< Ezekyèl 38 >
1 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò. li di m' konsa:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 -Nonm o! Vire tèt ou gade sa Gòg ap fè a. Se li ki pi gwo chèf moun Mechèk ak moun Toubal yo nan peyi Magòg. Bay mesaj mwen ba ou sou li a.
“Son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the prince of the head of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy about him.
3 W'a di Gòg, pi gwo chèf moun Mechèk ak moun Toubal yo, men mesaj mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di li: Koulye a ou menm Gòg, m'ap leve dèyè ou.
And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of the head of Meshech and Tubal.
4 M'ap fè ou kase tèt tounen, m'ap mete bayonn nan machwè ou. M'ap trennen ou, ou menm ansanm ak tout lame sòlda ou yo, chwal ou yo ak kavalye ou yo, ak bèl inifòm yo sou yo. Yon gwo lame w'ap genyen lè sa a, chak sòlda ak nepe yo nan yon men ak yon gwo osinon yon ti plak fè pwotèj nan lòt men an.
And I will turn you around, and I will place a bit in your jaws. And I will lead you away, with all your army, the horses and the horsemen all clothed in armor, a great multitude, equipped with spears and light shields and swords,
5 Moun peyi Pès, moun peyi Letiopi ak moun peyi Pout ap mache avè ou. Yo tout gen gwo plak fè pwotèj sou ponyèt yo ak kas fè sou tèt yo.
the Persians, the Ethiopians, and the Libyans with them, all with heavy shields and helmets,
6 Tout sòlda peyi Gome yo, tout moun lavil Bèt-Togama ki nan nò nèt la, yo kanpe avè ou tou, ansanm ak kantite moun anpil lòt nasyon.
Gomer, and all his companies, the house of Togarmah, the northern parts, and all his strength, and the many peoples with you.
7 Di l' konsa: Li mèt pare, li mèt pare tout sòlda l' yo ki sanble bò kote l' pou yo tann lòd mwen yo.
Prepare and equip yourself, with all your multitude which has been assembled to you. And you shall be like a commandment to them.
8 Apre kèk tan m'ap ba li lòd pou l' al anvayi yon peyi kote moun ki te rive chape nan lagè yo te tounen soti nan peyi kote yo te depòte yo. Wi, li pral anvayi mòn peyi Izrayèl yo ki te rete pandan lontan tankou yon dezè. Men, moun peyi Izrayèl yo soti nan mitan moun lòt nasyon yo. Koulye a y'ap viv lakay yo ak kè poze, san ankenn danje.
After many days, you will be visited. At the end of the years, you will arrive at the land which was turned back by the sword, and which has been gathered from many peoples to the mountains of Israel that have been continually abandoned. These ones have been led away from the peoples, and all of them will be living confidently within it.
9 L'a moute vin atake yo ansanm ak tout lame li ak tout kantite moun lòt nasyon ki avè l' yo. L'ap tankou yon van tanpèt. L'ap kouvri tout peyi a tankou yon gwo nwaj.
But you will ascend and arrive like a tempest and like a cloud, so that you may cover the land, you and all your companies, and the many peoples with you.
10 Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di Gòg: Lè jou sa a va rive, lespri ou pral pran travay, ou pral fè move lide nan tèt ou.
Thus says the Lord God: In that day, words will climb into your heart, and you will invent a most wicked plan.
11 Ou pral deside pou ou anvayi yon peyi san defans, kote moun ap viv ak kè poze, san bri san kont, kote moun rete nan lavil san miray ranpa, san pòtay ni ba fè.
And you will say: ‘I will ascend to the land without a wall. I will go to those who are resting and dwelling securely. All these live without a wall; they have no bars or gates.’
12 Ou pral piye, ou pral devalize, ou pral pran tou sa moun yo genyen nan lavil ki te fin kraze yon lè a. Moun sa yo tounen soti nan peyi kote yo te depòte yo. Koulye a, yo gen anpil bèt ak anpil byen, y'ap viv nan gran kalfou latè a.
Thus, you will plunder spoils, and you will take possession of prey, so that you may lay your hand upon those who had been abandoned, and afterwards were restored, and upon a people who were gathered away from the Gentiles, a people who have begun to possess, and to be the inhabitants of, the navel of the earth.
