Ezekiel 39
1 [Yahweh said to me], “You human, prophesy about [more terrible things that will happen] to Gog, and say this [to him]: ‘Gog, I am opposed to you who rule Meshech and Tubal.
Tu autem fili hominis vaticinare adversum Gog, et dices: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego super te Gog principem capitis Mosoch et Thubal:
2 I will turn you around and drag you [and your armies] from far north [of Israel] and send you to [fight on] the mountains in Israel.
et circumagam te, et educam te, et ascendere te faciam de lateribus Aquilonis: et adducam te super montes Israel.
3 When you are there, I will snatch your bows from your left hands and cause your arrows to fall from your right hands.
Et percutiam arcum tuum in manu sinistra tua, et sagittas tuas de manu dextera tua deiiciam.
4 You and all the soldiers that are with you will die on the mountains in Israel. I will give your [corpses] to be food for the birds that eat [dead] flesh, and to the wild animals.
Super montes Israel cades tu, et omnia agmina tua, et populi tui, qui sunt tecum: feris, avibus, omnique volatili, et bestiis terræ dedi te ad devorandum.
5 You will die in the open fields. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, [have said that it will happen].
Super faciem agri cades: quia ego locutus sum, ait Dominus Deus.
6 I will cause [many] fires to burn in Magog and among [all] those who live safely in the areas along their coasts, and they will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Et immittam ignem in Magog, et in his, qui habitant in insulis confidenter: et scient quia ego Dominus.
7 I will enable my Israeli people to know that I am holy. I will no longer allow people to damage my reputation, and [people in other] nations will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, am the Holy One in Israel.
Et nomen sanctum meum notum faciam in medio populi mei Israel, et non polluam nomen sanctum meum amplius: et scient Gentes quia ego Dominus sanctus Israel.
8 [I], Yahweh the Lord, declare that it will soon be the day that those things will happen. It will be the day that I have spoken [to you] about.
Ecce venit, et factum est, ait Dominus Deus: hæc est dies, de qua locutus sum.
9 At that time, those Israelis who live in the towns will go out and gather the weapons [from your dead soldiers], and use them to make fires [to cook their food]. They will burn the small and large shields, the bows and arrows, the war clubs, and spears. There will be enough weapons to use as firewood for seven years.
Et egredientur habitatores de civitatibus Israel, et succendent et comburent arma, clypeum, et hastas, arcum, et sagittas, et baculos manuum, et contos: et succendent ea igni septem annis.
10 They will not need to gather firewood in the fields or cut wood from trees in the forests, because those weapons will be all the firewood [that they will need]. And they will take valuable things from those who took valuable things from them, and steal things from people who stole things from them. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare [will happen].
Et non portabunt ligna de regionibus, neque succident de saltibus: quoniam arma succendent igni, et deprædabuntur eos, quibus prædæ fuerant, et diripient vastatores suos, ait Dominus Deus.
11 At that time I will create a graveyard for you, Gog, [and your soldiers], in the valley east of the [Dead] Sea. That graveyard will block the road that travelers [usually walk on], because you, Gog and all [the soldiers] of your huge army will be buried there. [So] it will be named ‘the Valley of Gog’s Huge Army’.
Et erit in die illa: dabo Gog locum nominatum sepulchrum in Israel: vallem viatorum ad Orientem maris, quæ obstupescere faciet prætereuntes: et sepelient ibi Gog, et omnem multitudinem eius, et vocabitur vallis multitudinis Gog.
12 For seven months the people of Israel will be burying those corpses. [It will be necessary to bury all of them], in order that the land will not be (defiled/considered unacceptable to me) [because of any unburied corpses].
Et sepelient eos domus Israel, ut mundent terram septem mensibus.
13 All the people of Israel will [do the work of] burying them. The day when I [win that victory] they will honor me.
Sepeliet autem eum omnis populus terræ, et erit eis nominata dies, in qua glorificatus sum, ait Dominus Deus.
14 After those seven months are ended, the Israeli people will appoint men to go throughout the land to bury corpses, in order that the land will not remain defiled.
Et viros iugiter constituent lustrantes terram, qui sepeliant, et requirant eos, qui remanserant super faciem terræ, ut emundent eam: post menses autem septem quærere incipient.
15 When they go through the land, when one of them sees a human bone, he will set up a marker beside it. [When] the gravediggers [see the markers, they will pick up the bones] and bury them in the Valley of Gog’s Huge Army.
