< Ezekiel 38 >
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
耶和华的话临到我说:
2 'Son of man, set thy face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
“人子啊,你要面向玛各地的歌革,就是罗施、米设、土巴的王发预言攻击他,
3 and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal;
说主耶和华如此说:罗施、米设、土巴的王歌革啊,我与你为敌。
4 and I will turn thee about, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed most gorgeously, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords:
我必用钩子钩住你的腮颊,调转你,将你和你的军兵、马匹、马兵带出来,都披挂整齐,成了大队,有大小盾牌,各拿刀剑。
5 Persia, Cush, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
波斯人、古实人,和弗人,各拿盾牌,头上戴盔;
6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his bands; even many peoples with thee.
歌篾人和他的军队,北方极处的陀迦玛族和他的军队,这许多国的民都同着你。
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou guarded of them.
“那聚集到你这里的各队都当准备;你自己也要准备,作他们的大帅。
8 After many days thou shalt be mustered for service, in the latter years thou shalt come against the land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, against the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste; but it is brought forth out of the peoples, and they dwell safely all of them.
过了多日,你必被差派。到末后之年,你必来到脱离刀剑从列国收回之地,到以色列常久荒凉的山上;但那从列国中招聚出来的必在其上安然居住。
9 And thou shalt ascend, thou shalt come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many peoples with thee.
你和你的军队,并同着你许多国的民,必如暴风上来,如密云遮盖地面。”
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD: It shall come to pass in that day, that things shall come into thy mind, and thou shalt devise an evil device;
主耶和华如此说:“到那时,你心必起意念,图谋恶计,
11 and thou shalt say: I will go up against the land of unwalled villages; I will come upon them that are at quiet, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates;
说:‘我要上那无城墙的乡村,我要到那安静的民那里,他们都没有城墙,无门、无闩,安然居住。
12 to take the spoil and to take the prey; to turn thy hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, and against the people that are gathered out of the nations, that have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the middle of the earth.
我去要抢财为掳物,夺货为掠物,反手攻击那从前荒凉、现在有人居住之地,又攻击那住世界中间、从列国招聚、得了牲畜财货的民。’
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the magnates thereof, shall say unto thee: Comest thou to take the spoil? hast thou assembled thy company to take the prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take great spoil?
示巴人、底但人、他施的客商,和其间的少壮狮子都必问你说:‘你来要抢财为掳物吗?你聚集军队要夺货为掠物吗?要夺取金银,掳去牲畜、财货吗?要抢夺许多财宝为掳物吗?’
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and say unto Gog: Thus saith the Lord GOD: In that day when My people Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
“人子啊,你要因此发预言,对歌革说,主耶和华如此说:到我民以色列安然居住之日,你岂不知道吗?
15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the uttermost parts of the north, thou, and many peoples with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company and a mighty army;
你必从本地,从北方的极处率领许多国的民来,都骑着马,乃一大队极多的军兵。
16 and thou shalt come up against My people Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the end of days, and I will bring thee against My land, that the nations may know Me, when I shall be sanctified through thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
歌革啊,你必上来攻击我的民以色列,如密云遮盖地面。末后的日子,我必带你来攻击我的地,到我在外邦人眼前,在你身上显为圣的时候,好叫他们认识我。
17 Thus saith the Lord GOD: Art thou he of whom I spoke in old time by My servants the prophets of Israel, that prophesied in those days for many years, that I would bring thee against them?
主耶和华如此说:我在古时借我的仆人以色列的先知所说的,就是你吗?当日他们多年预言我必带你来攻击以色列人。”
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that My fury shall arise up in My nostrils.
主耶和华说:“歌革上来攻击以色列地的时候,我的怒气要从鼻孔里发出。
19 For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath have I spoken: Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
我发愤恨和烈怒如火说:那日在以色列地必有大震动,
20 so that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep upon the ground, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at My presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
甚至海中的鱼、天空的鸟、田野的兽,并地上的一切昆虫,和其上的众人,因见我的面就都震动;山岭必崩裂,陡岩必塌陷,墙垣都必坍倒。”
21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD; every man's sword shall be against his brother.
主耶和华说:“我必命我的诸山发刀剑来攻击歌革;人都要用刀剑杀害弟兄。
22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will cause to rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many peoples that are with him, an overflowing shower, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
我必用瘟疫和流血的事刑罚他。我也必将暴雨、大雹与火,并硫磺降与他和他的军队,并他所率领的众民。
23 Thus will I magnify Myself, and sanctify Myself, and I will make Myself known in the eyes of many nations; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
我必显为大,显为圣,在多国人的眼前显现;他们就知道我是耶和华。”
