< Ezekiel 38 >
1 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
2 “Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
Fili hominis, pone faciem tuam contra Gog, terram Magog, principem capitis Mosoch et Thubal, et vaticinare de eo.
3 and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal.
Et dices ad eum: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te, Gog, principem capitis Mosoch et Thubal.
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 armor, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords;
Et circumagam te, et ponam frenum in maxillis tuis: et educam te, et omnem exercitum tuum, equos et equites vestitos loricis universos, multitudinem magnam, hastam et clypeum arripientium et gladium.
5 Persia, Cush, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
Persæ, Æthiopes, et Libyes cum eis, omnes scutati et galeati.
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.
Gomer et universa agmina ejus, domus Thogorma, latera aquilonis, et totum robur ejus, populique multi tecum.
7 “‘“Be prepared, yes, prepare yourself, you, and all your companies who are assembled to you, and be a guard to them.
Præpara et instrue te, et omnem multitudinem tuam quæ coacervata est ad te: et esto eis in præceptum.
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.
Post dies multos visitaberis: in novissimo annorum venies ad terram quæ reversa est a gladio, et congregata est de populis multis ad montes Israël, qui fuerunt deserti jugiter: hæc de populis educta est, et habitabunt in ea confidenter universi.
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.”
Ascendens autem quasi tempestas venies, et quasi nubes, ut operias terram: tu et omnia agmina tua, et populi multi tecum.
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.
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: In die illa, ascendent sermones super cor tuum, et cogitabis cogitationem pessimam:
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,
et dices: Ascendam ad terram absque muro: veniam ad quiescentes habitantesque secure: hi omnes habitant sine muro; vectes et portæ non sunt eis:
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.’
ut diripias spolia, et invadas prædam; ut inferas manum tuam super eos qui deserti fuerant, et postea restituti, et super populum qui est congregatus ex gentibus, qui possidere cœpit et esse habitator umbilici terræ.
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?’”’
Saba, et Dedan, et negotiatores Tharsis, et omnes leones ejus, dicent tibi: Numquid ad sumenda spolia tu venis? ecce ad diripiendam prædam congregasti multitudinem tuam, ut tollas argentum et aurum, et auferas supellectilem atque substantiam, et diripias manubias infinitas.
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?
Propterea vaticinare, fili hominis, et dices ad Gog: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Numquid non in die illo, cum habitaverit populus meus Israël confidenter, scies?
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.
Et venies de loco tuo a lateribus aquilonis, tu et populi multi tecum, ascensores equorum universi: cœtus magnus, et exercitus vehemens.
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.”
Et ascendes super populum meum Israël quasi nubes, ut operias terram. In novissimis diebus eris, et adducam te super terram meam: ut sciant gentes me cum sanctificatus fuero in te in oculis eorum, o Gog!
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?
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Tu ergo ille es, de quo locutus sum in diebus antiquis in manu servorum meorum prophetarum Israël, qui prophetaverunt in diebus illorum temporum, ut adducerem te super eos.
18 It will happen in that day, when Gog comes against Eretz-Israel,” says the Lord GOD, “that my wrath will come up into my nostrils.
Et erit in die illa, in die adventus Gog super terram Israël, ait Dominus Deus, ascendet indignatio mea in furore meo.
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 Eretz-Israel,
Et in zelo meo, in igne iræ meæ locutus sum, quia in die illa erit commotio magna super terram Israël:
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.
et commovebuntur a facie mea pisces maris, et volucres cæli, et bestiæ agri, et omne reptile quod movetur super humum, cunctique homines qui sunt super faciem terræ: et subvertentur montes, et cadent sepes, et omnis murus corruet in terram.
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.
Et convocabo adversus eum in cunctis montibus meis gladium, ait Dominus Deus: gladius uniuscujusque in fratrem suum dirigetur.
22 I will enter into judgment 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 sulfur.
Et judicabo eum peste, et sanguine, et imbre vehementi, et lapidibus immensis: ignem et sulphur pluam super eum, et super exercitum ejus, et super populos multos qui sunt cum eo.
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.”’
Et magnificabor, et sanctificabor, et notus ero in oculis multarum gentium: et scient quia ego Dominus.
