Hiezechielis Prophetæ 38
1 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
Yahweh’s word 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 your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 et dices ad eum haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego ad te Gog principem capitis Mosoch et Thubal
and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I am against you, 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
I will turn you around, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords;
5 Persae Aethiopes et Lybies cum eis omnes scutati et galeati
Persia, Cush, and Put 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 his hordes; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his hordes—even many peoples with you.
7 praepara et instrue te et omnem multitudinem tuam quae coacervata est ad te et esto eis in praeceptum
“‘“Be prepared, yes, prepare yourself, you, and all your companies who are assembled to you, and be a guard to them.
8 post dies multos visitaberis in novissimo annorum venies ad terram quae reversa est a gladio congregata est de populis multis ad montes Israhel qui fuerunt deserti iugiter haec de populis educta est et habitaverunt in ea confidenter universi
After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, on the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste; but it is brought out of the peoples and they will dwell securely, all of them.
9 ascendens autem quasi tempestas venies et quasi nubes ut operias terram tu et omnia agmina tua et populi multi tecum
You will ascend. You will come like a storm. You will be like a cloud to cover the land, you and all your hordes, and many peoples with you.”
10 haec dicit Dominus Deus in die illa ascendent sermones super cor tuum et cogitabis cogitationem pessimam
“‘The Lord Yahweh says: “It will happen in that day that things will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.
11 et dices ascendam ad terram absque muro veniam ad quiescentes habitantesque secure omnes habitant sine muro vectes et portae non sunt eis
You will say, ‘I will go up to the land of unwalled villages. I will go to those who are at rest, who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor 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
to take the plunder and to take prey; to turn your hand against the waste places that are inhabited, and against the people who are gathered out of the nations, who have gotten livestock and goods, who dwell in the middle of the earth.’
13 Seba 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 auferas supellectilem atque substantiam et diripias manubias infinitas
Sheba, Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all its young lions, will ask you, ‘Have you come to take the plunder? Have you assembled your company to take the prey, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’”’
14 propterea vaticinare fili hominis et dices ad Gog haec dicit Dominus Deus numquid non in die illo cum habitaverit populus meus Israhel confidenter scies
“Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and tell Gog, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “In that day when my people Israel dwells securely, will you not know it?
15 et venies de loco tuo a lateribus aquilonis tu et populi multi tecum ascensores equorum universi coetus magnus et exercitus vehemens
You will come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you, and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army.
16 et ascendes super populum meum Israhel 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 come up against my people Israel as a cloud to cover the land. It will happen in the latter days that I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me when I am sanctified in you, Gog, before their eyes.”
17 haec dicit Dominus Deus tu ergo ille es de quo locutus sum in diebus antiquis in manu servorum meorum prophetarum Israhel qui prophetaverunt in diebus illorum temporum ut adducerem te super eos
“‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Are you he of whom I spoke in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for years that I would bring you against them?
18 et erit in die illa in die adventus Gog super terram Israhel ait Dominus Deus ascendet indignatio mea in furore meo
It will happen in that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord Yahweh, “that my wrath will come up into my nostrils.
19 et in zelo meo in igne irae meae locutus sum quia in die illa erit commotio magna super terram Israhel
For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath I have spoken. Surely in that day there will be a great shaking 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 in terra corruet
so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, all creeping things who creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the surface of the earth will shake at my presence. Then the mountains will be thrown down, the steep places will fall, and every wall will fall to the ground.
21 et convocabo adversum eum in cunctis montibus meis gladium ait Dominus Deus gladius uniuscuiusque in fratrem suum dirigetur
I will call for a sword against him to all my mountains,” says the Lord Yahweh. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother.
22 et iudicabo eum peste et sanguine et imbre vehementi et lapidibus inmensis ignem et sulphur pluam super eum et super exercitum eius et super populos multos qui sunt cum eo
I will enter into judgment with him with pestilence and with blood. I will rain on him, on his hordes, and on the many peoples who are with him, torrential rains with great hailstones, fire, and sulfur.
23 et magnificabor et sanctificabor et notus ero in oculis gentium multarum et scient quia ego Dominus
I will magnify myself and sanctify myself, and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.”’
