou coming? And to take prey, hast thou called together thy gathered host? To carry off silver and gold To take away herds and substance, To capture 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 thou shalt say to Gog. Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh: Shall it not be in that day, because my people Israel are dwelling securely: , that thou wilt rouse thyself?

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

Therefore wilt thou come out of thy place. Out of the remote parts of the North, Thou and many peoples with thee, —Riding on horses all of them, A mighty gathered host. Yea a great army;

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:

Therefore wilt thou come up, against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land, — In the afterpart of the days, shall it be. that I will suffer thee to enter upon my land, To the end the nations may know me, when I hallow myself in 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 My Lord, Yahweh, Art thou, he of whom I spake in days aforetime by the hand of my servants the prophets of Israel, who kept on prophesying in those days for years, —That thou shouldest be suffered to come against them?

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

So then shall it come to pass in that day, In the day when Gog entereth upon the soil of Israel, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, That mine indignation shall come up into my nostrils;

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

Yea, in my jealousy, in the fire of mine outburst, have I spoken, - Surely in that day, shall there be a great trembling upon the soil 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.

Then shall tremble before me The fishes of the sea, and The bird of the heavens and The wild beast of the field, and Every creeping thing that creepeth on the ground, and All the men who are on the face of the ground, — and The mountains, shall be torn asunder, and The steep places, shall sink down, and, Every wall, to the earth, shall be thrown.

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

Then will I call against him, every terror, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, the sword of every man against his brother, shall be;

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

Then will I contend with him by pestilence and by blood, - And an overflowing downpour and hail-stones fire and brimstone, will I rain Upon him, and Upon his hordes, and Upon the many peoples who are with him.

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

So will I Magnify myself and Hallow myself, and Make myself known. Before the eyes of many nations, —And they shall know that I, am Yahweh.
