Hiezechielis Prophetæ 38
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
And the word of the LORD 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 toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, 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: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, chief prince of 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.
and I will turn thee about, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed most gorgeously, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords:
5 Persæ, Æthiopes, et Libyes cum eis, omnes scutati et galeati.
Persia, Cush, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
6 Gomer et universa agmina ejus, domus Thogorma, latera aquilonis, et totum robur ejus, populique multi tecum.
Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his bands; even many peoples with thee.
7 Præpara et instrue te, et omnem multitudinem tuam quæ coacervata est ad te: et esto eis in præceptum.
Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou guarded of them.
8 Post dies multos visitaberis: in novissimo annorum venies ad terram quæ reversa est a gladio, et congregata est de populis multis ad montes Israël, qui fuerunt deserti jugiter: hæc de populis educta est, et habitabunt in ea confidenter universi.
After many days thou shalt be mustered for service, in the latter years thou shalt come against the land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, against the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste; but it is brought forth out of the peoples, and they dwell safely all of them.
9 Ascendens autem quasi tempestas venies, et quasi nubes, ut operias terram: tu et omnia agmina tua, et populi multi tecum.
And thou shalt ascend, thou shalt come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many peoples 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 come to pass in that day, that things shall come into thy mind, and thou shalt devise an evil 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 thou shalt say: I will go up against the land of unwalled villages; I will come upon them that are at quiet, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates;
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 take the spoil and to take the prey; to turn thy hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, and against the people that are gathered out of the nations, that have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the middle of the earth.
13 Saba, et Dedan, et negotiatores Tharsis, et omnes leones ejus, 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 merchants of Tarshish, with all the magnates thereof, shall say unto thee: Comest thou to take the spoil? hast thou assembled thy company to take the prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take great spoil?
14 Propterea vaticinare, fili hominis, et dices ad Gog: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Numquid non in die illo, cum habitaverit populus meus Israël confidenter, scies?
Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and say unto Gog: Thus saith the Lord GOD: In that day when My people Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15 Et venies de loco tuo a lateribus aquilonis, tu et populi multi tecum, ascensores equorum universi: cœtus magnus, et exercitus vehemens.
And thou shalt come from thy place out of the uttermost parts of the north, thou, and many peoples with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company and a mighty army;
16 Et ascendes super populum meum Israël 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 against My people Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the end of days, and I will bring thee against My land, that the nations may know Me, when I shall be sanctified through thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Tu ergo ille es, de quo locutus sum in diebus antiquis in manu servorum meorum prophetarum Israël, qui prophetaverunt in diebus illorum temporum, ut adducerem te super eos.
Thus saith the Lord GOD: Art thou he of whom I spoke in old time by My servants the prophets of Israel, that prophesied in those days for many years, that I would bring thee against them?
18 Et erit in die illa, in die adventus Gog super terram Israël, ait Dominus Deus, ascendet indignatio mea in furore meo.
And it shall come to pass in that day, when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that My fury shall arise up in My nostrils.
19 Et in zelo meo, in igne iræ meæ locutus sum, quia in die illa erit commotio magna super terram Israël:
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 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.
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 ground, 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 Et convocabo adversus eum in cunctis montibus meis gladium, ait Dominus Deus: gladius uniuscujusque in fratrem suum dirigetur.
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 Et judicabo eum peste, et sanguine, et imbre vehementi, et lapidibus immensis: ignem et sulphur pluam super eum, et super exercitum ejus, et super populos multos qui sunt cum eo.
And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will cause to rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many peoples that are with him, an overflowing shower, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
23 Et magnificabor, et sanctificabor, et notus ero in oculis multarum gentium: et scient quia ego Dominus.
Thus will I magnify Myself, and sanctify Myself, and I will make Myself known in the eyes of many nations; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
