以西結書 38
1 耶和華的話臨到我說：
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 「人子啊，你要面向瑪各地的歌革，就是羅施、米設、土巴的王發預言攻擊他，
“Son of man, face towards Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him
3 說主耶和華如此說：羅施、米設、土巴的王歌革啊，我與你為敵。
and declare that this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, I am condemning you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
4 我必用鉤子鉤住你的腮頰，調轉你，將你和你的軍兵、馬匹、馬兵帶出來，都披掛整齊，成了大隊，有大小盾牌，各拿刀劍。
I will send you in a different direction, put hooks in your jaws, and drag you out with your whole army, including your horses, your horsemen in uniform, and a host of men with large and small shields and bucklers, all waving their swords.
5 波斯人、古實人，和弗人，各拿盾牌，頭上戴盔；
Soldiers from Persia, Cush, and Put will join them, all equipped with shields and helmets,
6 歌篾人和他的軍隊，北方極處的陀迦瑪族和他的軍隊，這許多國的民都同着你。
together with Gomer and all its armies, as well as Beth-togarmah from the distant places of the north with all its armies—and many other nations that join with you.
7 「那聚集到你這裏的各隊都當準備；你自己也要準備，作他們的大帥。
Get ready! Make sure you and your whole army with you is prepared. You're the one in charge of them.
8 過了多日，你必被差派。到末後之年，你必來到脫離刀劍從列國收回之地，到以色列常久荒涼的山上；但那從列國中招聚出來的必在其上安然居住。
A long time later you will be called to battle. In the final years you will invade a country that has recovered from war. Its people will have been gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had been abandoned for a long time. They had been brought back from the nations, and were all living in safety.
9 你和你的軍隊，並同着你許多國的民，必如暴風上來，如密雲遮蓋地面。」
You and your whole army, and the armies of many nations with you, will advance like an incoming storm, like a cloud that covers the land.
10 主耶和華如此說：「到那時，你心必起意念，圖謀惡計，
This is what the Lord God says: On that day you will start thinking about things in your mind, and you will come up with an evil plan.
11 說：『我要上那無城牆的鄉村，我要到那安靜的民那裏，他們都沒有城牆，無門、無閂，安然居住。
You tell yourself, ‘I'm going to attack a country of undefended villages, a peaceful people who don't suspect an attack. They all live in towns without defensive walls or barred gates.
12 我去要搶財為擄物，奪貨為掠物，反手攻擊那從前荒涼、現在有人居住之地，又攻擊那住世界中間、從列國招聚、得了牲畜財貨的民。』
I'll be able to loot them—I'll rob them of their possessions. I'll attack those places that were once ruined but now are inhabited again. I'll attack a people brought back from the other nations, who now own livestock and possessions, living in the center of the country.’
13 示巴人、底但人、他施的客商，和其間的少壯獅子都必問你說：『你來要搶財為擄物嗎？你聚集軍隊要奪貨為掠物嗎？要奪取金銀，擄去牲畜、財貨嗎？要搶奪許多財寶為擄物嗎？』
Sheba and Dedan and the traders from Tarshish with all its strong leaders will ask, ‘Are you going to loot the place? Have you gathered your armies to rob them, to carry away silver and gold, to take cattle and possessions—to grab a great deal of plunder?’
14 「人子啊，你要因此發預言，對歌革說，主耶和華如此說：到我民以色列安然居住之日，你豈不知道嗎？
So prophesy, son of man, and tell Gog that this is what the Lord God says: On the day you attack aren't you going to notice that my people Israel are unsuspecting?
15 你必從本地，從北方的極處率領許多國的民來，都騎着馬，乃一大隊極多的軍兵。
You'll advance from your place in the distant north, you and your many allies, everyone riding horses, a huge number of men, a massive army.
16 歌革啊，你必上來攻擊我的民以色列，如密雲遮蓋地面。末後的日子，我必帶你來攻擊我的地，到我在外邦人眼前，在你身上顯為聖的時候，好叫他們認識我。
You will attack my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land. Gog, in the last days I will send you to attack my land, so that the nations may acknowledge me as holy when I reveal myself to them by what I do through you.
17 主耶和華如此說：我在古時藉我的僕人以色列的先知所說的，就是你嗎？當日他們多年預言我必帶你來攻擊以色列人。」
This is what the Lord God says: Aren't you the one of whom I spoke about long ago through my servants, the prophets of Israel? During that time didn't they prophesy for years that I would have you come and attack them?
18 主耶和華說：「歌革上來攻擊以色列地的時候，我的怒氣要從鼻孔裏發出。
Now on that day, the day when Gog comes to attack the country of Israel, I will become very angry, declares the Lord God.
19 我發憤恨和烈怒如火說：那日在以色列地必有大震動，
In my passionate, furious anger I announce that at that time a violent earthquake will hit of the country of Israel.
20 甚至海中的魚、天空的鳥、田野的獸，並地上的一切昆蟲，和其上的眾人，因見我的面就都震動；山嶺必崩裂，陡巖必塌陷，牆垣都必坍倒。」
Everything that lives on the earth will tremble at my presence—the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the wild animals, every creature that runs upon the ground, and every human being. The mountains will be torn down, the cliffs will collapse, and every wall will be knocked to the ground.
21 主耶和華說：「我必命我的諸山發刀劍來攻擊歌革；人都要用刀劍殺害弟兄。
I will call for an attack on Gog from all my mountains, declares the Lord God. Everyone will attack his brother with sword.
22 我必用瘟疫和流血的事刑罰他。我也必將暴雨、大雹與火，並硫磺降與他和他的軍隊，並他所率領的眾民。
I will punish him with disease and bloodshed. I will send rainstorms, hailstones, fire, and sulfur down on him and his army, and on the armies of his many allies.
23 我必顯為大，顯為聖，在多國人的眼前顯現；他們就知道我是耶和華。」
I will demonstrate my true power and holiness, revealing myself to many nations. Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
