< Ezekiel 38 >

1 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
2 "Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
“Foha ʻoe tangata, fakahanga ho mata kia Koki, ʻae fonua ko Mekoki, ʻaia ʻoku ʻeiki lahi hake ʻia Meseke, pea mo Tupale, pea kikite kiate ia,
3 and say, 'Thus says the LORD: "Look, I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
Mo ke pehē, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, ʻe Koki, ʻoku ou tuʻu au kiate koe, ʻa koe ko e ʻeiki lahi ʻi Meseke, pea mo Tupale;
4 and I will turn you around, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them armed with swords;
Pea te u fakafoki koe ki mui, pea te u ʻai ʻae mātaʻu ki ho ngutu, pea te u fusi mai ʻa koe, mo hoʻo kau tau kotoa pē, ʻae fanga hoosi, mo e kau heka hoosi, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku kofu fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻio, ʻae fuʻu tokolahi ʻoku toʻo ʻae fakaū mo e pā, pea ʻoku nau taki taha toʻo mo e heletā ʻi honau nima;
5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
‌ʻA Peasia, mo ʻItiopea, mo Lipea, fakataha mo kinautolu; ʻoku ʻai kotoa pē ʻekinautolu ʻae pā, mo e tatā ki he tau:
6 Gomer, and all his troops; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his hordes; even many peoples with you.
‌ʻA Komela, pea mo ʻene ngaahi matatau; ʻae fale ʻo Tokama mei he feituʻu tokelau, mo ʻene faʻahitaʻu ʻaʻana; pea mo e kakai tokolahi kuo fakataha mo koe.
7 "'"Be ready and stay ready, you and all your companies who are assembled to you, and be a guard to them.
Ke ke teuteu pe koe, pea ke teuteu pe maʻau, ʻa koe, mo e kakai kotoa pē kuo fakataha mai kiate koe, pea ke leʻohi ʻe koe kiate kinautolu.
8 After many days you shall be summoned: in the latter years you shall come to a land that is restored from war, a gathering from many peoples on the mountains of Israel, that had long been in ruins. Its people were brought out from the peoples, and all of them now live securely.
Hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho lahi ʻe fai ʻae ʻaʻahi kiate koe: te ke toe hoko mai ʻi he ngaahi taʻu fakamui, ki he fonua kuo fakamoʻui mai mei he heletā, pea ʻe tānaki koe mei he ngaahi kakai tokolahi, ki he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe lala ʻo fuoloa: ʻio, ʻe ʻomi ia mei he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea te nau nofo malu kotoa pē ʻakinautolu.
9 You shall advance, coming like a storm. You will be like a cloud covering the land, you, all your troops, and the many other peoples with you."
Te ke ʻalu hake, pea hoko mai ʻo hangē ko e taufa matangi, pea te ke hangē ko e ʻao ke ʻufiʻufi ʻae fonua, ʻa koe, mo hoʻo ngaahi matatau, mo e kakai tokolahi ʻe fakataha mo koe.”
10 "'"Thus says the LORD: "It shall happen on that day, that thoughts shall come into your mind, and you shall devise an an evil scheme:
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua hoko foki ʻo pehē, “ʻI he kuonga pe ko ia, ʻe hū ʻae ngaahi meʻa ki ho loto, pea te ke fakakaukau ai ki ha ngāue kovi:
11 and you shall say, 'I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to those who who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates;
Pea te ke lea ʻo pehē, Te u ʻalu hake ki he fonua ʻoe ngaahi kolo ʻoku ʻikai ʻāʻi; te u ʻalu kiate kinautolu ʻoku mālōlō, mo nofo fiemālie, ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo, ʻoku ʻikai hanau ʻā, pe ha songo, pe ha matapā,
12 to seize spoil and carry off plunder; to turn my hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, acquired livestock and goods, who live at the center of the earth.'
Koeʻuhi ke u vete ia, mo maʻu ha koloa; ke ʻai hoku nima ki he ngaahi potu lala kuo fakakakai, pea mo e kakai ʻaia kuo tānaki mei he ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻakinautolu kuo maʻu ʻae fanga manu mo e koloa, pea ʻoku nau nofo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fonua.
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all its young warriors will say to you, 'Have you assembled your armies to carry off plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to to seize great spoil?"'"
