< Ezekyèl 38 >
1 Epi pawòl Bondye te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2 “Fis a lòm, mete figi ou vè Gog nan peyi Magog, prens a Rosch la, Méschec, ak Tubal e pwofetize kont li.
“Son of man, set your face toward Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; and prophesy against him.
3 Di l: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Gade byen, Mwen kont ou, O Gog, prens a Rosch la, Méschec ak Tubal.
Say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
4 Mwen va fè ou detounen. Mwen va mete yon kwòk nan machwè ou, e Mwen va rale ou deyò ak tout lame ou a; cheval ak chevalye yo, yo tout byen abiye, yon gran twoup moun, boukliye ak pwotèj, tout k ap manyen nepe;
So I will turn you around and set hooks in your jaw; I will send you out with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all of them dressed in full armor, a great company with large shields and small shields, all of them holding swords!
5 Perse Ethiopie e Put avèk yo, yo tout ak boukliye ak kas;
Persia, Cush, and Libya are with them, all of them with shields and helmets!
6 Gomer ak tout twoup li yo; Beth-Togarma soti kote ki pi lwen nan nò a avèk tout twoup li yo—anpil moun avèk ou.”
Gomer and all her troops, and Beth Togarmah, from the far parts of the north, and all its troops! Many peoples are with you!
7 “‘“Prepare ou e rete prepare, ou menm ak tout twoup ki rasanble antoure ou yo. Veye byen sou yo.
Get ready! Yes, prepare yourself and your troops assembled with you, and be their commander.
8 Apre anpil jou, ou va vizite. Nan dènye ane yo, ou va vin antre nan teren ki vin restore soti anba nepe a. Moun ki rasanble va soti anpil nasyon pou rive sou mòn Israël yo. Yon kote ki te devni san vale, va soti nan men nasyon yo, e la, y ap viv ansekirite, yo tout.
You will be called after many days, and after some years you will go to a land that has recovered from the sword and that has been gathered from many peoples, gathered back to the mountains of Israel that had been a continuous ruin. But the land's people will be brought out of the peoples, and they will live in safety, all of them!
9 Ou va monte. Ou va vini tankou yon tanpèt. Ou va tankou yon nwaj k ap kouvri peyi a, ou menm ak tout twoup ou yo, ansanm ak anpil lòt nasyon yo.”
So you will go up as a storm goes; you will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your troops, all the many soldiers with you.
10 “‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Li va rive nan jou sa a, ke kèk panse va vin antre nan lespri ou e ou va anvizaje yon move plan.
The Lord Yahweh says this: It will happen on that day that plans will form in your heart, and you will devise wicked schemes.'
11 Konsa ou va di: ‘Mwen va monte kont peyi a ak vil san miray yo. Mwen va ale kont sila ki an repo yo, ki viv ansekirite yo, yo tout k ap viv san miray yo, san fè fòje ni pòtay yo,
Then you will say, 'I will go up to the open land; I will go to the quiet people living in safety, all of them living where there are no walls or bars, and where there are no city gates.
12 pou kaptire e sezi piyaj la, pou vire men ou kont kote dezè ki, koulye a, gen moun yo, e kont pèp ki vin rasanble soti nan nasyon yo, ki te vin genyen byen ak bèt, ki viv nan mitan mond lan.’
I will capture booty and steal plunder, in order to bring my hand against the ruins that are newly inhabited, and against the people gathered from the nations, people who are gaining livestock and property, and who are living at the center of the earth.'
13 Séba, Dedan, komèsan Tarsis yo ak tout ti vil li yo va di ou: ‘Èske ou vini pou kaptire piyaj la? Èske ou te rasanble twoup ou yo ou pou sezi piyaj la, pou pote ale ajan ak lò, pou pote ale bèt ak anpil byen, pou sezi gwo piyaj la?’”’
Sheba and Dedan, and the traders of Tarshish along with all its young warriors will say to you, 'Have you come to plunder? Have you assembled your armies to take away spoil, to carry off silver and gold, to take their livestock and property and to haul away much plunder?'
14 “Pou sa, pwofetize, fis a lòm e di a Gog: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Nan jou ke pèp Mwen an ap viv ansekirite a, èske ou p ap konnen sa?
Therefore prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: On that day, when my people Israel are living securely, will you not learn about them?
15 Ou va sòti nan plas kote ki pi lwen yo nan nò a, ou menm ak anpil pèp avèk ou, yo tout ap galope cheval, yon gwo asanble e yon lame pwisan.
You will come from your place far away in the north with a great army, all of them riding on horses, a great company, a large army.
16 Epi ou va vini kont pèp Mwen an, Israël, tankou yon gran nwaj k ap kouvri tout tè a. Li va vin rive nan dènye jou ke Mwen va mennen ou vini kont peyi Mwen, pou nasyon yo ka konnen Mwen lè M fin sanktifye atravè ou menm, O Gog, devan zye yo.”
You will attack my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land. In the latter days I will bring you against my land, so the nations might know me when I show myself through you, Gog, to be holy before their eyes.
17 “‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Èske ou se moun sou sila ke M te pale nan ansyen jou yo pa sèvitè Mwen yo, pwofèt Israël yo? Sila ki te pwofetize nan jou sa yo pandan anpil ane pou M ta mennen ou kont yo?
The Lord Yahweh says this: Are you not the one of whom I spoke in former days by the hand of my servants, the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in their own time for years that I would bring you against them?
18 Li va vin rive nan jou sila a, lè Gog monte kont peyi Israël”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a: “ke gwo chalè mekontantman Mwen va monte nan kòlè Mwen.
So it will come to be in that day when Gog attacks the land of Israel—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—my wrath will mount up in my anger.
19 Nan devouman Mwen ak nan chalè kòlè Mwen, Mwen deklare ke nan jou sa a, va anverite gen yon gwo tranbleman detè nan peyi Israël.
In my zeal and in the fire of my anger, I declare that on that day there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.
20 Pwason lanmè yo, zwazo syèl yo, bèt nan chan yo, tout bèt sila k ap kouri atè yo ak tout moun sou sifas tè a va souke devan prezans Mwen. Mòn yo tou va jete anba, ti wout apik yo va vin bouche e tout miray va tonbe atè.
They will shake before me—the fish of the sea and the birds of the skies, the beasts of the fields, and all the creatures that crawl on the earth, and every person who is on the surface of the land. The mountains will be thrown down and the cliffs will fall, until every wall falls to the earth.
21 Mwen va rele yon nepe kont li sou tout mòn Mwen yo”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a. “Nepe a tout moun va kont frè yo.
I will summon a sword against him on all my mountains—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—each man's sword will be against his brother.
22 Ak ensèk ak maladi, e ak san, Mwen va antre an jijman ak li. Mwen va voye lapli sou li ak twoup li yo e sou kantite moun ki vini avèk li yo, yon gwo lapli ak gwo wòch lagrèl, ak dife, ak souf.
Then I will judge him by plague and blood; and overflowing rain and hailstones and burning sulfur I will rain down upon him and his troops and the many nations that are with him.
23 Mwen va egzalte tèt Mwen, sanktifye tèt Mwen e fè tèt Mwen menm vin rekonèt nan zye a anpil nasyon. Konsa, yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.’”
For I will show my greatness and my holiness and I will make myself known in the eyes of the many nations, and they will know that I am Yahweh.'”
