< Ezekiel 38 >

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
耶和華的話臨到我說:
2 Son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
「人子啊,你要面向瑪各地的歌革,就是羅施、米設、土巴的王發預言攻擊他,
3 And say, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
說主耶和華如此說:羅施、米設、土巴的王歌革啊,我與你為敵。
4 And I will turn you back, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you forth, and all of your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
我必用鉤子鉤住你的腮頰,調轉你,將你和你的軍兵、馬匹、馬兵帶出來,都披掛整齊,成了大隊,有大小盾牌,各拿刀劍。
5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
波斯人、古實人,和弗人,各拿盾牌,頭上戴盔;
6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with you.
歌篾人和他的軍隊,北方極處的陀迦瑪族和他的軍隊,這許多國的民都同着你。
7 Be you prepared, and prepare for yourself, you, and all your company that are assembled unto you, and be you a guard unto them.
「那聚集到你這裏的各隊都當準備;你自己也要準備,作他們的大帥。
8 After many days you shall be visited: in the latter years you shall come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
過了多日,你必被差派。到末後之年,你必來到脫離刀劍從列國收回之地,到以色列常久荒涼的山上;但那從列國中招聚出來的必在其上安然居住。
9 You shall ascend and come like a storm, you shall be like a cloud to cover the land, you, and all your bands, and many people with you.
你和你的軍隊,並同着你許多國的民,必如暴風上來,如密雲遮蓋地面。」
10 Thus says the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into your mind, and you shall think an evil thought:
主耶和華如此說:「到那時,你心必起意念,圖謀惡計,
11 And you shall say, I will go up to the land of villages without protective walls; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
說:『我要上那無城牆的鄉村,我要到那安靜的民那裏,他們都沒有城牆,無門、無閂,安然居住。
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn your hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have got cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
我去要搶財為擄物,奪貨為掠物,反手攻擊那從前荒涼、現在有人居住之地,又攻擊那住世界中間、從列國招聚、得了牲畜財貨的民。』
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto you, Are you come to take a spoil? have you gathered your company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
示巴人、底但人、他施的客商,和其間的少壯獅子都必問你說:『你來要搶財為擄物嗎?你聚集軍隊要奪貨為掠物嗎?要奪取金銀,擄去牲畜、財貨嗎?要搶奪許多財寶為擄物嗎?』
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus says the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwells safely, shall you not know it?
「人子啊,你要因此發預言,對歌革說,主耶和華如此說:到我民以色列安然居住之日,你豈不知道嗎?
15 And you shall come from your place out of the north parts, you, and many people with you, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
你必從本地,從北方的極處率領許多國的民來,都騎着馬,乃一大隊極多的軍兵。
16 And you shall come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring you against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in you, O Gog, before their eyes.
歌革啊,你必上來攻擊我的民以色列,如密雲遮蓋地面。末後的日子,我必帶你來攻擊我的地,到我在外邦人眼前,在你身上顯為聖的時候,好叫他們認識我。
17 Thus says the Lord GOD; Are you he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring you against them?
主耶和華如此說:我在古時藉我的僕人以色列的先知所說的,就是你嗎?當日他們多年預言我必帶你來攻擊以色列人。」
18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, says the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
主耶和華說:「歌革上來攻擊以色列地的時候,我的怒氣要從鼻孔裏發出。
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;
我發憤恨和烈怒如火說:那日在以色列地必有大震動,
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 earth, 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.
甚至海中的魚、天空的鳥、田野的獸,並地上的一切昆蟲,和其上的眾人,因見我的面就都震動;山嶺必崩裂,陡巖必塌陷,牆垣都必坍倒。」
21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, says the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.
主耶和華說:「我必命我的諸山發刀劍來攻擊歌革;人都要用刀劍殺害弟兄。
22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
我必用瘟疫和流血的事刑罰他。我也必將暴雨、大雹與火,並硫磺降與他和他的軍隊,並他所率領的眾民。
23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
我必顯為大,顯為聖,在多國人的眼前顯現;他們就知道我是耶和華。」
