< Ezekiel 38 >

1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
2 “You human, turn and face Magog, the country where Gog [is the king]. He is [also] the ruler of [the nations of] Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy about [the terrible things that will happen to] him,
kami capa, Meshek hoi Tubal ih angraeng koek ah kaom, Magod prae thung ih, Gog khaeah angqoi ah loe, misa haih lok to taphong ah,
3 and say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Gog, you who rule Meshech and Tubal, I am opposed to you.
Angraeng Sithaw mah, Meshek hoi Tubal ukkung angraeng koek, Aw Gog, khenah, nang hae misa ah kang suek boeh:
4 [It will be as though] I will turn you around and put hooks in your jaws and bring you [to Israel]—you and all of your army, [including your] horses and men carrying weapons who ride the horses, and many other soldiers carrying large shields and small shields, all of them carrying swords.
nang to thacak ai kami ah kam laemsak let han, na kamhuh ah cakoih hoi kang tathok moe, nangmah hoi nang ih misatuh kaminawk boih, hrangnawk hoi hrang angthueng kaminawk, maiphaw congca hoi amthoep kaminawk boih, misa angvaenghaih kasin pop parai kaminawk hoi sumsen kasin kaminawk to kang hoih boih han:
5 [Armies from] Persia, Ethiopia, and Put/Libya will also come, all of them with shields and helmets.
misa angvaenghaih hoi sum lumuek angmuek Persia, Ethiopia hoi Libya kaminawk loe nang hoi nawnto om o boih tih:
6 An army from Gomer [north of Israel] will come, and an army from Togarmah far north [of Israel] will come. Armies of many nations will accompany you.’
Gomer hoi anih ih misatuh kaminawk, aluek bang angtaeng koek ah kaom Togarmah hoi anih ih misatuh kaminawk boih doeh, nang hoi nawnto om o tih.
7 [Tell Gog, ] ‘Get ready and be prepared to be the commander of all those groups of soldiers.
Amsak coek hoiah om ah, nangmah hoi na taengah pakhueng ih kaminawk boih, amsak o coek ah loe, nihcae to toep oh.
8 At some future time, I will command you to lead those armies to attack [Israel], a country whose [buildings] have been rebuilt after [they were destroyed in] wars. Their people will have been brought back from many nations [to live again] on the hills of Israel, which had been deserted for a long time. They had been brought back from [other] nations and will be living peacefully.
Ni paroeai laemh pacoengah nang khaeah kang paqaih han; saning nazetto maw akra pacoengah, saning paroeai kapong sut, Israel maenawk nui ih, paroeai kaminawk thung hoiah qoih ih kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen, sumsen hoi loih kaminawk ih prae thungah misatuk hanah na kun tih; nihcae loe prae kaminawk salak hoiah hoih ih kami ah oh o, nihcae loe misa monghaih hoiah khosah o tih.
9 You and all those armies from many nations will go up to Israel, advancing like [SIM] a big storm. Your army will be like a huge cloud that covers the land.
Nang loe takhi sae baktiah nang toeng o tahang tih, nangmah hoi nangmah khaeah kaom, na misatuh kaminawk boih hoi pop parai kaminawk loe tamai mah khuk khoep ih prae baktiah na om o tih, tiah thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
10 But this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: On that day, you will have an idea about [DOU] doing an evil thing.
Angraeng Sithaw mah, To naah na palung thungah poekhaih to om ueloe, kasae poekhaih na tawn tih:
11 You will say [to yourself], “My [army] will invade a country where the villages do not have walls around them. We will attack people who are peaceful and do not suspect/think [that they will be attacked]. Their towns and villages do not have walls with gates and bars.
to naah nang mah, Sipae kaom ai avang, sipae takraenghaih kaom ai, khongkha doeh kaom ai, mawnhaih katawn ai, kamongah khosah kaminawk khaeah ka caeh moe,
12 So [it will be easy for] us to attack the people who are living again in those towns that were previously destroyed. They are people who have been gathered from many countries [where they had lived for many years], people who now live safely in their land with all their livestock and other possessions. They are living in the country that is in the middle of the most important countries (OR, [that they think is] [IRO] the most important country) in the world. Our soldiers will take away [DOU] all their valuable possessions.”
nihcae ih hmuen to ka lomh pae han, canghniah kapong sut, vaihi kami ohhaih ahmuennawk, prae um ah kaom hmuennawk hoi pacah ih moinawk katawn mangh, prae kaminawk salak hoiah tacuu let ih kaminawk nuiah misatukhaih ban ka phok han, tiah na thui pae tih, tiah thuih.
