Ezekiel 38
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
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,
“Ame vi, trɔ wò mo ɖe Gog ŋu, ɖe Magognyigba, ame si nye amegã le Mesek kple Tubal ŋu, nàgblɔ nya ɖi ɖe eŋu,
3 and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal;
eye nàgblɔ be, ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Metso ɖe ŋuwò, O! Gog, wò si nye amegã le Mesek kple Tubal.
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:
Matrɔ wò to eme, maƒo ga ɖe wò glãƒuwo me, eye mahe wò ado goe kple wò aʋakɔ blibo la, wò sɔwo, wò sɔdolawo, ame siwo bla akpa kple ameha gã, ame siwo kpla akpoxɔnu gãwo kple ɖagbiwo, wo katã woanɔ woƒe yiwo nyem le yame.
5 Persia, Cush, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
Persia, Kus kple Put akpe ɖe wo ŋu, wo katã woakpla akpoxɔnuwo, eye woaɖɔ gakukuwo,
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.
Gomer hã kple eƒe aʋawɔlawo katã kple Bet Togarma tso keke anyiehe ke kple eƒe aʋawɔlawo katã, dukɔ geɖewo akpe ɖe ŋuwò.”
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou guarded of them.
“Nɔ klalo, nàdzra ɖo, wò kple ameha gã siwo ƒo ƒu ɖe ŋuwò, eye nànɔ wo nu.
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.
Le ŋkeke geɖewo megbe la, woabia tso asiwò be, nàbla akpa hena aʋawɔwɔ. Le ƒe siwo gbɔna me la, àho aʋa ɖe anyigba aɖe si vo tso aʋawɔwɔ me la ŋu, woƒo eƒe amewo nu ƒu tso dukɔ geɖewo me ɖe Israel ƒe to siwo nye gbegbe ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe la dzi. Woɖe wo tso dukɔwo me, eye azɔ la, wo katã wole dedie.
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.
Wò kple wò aʋawɔlawo katã kple dukɔ geɖe siwo le dziwò la, miaɖe zɔ abe ahomya ene; mianɔ abe lilikpo ene atsyɔ anyigba la dzi.”
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;
Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, susuwo aɖo ta me na wò, eye nàwɔ ɖoɖo vɔ̃ aɖe.”
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;
Àgblɔ be, “Maho aʋa ɖe du sue siwo womeglã o la ŋuti. Madze ame siwo nye ŋutifafamewo, eye womele mɔkpɔkpɔ me o la dzi; wo katã mele glikpɔwo me o, eye agbowo kple gametiwo mele wo nu o.
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.
Maha wo, eye makɔ nye asi dzi ɖe du siwo gbã, eye wogbugbɔ wo tu kple ame siwo nu woƒo ƒui tso dukɔwo me, ame siwo si lãwo kple nunɔamesiwo le, eye wole anyigba la titina la ŋu.”
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?
Seba kple Dedan kple Tarsis ƒe asitsalawo kple eƒe kɔƒewo me nɔlawo katã woagblɔ na wò be, “Ɖe nèva be yeaha mía? Ɖe nèkplɔ wò amewo vɛ be woaha mí, woatsɔ klosalo kple sika kple kesinɔnuwo kple afunyinuwo adzoea?”
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?
Eya ta Ame vi, gblɔ nya ɖi, eye nàgblɔ na Gog be, ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Gbe ma gbe ne nye amewo, Israelviwo ɖe dzi ɖi le dedinɔnɔ me la, màde dzesii oa?
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;
Àva tso wò nɔƒe le anyiehe ƒe didiƒe, wò kple dukɔ geɖe siwo akpe ɖe ŋuwò, wo katã woanɔ sɔwo dzi, ameha gã aɖe kple aʋakɔ dranyi aɖe.
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.
Àlu ɖe nye dukɔ, Israel, dzi abe lilikpo si atsyɔ anyigba la dzi ene. Le ŋkeke siwo gbɔna me la, O! Gog, mana nàtso ɖe nye anyigba ŋu, ale be dukɔwo adze sim ne mefia ɖokuinye kɔkɔe to dziwò le woƒe ŋkume.
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?
“Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Menye wòe nye ame si ŋu meƒo nu tsoe le ŋkeke siwo va yi me to nye dɔlawo, Israel ƒe nyagblɔɖilawo dzi oa? Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, wogblɔ nya ɖi ƒe geɖewo be mana nàtso ɖe wo ŋu.
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.
Nu siae adzɔ gbe ma gbe. Ne Gog ho aʋa ɖe Israelnyigba ŋu la, mado dziku helĩhelĩ; Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
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;
Le nye ŋuʋaʋã kple dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ me la, megblɔ be, le ɣe ma ɣi me la, anyigbaʋuʋu sesẽ aɖe anɔ Israelnyigba dzi.
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.
Ƒumelãwo, dziƒoxeviwo, gbemelãwo, nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe si tana le anyigba, eye ame siwo katã le anyigba dzi la adzo nyanyanya le nye ŋkume. Towo atrɔ abu, agakpewo atu wɔ, eye gli ɖe sia ɖe amu.
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.
Mana yi natso ɖe Gog ŋu le nye toawo katã dzi. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe. Ame sia ame atsɔ yi ɖe nɔvia ŋu.
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.
Madrɔ̃ ʋɔnui kple dɔvɔ̃ kple ʋukɔkɔɖi. Makɔ tsidzadza, tsikpe kple aŋɔ xɔdzo ɖe eya kple eƒe aʋakɔ kple dukɔ geɖe siwo le edzi la dzi.
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.
Ale maɖe nye gãnyenye kple kɔkɔenyenye afia, eye mana woanyam le dukɔ geɖewo me. Ekema woanya be, nyee nye Yehowa.”
