Ezekiel 38
1 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
2 “Wuod dhano, chom wangʼi kuom Gog manie piny Magog, ma en ruoth maduongʼ e kind ruodhi mamoko mag Meshek gi Tubal, kor wach kuome
“You human, turn and face Magog, the country where Gog [is the king]. He is [also] the ruler of [the nations of] Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy about [the terrible things that will happen to] him,
3 kendo wach ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Adagi, in Gog, ruoth maduongʼ moloyo Meshek kod Tubal.
and say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Gog, you who rule Meshech and Tubal, I am opposed to you.
4 Abiro wichi mi aket olowu e dandi kendo agoli oko kaachiel gi jolweny magi duto, gi faresegi, gi joriemb faresegi momanore gi gigegi mag lweny, kod oganda mag lweny maduongʼ momanore gi kuodi madongo kod matindo, ka giduto gimilo liganglagi.
[It will be as though] I will turn you around and put hooks in your jaws and bring you [to Israel]—you and all of your army, [including your] horses and men carrying weapons who ride the horses, and many other soldiers carrying large shields and small shields, all of them carrying swords.
5 Piny Pasia, gi Kush kod Put bende nobed kodgi, ka giduto gitingʼo kuodi kendo girwako ogute mag lweny,
[Armies from] Persia, Ethiopia, and Put/Libya will also come, all of them with shields and helmets.
6 kaachiel gi Gomer gi jokedo mage duto, kod Beth Togarma man tungʼ mar nyandwat gi jokedo mage duto magin pinje mangʼeny man kodi.
An army from Gomer [north of Israel] will come, and an army from Togarmah far north [of Israel] will come. Armies of many nations will accompany you.’
7 “‘Ikri, in kaachiel gi gigi mag lweny kod jolweny molwori mondo itelnegi kudhi e kedo.
[Tell Gog, ] ‘Get ready and be prepared to be the commander of all those groups of soldiers.
8 Bangʼ ndalo mangʼeny ibiro dwar ni imanri gi gigi mag lweny. E higni mabiro ibiro monjo piny moro ma ji osebedo kodakie gi kwe maonge lweny, ma en piny ma joge nochoki oter e gode mag Israel kogol e pinje mathoth ma yande chon okethi modongʼ nono. Ne ogolgi e dier ogendini kendo koro gidak gi kwe giduto.
At some future time, I will command you to lead those armies to attack [Israel], a country whose [buildings] have been rebuilt after [they were destroyed in] wars. Their people will have been brought back from many nations [to live again] on the hills of Israel, which had been deserted for a long time. They had been brought back from [other] nations and will be living peacefully.
9 In kaachiel gi jokedo magi duto kod pinje mathoth ma jokori duto biro dhi malo, ka gidudo ka koth maduongʼ madwa chue; inichal gi bor polo moimo piny.
You and all those armies from many nations will go up to Israel, advancing like [SIM] a big storm. Your army will be like a huge cloud that covers the land.
10 “‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Ka kindeno ochopo to inibed gi paro marach.
But this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: On that day, you will have an idea about [DOU] doing an evil thing.
11 Iniwach niya, “Abiro monjo piny moro ma mier mantie ok ochiel, abiro goyo piny ma joma odakie ohero kwe kendo onge gima obadho, ma gin joma odak mak ochielo miechgi gi ohinga kendo ma ok lor dhorangeyegi gi thigo kata gi chumbe.
You will say [to yourself], “My [army] will invade a country where the villages do not have walls around them. We will attack people who are peaceful and do not suspect/think [that they will be attacked]. Their towns and villages do not have walls with gates and bars.
12 Abiro yeko kendo mecho kendo anamonj kuonde mane okethore chon to tinde ji odakie. Gin joma ne osechaki kigolo e pinje mamoko momew kod jamni kod mwandu mamoko e dier pinje mamoko.”
So [it will be easy for] us to attack the people who are living again in those towns that were previously destroyed. They are people who have been gathered from many countries [where they had lived for many years], people who now live safely in their land with all their livestock and other possessions. They are living in the country that is in the middle of the most important countries (OR, [that they think is] [IRO] the most important country) in the world. Our soldiers will take away [DOU] all their valuable possessions.”
