以西結書 38
1 上主的話傳給我說：「
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
2 人子，你面向哥格和瑪哥格地，即面向默舍克和突巴耳的最高領袖，講預言攻斥他，
'Son of man, set thy face unto Gog, of the land of Magog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy concerning him,
3 說：吾主上主這樣說：默舍客和突巴耳的最高領袖，看，我要攻擊你，
and thou hast said: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, O Gog, Prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal,
4 我要用鉤子鉤住你的牙床，把你拖出來，使你帶領你的大軍、馬隊和騎兵出征，都是全副武裝，戴著盔甲和盾牌的大軍，都手持刀劍。
And I have turned thee back, And I have put hooks in thy jaws, And have brought thee out, and all thy force, Horses and horsemen, Clothed in perfection all of them, A numerous assembly, [with] buckler and shield, Handling swords — all of them.
5 還有波斯、雇士和普特人同他們聯盟，都帶著盾牌和銅盔。
Persia, Cush, and Phut, with them, All of them [with] shield and helmet.
6 哥默爾及其隊伍，極北方的托加爾瑪家族及其隊伍，還有許多人民同你聯合。
Gomer and all its bands, The house of Togarmah of the sides of the north, And all its bands, many peoples with thee,
7 你和同你聯合的各種隊伍都要戒備武裝起來，好為我服務。
Be prepared, yea, prepare for thee, Thou and all thine assemblies who are assembled unto thee, And thou hast been to them for a guard.
8 多日之後，你要奉到命令；到末年，你要去攻擊那脫離兵災已復原的地方，那裏的居民是由各民族聚集起來的；你要去攻擊那久已荒涼的以色列山，那裏的居民是由各民族歸來，已安居在那裏。
After many days thou art appointed, In the latter end of the years thou comest in unto a land brought back from sword, [A people] gathered out of many peoples, Upon mountains of Israel, That have been for a perpetual waste, And it from the peoples hath been brought out, And dwelt safely have all of them.
9 你和你的大軍，以及同你聯合的各種隊伍都一起上去，有如狂風來臨，有如濃雲遮地。
And thou hast gone up — as wasting thou comest in, As a cloud to cover the land art thou, Thou and all thy bands, and many peoples with thee.
10 吾主上主這樣說：到那一天，你要心起惡念，籌劃一個惡計。
Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And it hath come to pass in that day, Come up do things on thy heart, And thou hast thought an evil thought,
11 你要想：我要進攻不設防的地方，進攻安居無憂的人民；他們住的地方沒有圍牆，沒有門閂，也沒有門。
And thou hast said: I go up against a land of unwalled villages, I go in to those at rest, dwelling confidently, All of them are dwelling without walls, And bar and doors they have not.
12 我要去搶奪劫掠，下手攻擊已為人居住的廢墟，攻擊那由各民族匯集而來，已有牲畜財物，已安居在地中心的人民。
To take a spoil, and to take a prey, To turn back thy hand on inhabited wastes, And on a people gathered out of nations, Making cattle and substance, Dwelling on a high part of the land.
13 舍巴、德丹、塔爾史士的商人和客商都問你說：你來豈不是為了搶奪﹖集合你的聯軍豈不是為了劫掠，奪去金銀，帶走牲畜和財物，拿去大批掠物﹖
Sheba, and Dedan, and merchants of Tarshish, And all its young lions say to thee: To take a spoil art thou come in? To take a prey assembled thine assembly? To bear away silver and gold? To take away cattle and substance? To take a great spoil?
14 人子，為此你要講預言，向哥格說：吾主上主這樣說：當我的百姓以色列安居的那一天，你不是就起了身，
Therefore, prophesy, son of man, and thou hast said to Gog: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In that day, in the dwelling of My people Israel safely, Dost thou not know?
15 離開你的住處，由極北之地而來，率領許多民族都騎著馬，實在是一支龐大的聯軍，極強大的隊伍，
And thou hast come in out of thy place, From the sides of the north, Thou and many peoples with thee, Riding on horses — all of them, A great assembly, and a numerous force.
16 上來進攻我的百姓以色列，有如密雲遮地一般﹖哥格! 到末日我要領你來攻打我的地方，為的是當我在異民眼前，在你身上顯聖時，叫他們認識我。
And thou hast come up against My people Israel, As a cloud to cover the land, In the latter end of the days it is, And I have brought thee in against My land, In order that the nations may know Me, In My being sanctified in thee before their eyes, O Gog.
17 吾主上主這樣說：你就是我昔日藉我的僕人以色列的先知在那些歲月中所預言的：我要領你進攻他們的那一位。
Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Art thou he of whom I spake in former days, By the hand of My servants, prophets of Israel, Who are prophesying in those days — years, To bring thee in against them?
18 到哥格進攻以色列的那一天──吾主上主的斷語──我的怒氣要從我的鼻孔發出；
And it hath come to pass, in that day, In the day of the coming in of Gog against the land of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Come up doth My fury in My face,
19 我要在妒忌怒火中說：的確，到那一天，以色列地必要發生大地震；
And in My zeal, in the fire of My wrath, I have spoken: Is there not in that day a great rushing on the land of Israel?
20 海裏的魚，空中的飛鳥，田間的走獸，地上所有的爬蟲，地面上所有的人，都要在我面前戰慄；山要崩裂，懸崖要塌陷，所有牆垣要傾倒地上。
And rushed from My presence have fishes of the sea, And the fowl of the heavens, And the beast of the field, And every creeping thing that is creeping on the ground, And all men who [are] on the face of the ground, And thrown down have been the mountains, And fallen have the ascents, And every wall to the earth falleth.
21 我要召刀劍到我的各山上來攻擊他──吾主上主的斷語──人們要用刀劍互相殘殺。
And I have called against him, to all My mountains a sword, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, The sword of each is against his brother.
22 我要以瘟疫和殘殺懲罰他，且要在他和他的軍隊以及同他聯合的眾民身上，降下暴雨、冰雹、火燄和硫磺。
And I have been judged with him, With pestilence and with blood, And an overflowing rain and hailstones, Fire and brimstone I rain on him, and on his bands, And on many peoples who [are] with him.
23 如此，我要顯示我的偉大和神聖，且在眾民眼前顯示我自己，使他們承認我是上主。」
And I have magnified Myself, and sanctified Myself, And I have been known before the eyes of many nations, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!
