Izikiel 38
1 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
And the word of Yahweh 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 of the land of the Magog, Prince of Rosh Meshech and Tubal, - And prophesy concerning 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 thou shalt say, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, — Behold me! against thee O Gog, Prince of Rosh, 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.
Therefore I will turn thee about, and will put hooks in thy jaws, —and bring thee forth and all thine army. Horses and horsemen Clothed with gorgeous attire, all of them, A mighty gathered host With shield and buckler handling swords, all of them:
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 her hordes, The house of Togarmah the remote men of the North and all his hordes, Many peoples with thee.
7 “‘Jikere! Jikere onwe gị, gị onwe gị na usuu ndị agha ahụ nọ gị gburugburu, gị Gog, bụrụkwa onyendu ha.
Be ready, and show thyself ready, Thou and all thy gathered host who have gathered themselves unto thee, — And become thou for me 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.
After many days, shalt thou muster thy forces, In the afterpart of the years, shalt thou enter Into the land of the remnant brought back from the sword Gathered from among many peoples, Upon the mountains of Israel which have been waste continually, — But the same! from among the peoples, hath been brought forth, And they shall dwell in security, 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.
Then shalt thou come up, Like a storm, shalt thou enter, Like a cloud covering the land, shalt thou be, — Thou and all thy hordes, and many peoples 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 My Lord, Yahweh, — So shall it be in that day, that thoughts will come up on thy heart.- And thou wilt devise a wicked device;
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 wilt say— I will go up over a land of hamlets, I will enter among them who are at rest dwelling securely, — All of them, dwelling without a wall, Who bars and doors, have none;
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 capture spoil. And take prey, - To bring back thy hand over desolate places at length inhabited And against a people gathered from among the nations, Getting herds and substance Dwelling upon the navel of the earth.
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 traders of Tarshish and all her young lions, will say to thee, To capture spoil, art thou coming? And to take prey, hast thou called together thy gathered host? To carry off silver and gold To take away herds and substance, To capture 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 prophesy, Son of man, and thou shalt say to Gog. Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh: Shall it not be in that day, because my people Israel are dwelling securely: , that thou wilt rouse thyself?
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.
Therefore wilt thou come out of thy place. Out of the remote parts of the North, Thou and many peoples with thee, —Riding on horses all of them, A mighty gathered host. Yea a great 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.’
Therefore wilt thou come up, against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land, — In the afterpart of the days, shall it be. that I will suffer thee to enter upon my land, To the end the nations may know me, when I hallow myself in thee before their eyes O Gog!
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 My Lord, Yahweh, Art thou, he of whom I spake in days aforetime by the hand of my servants the prophets of Israel, who kept on prophesying in those days for years, —That thou shouldest be suffered to come 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.
So then shall it come to pass in that day, In the day when Gog entereth upon the soil of Israel, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, That mine indignation shall come up into my nostrils;
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.
Yea, in my jealousy, in the fire of mine outburst, have I spoken, - Surely in that day, shall there be a great trembling upon the soil 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.
Then shall tremble before me The fishes of the sea, and The bird of the heavens and The wild beast of the field, and Every creeping thing that creepeth on the ground, and All the men who are on the face of the ground, — and The mountains, shall be torn asunder, and The steep places, shall sink down, and, Every wall, to the earth, shall be thrown.
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.
Then will I call against him, every terror, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, the sword of every man against his brother, shall be;
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.
Then will I contend with him by pestilence and by blood, - And an overflowing downpour and hail-stones fire and brimstone, will I rain Upon him, and Upon his hordes, and Upon the many peoples who are 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.’
So will I Magnify myself and Hallow myself, and Make myself known. Before the eyes of many nations, —And they shall know that I, am Yahweh.
