Ezekiel 38
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
Me llegó un mensaje del Señor que decía:
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,
“Hijo de hombre, mira hacia Gog del país de Magog, el jefe de Mesec y Tubal. Profetiza contra él
3 and say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Gog, you who rule Meshech and Tubal, I am opposed to you.
y declara que esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: Cuidado, te estoy condenando, Gog, jefe de Mesec y 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.
Te enviaré en otra dirección, pondré garfios en tus fauces y te arrastraré con todo tu ejército, incluidos tus caballos, tus jinetes uniformados y un ejército de hombres con escudos grandes y pequeños y rodelas, todos blandiendo sus espadas.
5 [Armies from] Persia, Ethiopia, and Put/Libya will also come, all of them with shields and helmets.
Se unirán a ellos soldados de Persia, Cus y Put, todos equipados con escudos y cascos,
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.’
junto con Gomer y todos sus ejércitos, así como Bet-togarma de los lugares distantes del norte con todos sus ejércitos, y muchas otras naciones que se unirán a ti.
7 [Tell Gog, ] ‘Get ready and be prepared to be the commander of all those groups of soldiers.
“¡Prepárate! Asegúrate de que tú y todo tu ejército contigo estén preparados. Tú eres el que está a cargo de ellos.
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.
Mucho tiempo después serás llamado a la batalla. En los últimos años invadirás un país que se ha recuperado de la guerra. Su pueblo habrá sido reunido de muchas naciones a las montañas de Israel, que habían sido abandonadas durante mucho tiempo. Habrán sido traídos de vuelta de las naciones, y estarán todos viviendo en seguridad.
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.
Tú y todo tu ejército, y los ejércitos de muchas naciones contigo, avanzarán como una tormenta que llega, como una nube que cubre la tierra.
10 But this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: On that day, you will have an idea about [DOU] doing an evil thing.
“Esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: En ese día empezarás a pensar en cosas en tu mente, y se te ocurrirá un plan malvado.
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.
Te dirás a ti mismo: ‘Voy a atacar un país de pueblos sin defensa, un pueblo pacífico que no sospecha de un ataque. Todos viven en pueblos sin muros defensivos ni puertas con barrotes.
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.”
Podré saquearlos, les robaré sus posesiones. Atacaré los lugares que antes estaban arruinados, pero que ahora vuelven a estar habitados. Atacaré a un pueblo traído de las otras naciones, que ahora tiene ganado y posesiones, que vive en el centro del país’.
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]?”’
“Saba y Dedán y los comerciantes de Tarsis con todos sus fuertes líderes preguntará: ‘¿Vas a saquear el lugar? ¿Has reunido a tus ejércitos para robarles, para llevarse la plata y el oro, para tomar el ganado y las posesiones, para apoderarte de un gran botín?’
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.
“Así que profetiza, hijo de hombre, y dile a Gog que esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: El día que ataques, ¿no te darás cuenta de que mi pueblo Israel está desprevenido?
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.
Avanzarás desde tu lugar en el lejano norte, tú y tus muchos aliados, todos montando a caballo, un gran número de hombres, un ejército masivo.
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.
Atacarás a mi pueblo Israel como una nube que cubre la tierra. Gog, en los últimos días te enviaré a atacar mi tierra, para que las naciones me reconozcan como santo cuando me revele ante ellas por lo que hago a través de ti.
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.
“Esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: ¿No eres tú aquel del que hablé hace tiempo por medio de mis siervos, los profetas de Israel? ¿Acaso no profetizaron durante años que yo te haría venir y los atacaría?
18 [So] this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say will happen: When your [army] attacks Israel, I will be very angry with you.
Ahora bien, en ese día, el día en que Gog venga a atacar el país de Israel, me enojaré mucho, declara el Señor Dios.
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].
“En mi apasionado y furioso enojo anuncio que en ese momento se producirá un violento terremoto en el país de 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.
Todo lo que vive en la tierra temblará ante mi presencia: los peces del mar, las aves del cielo, los animales salvajes, toda criatura que corre por la tierra y todo ser humano. Las montañas serán derribadas, los acantilados se derrumbarán y todos los muros serán derribados.
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.
“Llamaré a atacar a Gog desde todas mis montañas, declara el Señor Dios. Cada uno atacará a su hermano con la espada.
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.
Lo castigaré con enfermedades y derramamiento de sangre. Enviaré tormentas de lluvia, granizo, fuego y azufre sobre él y su ejército, y sobre los ejércitos de sus numerosos aliados.
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].’”
Demostraré mi verdadero poder y santidad, revelándome a muchas naciones. Entonces reconocerán que yo soy el Señor”.
