Ezekiel 38
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
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, levanta tu rostro hacia Gog en tierra de Magog, jefe soberano de Mesec y Tubal, y 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.
ʼAdonay Yavé dice: ¡Oh Gog, jefe soberano de Mesec y Tubal, ciertamente Yo estoy contra ti!
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 devolveré y pondré garfios en tus quijadas. Te sacaré con todo tu ejército, caballos y jinetes, todos ellos con ropas espléndidas, gran número con escudos oblongos que cubren casi todo el cuerpo y escudos defensivos. Todos ellos portan espadas.
5 [Armies from] Persia, Ethiopia, and Put/Libya will also come, all of them with shields and helmets.
Persia, Cus y Fut están con ellos, todos con escudos y yelmos,
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 y todas sus tropas, la casa de Togarma de los confines del norte, con todas sus tropas, y muchos otros pueblos.
7 [Tell Gog, ] ‘Get ready and be prepared to be the commander of all those groups of soldiers.
Alístate y prepárate, tú y toda tu tropa que se congregó. Sé tú su caudillo.
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.
Después de muchos días recibirás órdenes. Al fin de los años vendrás a la tierra salvada de la espada, [a gente] recogida de muchos pueblos, a las montañas de Israel que fueron una desolación. Pero fue sacada de las naciones y todos viven confiadamente.
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.
Pero tú te levantarás como una tempestad. Tú, con todas tus tropas y muchos pueblos contigo, serás 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.
ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Aquel día llegarán pensamientos a tu mente, diseñarás un plan perverso:
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.
Subiré contra la tierra de pueblos sin muros. Iré contra gentes tranquilas que viven confiadas sin muros, sin cerrojos y sin puertas.
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.”
Iré para arrebatar despojos y tomar botín. Irás para poner tu mano sobre tierras solitarias ya pobladas y el pueblo recogido de entre las naciones que tiene ganado y posesiones, y vive en el centro de la tierra.
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]?”’
Sabá, Dedán, los mercaderes de Tarsis y todos sus jefes te preguntarán: ¿Llegaste a arrebatar despojos? ¿Reclutaste tu milicia para atrapar botín, para robar plata y oro, para tomar ganados y posesiones y tomar grandes despojos?
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.
Por tanto hijo de hombre, profetiza y dile a Gog: ʼAdonay Yavé dice: En aquel día, cuando mi pueblo Israel viva confiadamente, ¿no lo sabrás tú?
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.
Vendrás de tu lugar de las regiones del norte, tú y muchos pueblos contigo, todos ellos a caballo, gran multitud y ejército poderoso.
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.
Subirás contra mi pueblo Israel como una nube para cubrir la tierra. Ocurrirá en los últimos días. Yo te traeré contra mi tierra, para que las naciones me conozcan cuando Yo, oh Gog, sea santificado en ti a la vista de ellas.
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.
ʼAdonay Yavé dice: ¿Eres tú aquél de quien hablé en tiempo antiguo por medio de mis esclavos profetas de Israel, quienes profetizaron que Yo te traería contra ellos?
18 [So] this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say will happen: When your [army] attacks Israel, I will be very angry with you.
En aquel tiempo, cuando venga Gog contra la tierra de Israel, dice ʼAdonay Yavé, acontecerá que se levantará mi furor y mi ira.
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].
Porque en mi celo y en mi ardiente furor predije que ciertamente en aquel tiempo habrá un gran terremoto en la tierra 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.
de modo que los peces del mar, las aves del cielo, las bestias del campo, todo lo que repta sobre la tierra y todos los hombres que están sobre la superficie de la tierra, temblarán ante mi Presencia. Las montañas también serán derribadas, los cercos de tierra apisonada caerán y todo muro caerá a tierra.
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.
Yo llamaré a la espada contra él en todas mis montañas, dice ʼAdonay Yavé. La espada de cada uno se levantará contra su hermano.
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.
Yo entraré a juicio contra él con pestilencia y sangre. Caerá una lluvia torrencial, piedras de granizo, fuego y azufre sobre él, sus tropas y los numerosos pueblos que están con él.
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].’”
Seré engrandecido y santificado. Seré conocido ante los ojos de muchas naciones y sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.
