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, et terram Magog, principem capitis Mosoch, et Thubal: et vaticinare de eo,
“Son of man, set your face against Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him
3 et dices ad eum: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te Gog principem capitis Mosoch et Thubal,
and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, 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.
I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws, and bring you out with all your army—your horses, your horsemen in full armor, and a great company armed with shields and bucklers, all brandishing their swords.
5 Persae, Aethiopes, et Libyes cum eis, omnes scutati et galeati.
Persia, Cush, and Put will accompany them, all with shields and helmets,
6 Gomer, et universa agmina eius, domus Thogorma, latera Aquilonis, et totum robur eius, populique multi tecum.
as well as Gomer with all its troops, and Beth-togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you.
7 Praepara, et instrue te, et omnem multitudinem tuam, quae coacervata est ad te: et esto eis in praeceptum.
Get ready; prepare yourself, you and all your company gathered around you; you will be their guard.
8 Post dies multos visitaberis: in novissimo annorum venies ad terram, quae reversa est a gladio, et congregata est de populis multis ad montes Israel, qui fuerunt deserti iugiter: haec de populis educta est, et habitabunt in ea confidenter universi.
After a long time you will be summoned. In the latter years you will enter a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and all now dwell securely.
9 Ascendens autem quasi tempestas venies, et quasi nubes, ut operias terram tu, et omnia agmina tua, et populi multi tecum.
You and all your troops, and many peoples with you will go up, advancing like a thunderstorm; you will be like a cloud covering the land.
10 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: In die illa ascendent sermones super cor tuum, et cogitabis cogitationem pessimam:
This is what the Lord GOD says: On that day, thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.
11 et dices: Ascendam ad terram absque muro: veniam ad quiescentes, habitantesque secure: hi omnes habitant sine muro, vectes, et portae non sunt eis:
You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will come against a tranquil people who dwell securely, all of them living without walls or bars or gates—
12 Ut diripias spolia, et invadas praedam, ut inferas manum tuam super eos, qui deserti fuerant, et postea restituti, et super populum, qui est congregatus ex Gentibus, qui possidere coepit, et esse habitator umbilici terrae.
in order to seize the spoil and carry off the plunder, to turn a hand against the desolate places now inhabited and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and possessions and who live at the center 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 praedam 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 its villages will ask, ‘Have you come to capture the plunder? Have you assembled your hordes to carry away loot, to make off with silver and gold, to take cattle and goods, to seize great spoil?’
14 Propterea vaticinare fili hominis, et dices ad Gog: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Numquid non in die illo, cum habitaverit populus meus Israel confidenter, scies?
Therefore prophesy, son of man, and tell Gog that this is what the Lord GOD says: On that day when My people Israel are dwelling securely, will you not take notice of this?
15 Et venies de loco tuo a lateribus Aquilonis tu et populi multi tecum ascensores equorum universi, coetus magnus, et exercitus vehemens.
And you will come from your place out of the far north—you and many peoples with you, all riding horses—a mighty horde, a huge 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.
You will advance against My people Israel like a cloud covering the land. It will happen in the latter days, O Gog, that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me when I show Myself holy in you before their eyes.
17 Haec 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.
This is what the Lord GOD says: Are you the one of whom I have spoken in former days through My servants, the prophets of Israel, who in those times prophesied for years that I would bring you against them?
18 Et erit in die illa, in die adventus Gog super terram Israel, ait Dominus Deus, ascendet indignatio mea in furore meo.
Now on that day when Gog comes against the land of Israel, declares the Lord GOD, My wrath will flare up.
19 Et in zelo meo, in igne irae meae locutus sum. Quia in die illa erit commotio magna super terram Israel:
In My zeal and fiery rage I proclaim that on that day there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.
20 et commovebuntur a facie mea pisces maris, et volucres caeli, et bestiae agri, et omne reptile, quod movetur super humum, cunctique homines, qui sunt super faciem terrae: et subvertentur montes, et cadent sepes, et omnis murus corruet in terram.
The fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, every creature that crawls upon the ground, and all mankind on the face of the earth will tremble at My presence. The mountains will be thrown down, the cliffs will collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground.
21 Et convocabo adversus eum in cunctis montibus meis gladium, ait Dominus Deus: gladius uniuscuiusque in fratrem suum dirigetur.
And I will summon a sword against Gog on all My mountains, declares the Lord GOD, and every man’s sword will 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.
I will execute judgment upon him with plague and bloodshed. I will pour out torrents of rain, hailstones, fire, and sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him.
23 Et magnificabor, et sanctificabor: et notus ero in oculis multarum gentium, et scient quia ego Dominus.
I will magnify and sanctify Myself, and will reveal Myself in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