13 Moun peyi Cheba ak moun peyi Dedan ansanm ak kòmèsan ki soti nan peyi Tasis yo ak lòt peyi nan vwazinaj yo pral mande ou: Eske se pou ou pran tou sa moun yo genyen kifè ou vin atake yo la a? Eske se pou piye ou sanble tout lame sa a? Eske ou soti pou devalize tou sa yo genyen ki fèt an lò ak an ajan, pou ou pran bèt yo ak byen yo, lèfini pou ou bwote tou sa ou pran al lakay ou?
Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, and all its lions will say to you: ‘Could you have arrived in order to purchase from the spoils? Behold, you have gathered your multitude in order to plunder a prey, so that you may take silver and gold, and carry away equipment and substance, and plunder immeasurable wealth.’
14 Se poutèt sa, nonm o, bay mesaj mwen an! Ale di Gòg konsa men sa mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di li: Koulye a pèp Izrayèl la, pèp mwen an, ap viv ak kè poze san ankenn danje, se lè sa a wava bay kò ou mouvman.
Because of this, son of man, prophesy, and you shall say to Gog: Thus says the Lord God: How is it that you do not know of that day, when my people, Israel, will be living in confidence?
15 W'ap kite kote ou ye a, nan pwent nò a, w'ap vini ak yon gwo lame sòlda ou ranmase nan mitan anpil nasyon, yo tout moute sou chwal yo.
And you will advance from your place, from the parts of the north, you and the many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great assembly and an immense army.
16 Ou pral tonbe sou pèp Izrayèl mwen an tankou yon van tanpèt k'ap pase sou tout peyi a. Lè lè a va rive, m'ap voye ou anvayi peyi mwen an pou m' ka fè lòt nasyon yo konnen ki moun mwen ye, pou yo rekonèt se yon Bondye apa mwen ye lè y'a wè travay ou menm Gòg, ou pral fè pou mwen an.
And you will rise up over my people, Israel, like a cloud, so that you may cover the earth. In the latter days, you will be. And I will lead you over my own land, so that the Gentiles may know me, when I will have been sanctified in you, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 Se sou ou mwen t'ap pale nan tan lontan lè mwen te sèvi ak pwofèt pèp Izrayèl yo, sèvitè m' yo, pou m' te fè yo konnen mwen gen pou m' te voye yon moun vin atake yo lè jou a va vini. Se Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
Thus says the Lord God: Therefore, you are the one, about whom I spoke in the days of antiquity, by the hand of my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in the days of those times that I would lead you over them.
18 Seyè sèl Mèt la pale, li di konsa: -Jou Gòg pral anvayi peyi Izrayèl la, kòlè m' ap moute m'.
And this shall be in that day, in the day of the advent of Gog over the land of Israel, says the Lord God: my indignation will rise up in my fury.
19 M'ap fè gwo kòlè, m'ap move. Mwen sèmante jou sa a, pral gen yon sèl tranblemanntè nan peyi Izrayèl la.
And I have spoken, in my zeal and in the fire of my wrath, that there shall be a great commotion over the land of Israel, in that day.
20 Pwenson nan lanmè, zwezo nan syèl, bèt nan bwa, bèt k'ap trennen sou vant, tout moun ki rete sou latè pral tranble paske y'ap pè m'. Mòn yo pral anfale, falèz yo pral vide desann. Tout miray yo pral tonbe atè.
And before my face there shall be stirred up: the fish of the sea, and the flying things of the air, and the beasts of the field, and every crawling thing that moves across the soil, and all the men who are upon the face of the earth. And the mountains will be overturned, and the hedges will fall, and every wall will fall in ruin to the ground.
21 Mwen pral voye tout kalite malè sou Gòg pou fè li pè. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki pale. Sòlda li yo, yonn pral touye lòt ak nepe yo.
And I will call for the sword against him on all my mountains, says the Lord God. Each one’s sword will be directed toward his brother.
22 M'ap pini l', m'ap voye maladi sou li, m'ap mete san l' deyò. Mwen pral voye gwo lapli avèk lagrèl, dife ak souf sou li, sou lame li a ak sou tout nasyon ki kanpe avè l' yo.
And I will judge him by pestilence, and blood, and violent rainstorms, and immense hailstones. I will rain fire and brimstone upon him, and upon his army, and upon the many peoples who are with him.
23 Se konsa m'ap fè tout nasyon yo konnen jan mwen gen pouvwa, jan mwen se yon Bondye apa. Lè sa a, m'a fè tout nasyon yo konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
And I will be magnified and sanctified. And I will be known in the eyes of the many nations. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
