Ezekiela 38

1 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:

A message from the Lord came to me, saying,

2 Ry zanak’ olona, manandrifia an’ i Goga avy any amin’ ny tany Magoga, izay mpanjakan’ i Rosy sy Meseka ary Tobala, ary maminania ny hamelezana azy,

“Son of man, face towards Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him

3 ka ataovy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, avy hamely anao Aho, ry Goga, mpanjakan’ i Rosy sy Meseka ary Tobala.

and declare that this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, I am condemning you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.

4 Ary hitarika anao Aho ka hanisy masom-by ny valanoranonao, ary ho entiko mivoaka ianao sy ny tafikao rehetra, dia ny soavaly sy ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly, samy mitafy marevaka izy rehetra, dia olona maro be mitondra ampinga lehibe sy ampinga kely, ary samy mitan-tsabatra;

I will send you in a different direction, put hooks in your jaws, and drag you out with your whole army, including your horses, your horsemen in uniform, and a host of men with large and small shields and bucklers, all waving their swords.

5 miaraka aminy ny Persiana sy ny Etiopiana ary ny Libyana, samy mitondra ampinga lehibe sy fiarovan-doha avokoa,

Soldiers from Persia, Cush, and Put will join them, all equipped with shields and helmets,

6 Gomera koa mbamin’ ny miaramilany rehetra, ny taranak’ i Togarma avy any amin’ ny farany avaratra mbamin’ ny miaramilany rehetra, dia firenena maro izay miaraka aminao.

together with Gomer and all its armies, as well as Beth-togarmah from the distant places of the north with all its armies—and many other nations that join with you.

7 Miomana, ka mitaova tsara ianao, eny, ianao sy ireo momba anao izay efa mivory ao aminao, ary aoka ianao no ho mpitarika azy.

Get ready! Make sure you and your whole army with you is prepared. You're the one in charge of them.

8 Rehefa afaka andro maro, dia hotadiavina ianao, raha mby any am-parany, dia ho tonga any amin’ ny tany izay novonjena ka afaka tamin’ ny sabatra ianao, dia tany novorina avy tany amin’ ny firenena maro, any an-tendrombohitry ny Isirady, izay efa lao hatry ny ela; fa efa navoaka avy tany amin’ ny firenena izy, ka dia mandry fahizay izy rehetra.

A long time later you will be called to battle. In the final years you will invade a country that has recovered from war. Its people will have been gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had been abandoned for a long time. They had been brought back from the nations, and were all living in safety.

9 Eny, hiakatra ianao, ary ho tahaka ny fihavin’ ny rivo-doza no hihavianao, ka ho tahaka ny rahona hanarona ny tany dia ianao sy ny miaramilanao rehetra mbamin’ ny firenena maro izay miaraka aminao.

You and your whole army, and the armies of many nations with you, will advance like an incoming storm, like a cloud that covers the land.

10 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy eritreritra hiditra ao an-tsainao, ary hamoron-kevi-dratsy ianao

This is what the Lord God says: On that day you will start thinking about things in your mind, and you will come up with an evil plan.

11 ka hanao hoe: Hiakatra aho hamely ny tany izay misy tanàna tsy mimanda; hankamin’ izay mandry fahizay sy mitoetra tsy manana ahiahy aho, samy, monina ao an-tanàna tsy misy manda na hidy na vavahady izy rehetra,

You tell yourself, ‘I'm going to attack a country of undefended villages, a peaceful people who don't suspect an attack. They all live in towns without defensive walls or barred gates.

12 mba hamabo sy handroba ary hamely indray izay efa rava, saingy vao misy mponina ankehitriny izao, ary ny firenena izay nangonina avy tany amin’ ny jentilisa sady nihary omby sy fananana, dia ireo mitoetra ao amin’ ny foiben’ ny tany.

I'll be able to loot them—I'll rob them of their possessions. I'll attack those places that were once ruined but now are inhabited again. I'll attack a people brought back from the other nations, who now own livestock and possessions, living in the center of the country.’

13 Sheba sy Dedana ary ny mpandranton’ i Tarsisy rehetra mbamin’ ireo lionany tanora rehetra dia hanao aminao hoe: Tonga hamabo va ianao? Nangoninao handroba va ireto olonao betsaka ireto, hahalasa volafotsy sy volamena, handroba harena sy fananana ary hahazo babo betsaka?

