Hiezechielis Prophetæ 38
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
And the word of Yahweh came unto 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 of the land of the Magog, Prince of Rosh Meshech and Tubal, - And prophesy concerning him,
3 et dices ad eum: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te Gog principem capitis Mosoch et Thubal,
and thou shalt say, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, — Behold me! against thee O Gog, Prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal;
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.
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 Persæ, Æthiopes, et Libyes cum eis, omnes scutati et galeati.
Persia Ethiopia and Libya with them, All of them, with shield and helmet;
6 Gomer, et universa agmina eius, domus Thogorma, latera Aquilonis, et totum robur eius, populique multi tecum.
Gomer and all her hordes, The house of Togarmah the remote men of the North and all his hordes, Many peoples with thee.
7 Præpara, et instrue te, et omnem multitudinem tuam, quæ coacervata est ad te: et esto eis in præceptum.
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 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.
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 Ascendens autem quasi tempestas venies, et quasi nubes, ut operias terram tu, et omnia agmina tua, et populi multi tecum.
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 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: In die illa ascendent sermones super cor tuum, et cogitabis cogitationem pessimam:
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 et dices: Ascendam ad terram absque muro: veniam ad quiescentes, habitantesque secure: hi omnes habitant sine muro, vectes, et portæ non sunt eis:
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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 Et venies de loco tuo a lateribus Aquilonis tu et populi multi tecum ascensores equorum universi, cœtus magnus, et exercitus vehemens.
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 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.
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 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 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 Et erit in die illa, in die adventus Gog super terram Israel, ait Dominus Deus, ascendet indignatio mea in furore meo.
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 Et in zelo meo, in igne iræ meæ locutus sum. Quia in die illa erit commotio magna super terram Israel:
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 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.
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 Et convocabo adversus eum in cunctis montibus meis gladium, ait Dominus Deus: gladius uniuscuiusque in fratrem suum dirigetur.
Then will I call against him, every terror, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, the sword of every man against his brother, shall be;
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.
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 Et magnificabor, et sanctificabor: et notus ero in oculis multarum gentium, et scient quia ego Dominus.
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.
