< Ezekiel 39 >
1 Thou therefore son of man. Prophesy against Gog, and thou shalt say, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh: Behold me! against thee O Gog Prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal.
Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Master YHWH; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
2 Therefore will I turn thee about and lead thee on, and cause thee to come up out of the remote parts of the North, - And will bring thee in upon the mountains of Israel;
And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, - And thine arrows—out of thy right hand, will I cause to fall.
And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Upon the mountains of Israel, shalt thou fall, Thou and all thy hordes, and the peoples who are with thee, — To birds of prey of every wing. and the wild beast of the field, will I give thee for food:
Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Upon the, face of the field, shalt thou fall, - For I, have spoken, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Sovereign YHWH.
6 And I will send a fire into Magog, And among them who are dwelling in the Coastlands securely, — So shalt thou know that I am Yahweh.
And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am YHWH.
7 And my holy Name, will I make known in the midst of my people Israel, And will not suffer my holy Name to be profaned any more, — So shall the nations know that, I am Yahweh, Holy in Israel.
So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am YHWH, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Lo! it is coming, and shall be brought to pass, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh, -the same, is the day whereof I had spoken.
Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Sovereign YHWH; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
9 Then shall go forth the dwellers of the cities of Israel and shall make fires of the weapons and burn them, Both buckler and shield, bow and arrows, and handstaff and spear, - And shall make fires of them seven years;
And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
10 And they shall not take wood out of the field Neither shall they cut down out of the forests, - For of the armour, shall they make fires, - So shall they spoil those who spoiled them And prey on those who preyed on them, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Sovereign YHWH.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day that I will give to Gog a place of memorial for burial in Israel even the valley of them that pass through east of the sea, And it shall be enough to keep back them who would pass through, - and they shall bury there Gog and all his multitude, and shall call it Ge-hamon-gog. [That is "The valley of the multitude of Gog."]
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamon-gog.
12 So shall the house of Israel bury them (that they may cleanse the land) —seven months;
And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13 Yea all the people of the land, shall bury, and it shall become to them a memorial, —the day that I get myself glory, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Sovereign YHWH.
14 And, men to keep at it constantly, shall they tell off Men to pass throughout the land, who with the passers-by, shall continue burying, them who have been left on the face of the land to cleanse it, — At the end of seven months, shall they make search.
And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And when any of the passers-by, in going through the land, shall see a human bone, then shall he set up near it a sign, —until the buriers have buried it, in Ge-hamon-Gog.
And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon-gog.
16 Moreover, the name of a city, shall be Hamonah ["To the multitude"] so shall they cleanse the land.
And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17 Thou, therefore son of man, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Say to the bird of every wing. And to every wild beast of the field. Assemble yourselves and come Gather yourselves from every side, unto my sacrifice which I am sacrificing for you A great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, - And ye shall eat flesh and drink blood:
And, thou son of man, thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18 The flesh of mighty men, shall ye eat, And the blood of the princes of the earth, shall ye drink.— Rams well-fed lambs and he-goats bullocks, Fatlings of Bashan all of them;
Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye are sated, And drink blood till ye are drunken, Of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you;
And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 So shall ye be sated at my table with horse and chariot team, mighty man and every man of war, — Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.
Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Sovereign YHWH.
21 Thus will I set my glory among the nations, And all the nations, shall see, My judgment which I have executed, —and My hand which I have laid upon them.
And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
22 So shall the house of Israel know that, I Yahweh, am their God, —from that day and forward;
So the house of Israel shall know that I am YHWH their Elohim from that day and forward.
23 And the nations shall know That in their iniquity, were the house of Israel exiled because they had committed treachery against me, And so I hid my face from them, — And gave them into the hand of their adversaries, And they fell by the sword all of them.
And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions, dealt I with them, — And so I hid my face from them.
According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25 Therefore— Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Now, will I bring back them of the captivity of Jacob, And have compassion upon all the house of Israel, - And will be jealous for my holy Name;
Therefore thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
26 And they shall bear their confusion, and the punishment of all their treachery wherewith they have committed treachery against me, - When they dwell upon their own soil securely, with none to make them afraid;
After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
27 When I have brought them back from among the peoples, And gathered them out of the lands of their enemies, - So will I hallow myself in them, before the eyes of the many nations;
When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28 And they shall know that, I Yahweh, am their God, When I have carried them into exile among the nations, And shall then gather them upon their own soil, - And shall no more leave any of them there.
Then shall they know that I am YHWH their Elohim, which cause them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
29 Neither will I any more hide my face from them, — In that I have poured out my spirit, upon the house of Israel, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Sovereign YHWH.