13 [Then people of] Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and nearby villages will come and say to you, “Are you gathering all your soldiers in order to [attack Israel and] take away all their silver and gold? [Do you plan] to take away their livestock and all their other valuable possessions [DOU]?”’
Sheba kaminawk, Dedan kaminawk hoi Tarshish ih hmuenmae zawhhaih sah kaminawk, thaom kaipuinawk mah, nang khaeah, Nang loe hmuenmae lomh han ih maw nang zoh? Sui hoi sum kanglungnawk, tacongnawk hoi pacah ih moinawk to lak moe, hmuenmae lomh han ih maw nang zoh? tiah na naa o tih.
14 Therefore, you human, prophesy about Gog and say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: At that time, when my people of Israel are living safely, you will certainly think about that.
To pongah kami capa, Gog khaeah, Angraeng Sithaw mah, Kai ih kami Israelnawk loe kamongah khosak o, tito na panoek!
15 So you will come from your place far north [of Israel], with the armies of many [other] nations, all riding horses, a huge army.
To naah nang loe nangmah hoi nangmah khaeah kaom kaminawk, hrang angthueng kaminawk, paroeai pop kaminawk, thacak misatuh kaminawk hoi angthla parai aluek bang hoiah na caeh tih:
16 You will march toward my Israeli people, and [your soldiers] will cover the land like a huge cloud. Gog, I will bring your army to attack the country that belongs to me, but [what I do] for you will show the people of other nations that I am holy.
tamai mah prae khuk khoep baktih toengah, kai ih kami Israelnawk to na tuh tih; hmabang ni nito naah loe, Aw Gog, ka prae tuk hanah nang to kang hoih han, nang rang hoiah nihcae hmaa ah ka ciimhaih kam tuengsak naah loe, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah kai to panoek o tih, tiah thuih, tiah thuih pae han ang naa.
17 This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say to Gog: In past years, when I gave messages to my servants, the prophets [in Israel], there were messages [RHQ] about you. At that time, they prophesied for [many] years that I would bring your [armies] to attack my people.
Angraeng Sithaw mah, Israel nang to misa kang tuksak han, tiah canghnii hoi saning paroeai thungah, ka tamna Israel tahmaanawk patohhaih rang hoiah ka thuih ih lok loe, Gog nang thuih koehhaih ih na ai maw? tiah thuih.
18 [So] this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say will happen: When your [army] attacks Israel, I will be very angry with you.
To na niah loe hae tiah om tih, Gog mah Israel prae to tuk naah, palung ka phuihaih to angphong tih, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
19 I will be very furious, and to show that I am angry, there will be a great earthquake in Israel, [where your armies will be].
To na niah loe Israel prae thungah paroeai tasoehhaih to om tih, tiah uthaih hoi hmai baktiah kamngaeh palungphuihaih hoiah ka thuih boeh;
20 The fish in the sea, the birds, the wild animals, and the animals/creatures that crawl on the ground, and all the people on the earth will tremble because of what I [am doing]. Mountains will fall down, cliffs will crumble, and walls everywhere will fall to the ground.
to naah tuipui thung ih tanganawk, van ih tavaanawk, taw ih moinawk, long ah kavak moinawk, long nuiah kaom kaminawk boih, ka hmaa ah tasoeh o tih, maenawk tanim o boih ueloe, sipaenawk doeh long ah amtimh o boih tih.
21 Gog, on all the mountains in the country that belongs to me I will cause your soldiers to fight against each other with their swords.
Gog to misa tuk hanah kaimah ih maenawk boih ah sumsen to ka suek han, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih: kami boih maeto hoi maeto sumsen hoiah ang saek o tih.
22 I will punish [MTY] you [and your soldiers] with plagues and murders [MTY]. And I will send down [from the sky], on you and your troops that have come from many nations, huge amounts of rain and hail and burning sulfur.
Anih to nathaih kasae, athii palonghaih hoiah lok ka caek han; angmah hoi anih ih misatuh kaminawk, angmah hoi nawnto kaom kaminawk nuiah, kho kang zohsak han, kalen khotui, qaetui, kaat hmai hoiah kangbaeh qaetui to ka kraksak han.
23 By doing that, I will cause [the people of] many nations to know that I am very great and holy, and they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do the things that I say that I will do].’”
To tiah ka lensawkhaih hoi ciimcaihaih to kam tuengsak moe, prae kaminawk boih hmaa ah ka panoeksak han, to naah nihcae mah Kai loe Angraeng ni, tito panoek o tih, tiah thuih.
