Hezekiel 38
1 Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
The word of Jehovah came to me, 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,
"Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy 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 says Jehovah: "Look, I am against you, Gog, chief 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 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 armed with swords;
5 Persia, Kus kple Put akpe ɖe wo ŋu, wo katã woakpla akpoxɔnuwo, eye woaɖɔ gakukuwo,
Persia, Ethiopia, and Put with them, all of them with shield 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 troops; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his hordes; even many peoples with you.
7 “Nɔ klalo, nàdzra ɖo, wò kple ameha gã siwo ƒo ƒu ɖe ŋuwò, eye nànɔ wo nu.
"'"Be ready and stay ready, you and all your companies who are assembled to you, and be a guard to them.
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 days you shall be summoned: in the latter years you shall come to a land that is restored from war, a gathering from many peoples on the mountains of Israel, that had long been in ruins. Its people were brought out from the peoples, and all of them now live securely.
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.”
You shall advance, coming like a storm. You will be like a cloud covering the land, you, all your troops, and the many other peoples with you."
10 Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, susuwo aɖo ta me na wò, eye nàwɔ ɖoɖo vɔ̃ aɖe.”
"'"Thus says Jehovah: "It shall happen on that day, that thoughts shall come into your mind, and you shall devise an an evil scheme:
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 you shall say, 'I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to those who who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars 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.”
to seize spoil and carry off plunder; to turn my hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, acquired livestock and goods, who live at the center of the earth.'
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 merchants of Tarshish, with all its young warriors will say to you, 'Have you assembled your armies to carry off plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to to seize great spoil?'"'
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, son of man, prophesy, and tell Gog, 'Thus says Jehovah: "On that day when my people Israel are dwelling securely, you will take notice?
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.
You shall 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;
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 you shall come up against my people Israel, as a cloud covering the land. But when this happens in future days, I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me, Gog, when through you I show my holiness in their sight."
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 says Jehovah: "Are you the one of whom I spoke in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel, who in those days prophesied for years that I would bring you against them?"
18 Nu siae adzɔ gbe ma gbe. Ne Gog ho aʋa ɖe Israelnyigba ŋu la, mado dziku helĩhelĩ; Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
But it shall happen on that day, when Gog shall come against the land of Israel,' says Jehovah, 'that my hot anger will be aroused.
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 my zeal, in the fire of my fury, I declare that on that day there shall be 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 fish of the sea, and the birds of the sky, and the animals of the field, and all crawling creatures who crawl on the land, and all people who are on the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence. And the mountains shall be thrown down, and the cliffs shall fall, and every 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.
I will call for a sword against him on all my mountains,' says Jehovah: 'every man's sword shall be 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.
With pestilence and with bloodshed I will enter into judgment with him; and I will rain on him, and on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, torrential rains and hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
23 Ale maɖe nye gãnyenye kple kɔkɔenyenye afia, eye mana woanyam le dukɔ geɖewo me. Ekema woanya be, nyee nye Yehowa.”
I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am Jehovah.'
