Ezekiel 38
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
2 Son of man Set thy face against Gog of the land of the Magog, Prince of Rosh Meshech and Tubal, - And prophesy concerning 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 thou shalt say, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, — Behold me! against thee O Gog, Prince of Rosh, 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 Therefore I will turn thee about, and will put hooks in thy jaws, —and bring thee forth and all thine army. Horses and horsemen Clothed with gorgeous attire, all of them, A mighty gathered host With shield and buckler handling swords, all of them:
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 Ethiopia and Libya 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 her hordes, The house of Togarmah the remote men of the North and all his hordes, 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 ready, and show thyself ready, Thou and all thy gathered host who have gathered themselves unto thee, — And become thou for me a guard.
“Nɔ klalo, nàdzra ɖo, wò kple ameha gã siwo ƒo ƒu ɖe ŋuwò, eye nànɔ wo nu.
8 After many days, shalt thou muster thy forces, In the afterpart of the years, shalt thou enter Into the land of the remnant brought back from the sword Gathered from among many peoples, Upon the mountains of Israel which have been waste continually, — But the same! from among the peoples, hath been brought forth, And they shall dwell in security, 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 Then shalt thou come up, Like a storm, shalt thou enter, Like a cloud covering the land, shalt thou be, — Thou and all thy hordes, 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 My Lord, Yahweh, — So shall it be in that day, that thoughts will come up on thy heart.- And thou wilt devise a wicked 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 wilt say— I will go up over a land of hamlets, I will enter among them who are at rest dwelling securely, — All of them, dwelling without a wall, Who bars and doors, have none;
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 capture spoil. And take prey, - To bring back thy hand over desolate places at length inhabited And against a people gathered from among the nations, Getting herds and substance Dwelling upon the navel 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 traders of Tarshish and all her young lions, will say to thee, To capture spoil, art thou coming? And to take prey, hast thou called together thy gathered host? To carry off silver and gold To take away herds and substance, To capture 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 prophesy, Son of man, and thou shalt say to Gog. Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh: Shall it not be in that day, because my people Israel are dwelling securely: , that thou wilt rouse thyself?
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 Therefore wilt thou come out of thy place. Out of the remote parts of the North, Thou and many peoples with thee, —Riding on horses all of them, A mighty gathered host. Yea a great 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 Therefore wilt thou come up, against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land, — In the afterpart of the days, shall it be. that I will suffer thee to enter upon my land, To the end the nations may know me, when I hallow myself in thee before their eyes O Gog!
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 My Lord, Yahweh, Art thou, he of whom I spake in days aforetime by the hand of my servants the prophets of Israel, who kept on prophesying in those days for years, —That thou shouldest be suffered to come 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 So then shall it come to pass in that day, In the day when Gog entereth upon the soil of Israel, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, That mine indignation shall come up into my nostrils;
Nu siae adzɔ gbe ma gbe. Ne Gog ho aʋa ɖe Israelnyigba ŋu la, mado dziku helĩhelĩ; Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
19 Yea, in my jealousy, in the fire of mine outburst, have I spoken, - Surely in that day, shall there be a great trembling upon the soil 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 Then shall tremble before me The fishes of the sea, and The bird of the heavens and The wild beast of the field, and Every creeping thing that creepeth on the ground, and All the men who are on the face of the ground, — and The mountains, shall be torn asunder, and The steep places, shall sink down, and, Every wall, to the earth, shall be thrown.
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 Then will I call against him, every terror, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, the sword of every man against his brother, shall be;
Mana yi natso ɖe Gog ŋu le nye toawo katã dzi. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe. Ame sia ame atsɔ yi ɖe nɔvia ŋu.
22 Then will I contend with him by pestilence and by blood, - And an overflowing downpour and hail-stones fire and brimstone, will I rain Upon him, and Upon his hordes, and Upon the many peoples who are with him.
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 So will I Magnify myself and Hallow myself, and Make myself known. Before the eyes of many nations, —And they shall know that I, am Yahweh.
Ale maɖe nye gãnyenye kple kɔkɔenyenye afia, eye mana woanyam le dukɔ geɖewo me. Ekema woanya be, nyee nye Yehowa.”
