1 “Ame vi, gblɔ nya ɖi ɖe Gog ŋu, eye nàgblɔ be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Metso ɖe ŋuwò, O! Gog, wò ame si nye Mesek kple Tubal ƒe amegã.
"You, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, 'Thus says the LORD: "Look, I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
2 Matrɔ wò to eme ahe wò. Makplɔ wò tso keke anyiehe ke, eye mana nàtso ɖe Israel ƒe towo ŋu.
and I will turn you around, drag you along, and bring you up from the remotest parts of the north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel.
3 Ekema maƒo wò da le wò miasi me, eye mana wò datiwo nage tso wò nuɖusime.
Then I will strike your bow out of your left hand, and will make your arrows fall from your right hand.
4 Àdze anyi ɖe Israel ƒe towo dzi, wò kple wò aʋawɔlawo katã kple dukɔ siwo le dziwò. Mana nàzu nuɖuɖu na xevi ʋulãɖulawo kple lã wɔadãwo katã.
You will fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the people who are with you. I will give you to birds of prey of every king and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Àdze anyi ɖe gbedzi, elabena meƒo nu; Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
You will fall in the open field; for I have spoken," says the LORD.
6 Mana dzo nadze Magog kple ame siwo le dedinɔnɔ me le ƒutanyigbawo dzi la dzi, eye woanya be, nyee nye Yehowa.
And I will send a fire on Magog and on those who dwell securely in the coastlands; then they will know that I am the LORD.
7 “‘Mana woanya nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la le nye amewo, Israelviwo dome. Nyemagana woagado gu nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la o, eye dukɔwo anya be, nye, Yehowae nye Kɔkɔetɔ la le Israel.
"'And I will make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel, and I will not allow my holy name to be profaned anymore. And the nations shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Egbɔna! Ava eme godoo, Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe. Egbee nye ŋkeke si ŋu meƒo nu tsoe.
Look, it is coming and it will happen, says the LORD. This is the day I have spoken about.
9 “‘Ekema ame siwo le Israel ƒe duwo me la, ado go, eye woawɔ woƒe aʋawɔnuwo ŋu dɔ abe dzodonuwo ene, woatɔ dzo wo, akpoxɔnu ɖagbitɔwo kple gãtɔwo siaa, woƒe dawo kple datiwo siaa, woƒe kpowo kple akplɔwo siaa. Woawɔ wo ŋu dɔ hena dzododo ƒe adre sɔŋ.
"'Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel shall go out and make fires of the weapons and burn them, both the shields and bucklers, bows and the arrows, war clubs and spears, and they shall make fires of them for seven years,
10 Mahiã wo be woafɔ nake le gbedzi loo alo alãe le avewo me o, elabena woawɔ aʋawɔnuwo ŋu dɔ abe dzodonuwo ene. Emegbe la, woada adzo ame siwo da adzo wo, eye woaha ame siwo ha wo. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
so that they shall no need to take wood out of the field or gather firewood from the forests, because they shall make fires of the weapons; and they will take the spoil from those who despoiled them, and plunder those who plundered them, says the LORD.
11 “‘Gbe ma gbe la, mana ameɖiƒe Gog le Israel le ame siwo zɔa mɔ yia ɣetoɖoƒe, ɖoa ta Atsiaƒu la gbɔ la ƒe balime. Axe mɔ na mɔzɔlawo, elabena woaɖi Gog kple eƒe ameha la katã ɖe afi ma. Ale woayɔe be Hamɔn Gog ƒe balime.
"'And it shall happen on that day that I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the Valley of the Travelers east of the sea; and it shall block the way of the travelers. So they shall bury Gog and all his multitude; and they shall call it The Valley of Hamon Gog.
12 “‘Israel ƒe aƒe la anɔ wo ɖim ale be wòakɔ anyigba la ŋuti ɣleti adre.
For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse the land.
13 Anyigba la dzi tɔwo katã aɖi wo, eye gbe si gbe woade bubu ŋutinye la, anye ŋkeke si dzi woaɖo ŋkui la na wo.’ Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
Yes, all the people of the land shall bury them, and it shall be a memorial for them on the day that I show my glory, says the LORD.
14 Woatsɔ amewo ɖaa be woakɔ anyigba la ŋuti. Ame aɖewo azɔ ato anyigba la dzi, hekpe ɖe woawo ŋu la, ame bubuwo aɖi ame kuku siwo aganɔ anyigba kokoko. “‘Le ɣleti adrea ƒe nuwuwu la, woagadze woƒe nudidi gɔme.
And they shall designate men to travel through the land regularly, burying those who remain on the face of the land, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they shall make a search.
