Ezekiel 38
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
Datanglah firman TUHAN kepadaku:
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,
"Hai anak manusia, tujukanlah mukamu kepada Gog di tanah Magog, yaitu raja agung negeri Mesekh dan Tubal dan bernubuatlah melawan dia
3 and say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Gog, you who rule Meshech and Tubal, I am opposed to you.
dan katakanlah: Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Lihat, Aku akan menjadi lawanmu, hai Gog raja agung negeri Mesekh dan 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.
Aku akan menarik engkau dengan mengenakan kelikir pada rahangmu dan membawa engkau ke luar beserta seluruh tentaramu, yaitu pasukan berkuda, semuanya berpakaian lengkap, suatu kumpulan orang banyak dengan perisai besar dan kecil dan semuanya berpedang di tangannya.
5 [Armies from] Persia, Ethiopia, and Put/Libya will also come, all of them with shields and helmets.
Orang Persia, Etiopia, dan Put menyertai mereka dan semuanya dengan perisai dan ketopong;
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.’
orang Gomer dengan seluruh bala tentaranya, Bet-Togarma dari utara sekali dengan seluruh bala tentaranya, banyak bangsa menyertai engkau.
7 [Tell Gog, ] ‘Get ready and be prepared to be the commander of all those groups of soldiers.
Bersedialah dan bersiaplah engkau dengan semua kumpulan orang yang menggabungkan diri dengan engkau dan jadilah pelindung bagi mereka.
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.
Sesudah waktu yang lama sekali engkau akan mendapat perintah; pada hari yang terkemudian engkau akan datang di sebuah negeri yang dibangun kembali sesudah musnah karena perang, dan engkau menuju suatu bangsa yang dikumpul dari tengah-tengah banyak bangsa di atas gunung-gunung Israel yang telah lama menjadi reruntuhan. Bangsa ini telah dibawa ke luar dari tengah bangsa-bangsa dan mereka semuanya diam dengan aman tenteram.
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.
Engkau muncul seperti angin badai dan datang seperti awan yang menutupi seluruh bumi, engkau beserta seluruh bala tentaramu dan banyak bangsa menyertai engkau.
10 But this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: On that day, you will have an idea about [DOU] doing an evil thing.
Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Pada hari itu timbullah niat dalam hatimu dan engkau membuat rancangan jahat.
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.
Engkau berkata: Aku akan bangkit bergerak menyerang tanah yang kota-kotanya tanpa tembok dan akan mendatangi orang-orang yang hidup tenang-tenang dan diam dengan aman tenteram; mereka semuanya diam tanpa tembok atau palang atau pintu gerbang.
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.”
Engkau bermaksud untuk merampas dan menjarah dan mengacungkan tanganmu terhadap reruntuhan-reruntuhan yang sudah didiami kembali dan menyerang umat-Ku yang dikumpulkan dari tengah bangsa-bangsa. Mereka sudah mempunyai ternak dan harta benda dan mereka diam di pusat bumi.
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]?”’
Negeri Syeba dan Dedan beserta pembeli-pembeli barangnya, negeri Tarsis beserta pedagang-pedagangnya akan berkata kepadamu: Apakah engkau datang untuk merampas dan mengumpulkan sekutumu untuk menjarah, untuk mengangkut perak dan emas, untuk melarikan ternak dan harta benda dan untuk melakukan perampasan yang hebat sekali?
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.
Sebab itu, bernubuatlah, hai anak manusia dan katakanlah kepada Gog: Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Ketika umat-Ku Israel sedang diam dengan aman tenteram, pada waktu itulah engkau akan bergerak
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.
dan datang dari tempatmu dari utara sekali, engkau dengan banyak bangsa yang menyertai engkau, mereka semuanya mengendarai kuda, suatu kumpulan yang besar dan suatu pasukan yang kuat.
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.
Engkau bangkit melawan umat-Ku Israel seperti awan yang menutupi seluruh bumi. Pada hari yang terkemudian akan terjadi hal itu dan Aku akan membawa engkau untuk melawan tanah-Ku, supaya bangsa-bangsa mengenal Aku, pada saat Aku menunjukkan kekudusan-Ku kepadamu di hadapan mereka, hai Gog.
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.
Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Engkaulah itu tentang siapa Aku sudah berfirman pada hari-hari dahulu kala dengan perantaraan hamba-hamba-Ku, yaitu nabi-nabi Israel, yang bertahun-tahun bernubuat pada waktu itu, bahwa Aku akan membawa engkau melawan umat-Ku.
18 [So] this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say will happen: When your [army] attacks Israel, I will be very angry with you.
Pada waktu itu, pada saat Gog datang melawan tanah Israel, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH, amarah-Ku akan timbul. Dalam murka-Ku,
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].
dalam cemburu-Ku dan dalam api kemurkaan-Ku Aku akan berfirman: Pada hari itu pasti terjadi gempa bumi yang dahsyat di tanah 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.
Ikan-ikan di laut, burung-burung di udara, binatang-binatang hutan, segala binatang melata yang merayap di bumi dan semua manusia yang ada di atas bumi akan gentar melihat wajah-Ku. Gunung-gunung akan runtuh, lereng-lereng gunung akan longsor dan tiap tembok akan roboh ke tanah.
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.
Dan Aku akan memanggil segala macam kekejutan terhadap Gog, demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH, sehingga pedang seorang akan memakan yang lain.
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.
Aku akan menghukum dia dengan sampar dan tumpahan darah; Aku akan menurunkan hujan lebat, rambun, api dan hujan belerang ke atasnya dan ke atas tentaranya dan ke atas banyak bangsa yang menyertai dia.
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].’”
Aku akan menunjukkan kebesaran-Ku dan kekudusan-Ku dan menyatakan diri-Ku di hadapan bangsa-bangsa yang banyak, dan mereka akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah TUHAN.
