< Ezekiel 38 >

1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
Dimteng kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh ket kunana,
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,
“Anak ti tao, iturongmo ti rupam kenni Gog, iti daga ti Magog, ti pangulo iti Mesec ken Tubal; ken agipadtoka iti maibusor kenkuana!
3 and say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Gog, you who rule Meshech and Tubal, I am opposed to you.
Ibagam, 'Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Kitaem! maibusorak kenka, Gog, a pangulo iti Mesec ken Tubal.
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.
Isu a pagbaw-ingenkanto ket kaw-itakto ti sangim; papanawenkanto a kaduam dagiti amin nga armadam, dagiti kabaliom, ken dagiti kumakabalio, aminda a nakakalasag, maysa a dakkel a bunggoy nga addaan kadagiti dadakkel ken babassit a kalasag, aminda a nakaiggem kadagiti kampilan!
5 [Armies from] Persia, Ethiopia, and Put/Libya will also come, all of them with shields and helmets.
Kadduada ti Persia, Cus, ken Put, aminda a nakakalasag ken nakahelmet!
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.’
Ti Gomer ken dagiti amin a bunggoyna, ken ti Bet Togarma, manipud kadagiti adayo a paset iti amianan, ken dagiti amin a bunggoyna! Kaduam dagiti adu a puli dagiti tattao!
7 [Tell Gog, ] ‘Get ready and be prepared to be the commander of all those groups of soldiers.
Agsaganaka! Wen, isaganam ta bagim ken dagiti bunggoymo a kadduam, ket agbalinka a panguloda.
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.
Maayabankanto kalpasan iti adu nga al-aldaw, ken kalpasan iti sumagmamano a tawen ket mapankanto iti daga a nakalasat manipud iti kampilan ken naummong manipud iti adu a puli dagiti tattao, naummong kadagiti bantay ti Israel a nagtultuloy a nadadael. Ngem mairruarto dagiti tattao ti daga kadagiti adu a puli dagiti tattao, ket agbiagdanto a natalged, aminda!
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.
Isu a sumang-atkanto a kas iti bagyo; agbalinkanto a kasla ulep a mangkalkalob iti daga, sika ken dagiti amin a bunggoymo, dagiti amin a soldado a kaduam.
10 But this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: On that day, you will have an idea about [DOU] doing an evil thing.
Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: mapasamakto daytoy iti dayta nga aldaw a mabukelto dita pusom dagiti panggep, ket agpanggepkanto kadagiti nadangkes a banbanag.'
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.
Ket ibagamto, 'Sumang-atakto iti nawaya a daga; mapanakto iti ayan dagiti tattao nga agnanaed a sitatalged, aminda nga agnanaed kadagiti awan pader wenno landokna, ken kadagiti suidad nga awan ruanganna.
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.”
Agsamsam ken agtakawakto, tapno iyegko ti imak maibusor kadagiti nadadael a kabarbaro a pagnanaedan, ken maibusor kadagiti tattao a naummong manipud kadagiti nasion, dagiti tattao nga addaan kadagiti ayup ken sanikua, ken dagiti agnanaed iti tengnga ti daga.'
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]?”’
Ti Seba ken Dedan, ken dagiti agtagtagilako iti Tarsis a kaduada dagiti agtutubo a mannakigubatda—ibagadanto amin kenka, 'Immayka kadi tapno agsamsam? Inummongmo kadi ti armadam tapno agtakaw, tapno mangitalaw iti pirak ken balitok, tapno agala iti baka ken sanikua, tapno agala kadagiti adu a mabalin a masamsam?'
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.
Agipadtoka ngarud, anak ti tao, ket ibagam kenni Gog, 'Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Iti dayta nga aldaw, inton agnaedto a sitatalged dagiti tattaok nga Israelita, saanmonto kadi a maammoan ti maipapan kadakuada?
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.
Umaykanto manipud iti lugarmo iti adayo a paset iti amianan a kaduam ti dakkel nga armada, aminda a nakasakay kadagiti kabalio, maysa a dakkel a bunggoy, maysa a dakkel nga armada?
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.
Ket rautemto dagiti tattaok nga Israelita a kas iti ulep a mangkalub iti daga. Mapasamakto daytoy kadagiti masungad nga al-aldaw, pagbalinenkanto a kabusor ti dagak, tapno maam-ammodak dagiti nasion inton makita ni Gog ti kinasantok.
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.
Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh: Saan kadi a sika ti sinarsaritak kadagiti napalabas nga aldaw babaen iti ima dagiti adipenko a profeta ti Israel, a nangipadto iti bukodda a tiempo kadagiti tawen nga iyegkanto a maibusor kadakuada?
18 [So] this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say will happen: When your [army] attacks Israel, I will be very angry with you.
Isu a mapasamakto iti dayta nga aldaw, inton rauten ni Gog ti daga ti Israel—kastoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh—kasla rummuarto iti agongko ti nalaus a pungtotko!
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].
Ta impakaammok daytoy iti kinabara ti ungetko ken umap-apuy a pungtotko: awan duadua nga addanto nakaro a ginggened iti dayta nga aldaw iti daga ti Israel.
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.
Agkintayegto dagitoy iti sangoanak—dagiti ikan iti baybay ken dagiti billit kadagiti tangatang, dagiti narungsot nga ayup kadagiti tay-ak, ken dagiti amin a sibibiag nga agkarkarayam iti daga, ken amin a tao nga adda iti rabaw ti daga. Margaayto dagiti bantay ken dagiti rankis, agingga a marba ti tunggal pader iti daga.
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.
Ta mangayabakto iti maysa a kampilan a maibusor kenkuana kadagiti amin a bantayko—kastoy ti pakaammo ti Apo a ni Yahweh—ti kampilan ti maysa a tao ket maibusorto iti kabsatna.
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.
Ket ukomekto ida babaen iti didigra, dara, bumayakabak a tudo, ken uraro nga apuy. Iyegkonto kenkuana ken kadagiti bunggoyna ken kadagiti adu a tattao a kaduana ti tudo nga asufre.
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].’”
Ta ipakitakto ti kinatan-okko, ti kinasantok ken ipakaammokto ti bagik kadagiti mata dagiti adu a nasion, ket maammoandanto a Siak ni Yahweh!”’
