Hiezechielis Prophetæ 38

1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 Fili hominis pone faciem tuam contra Gog, terram Magog, principem capitis Mosoch, et Thubal: et vaticinare de eo,

Son of man, set thy face against Gog, and the land of Magog, Rhos, prince of Mesoch and Thobel, and prophesy against him,

3 et dices ad eum: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te Gog principem capitis Mosoch et Thubal,

and say to him, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, Rhos prince of Mesoch and Thobel:

4 et circumagam te, et ponam frenum in maxillis tuis: et educam te, et omnem exercitum tuum, equos et equites vestitos loricis universos, multitudinem magnam, hastam et clypeum arripientium et gladium.

and I will gather thee, and all thine host, horses and horsemen, all wearing breast-plates, with a great multitude, shields and helmets and swords:

5 Persæ, Æthiopes, et Libyes cum eis, omnes scutati et galeati.

Persians, and Ethiopians, and Libyans; all with helmets and shields.

6 Gomer, et universa agmina eius, domus Thogorma, latera Aquilonis, et totum robur eius, populique multi tecum.

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 thee.

7 Præpara, et instrue te, et omnem multitudinem tuam, quæ coacervata est ad te: et esto eis in præceptum.

Be thou prepared, prepare thyself, thou, and all thy multitude that is assembled with thee, and thou shalt be to me for a guard.

8 Post dies multos visitaberis: in novissimo annorum venies ad terram, quæ reversa est a gladio, et congregata est de populis multis ad montes Israel, qui fuerunt deserti iugiter: hæc de populis educta est, et habitabunt in ea confidenter universi.

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 Ascendens autem quasi tempestas venies, et quasi nubes, ut operias terram tu, et omnia agmina tua, et populi multi tecum.

And thou shalt go up as rain, and shalt arrive as a cloud to cover the land, and there shall be thou, and all that are about thee, and many nations with thee.

10 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: In die illa ascendent sermones super cor tuum, et cogitabis cogitationem pessimam:

Thus saith the Lord God; It shall also come to pass in that day, that thoughts shall come up into thine heart, and thou shalt devise evil devices.

11 et dices: Ascendam ad terram absque muro: veniam ad quiescentes, habitantesque secure: hi omnes habitant sine muro, vectes, et portæ non sunt eis:

And thou shalt 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 Ut diripias spolia, et invadas prædam, ut inferas manum tuam super eos, qui deserti fuerant, et postea restituti, et super populum, qui est congregatus ex Gentibus, qui possidere cœpit, et esse habitator umbilici terræ.

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 Saba, et Dedan, et negotiatores Tharsis, et omnes leones eius dicent tibi: Numquid ad sumenda spolia tu venis? Ecce ad diripiendam prædam congregasti multitudinem tuam, ut tollas argentum, et aurum, et auferas supellectilem, atque substantiam, et diripias manubias infinitas.

Sabba, and Daedan, and Carthaginian merchants, and all their villages shall say to thee, Thou art come for plunder to take a prey, and to get spoils: thou hast gathered thy multitude to take silver and gold, to carry off property, to take spoils.

14 Propterea vaticinare fili hominis, et dices ad Gog: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Numquid non in die illo, cum habitaverit populus meus Israel confidenter, scies?

Therefore prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog, Thus saith the Lord; Wilt thou not arise in that day, when my people Israel are dwelling securely,

15 Et venies de loco tuo a lateribus Aquilonis tu et populi multi tecum ascensores equorum universi, cœtus magnus, et exercitus vehemens.

and come out of thy place from the farthest north, and many nations with thee? all of them mounted on horses, a great gathering, and a large force?

16 Et ascendes super populum meum Israel quasi nubes, ut operias terram. In novissimis diebus eris, et adducam te super terram meam: ut sciant Gentes me, cum sanctificatus fuero in te in oculis eorum, o Gog.

And thou shalt 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 thee up upon my land, that all the nations may know me, when I am sanctified in thee before them.

17 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Tu ergo ille es, de quo locutus sum in diebus antiquis in manu servorum meorum prophetarum Israel, qui prophetaverunt in diebus illorum temporum, ut adducerem te super eos.

Thus saith the Lord God, to Gog; Thou art [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 thee up against them.

18 Et erit in die illa, in die adventus Gog super terram Israel, ait Dominus Deus, ascendet indignatio mea in furore meo.

And it shall come to pass in that day, in the day when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God,

19 Et in zelo meo, in igne iræ meæ locutus sum. Quia in die illa erit commotio magna super terram Israel:

[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 et commovebuntur a facie mea pisces maris, et volucres cæli, et bestiæ agri, et omne reptile, quod movetur super humum, cunctique homines, qui sunt super faciem terræ: et subvertentur montes, et cadent sepes, et omnis murus corruet in terram.

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 rent, and the valleys shall fall, and every wall on the land shall fall.

21 Et convocabo adversus eum in cunctis montibus meis gladium, ait Dominus Deus: gladius uniuscuiusque in fratrem suum dirigetur.

And I will summon against it even every fear, saith the Lord: the sword of [every] man shall be against his brother.

22 Et iudicabo eum peste, et sanguine, et imbre vehementi et lapidibus immensis: ignem, et sulphur pluam super eum, et super exercitum eius, et super populos multos, qui sunt cum eo.

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 Et magnificabor, et sanctificabor: et notus ero in oculis multarum gentium, et scient quia ego Dominus.

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.
