Hezekiel 38
1 Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
And the worde of the Lord came vnto mee, saying,
2 “Ame vi, trɔ wò mo ɖe Gog ŋu, ɖe Magognyigba, ame si nye amegã le Mesek kple Tubal ŋu, nàgblɔ nya ɖi ɖe eŋu,
Sonne of man, set thy face against Gog, and against the lande of Magog, the chiefe prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophecie against him,
3 eye nàgblɔ be, ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Metso ɖe ŋuwò, O! Gog, wò si nye amegã le Mesek kple Tubal.
And say, Thus sayth the Lord God, Behold, I come against thee, O Gog the chiefe prince of Meshech and Tubal.
4 Matrɔ wò to eme, maƒo ga ɖe wò glãƒuwo me, eye mahe wò ado goe kple wò aʋakɔ blibo la, wò sɔwo, wò sɔdolawo, ame siwo bla akpa kple ameha gã, ame siwo kpla akpoxɔnu gãwo kple ɖagbiwo, wo katã woanɔ woƒe yiwo nyem le yame.
And I wil destroy thee, and put hookes in thy chawes, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine host both horses, and horsemen, all clothed with al sorts of armour, eue a great multitude with bucklers, and shieldes, all handling swords.
5 Persia, Kus kple Put akpe ɖe wo ŋu, wo katã woakpla akpoxɔnuwo, eye woaɖɔ gakukuwo,
They of Paras, of Cush, and Phut with the, euen all they that beare shielde and helmet.
6 Gomer hã kple eƒe aʋawɔlawo katã kple Bet Togarma tso keke anyiehe ke kple eƒe aʋawɔlawo katã, dukɔ geɖewo akpe ɖe ŋuwò.”
Gomer and all his bands, and the house of Togarmah of the North quarters, and al his bands, and much people with thee.
7 “Nɔ klalo, nàdzra ɖo, wò kple ameha gã siwo ƒo ƒu ɖe ŋuwò, eye nànɔ wo nu.
Prepare thy selfe, and make thee ready, both thou, and al thy multitude, that are assembled vnto thee, and be thou their sauegard.
8 Le ŋkeke geɖewo megbe la, woabia tso asiwò be, nàbla akpa hena aʋawɔwɔ. Le ƒe siwo gbɔna me la, àho aʋa ɖe anyigba aɖe si vo tso aʋawɔwɔ me la ŋu, woƒo eƒe amewo nu ƒu tso dukɔ geɖewo me ɖe Israel ƒe to siwo nye gbegbe ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe la dzi. Woɖe wo tso dukɔwo me, eye azɔ la, wo katã wole dedie.
After many dayes thou shalt bee visited: for in the latter yeres thou shalt come into the land, that hath bene destroyed with the sworde, and is gathered out of many people vpon the mountaines of Israel, which haue long lien waste: yet they haue bene brought out of the people, and they shall dwell all safe.
9 Wò kple wò aʋawɔlawo katã kple dukɔ geɖe siwo le dziwò la, miaɖe zɔ abe ahomya ene; mianɔ abe lilikpo ene atsyɔ anyigba la dzi.”
Thou shalt ascende and come vp like a tempest, and shalt be like a cloude to couer the land, both thou, and all thy bandes, and many people with thee.
10 Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, susuwo aɖo ta me na wò, eye nàwɔ ɖoɖo vɔ̃ aɖe.”
Thus saith the Lord God, Euen at ye same time shall many things come into thy minde, and thou shalt thinke euil thoughts.
11 Àgblɔ be, “Maho aʋa ɖe du sue siwo womeglã o la ŋuti. Madze ame siwo nye ŋutifafamewo, eye womele mɔkpɔkpɔ me o la dzi; wo katã mele glikpɔwo me o, eye agbowo kple gametiwo mele wo nu o.
And thou shalt say, I wil go vp to the land that hath no walled towres: I will goe to them that are at rest, and dwell in safetie, which dwell all without walles, and haue neither barres nor gates,
12 Maha wo, eye makɔ nye asi dzi ɖe du siwo gbã, eye wogbugbɔ wo tu kple ame siwo nu woƒo ƒui tso dukɔwo me, ame siwo si lãwo kple nunɔamesiwo le, eye wole anyigba la titina la ŋu.”
Thinking to spoyle the pray, and to take a bootie, to turne thine hande vpon the desolate places that are nowe inhabited, and vpon the people, that are gathered out of the nations which haue gotten cattell and goods, and dwell in the middes of the land.
