< Ezekiel 38 >

1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
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,
tami capa Magog ram e Rosh hoi Meshek hoi Tubal kahrawikung kacuepounge Gog taranlahoi kangdout sin haw, ahni taranlahoi pâpho haw.
3 and say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Gog, you who rule Meshech and Tubal, I am opposed to you.
Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Khenhaw! Rosh, Meshek, hoi Tubal bawi Gog, nang hateh na taran.
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.
Na ban sak vaiteh, na pâkha dawk hradang hoi na sawn han, na ransanaw hoi marangnaw, marangransanaw hoi puengcang hoi, kamthoupnaw, bahling, bahling kathoeng a sin awh teh, tahloi kasinnaw hah ka thokhai han.
5 [Armies from] Persia, Ethiopia, and Put/Libya will also come, all of them with shields and helmets.
Persia, Ethiopia, Libia hoi abuemlah bahling hoi sumluhuem kaawmnaw hah,
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 a ransahu hahoi Togarmah, imthung hoi atunglae ram a poutnae, ransahu pueng hoi nang koe kaawm e tami moikapap hoi a kâbang awh han.
7 [Tell Gog, ] ‘Get ready and be prepared to be the commander of all those groups of soldiers.
Kâhruetcuet, coungkacoe kârakueng lahoi awm, nang nama hoi nang koe kamkhueng e tamihunaw hoi ahnimouh karingkung lah awmh.
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.
Hnin moi a loum hnukkhu, nang teh uknae kâ na tawn han, tahloi dawk hoi na hlout vaiteh, miphunnaw thung hoi rasa e khoca moikasawlah kingdi lah kaawm e, Isarel monnaw lathueng, bout a tâcokhai e khocanaw ao awhnae koe, hma lae tueng dawk nang ni na tuk han. Hote khocanaw teh, miphunnaw thung dawk hoi tâcokhai e lah ao teh ram pueng karoumcalah ao toteh,
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.
hahoi na luen vaiteh, tûilî patetlah na tho han, nang koe kaawm e ransahu pueng hoi, nang koevah tami moikapap e hah tâmai ni ram muen kayo e patetlah na o awh han.
10 But this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: On that day, you will have an idea about [DOU] doing an evil thing.
Hahoi Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, hote hnin dawk teh, nang ni bangpueng na pouk vaiteh, kahawihoehe pouknae na tawn vaiteh,
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.
rapan ka tawn hoeh e kho hoi ram hah ka lawp han, karoumcalah kaawm rumram e hah la ao awh vaiteh, rapan tawn laipalah kho ka sak e longkha hoi tarennae sum ka tawn hoeh e hah, ka tuk han telah na lung dawk hoi na ti han.
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.”
Nangmae na hnopainaw na lawp awh han. Ahmaloe kingdi ni teh, atu tami a onae hmuennaw hah miphun pueng thung hoi na pâkhueng vaiteh, saring hoi hnopai moikapap a tawn awh teh, ram lungui dawk kaawmnaw thoseh, ka tuk han telah na pouk han.
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 hoi Dedan, Tarshish hno kayawtnaw hoi Sendektancanaw ni, nang koevah hnopai la hanelah na tho toung maw, hnopainaw lawp hanelah na tamihunaw na pâkhueng toe khe. Ngun hoi sui saringhu hoi hnopai moikapap lawp pouh vaiteh, na ka lat pouh hane doeh khe, na ti pouh han telah ati.
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.
Hatdawkvah, tami capa lawk pâpho haw, Gog koevah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, hote hnin, ka tami Isarelnaw karoumcalah ao awh nahane hnin hah na panuek hoeh na maw.
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.
Atunglae ram a poutnae koe e hmuen koehoi nang hoi nama koe tami moikapap, marang dawk kâcui e ka lentoe e tamihu, athakaawme ransahu hoi a tho awh han.
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.
Tâmai ni ram muen a ramuk e patetlah ka tami Isarelnaw taranlahoi na tho han, atueng a hnukteng toteh, kaie ram tuk hanelah na ceikhai awh han, Oe! Gog ahnimae hmaitung nang dawk thoung sak e lah ao toteh, miphunnaw ni na panue awh han.
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.
Hahoi Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, ayan hoi kaie thaw katawkkung Isarel profetnaw, hatnae kum moikasaw lah lawk ouk ka dei boi e naw ni, ahnimouh tuk hanelah ka ceikhai awh nahane kong ouk a dei awh e hateh nang raw na maw.
18 [So] this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say will happen: When your [army] attacks Israel, I will be very angry with you.
Hote hnin dawkvah, Isarel ram tuk hanelah Gog a tho toteh, ka lungkhueknae ka minhmai ka kamnue sak han, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
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].
Ka lungkhuek lahun nah, hote hnin dawk teh, Isarel ram dawk Tâlî pueng hoi a no han.
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.
Talî dawk e tanga hoi kalvan tavanaw hoi moithang hoi talai van dawk a vonpui hoi kâva e saringnaw hoi talai dawk e tami pueng ka hmalah a pâyaw awh han. Mon hah rahnoum sak e lah ao vaiteh, lungha hah a tip han, kalupnae rapan pueng talai dawk koung a tip han, telah ka dei.
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.
Kaie monnaw dawk Gog tuk hanelah tahloi hah ka kaw vaiteh, tami pueng e tahloi ni a hmaunawngha hah a thut han telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
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.
Kâtheinae lacik patawnae lahoi runae ka poe han. Ama hoi a ransahu hoi ama koe e tami moikapap e lathueng vah, puenghoi ka nung e khotui hoi roun kalenpounge hmai hoi ganhmai kho lah ka rak sak 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].’”
Hottelah kai teh, kama hoi kama kâsungren sak vaiteh, kama hoi kama kâthoung sak han, kai teh BAWIPA lah ka o tie a panue awh han.
