< Izikiel 38 >
1 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
And the word of the Lord came to 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 your face against Gog, and the land of Magog, Rhos, prince of Mesoch and Thobel, 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 to him, Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I am against you, Rhos prince of Mesoch and Thobel:
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 gather you, and all your host, horses and horsemen, all wearing breastplates, with a great multitude, shields and helmets and swords:
5 Peshịa na Itiopia, na Put, ga-esonyere ha, ha niile ga-ejikwa ọta ha na okpu agha ha.
Persians, and Ethiopians, and Libyans; all with helmets and shields.
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 belonging to him; the house of Thorgama, from the end of the north, and all belonging to him; and many nations with you.
7 “‘Jikere! Jikere onwe gị, gị onwe gị na usuu ndị agha ahụ nọ gị gburugburu, gị Gog, bụrụkwa onyendu ha.
Be you prepared, prepare yourself, you, and all your multitude that is assembled with you, and you shall be to me for a guard.
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.
He shall be prepared after many days, and he shall come at the end of years, and shall come to a land that is brought back from the sword, when [the people] are gathered from many nations against the land of Israel, which was entirely desolate: and he is come forth out of the nations, and they shall all dwell securely.
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.
And you shall go up as rain, and shall arrive as a cloud to cover the land, and there shall be you, and all that are about you, and many nations with you.
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 says the Lord God; It shall also come to pass in that day, that thoughts shall come up into your heart, and you shall devise evil devices.
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 you shall say, I will go up to the rejected land; I will come upon them that are at ease in tranquility, and dwelling in peace, all inhabiting a land in which there is no wall, nor bars, nor have they doors;
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 seize plunder, and to take their spoil; to turn my hands against the desolate land that is [now] inhabited, and against a nation that is gathered from many nations, that have acquired property, dwelling 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?”’
Sabba, and Daedan, and Carthaginian merchants, and all their villages shall say to you, You are come for plunder to take a prey, and to get spoils: you have gathered your multitude to take silver and gold, to carry off property, to take spoils.
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 prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog, Thus says the Lord; Will you not arise in that day, when my people Israel are dwelling securely,
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 come out of your place from the farthest north, and many nations with you? all of them mounted on horses, a great gathering, and a large force?
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 you shall come up upon my people Israel as a cloud to cover the land; it shall come to pass in the last days, that I will bring you up upon my land, that all the nations may know me, when I am sanctified in you before them.
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 says the Lord God, to Gog; You are [he] concerning whom I spoke in former times, by the hand of my servants the prophets of Israel, in those days and years, that I would bring you up 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 in that day, in the day when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, says the Lord God,
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.
[that] my wrath and my jealousy shall arise, I have spoken in the fire of mine anger, verily 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.
and the fish of the sea shall quake at the presence of the Lord, and the birds of the sky and the wild beasts of the field, and all the reptiles that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are on the face of the earth; and the mountains shall be tore, and the valleys shall fall, and every wall on the land shall fall.
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 summon against it even every fear, says the Lord: the sword of [every] man 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 judge him with pestilence, and blood, and sweeping rain, and hailstones; and I will rain upon him fire and brimstone, and upon all that are with him, and upon many nations with him.
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.’
And I will be magnified, and sanctified, and glorified; and I will be known in the presence of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