13 Sheba gi Dedan kod jo-ohala madongo mag Tarshish kaachiel gi sibuochegi madongo biro wachoni niya, “Mit ka isebiro mar ketho gik moko? Isechoko jolweny magi mondo iyeki; mondo itingʼ fedha gi dhahabu, kendo ikaw jamni gi gik moko idhigo kendo ikaw gik moyaki mathoth?”’
[Then people of] Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and nearby villages will come and say to you, “Are you gathering all your soldiers in order to [attack Israel and] take away all their silver and gold? [Do you plan] to take away their livestock and all their other valuable possessions [DOU]?”’
14 “Kuom mano, wuod dhano, kor wach ni Gog niya: Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Odiechiengno, ka joga ma jo-Israel odak gi kwe, donge mano dibedie maberni?
Therefore, you human, prophesy about Gog and say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: At that time, when my people of Israel are living safely, you will certainly think about that.
15 Ibiro biro ka ia e gwengʼi man tungʼ mar nyandwat, in kaachiel gi pinje mangʼeny ma jokori, ka giduto giidho farese, ka gin jolweny kendo maroteke.
So you will come from your place far north [of Israel], with the armies of many [other] nations, all riding horses, a huge army.
16 Ibiro muomori ir joga Israel mana ka boche polo moumo piny. E ndalo mabiro, yaye Gog, abiro miyo iked gi pinya, mondo eka ogendini mamoko ongʼeya ka ananyisra kaka ngʼama ler ka atiyo kodi ka gineno gi wengegi.
You will march toward my Israeli people, and [your soldiers] will cover the land like a huge cloud. Gog, I will bring your army to attack the country that belongs to me, but [what I do] for you will show the people of other nations that I am holy.
17 “‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Donge in ema ne awuoyo kuomi ndalo mokalo ka atiyo gi jotichna ma jonabi mag Israel? Kindeno ne gikoro wach kuom higni mangʼeny nine abiro miyo iked kodgi.
This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say to Gog: In past years, when I gave messages to my servants, the prophets [in Israel], there were messages [RHQ] about you. At that time, they prophesied for [many] years that I would bring your [armies] to attack my people.
18 Ma e gima biro timore e odiechiengno: Ka Gog nomonj piny Israel, mirimba maliet nochiew, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.
[So] this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say will happen: When your [army] attacks Israel, I will be very angry with you.
19 Awacho ka aramo gi mirimba mager ni anami piny yiengni matek e piny Israel.
I will be very furious, and to show that I am angry, there will be a great earthquake in Israel, [where your armies will be].
20 Rech manie nam, winy manie kor polo, le manie piny, gimoro amora mamol piny e lowo kod ji duto modak e wangʼ piny notetni e nyima. Gode nomukre, kuonde modhi malo nonyumre piny kendo ohinga duto nogore piny.
The fish in the sea, the birds, the wild animals, and the animals/creatures that crawl on the ground, and all the people on the earth will tremble because of what I [am doing]. Mountains will fall down, cliffs will crumble, and walls everywhere will fall to the ground.
21 Analuong ligangla moro manotiek Gog e gode maga duto, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho. Ligangla ma ngʼato ka ngʼato nigo nokedgo mana gi owadgi.
Gog, on all the mountains in the country that belongs to me I will cause your soldiers to fight against each other with their swords.
22 Anangʼadne bura ka kelone masiche kod tho, anakel koth maduongʼ gi pe madongo kod kite maliel mach kuome kendo kuom pinje mangʼeny ma jokore.
I will punish [MTY] you [and your soldiers] with plagues and murders [MTY]. And I will send down [from the sky], on you and your troops that have come from many nations, huge amounts of rain and hail and burning sulfur.
23 Kendo kuom timo kamano ananyis duongʼna gi lerna, kendo anami angʼera e nyim ogendini mathoth. Eka giningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.’
By doing that, I will cause [the people of] many nations to know that I am very great and holy, and they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do the things that I say that I will do].’”
