< Ezekiel 38 >
1 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:
The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Sine čovječji, okreni lice ka Gogu, u zemlji Magogu, velikom knezu Mešeka i Tubala, prorokuj protiv njega.
"Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 Reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo me na te, Gože, veliki kneže Mešeka i Tubala!
and say, 'Thus says the LORD: "Look, I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4 Namamit ću te i metnut ću ti žvale u čeljusti, izvest ću tebe i svu tvoju vojsku - konje i konjanike, silno mnoštvo u potpunoj opremi - sve u oklopima i sa štitovima, sve vične maču.
and I will turn you around, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them armed with swords;
5 S njima je i Perzija, Etiopija i Put - svi sa štitovima i pod kacigama;
Persia, Ethiopia, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
6 zatim Gomer i sve čete njegove, Bet Togarma s krajnjega sjevera i sve čete njezine - silan narod s tobom!
Gomer, and all his troops; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his hordes; even many peoples with you.
7 Dobro se spremi ti i sve mnoštvo što se oko tebe skupilo i stani mu na čelo!
"'"Be ready and stay ready, you and all your companies who are assembled to you, and be a guard to them.
8 Poslije mnogo dana dobit ćeš zapovijed; poslije mnogo godina navalit ćeš na zemlju, izbavljenu od mača i skupljenu iz mojih naroda, na gore Izraelove, nekoć zadugo puste: otkako ih izvedoh iz naroda, svi spokojno žive.
After many days you shall be summoned: in the latter years you shall come to a land that is restored from war, a gathering from many peoples on the mountains of Israel, that had long been in ruins. Its people were brought out from the peoples, and all of them now live securely.
9 Dići ćeš se, doći kao nevrijeme, kao oblak što prekrije zemlju, ti i tvoje čete, a s vama sila naroda!'
You shall advance, coming like a storm. You will be like a cloud covering the land, you, all your troops, and the many other peoples with you."
10 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'U onaj će ti se dan misli rojiti u srcu i skovat ćeš zao naum.
"'"Thus says the LORD: "It shall happen on that day, that thoughts shall come into your mind, and you shall devise an an evil scheme:
11 Reći ćeš: 'Hajde da se dignem na zemlju nebranjenu, da navalim na miran narod koji spokojno živi bez zidina i bez prijevornica i bez vrata:
and you shall say, 'I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to those who who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates;
12 pa da se plijena naplijenim i pljačke napljačkam - da ruku stavim na razvaline opet napučene i na narod iz narÄodÄa sakupljen, koji se bavi stadima i imanjem i živi u središtu zemlje.'
to seize spoil and carry off plunder; to turn my hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, acquired livestock and goods, who live at the center of the earth.'
13 Šeba, Dedan i trgovci taršiški i svi njihovi lavići pitat će te: 'Zar zato dolaziš plijeniti? I zar si radi pljačke toliku gomilu skupio da odneseš srebro i zlato, da otmeš stoku i imanje i da se plijena velikoga naplijeniš?'
Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all its young warriors will say to you, 'Have you assembled your armies to carry off plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to to seize great spoil?"'"
14 Zato prorokuj, sine čovječji, i reci Gogu: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: U onaj dan kad narod moj izraelski bude spokojno živio, ti ćeš se podići!
"Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and tell Gog, 'Thus says the LORD: "On that day when my people Israel are dwelling securely, you will take notice?
15 Doći ćeš iz svoga sjedišta, s krajnjega sjevera, ti i s tobom mnogo naroda, sve samih konjanika, silno mnoštvo, golema vojska.
You shall come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army;
16 Navalit ćeš na Izraela, narod moj, kao oblak kad pokrije zemlju. U posljednje dane dovest ću te na svoju zemlju da me narodi upoznaju, kad na tebi, Gože, njima naočigled, pokažem svetost svoju.'
and you shall come up against my people Israel, as a cloud covering the land. But when this happens in future days, I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me, Gog, when through you I show my holiness in their sight."
17 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Nisi li ti onaj o kome sam govorio, u davne dane, preko slugu svojih, proroka Izraelovih, koji u ono vrijeme prorokovaše da ću te na njih dovesti?
"'"Thus says the LORD: "Are you the one of whom I spoke in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel, who in those days prophesied for years that I would bring you against them?"
18 U onaj dan kad Gog navali na zemlju Izraelovu - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - gnjev će mi iz nosa planuti.
But it shall happen on that day, when Gog shall come against the land of Israel,' says the LORD, 'that my hot anger will be aroused.
19 U ljubomori svojoj i u ognju jarosti svoje odlučih: U onaj dan bit će silan potres u zemlji Izraelovoj.
For in my zeal, in the fire of my fury, I declare that on that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20 I trest će se poda mnom ribe morske i ptice nebeske, poljske zvijeri i gmazovi što gmižu po zemlji i svi ljudi što žive na njoj. Planine će se razvaliti, vrleti popadati i sve se zidine porušiti!
so that the fish of the sea, and the birds of the sky, and the animals of the field, and all crawling creatures who crawl on the land, and all people who are on the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence. And the mountains shall be thrown down, and the cliffs shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 I po svim svojim gorama pozvat ću na njega mač - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - s mačem će se brat na brata dići!
I will call for a sword against him on all my mountains,' says the LORD: 'every man's sword shall be against his brother.
22 Sudit ću mu kugom i krvlju. I spustit ću silan pljusak, i kamenje tÓuče, oganj i sumpor na nj, na njegove čete i na mnogi narod koji bude s njime.
With pestilence and with bloodshed I will enter into judgment with him; and I will rain on him, and on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, torrential rains and hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
23 I uzveličat ću se, posvetiti i objaviti pred svim narodima, i znat će da sam ja Jahve.'
I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.'
