Ezekieli 38
1 Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, tembenukira kwa Gogi, wa ku dziko la Magogi, amene ali kalonga wamkulu wa mzinda wa Mesaki ndi Tubala. Umuyimbe mlandu.
“Son of man, set your face against Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him
3 Umuwuze mawu a Ine Ambuye Yehova akuti, ‘Ine ndikudana nawe, iwe Gogi, kalonga wamkulu wa ku Mesaki ndi Tubala.
and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
4 Ndidzakuzunguza, ndidzakukola ndi mbedza mʼkamwa mwako. Ndidzakutulutsa iweyo pamodzi ndi gulu lako lonse la nkhondo, akavalo ako ndi okwerapo ake. Onse adzakhala atanyamula zida za nkhondo, zishango ndi malihawo ndipo malupanga awo adzakhala osolola.
I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws, and bring you out with all your army—your horses, your horsemen in full armor, and a great company armed with shields and bucklers, all brandishing their swords.
5 Pamodzi ndi iwowo, padzakhalanso ankhondo a ku Perisiya, ku Kusi, ndi ku Puti. Onsewa adzakhala atanyamula zishango ndi kuvala zipewa zankhondo.
Persia, Cush, and Put will accompany them, all with shields and helmets,
6 Padzakhalanso Gomeri pamodzi ndi ankhondo ake onse ndiponso banja la Togarima ndi gulu lake lonse lankhondo lochokera kutali kumpoto. Padzakhaladi mitundu yambiri ya anthu pamodzi ndi iwe.
as well as Gomer with all its troops, and Beth-togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you.
7 “‘Konzekani! Mukhaledi okonzeka, iweyo pamodzi ndi gulu lonse la nkhondo limene lakusonkhanira. Iweyo udzawatsogolera pokamenya nkhondo.
Get ready; prepare yourself, you and all your company gathered around you; you will be their guard.
8 Pakapita masiku ambiri ndidzakuyitana. Zaka zikubwerazi ndidzakulowetsa mʼdziko limene lapulumuka ku nkhondo. Anthu ake anasonkhanitsidwa kuchokera ku mitundu ya anthu ambiri nʼkukakhazikika pa mapiri a Israeli amene kwa nthawi yayitali anali ngati chipululu. Anthu onsewa tsopano akukhala mwa mtendere.
After a long time you will be summoned. In the latter years you will enter a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and all now dwell securely.
9 Tsono iwe pamodzi ndi ankhondo ako onse ndiponso mitundu yambiri ya anthu imene ili nawe mudzabwera ngati mphepo yamkuntho. Mudzaphimba dziko lonse ngati mitambo.
You and all your troops, and many peoples with you will go up, advancing like a thunderstorm; you will be like a cloud covering the land.
10 “Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Pa tsiku limenelo mu mtima mwako mudzabwera maganizo ofuna kukonzekera kuchita zoyipa.
This is what the Lord GOD says: On that day, thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.
11 Iwe udzanena kuti, ‘Ndikukathira nkhondo dziko la midzi yopanda mipanda; ndikathira nkhondo anthu okhala mwamtendere, anthu amene satchinjirizidwa ndi mipanda, zipata kapena mipiringidzo.
You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will come against a tranquil people who dwell securely, all of them living without walls or bars or gates—
12 Ndipita kukalanda chuma chawo ndi kukafunkha zinthu zawo. Ndidzalimbana ndi midzi imene kale inali mabwinja. Ndikathira nkhondo anthu amene anasonkhanitsidwa kuchokera kwa anthu a mitundu ina. Iwowa ali ndi ziweto zambiri, katundu wochuluka ndiponso amakhala pakatikati pa dziko lapansi.’
in order to seize the spoil and carry off the plunder, to turn a hand against the desolate places now inhabited and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and possessions and who live at the center of the land.’
13 Anthu a ku Seba, a ku Dedani ndiponso amalonda a ku Tarisisi pamodzi ndi midzi yake yonse adzakufunsa kuti, ‘Kodi wabwera kudzafunkha? Kodi wasonkhanitsa gulu lako la nkhondo kudzalanda chuma, kudzatenga siliva ndi golide, ziweto ndi katundu kuti zikhale zofunkha zochuluka?’”
Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish with all its villages will ask, ‘Have you come to capture the plunder? Have you assembled your hordes to carry away loot, to make off with silver and gold, to take cattle and goods, to seize great spoil?’
14 “Nʼchifukwa chake, iwe mwana wa munthu, nenera ndipo uwuze Gogi kuti, ‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Pa nthawi imene anthu anga adzakhala pa mtendere, iwe udzanyamuka.
Therefore prophesy, son of man, and tell Gog that this is what the Lord GOD says: On that day when My people Israel are dwelling securely, will you not take notice of this?
15 Udzabwera kuchokera ku dziko lako kutali kumpoto, iwe pamodzi ndi mitundu yambiri ya anthu imene ili nawe, onse okwera akavalo, gulu lankhondo lalikulu ndi lamphamvu.
And you will come from your place out of the far north—you and many peoples with you, all riding horses—a mighty horde, a huge army.
16 Udzabwera kudzalimbana ndi anthu anga Aisraeli ngati mtambo wophimba dziko. Masiku amenewo, iwe Gogi, ndidzabwera nawe kuti ulimbane ndi dziko langa, kuti anthu a mitundu ina andidziwe Ine, pamene ndidzaonetsa kuyera kwanga pa zimene ndidzakuchite iweyo.
You will advance against My people Israel like a cloud covering the land. It will happen in the latter days, O Gog, that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me when I show Myself holy in you before their eyes.
17 “‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Kodi iwe si amene ndinayankhula za iwe masiku amakedzana kudzera mwa atumiki anga aneneri a Israeli? Pa zaka zambiri iwo ankalengeza kuti ndidzawutsa iwe kuti udzalimbane ndi Israeli.
This is what the Lord GOD says: Are you the one of whom I have spoken in former days through My servants, the prophets of Israel, who in those times prophesied for years that I would bring you against them?
18 Zimene chidzachitika pa tsiku limenelo ndi izi: Gogi akadzathira nkhondo dziko la Israeli, mkwiyo wanga woopsa udzayaka. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse.
Now on that day when Gog comes against the land of Israel, declares the Lord GOD, My wrath will flare up.
19 Chifukwa cha mkwiyo ndi ukali wanga woyakawo Ine ndikunenetsa kuti pa nthawi imeneyo padzakhala chivomerezi chachikulu mʼdziko la Israeli.
In My zeal and fiery rage I proclaim that on that day there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.
20 Nsomba za mʼnyanja, mbalame zamumlengalenga, zirombo zakuthengo, cholengedwa chilichonse chimene chimakwawa pansi, ndiponso anthu onse okhala pa dziko lapansi, adzanjenjemera pamaso panga. Mapiri adzangʼambika, malo okwera kwambiri adzagumuka ndipo khoma lililonse lidzagwa pansi.
The fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, every creature that crawls upon the ground, and all mankind on the face of the earth will tremble at My presence. The mountains will be thrown down, the cliffs will collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground.
21 Ndidzawutsira Gogi nkhondo kuchokera ku mapiri anga. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova. Anthu a Gogiyo adzaphana okhaokha ndi malupanga.
And I will summon a sword against Gog on all My mountains, declares the Lord GOD, and every man’s sword will be against his brother.
22 Ine ndidzamulanga ndi mliri ndi imfa. Ndidzagwetsa mvula yoopsa ya matalala, ndiponso sulufule ndi miyala ya moto pa iye ndi pa asilikali ake ndiponso pa mitundu yambiri ya anthu imene ili naye.
I will execute judgment upon him with plague and bloodshed. I will pour out torrents of rain, hailstones, fire, and sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him.
23 Motero ndidzadzionetsa kuti ndine wamphamvu ndi woyera. Ndiponso ndidzadziwika pamaso pa anthu a mitundu ina yambiri. Momwemo adzadziwadi kuti Ine ndine Yehova.’”
I will magnify and sanctify Myself, and will reveal Myself in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