‌ʻE pehē mai kiate koe ʻe Sipa, mo Tetani, mo e kau fakatau ʻi Tasisi, mo e fanga laione mui kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai, ‘Kuo ke haʻu koe ke fai ha vete? Kuo ke fakataha hoʻo kakai ke maʻu mālohi ha koloa? Ke fetuku mo ʻave ha siliva mo ha koula, ke ʻave ʻae fanga manu mo e koloa, pea ke ʻave mo e meʻa lahi ʻaupito?’”
14 "Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and tell Gog, 'Thus says the LORD: "On that day when my people Israel are dwelling securely, you will take notice?
Ko ia, foha ʻoe tangata, kikite, pea ke pehē kia Koki, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻe nofo fiemālie ʻa hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli?
15 You shall come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army;
Pea te ke haʻu mei ho potu ʻi he feituʻu tokelau, ʻa koe, mo e kakai tokolahi ʻe fakataha mo koe, ko e kau heka hoosi kotoa pē ʻakinautolu, ko e fuʻu tokolahi ʻaupito, pea ko e kau tau mālohi:
16 and you shall come up against my people Israel, as a cloud covering the land. But when this happens in future days, I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me, Gog, when through you I show my holiness in their sight."
Pea te ke hoko hake ki hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko e ʻao ke ʻufiʻufi ʻae fonua; ʻe hoko ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakamui, pea te u ʻomi koe ke tauʻi ʻa hoku fonua, koeʻuhi ke ʻiloʻi au ʻe he hiteni, ʻoka fakaongoongoleleiʻi au ʻe koe, ʻE Koki, ʻi honau ʻao.
17 "'"Thus says the LORD: "Are you the one of whom I spoke in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel, who in those days prophesied for years that I would bring you against them?"
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ko koe ia ʻaia naʻaku lea ki ai ʻi muʻa ʻi heʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻakinautolu naʻe kikite ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia ki ha ngaahi taʻu lahi, ʻo pehē, Te u ʻomi koe ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu.
18 But it shall happen on that day, when Gog shall come against the land of Israel,' says the LORD, 'that my hot anger will be aroused.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē foki ʻi he kuonga pe ko ia, ʻe haʻu ʻa Koki ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli ke tauʻi ia, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻe ʻalu hake foki ʻae houhau ʻi hoku fofonga.
19 For in my zeal, in the fire of my fury, I declare that on that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
He kuo u lea ʻi heʻeku fuaʻa, pea mo e kakaha ʻo hoku tuputāmaki, Ko e moʻoni ʻe ai ʻae ngalulu fakamanavahē ʻi he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ko ia;
20 so that the fish of the sea, and the birds of the sky, and the animals of the field, and all crawling creatures who crawl on the land, and all people who are on the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence. And the mountains shall be thrown down, and the cliffs shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
Ko ia ʻe tetetete ai ʻi hoku ʻao ʻae ngaahi ika ʻoe tahi, mo e fanga manupuna ʻoe langi, ʻae fanga manu ʻoe vao, mo e meʻa totolo kotoa pē, ʻoku ngaolo ʻi he funga ʻo māmani, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he funga ʻo māmani, pea ʻe holoki hifo ʻae ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻe holo mo e ngaahi potu lilifa, pea ʻe hinga ki lalo ki he kelekele ʻae ngaahi ʻā kotoa pē.
21 I will call for a sword against him on all my mountains,' says the LORD: 'every man's sword shall be against his brother.
Pea te u ui mai ʻae heletā kiate ia, ʻi hoku ngaahi moʻunga kotoa pē, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: ʻe tuʻu taki taha ʻae tangata mo ʻene heletā ke tauʻi ʻa hono tokoua.
22 With pestilence and with bloodshed I will enter into judgment with him; and I will rain on him, and on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, torrential rains and hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
Pea te u fai mo ia ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha mo e lilingi toto; pea te u fakaʻauha kiate ia, mo ʻene ngaahi matatau, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoku fakataha mo ia, ko e lovai fakamanavahē, mo e ʻuha maka lalahi, mo e afi, mo e sulifa.
23 I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.'
‌ʻE pehē ʻa ʻeku fakaongoongoleleiʻi au ʻeau pe, mo hoku fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi; pea ʻe ʻiloʻi au ʻe he mata ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga lahi, pea te nau ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
