Ezekiel 38

1 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

The word of Yahweh 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, 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!

Say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! 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.

So I will turn you around and set hooks in your jaw; I will send you out with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all of them dressed in full armor, a great company with large shields and small shields, all of them holding swords!

5 S njima je i Perzija, Etiopija i Put - svi sa štitovima i pod kacigama;

Persia, Cush, and Libya are with them, all of them with shields and helmets!

6 zatim Gomer i sve čete njegove, Bet Togarma s krajnjega sjevera i sve čete njezine - silan narod s tobom!

Gomer and all her troops, and Beth Togarmah, from the far parts of the north, and all its troops! Many peoples are with you!

7 Dobro se spremi ti i sve mnoštvo što se oko tebe skupilo i stani mu na čelo!

Get ready! Yes, prepare yourself and your troops assembled with you, and be their commander.

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.

You will be called after many days, and after some years you will go to a land that has recovered from the sword and that has been gathered from many peoples, gathered back to the mountains of Israel that had been a continuous ruin. But the land's people will be brought out of the peoples, and they will live in safety, all of them!

9 Dići ćeš se, doći kao nevrijeme, kao oblak što prekrije zemlju, ti i tvoje čete, a s vama sila naroda!'

So you will go up as a storm goes; you will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your troops, all the many soldiers with you.

10 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'U onaj će ti se dan misli rojiti u srcu i skovat ćeš zao naum.

The Lord Yahweh says this: It will happen on that day that plans will form in your heart, and you will devise wicked schemes.'

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:

Then you will say, 'I will go up to the open land; I will go to the quiet people living in safety, all of them living where there are no walls or bars, and where there are no city 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.'

I will capture booty and steal plunder, in order to bring my hand against the ruins that are newly inhabited, and against the people gathered from the nations, people who are gaining livestock and property, and who are living 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 traders of Tarshish along with all its young warriors will say to you, 'Have you come to plunder? Have you assembled your armies to take away spoil, to carry off silver and gold, to take their livestock and property and to haul away much plunder?'

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 prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: On that day, when my people Israel are living securely, will you not learn about them?

15 Doći ćeš iz svoga sjedišta, s krajnjega sjevera, ti i s tobom mnogo naroda, sve samih konjanika, silno mnoštvo, golema vojska.

You will come from your place far away in the north with a great army, all of them riding on horses, a great company, a large 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.'

You will attack my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land. In the latter days I will bring you against my land, so the nations might know me when I show myself through you, Gog, to be holy before their eyes.

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?

The Lord Yahweh says this: Are you not the one of whom I spoke in former days by the hand of my servants, the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in their own time 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.

So it will come to be in that day when Gog attacks the land of Israel—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—my wrath will mount up in my anger.

19 U ljubomori svojoj i u ognju jarosti svoje odlučih: U onaj dan bit će silan potres u zemlji Izraelovoj.

In my zeal and in the fire of my anger, I declare that on that day there will be a great earthquake 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!

They will shake before me—the fish of the sea and the birds of the skies, the beasts of the fields, and all the creatures that crawl on the earth, and every person who is on the surface of the land. The mountains will be thrown down and the cliffs will fall, until every wall falls to the earth.

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 summon a sword against him on all my mountains—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—each man's sword will 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.

Then I will judge him by plague and blood; and overflowing rain and hailstones and burning sulfur I will rain down upon him and his troops and the many nations that are with him.

23 I uzveličat ću se, posvetiti i objaviti pred svim narodima, i znat će da sam ja Jahve.'

For I will show my greatness and my holiness and I will make myself known in the eyes of the many nations, and they will know that I am Yahweh.'”