Et circuibunt peragrantes terram: cumque viderint os hominis, statuent iuxta illud titulum, donec sepeliant illud pollinctores in valle multitudinis Gog.
16 There will be a city there named Hamonah, [which means ‘huge army’]. And by doing this [work of burying the corpses], they will (cleanse the land/cause the land to be acceptable to me again).’”
Nomen autem civitatis Amona, et mundabunt terram.
17 [Yahweh said to me], “You human, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Summon every kind of bird and wild animal. Say to them, ‘Gather together from everywhere and come to the feast that Yahweh is preparing for you. [It will be] a great feast on the mountains in Israel. [There] you will eat [men’s] flesh and drink their blood.
Tu ergo fili hominis, hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Dic omni volucri, et universis avibus, cunctisque bestiis agri: Convenite, properate, concurrite undique ad victimam meam, quam ego immolo vobis, victimam grandem super montes Israel: ut comedatis carnem, et bibatis sanguinem.
18 You will eat the flesh of strong soldiers and drink the blood of kings [as if they were] fat animals—rams and lambs, goats and bulls—from the Bashan [region].
Carnes fortium comedetis, et sanguinem principum terræ bibetis: arietum, et agnorum, et hircorum, taurorumque et altilium, et pinguium omnium.
19 At that feast that Yahweh is preparing for you, you will eat fat until your [stomachs] are full, and you will drink blood until [it is as though] you are drunk.
Et comedetis adipem in saturitatem, et bibetis sanguinem in ebrietatem, de victima, quam ego immolabo vobis:
20 [It will be as though] you are eating at a table that I [have set up for you. You will eat all you want of the flesh] of horses and their riders, strong soldiers [DOU] of every kind.’ [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
et saturabimini super mensam meam de equo, et equite forti, et de universis viris bellatoribus, ait Dominus Deus.
21 I will show [people of] many nations that I am glorious, and all those nations will see how I punish them [DOU].
Et ponam gloriam meam in Gentibus: et videbunt omnes gentes iudicium meum, quod fecerim, et manum meam, quam posuerim super eos.
22 After that time, the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh their God, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Et scient domus Israel quia ego Dominus Deus eorum a die illa, et deinceps.
23 And the [people of other] nations will know that the Israeli people had been forced to go to other countries because they sinned by not being faithful to me. I (turned away from/abandoned) them, and allowed their enemies to capture them [IDM], and many [HYP] of them were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
Et scient Gentes quoniam in iniquitate sua capta sit domus Israel, eo quod dereliquerint me, et absconderim faciem meam ab eis: et tradiderim eos in manus hostium, et ceciderint in gladio universi.
24 I punished them like they deserved to be punished because of their disgusting behavior and sins, and I turned away from them [MTY].
Iuxta immunditiam eorum, et scelus feci eis, et abscondi faciem meam ab illis.
25 Therefore, this is [now] what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will now bring back from exile/Babylonia [the descendants of] Jacob; I will pity all the Israeli people, and I will [also] jealously protect my reputation.
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Nunc reducam captivitatem Iacob, et miserebor omnis domus Israel: et assumam zelum pro nomine sancto meo.
26 When the Israeli people [are back in their own country, they will] live safely in their land, with no one to cause them to be afraid, but they will be ashamed when they think about the disgraceful and unfaithful things that they did [previously].
Et portabunt confusionem suam, et omnem prævaricationem, qua prævaricati sunt in me, cum habitaverint in terra sua confidenter neminem formidantes:
27 When I have brought them back from their enemies’ countries and gathered them together [in Israel], the people of many nations will know that I am holy.
et reduxero eos de populis, et congregavero de terris inimicorum suorum, et sanctificatus fuero in eis, in oculis gentium plurimarum.
28 And the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh their Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do]. They will know that because [even though] I forced them to go to [other] countries, I will gather them together in their own country. I will not leave any of them in those countries.
Et scient quia ego Dominus Deus eorum, eo quod transtulerim eos in nationes; et congregaverim eos super terram suam, et non dereliquerim quemquam ex eis ibi.
29 I will no longer turn away from them; I will pour out my Spirit on the Israeli people. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
Et non abscondam ultra faciem meam ab eis, eo quod effuderim spiritum meum super omnem domum Israel, ait Dominus Deus.