13 Seba kple Dedan kple Tarsis ƒe asitsalawo kple eƒe kɔƒewo me nɔlawo katã woagblɔ na wò be, “Ɖe nèva be yeaha mía? Ɖe nèkplɔ wò amewo vɛ be woaha mí, woatsɔ klosalo kple sika kple kesinɔnuwo kple afunyinuwo adzoea?”
Sheba and Dedan, and the marchantes of Tarshish with all the lions thereof shall say vnto thee, Art thou come to spoyle the praye? hast thou gathered thy multitude to take a booty? to cary away siluer and golde, to take away cattell and goods, and to spoyle a great pray?
14 Eya ta Ame vi, gblɔ nya ɖi, eye nàgblɔ na Gog be, ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Gbe ma gbe ne nye amewo, Israelviwo ɖe dzi ɖi le dedinɔnɔ me la, màde dzesii oa?
Therefore, sonne of man, prophecie, and saye vnto Gog, Thus sayeth the Lord God, In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safe, shalt thou not knowe it?
15 Àva tso wò nɔƒe le anyiehe ƒe didiƒe, wò kple dukɔ geɖe siwo akpe ɖe ŋuwò, wo katã woanɔ sɔwo dzi, ameha gã aɖe kple aʋakɔ dranyi aɖe.
And come from thy place out of the North partes, thou and much people with thee? all shall ride vpon horses, euen a great multitude and a mightie armie.
16 Àlu ɖe nye dukɔ, Israel, dzi abe lilikpo si atsyɔ anyigba la dzi ene. Le ŋkeke siwo gbɔna me la, O! Gog, mana nàtso ɖe nye anyigba ŋu, ale be dukɔwo adze sim ne mefia ɖokuinye kɔkɔe to dziwò le woƒe ŋkume.
And thou shalt come vp against my people of Israel, as a cloude to couer the land: thou shalt be in the latter dayes, and I will bring thee vpon my lande, that the heathen may knowe mee, when I shalbe sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 “Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Menye wòe nye ame si ŋu meƒo nu tsoe le ŋkeke siwo va yi me to nye dɔlawo, Israel ƒe nyagblɔɖilawo dzi oa? Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, wogblɔ nya ɖi ƒe geɖewo be mana nàtso ɖe wo ŋu.
Thus saith the Lord God, Art not thou he, of whom I haue spoken in olde time, by ye hand of my seruants the Prophets of Israel which prophecied in those dayes and yeeres, that I woulde bring thee vpon them?
18 Nu siae adzɔ gbe ma gbe. Ne Gog ho aʋa ɖe Israelnyigba ŋu la, mado dziku helĩhelĩ; Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
At the same time also whe Gog shall come against the land of Israel, sayth the Lord God, my wrath shall arise in mine anger.
19 Le nye ŋuʋaʋã kple dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ me la, megblɔ be, le ɣe ma ɣi me la, anyigbaʋuʋu sesẽ aɖe anɔ Israelnyigba dzi.
For in mine indignation and in the fire of my wrath haue I spoken it: surely at that time there shalbe a great shaking in the land of Israel,
20 Ƒumelãwo, dziƒoxeviwo, gbemelãwo, nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe si tana le anyigba, eye ame siwo katã le anyigba dzi la adzo nyanyanya le nye ŋkume. Towo atrɔ abu, agakpewo atu wɔ, eye gli ɖe sia ɖe amu.
So that the fishes of the sea, and the foules of the heauen, and the beasts of the field and al that moue and creepe vpon the earth, and al ye men that are vpon the earth, shall tremble at my presence, and the mountaines shalbe ouerthrowen, and the staires shall fall, and euery wall shall fall to the ground.
21 Mana yi natso ɖe Gog ŋu le nye toawo katã dzi. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe. Ame sia ame atsɔ yi ɖe nɔvia ŋu.
For I will call for a sworde against him throughout all my mountaines, saith the Lord God: euery mans sword shalbe against his brother.
22 Madrɔ̃ ʋɔnui kple dɔvɔ̃ kple ʋukɔkɔɖi. Makɔ tsidzadza, tsikpe kple aŋɔ xɔdzo ɖe eya kple eƒe aʋakɔ kple dukɔ geɖe siwo le edzi la dzi.
And I will pleade against him with pestilence, and with blood, and I will cause to raine vpon him and vpon his bands, and vpon the great people, that are with him, a sore raine, and hailestones, fire, and brimstone.
23 Ale maɖe nye gãnyenye kple kɔkɔenyenye afia, eye mana woanyam le dukɔ geɖewo me. Ekema woanya be, nyee nye Yehowa.”
Thus will I be magnified, and sanctified, and knowen in the eyes of many nations, and they shall knowe, that I am the Lord.