Sheba and Dedan and the traders from Tarshish with all its strong leaders will ask, ‘Are you going to loot the place? Have you gathered your armies to rob them, to carry away silver and gold, to take cattle and possessions—to grab a great deal of plunder?’

14 Koa maminania, ry zanak’ olona, ka ataovy amin’ i Goga hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Moa amin’ izany andro hitoeran’ ny Isiraely oloko mandry fahizay izany dia tsy ho fantatrao va izany?

So prophesy, son of man, and tell Gog that this is what the Lord God says: On the day you attack aren't you going to notice that my people Israel are unsuspecting?

15 Ary ho tonga avy any amin’ ny fonenanao avy any amin’ ny farany avaratra ianao mbamin’ ny firenena maro miaraka aminao, izay samy mitaingin-tsoavaly, dia olona maro be sy miaramila betsaka;

You'll advance from your place in the distant north, you and your many allies, everyone riding horses, a huge number of men, a massive army.

16 ary hiakatra hamely ny Isiraely oloko tahaka ny fiakatry ny rahona hanarona ny tany ianao; any am-parany no ho tonga izany; ary ho entiko hamely ny taniko ianao, mba hahafantaran’ ny firenena Ahy, rehefa miseho ho masìna eo anatrehany Aho amin’ ny ataoko aminao, ry Goga.

You will attack my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land. Gog, in the last days I will send you to attack my land, so that the nations may acknowledge me as holy when I reveal myself to them by what I do through you.

17 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Moa ianao va ilay nampilazaiko ny mpanompoko hatramin’ ny fahiny, dia ny mpaminanin’ ny Isiraely, izay naminany ela tamin’ izany andro izany ny hampakarako anao hamely azy?

This is what the Lord God says: Aren't you the one of whom I spoke about long ago through my servants, the prophets of Israel? During that time didn't they prophesy for years that I would have you come and attack them?

18 Ary amin’ izany andro izany, dia ny andro hihavian’ i Goga hamely ny tanin’ ny Isiraely, hoy Jehovah Tompo, dia hiefona eo am-bavoroko ny fahatezerako.

Now on that day, the day when Gog comes to attack the country of Israel, I will become very angry, declares the Lord God.

19 Fa amin’ ny fahasaro-piaroko sy ny afon’ ny fahatezerako no nitenenako hoe: Amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy horohoro mafy any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely,

In my passionate, furious anger I announce that at that time a violent earthquake will hit of the country of Israel.

20 ka hangorohoro eo anatrehako ny hazandrano any an-dranomasina sy ny voro-manidina sy ny bibi-dia ary ny biby mandady sy mikisaka rehetra izay mandady sy mikisaka amin’ ny tany ary ny olona rehetra ambonin’ ny tany; dia hazera ny tendrombohitra, hikoany fiakarana mideza, ary hirodana ity ampiantany rehetra.

Everything that lives on the earth will tremble at my presence—the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the wild animals, every creature that runs upon the ground, and every human being. The mountains will be torn down, the cliffs will collapse, and every wall will be knocked to the ground.

21 Dia hiantso sabatra Aho hamely azy eny amin’ ny tendrombohitro rehetra, hoy Jehovah Tompo: ary hifamely sabatra amin’ ny namany avy izy rehetra.

I will call for an attack on Gog from all my mountains, declares the Lord God. Everyone will attack his brother with sword.

22 Ary hamaly azy amin’ ny areti-mandringana sy ny rà sy ny ranon’ orana manafotra ary ny havandra vaventy Aho; ary koa, handatsaka afo sy solifara aminy sy amin’ ny miaramilany mbamin’ ny firenena maro izay miaraka aminy Aho.

I will punish him with disease and bloodshed. I will send rainstorms, hailstones, fire, and sulfur down on him and his army, and on the armies of his many allies.

23 Ka dia hasehoko ny fihalehibiazako sy ny fahamasinako; ary ho fantatra eo imason’ ny firenena maro Aho: ka dia ho fantany fa Izaho no Jehovah.

I will demonstrate my true power and holiness, revealing myself to many nations. Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
