Hiezechielis Prophetæ 38

1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:

And there is a word of Jehovah unto 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 thy face unto Gog, of the land of Magog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy concerning him,

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

and thou hast said: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] 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.

And I have turned thee back, And I have put hooks in thy jaws, And have brought thee out, and all thy force, Horses and horsemen, Clothed in perfection all of them, A numerous assembly, [with] buckler and shield, Handling swords — all of them.

5 Persae, Aethiopes, et Libyes cum eis, omnes scutati et galeati.

Persia, Cush, and Phut, 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 its bands, The house of Togarmah of the sides of the north, And all its bands, many peoples with thee,

7 Praepara, et instrue te, et omnem multitudinem tuam, quae coacervata est ad te: et esto eis in praeceptum.

Be prepared, yea, prepare for thee, Thou and all thine assemblies who are assembled unto thee, And thou hast been to them for a 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 many days thou art appointed, In the latter end of the years thou comest in unto a land brought back from sword, [A people] gathered out of many peoples, Upon mountains of Israel, That have been for a perpetual waste, And it from the peoples hath been brought out, And dwelt safely have 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 hast gone up — as wasting thou comest in, As a cloud to cover the land art thou, Thou and all thy bands, and many peoples with thee.

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

Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And it hath come to pass in that day, Come up do things on thy heart, And thou hast thought an evil thought,

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

And thou hast said: I go up against a land of unwalled villages, I go in to those at rest, dwelling confidently, All of them are dwelling without walls, And bar and doors they have not.

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.

To take a spoil, and to take a prey, To turn back thy hand on inhabited wastes, And on a people gathered out of nations, Making cattle and substance, Dwelling on a high part 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 merchants of Tarshish, And all its young lions say to thee: To take a spoil art thou come in? To take a prey assembled thine assembly? To bear away silver and gold? To take away cattle and substance? To take a 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 thou hast said to Gog: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In that day, in the dwelling of My people Israel safely, Dost thou not know?

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

And thou hast come in out of thy place, From the sides of the north, Thou and many peoples with thee, Riding on horses — all of them, A great assembly, and a numerous 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 hast come up against My people Israel, As a cloud to cover the land, In the latter end of the days it is, And I have brought thee in against My land, In order that the nations may know Me, In My being sanctified in thee before their eyes, O Gog.

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.

Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Art thou he of whom I spake in former days, By the hand of My servants, prophets of Israel, Who are prophesying in those days — years, To bring thee in 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 hath come to pass, in that day, In the day of the coming in of Gog against the land of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Come up doth My fury in My face,

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

And in My zeal, in the fire of My wrath, I have spoken: Is there not in that day a great rushing on 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.

And rushed from My presence have fishes of the sea, And the fowl of the heavens, And the beast of the field, And every creeping thing that is creeping on the ground, And all men who [are] on the face of the ground, And thrown down have been the mountains, And fallen have the ascents, And every wall to the earth falleth.

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

And I have called against him, to all My mountains a sword, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, The sword of each is 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 have been judged with him, With pestilence and with blood, And an overflowing rain and hailstones, Fire and brimstone I rain on him, and on his bands, And on many peoples who [are] with him.

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

And I have magnified Myself, and sanctified Myself, And I have been known before the eyes of many nations, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!
