< Ezekiel 38 >
1 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
耶和华的话临到我说:
2 “Son of man, set your face towards Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
“人子啊,你要面向玛各地的歌革,就是罗施、米设、土巴的王发预言攻击他,
3 and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal.
说主耶和华如此说:罗施、米设、土巴的王歌革啊,我与你为敌。
4 I will turn you around, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armour, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords;
我必用钩子钩住你的腮颊,调转你,将你和你的军兵、马匹、马兵带出来,都披挂整齐,成了大队,有大小盾牌,各拿刀剑。
5 Persia, Cush, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
波斯人、古实人,和弗人,各拿盾牌,头上戴盔;
6 Gomer, and all his hordes; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his hordes—even many peoples with you.
歌篾人和他的军队,北方极处的陀迦玛族和他的军队,这许多国的民都同着你。
7 “‘“Be prepared, yes, prepare yourself, you, and all your companies who are assembled to you, and be a guard to them.
“那聚集到你这里的各队都当准备;你自己也要准备,作他们的大帅。
8 After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, on the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste; but it is brought out of the peoples and they will dwell securely, all of them.
过了多日,你必被差派。到末后之年,你必来到脱离刀剑从列国收回之地,到以色列常久荒凉的山上;但那从列国中招聚出来的必在其上安然居住。
9 You will ascend. You will come like a storm. You will be like a cloud to cover the land, you and all your hordes, and many peoples with you.”
你和你的军队,并同着你许多国的民,必如暴风上来,如密云遮盖地面。”
10 “‘The Lord GOD says: “It will happen in that day that things will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.
主耶和华如此说:“到那时,你心必起意念,图谋恶计,
11 You will say, ‘I will go up to the land of unwalled villages. I will go to those who are at rest, who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
说:‘我要上那无城墙的乡村,我要到那安静的民那里,他们都没有城墙,无门、无闩,安然居住。
12 to take the plunder and to take prey; to turn your hand against the waste places that are inhabited, and against the people who are gathered out of the nations, who have gotten livestock and goods, who dwell in the middle of the earth.’
我去要抢财为掳物,夺货为掠物,反手攻击那从前荒凉、现在有人居住之地,又攻击那住世界中间、从列国招聚、得了牲畜财货的民。’
13 Sheba, Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all its young lions, will ask you, ‘Have you come to take the plunder? Have you assembled your company to take the prey, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’”’
示巴人、底但人、他施的客商,和其间的少壮狮子都必问你说:‘你来要抢财为掳物吗?你聚集军队要夺货为掠物吗?要夺取金银,掳去牲畜、财货吗?要抢夺许多财宝为掳物吗?’
14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and tell Gog, ‘The Lord GOD says: “In that day when my people Israel dwells securely, will you not know it?
“人子啊,你要因此发预言,对歌革说,主耶和华如此说:到我民以色列安然居住之日,你岂不知道吗?
15 You will come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you, and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army.
你必从本地,从北方的极处率领许多国的民来,都骑着马,乃一大队极多的军兵。
16 You will come up against my people Israel as a cloud to cover the land. It will happen in the latter days that I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me when I am sanctified in you, Gog, before their eyes.”
歌革啊,你必上来攻击我的民以色列,如密云遮盖地面。末后的日子,我必带你来攻击我的地,到我在外邦人眼前,在你身上显为圣的时候,好叫他们认识我。
17 “‘The Lord GOD says: “Are you he of whom I spoke in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for years that I would bring you against them?
主耶和华如此说:我在古时借我的仆人以色列的先知所说的,就是你吗?当日他们多年预言我必带你来攻击以色列人。”
18 It will happen in that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord GOD, “that my wrath will come up into my nostrils.
主耶和华说:“歌革上来攻击以色列地的时候,我的怒气要从鼻孔里发出。
19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath I have spoken. Surely in that day there will be a great shaking in the land of Israel,
我发愤恨和烈怒如火说:那日在以色列地必有大震动,
20 so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, all creeping things who creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the surface of the earth will shake at my presence. Then the mountains will be thrown down, the steep places will fall, and every wall will fall to the ground.
甚至海中的鱼、天空的鸟、田野的兽,并地上的一切昆虫,和其上的众人,因见我的面就都震动;山岭必崩裂,陡岩必塌陷,墙垣都必坍倒。”
21 I will call for a sword against him to all my mountains,” says the Lord GOD. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother.
主耶和华说:“我必命我的诸山发刀剑来攻击歌革;人都要用刀剑杀害弟兄。
22 I will enter into judgement with him with pestilence and with blood. I will rain on him, on his hordes, and on the many peoples who are with him, torrential rains with great hailstones, fire, and sulphur.
我必用瘟疫和流血的事刑罚他。我也必将暴雨、大雹与火,并硫磺降与他和他的军队,并他所率领的众民。
23 I will magnify myself and sanctify myself, and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”’
我必显为大,显为圣,在多国人的眼前显现;他们就知道我是耶和华。”