15 Ne wole anyigba la dzi tsam, eye wo dometɔ ɖeka kpɔ ameƒu aɖe la, ade dzesi teƒe la va se ɖe esime yɔdokulawo aɖii ɖe Hamɔn Gog ƒe Balime.
As they go through the land and anyone sees a human bone, he will put a marker next to it until the gravediggers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon Gog.
16 Kpe ɖe nu sia ŋu la, du si woyɔna be Hamona hã anɔ afi ma. Ale woakɔ anyigba la ŋuti.’
Moreover, Hamonah will be the name of a city. Thus they shall cleanse the land.'
17 “Ame vi, ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Yɔ xevi ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi kple lã wɔadãwo katã. Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Miƒo ƒu, eye mi katã miva tso goawo katã me hena vɔsa si mele dzadzram ɖo na mi, vɔsa gã la le Israel ƒe towo dzi. Afi ma miaɖu lã, eye miano ʋu.
"And as for you, son of man, thus says the LORD: Speak to every kind of bird and to all the wild animals, 'Assemble and come, gather from all around to my sacrifice which I am going to sacrifice for you, a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh and drink blood.
18 Miaɖu amegãwo ƒe lã, eye miano anyigbadzifiawo ƒe ʋu abe agbowo kple alẽviwo, gbɔ̃wo kple nyitsuwo wonye ene; lã siawo katã nye lã damiwo tso Basan.
You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bulls, all of them fattened animals of Bashan.
19 Le nye vɔsa si mele dzadzram ɖo na mi ƒe ŋkekea dzi la, miaɖu lãmi aɖi ƒo, eye miano ʋu va se ɖe esime miamu.
And you shall eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk, at my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Le nye kplɔ̃ la ŋu la, miaɖu sɔwo kple sɔdolawo, kalẽtɔwo kple aʋawɔla ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe ƒe lã wòati mi’ Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
And you shall be filled at my table with horses and charioteers, with warriors and with all the soldiers,' says the LORD.
21 “Maɖe nye ŋutikɔkɔe afia le dukɔwo dome, eye dukɔwo katã akpɔ to si mehe na wo kple asi si meda ɖe wo dzi.
"'And I will set my glory among the nations, and all the nations shall see my judgment when I have executed it and my hand when I lay it on them.
22 Tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, Israel ƒe aƒe la anya be nyee nye Yehowa, woƒe Mawu.
So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God, from that day on.
23 Dukɔawo hã anya be Israelviwo yi aboyome le woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta, elabena womewɔ nuteƒe nam o. Eya ta meɣla nye ŋkume ɖe wo, metsɔ wo de asi na woƒe futɔwo, eye wo katã wotsi yi nu.
And the nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity, because they were unfaithful to me, so I hid my face from them, and I gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and all of them fell by the sword.
24 Mewɔ nu ɖe wo ŋu le woƒe makɔmakɔnyenye kple woƒe dzidadawo nu, eye meɣla nye mo ɖe wo.
I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions, and I hid my face from them.'
25 “Eya ta ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, ‘Azɔ la, makplɔ Yakob agbɔe tso aboyome, makpɔ nublanui na Israelviwo katã, eye maʋã ŋu ɖe nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la ta.
"Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Now will I restore the fortunes of Jacob and have mercy on the whole house of Israel, and I will be jealous for my holy name.
26 Woaŋlɔ woƒe ŋukpe kple aglã siwo katã wodze ɖe ŋunye la be, esime wonɔ dedie le woƒe anyigba si dzi ame aɖeke medo ŋɔdzi na wo le o.
And they shall feel remorse for their disgrace and all the unfaithfulness they committed against me, when they dwell securely in their land with none to make them afraid.
27 Ne mekplɔ wo gbɔe tso woƒe futɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi la, maɖe ɖokuinye afia kɔkɔe le dukɔ geɖewo ŋkume.
When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, then I will be sanctified through them in the sight of the many nations.
28 Ekema woanya be nyee nye Yehowa, woƒe Mawu, elabena togbɔ be meɖo wo ɖe aboyome ɖe dukɔwo dome hã la, maƒo wo nu ƒu, woava woawo ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi, eye nyemagblẽ ɖeke ɖi o.
Then they will know that I am the LORD their God, because I sent them into exile among the nations, and then gathered them into their own land; and I will leave none of them there any more.
29 Nyemagaɣla nye mo ɖe wo o, elabena makɔ nye Gbɔgbɔ ɖe Israel ƒe aƒe la dzi.’ Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.”
And I will no longer hide my face from them, when I pour out my Spirit on the house of Israel,' says the LORD."
