Izikiel 38
1 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 “Nwa nke mmadụ, chee ihu nʼala Magog, bukwaa amụma megide Gog, bụ onyeisi nke Meshek na Tubal. Buo amụma megide ya,
Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 sị, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ana m edo onwe m imegide gị, Gog, eze ukwu ndị Meshek na Tubal.
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4 Aga m echigharị gị, tinye gị nko nʼagba gị abụọ, jiri ya kpụpụta gị na usuu ndị agha gị niile, na ịnyịnya gị, na ndị na-agba ịnyịnya gị na ihe agha ha, na usuu ndị agha gị niile, ndị ji ọta ukwu na ọta nta, ndị niile na-ejide mma agha ha.
And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts [of armour, even] a great company [with] bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Peshịa na Itiopia, na Put, ga-esonyere ha, ha niile ga-ejikwa ọta ha na okpu agha ha.
Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Goma na usuu ndị agha ya niile, na ndị agha Bet Togama ndị si nʼakụkụ ugwu, dị ebe dị anya na ọtụtụ ndị mba ọzọ ga-eso gị.
Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: [and] many people with thee.
7 “‘Jikere! Jikere onwe gị, gị onwe gị na usuu ndị agha ahụ nọ gị gburugburu, gị Gog, bụrụkwa onyendu ha.
Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 Mgbe ọtụtụ ụbọchị gasịrị, a ga-akpọlite gị ibu agha. Nʼogologo oge dị nʼihu, ị ga-ebuso ala ahụ agha bụ ala ahụ na-enwetaghachi onwe ya site na mbibi nke ibu agha; ala ahụ e si na mba dị iche iche chịkọtaa ndị bi nʼime ya, mee ka ha birikwa nʼugwu niile nke Izrel ahụ naara atọgbọ nʼefu. E bulatara ha site na mba dị iche iche, ma ugbu a, ha anọrọla nʼudo.
After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land [that is] brought back from the sword, [and is] gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Gị onwe gị, na ndị agha gị niile, na ọtụtụ ndị mba ahụ dị iche iche ndị na-eso gị, jiri ọsọ, dịka ikuku siri ike, rigoo, kpuchie ala ahụ dịka igwe ojii.
Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
10 “‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Nʼụbọchị ahụ, echiche ọjọọ ga-abata nʼobi gị, mgbe ị na-atule ọtụtụ ihe dị iche iche nʼobi gị.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, [that] at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 Ị ga-asị, “Aga m ebuli megide nʼala na-enweghị mgbidi, aga m awakpo ndị nọ nʼudo na-adịghị atụ anya nsogbu ọbụla, ha niile bụ ndị bi nʼebe na-enweghị mgbidi, ha enweghịkwa ibo ọnụ ụzọ na mkpọrọ e ji akpọchi ha.
And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 Aga m akwata ihe nkwata, lụtakwa ihe nlụta nʼagha. Aga m eweli aka m megide obodo ndị a niile e wugharịrị ewugharị, megidekwa ndị a niile e si na mba dị iche iche chịkọtaa, bụ ndị bara ọgaranya nʼanụ ụlọ na ngwongwo dị iche iche, ndị bikwa nʼetiti ala a.”
To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places [that are now] inhabited, and upon the people [that are] gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Ndị Sheba na Dedan, na ndị ahịa Tashish niile, na ụmụ ọdụm ya niile ga-ajụ gị, “Ị bịara ịkwata ihe nkwata? Ị chịkọtara usuu ndị agha gị nʼihi ịkwara ihe nlụta, na iburu ọlaọcha na ọlaedo, na ịchịrị igwe anụ ụlọ ha, na ngwongwo ha, na ịkwakọrọ ihe ha nwere nʼike?”’
Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
14 “Nʼihi ya, nwa nke mmadụ, buo amụma sị Gog, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Nʼụbọchị ahụ mgbe ndị m bụ Izrel na-ebi nʼudo nʼala ha, ọ bụ na ị gaghị ahụta ya?
Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know [it]?
15 Ị ga-esi nʼebe obibi gị dị nʼugwu bịa, gị na ọtụtụ mba dị iche iche, ndị na-anọkwasị nʼịnyịnya. Ha ga-adị ukwuu, bụrụ ndị agha dị ike.
And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
16 Unu ga-abịa ibuso ndị m Izrel agha, kpuchie ala ha dịka igwe ojii. Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ dị nʼihu, aga m eme ka gị, bụ Gog, bịa buso ala m agha, ka mba niile si otu a mata m, mgbe m mere ka ịdị nsọ m pụta ìhè nʼanya ha site nʼihe m ga-eme.’
And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 “‘Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ọ bụ gị, bụ onye ahụ m kwuru okwu banyere ya nʼoge gara aga, site nʼọnụ ndị ohu m, bụ ndị amụma Izrel, ndị buru amụma ọtụtụ afọ na mgbe ahụ, sị, na m ga-eme ka ị megide ndị m.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; [Art] thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days [many] years that I would bring thee against them?
18 Lee ihe ga-eme nʼụbọchị ahụ. Mgbe Gog busoro ala Izrel agha, ọ ga-esi otu a kpalie iwe m dị ọkụ. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, [that] my fury shall come up in my face.
19 Nʼihi na esitere m nʼịnụ ọkụ nke obi m, na oke iwe m kwupụta sị, na ala ọma jijiji dị ukwuu ga-adị nʼIzrel nʼụbọchị ahụ.
For in my jealousy [and] in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20 Azụ niile dị nʼoke osimiri, na anụ ufe nke eluigwe, na anụ ọhịa, na ihe niile na-akpụ akpụ, na mmadụ niile nọ nʼelu ụwa ga-ama jijiji nʼihu m. A ga-akwatu ugwu niile, ebe niile dị mkputamkpu ga-adarukwa ala.
So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that [are] upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 Aga m akpọlite mma agha ka o megide Gog nʼugwu m niile. Onye ọbụla ga-ejikwa mma agha ya megide nwanne ya nwoke. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
22 Aga m eji ọrịa na-efe efe na iwusi ọbara kpee ya ikpe. Aga m awụkwasị ya na ndị agha ya na ọtụtụ mba dị iche iche ndị ahụ so ya, oke mmiri ozuzo na akụmmiri, na nkume ọkụ.
And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that [are] with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
23 Otu a ka m ga-esi gosi ịdị ukwuu m, na ịdị nsọ nke aha m. Aga m emekwa ka a mara m nʼanya mba niile dị iche iche. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.’
Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
