UHezekheli 38
1 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 “Ndodana yomuntu, khangelisa ubuso bakho bumelane loGogi, owaselizweni laseMagogi, inkosana enkulu yaseMesheki kanye laseThubhali; phrofetha kubi ngaye
O son of humankind set face your to Gog [the] land of Magog [the] prince of [the] head of Meshech and Tubal and prophesy on him.
3 uthi: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngimelana lawe, wena Gogi, nkosana enkulu yaseMesheki kanye laseThubhali.
And you will say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] against you O Gog [the] prince of [the] head of Meshech and Tubal.
4 Ngizakutshibilikisa, ngifake amawuka emihlathini yakho ngikukhuphe lebutho lakho lonke, amabhiza akho, abagadi bamabhiza bakho behlome bephelele, lexuku elikhulukazi lilamahawu amancane lamakhulu, bonke benyikinya izinkemba zabo.
And I will turn around you and I will put hooks in jaws your and I will bring out you and all army your horses and horsemen clothed of perfection all of them a company great body shield and shield wielders of swords all of them.
5 IPhezhiya, leKhushi kanye lePhuthi bazakuba belabo, bonke belamahawu lezingowane,
Persia Cush and Put [will be] with them all of them shield and helmet.
6 njalo leGomeri lamabutho ayo wonke, kanye leBhethi Thogarima ivela khatshana enyakatho lamabutho ayo wonke, izizwe ezinengi ezilawe.
Gomer and all troops its Beth Togarmah [the] remotest parts of [the] north and all troops its peoples many [will be] with you.
7 Lunga; zilungisele, wena kanye lamaxuku wonke abuthene emaceleni akho wonke, uwalawule.
Be prepared and prepare for yourself O you and all company your that have assembled with you and you will become for them a guard.
8 Emva kwensuku ezinengi uzabizelwa empini. Eminyakeni ezayo uzahlasela ilizwe eselisindile empini, elilabantu balo ababuthwa ezizweni ezinengi basiwa ezintabeni zako-Israyeli ezaziphundlekile okwesikhathi eside. Babekhutshiwe ezizweni, khathesi bonke bahlezi ekuvikelekeni.
From days many you will be mustered at [the] end of the years you will go - into a land - restored from [the] sword gathered together from peoples many on [the] mountains of Israel which they had become a desolation continually and it from peoples it had been brought out and they will be dwelling to security all of them.
9 Wena lamabutho akho wonke kanye lezizwe ezinengi ezilawe lizakuya khonale, liqhubeka njengesiphepho; lizakuba njengeyezi lisibekele ilizwe.
And you will go up like storm you will go like cloud [about] to cover the land you are you and all troops your and peoples many with you.
10 Lokhu yikho okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngalolosuku kuzafika imicabango engqondweni yakho njalo uzaceba isu elibi.
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh and it will be - on the day that they will come up words on heart your and you will plan a plan evil.
11 Uzakuthi, “Ngizahlasela ilizwe elilemizi engelamithangala; ngizahlasela abantu abalokuthula abanganakaneli lutho, bonke abahlezi bengelamithangala njalo bengelamasango lemigoqo.
And you will say I will go up on a land of villages I will go those at peace [who] dwell to security all of them [are] dwelling with not a wall and bar[s] and gates not [belong] to them.
12 Ngizaphanga njalo ngithumbe ngiphinde ngiguqulele isandla sami ekumeleni amanxiwa asahlaliswa abantu lasebantwini abaqoqwa ezizweni, abalezifuyo ezinengi lempahla, abahlala enkabeni yelizwe.”
To plunder plunder and to take as spoil spoil to turn hand your on waste places inhabited and against a people gathered from nations [who] have acquired livestock and possession[s] [who] dwell at [the] center of the earth.
13 IShebha leDedani kanye labathengisi bonke baseThashishi lemizi yalo yonke bazakuthi kuwe, “Lande ukuzaphanga na? Uqoqe amaxuku akho ukuba uthumbe, uthathe isiliva legolide, uthathe izifuyo kanye lempahla njalo uthumbe impango enengi na?”’
Sheba and Dedan and [the] traders of Tarshish and all young lions its they will say to you ¿ to plunder plunder [are] you coming ¿ to take as spoil spoil have you assembled company your to carry away - silver and gold to take livestock and possession[s] to plunder plunder great.
14 Ngakho, ndodana yomuntu, phrofetha uthi kuGogi: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngalolosuku, lapho abantu bami u-Israyeli sebehlala ekuvikelweni, kawuyikukubona na?
Therefore prophesy O son of humankind and you will say to Gog thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh ¿ not - on the day that when dwell people my Israel to security will you know.
15 Uzakuza uvela endaweni yakho khatshana le enyakatho, wena kanye lezizwe ezinengi ezilawe, zonke zigade amabhiza, ixuku elikhulukazi, ibutho elilamandla.
And you will come from place your from [the] remotest parts of [the] north you and peoples many with you riders of horses all of them a company great and an army great.
16 Uzaqhubeka umelana labantu bami u-Israyeli njengeyezi elisibekele ilizwe. Ensukwini ezizayo, wena Gogi, ngizakwenza umelane lelizwe lami, ukuze izizwe zingazi lapho sengizibonakalisa ngingcwele ngawe phambi kwazo.
And you will go up on people my Israel like cloud to cover the land at [the] end of the days it will happen and I will bring you on land my so as to know the nations me when I show holy myself by you to eyes their O Gog.
17 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Kanti kawusuwe yini engakhuluma ngawe ensukwini zakudala ngezinceku zami abaphrofethi bako-Israyeli na? Ngalesosikhathi baphrofetha iminyaka eminengi ukuthi ngangizakwenza umelane labo.
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh ¿ [are] you he whom I spoke in days former by [the] hand of servants my [the] prophets of Israel who prophesied in the days those years to bring you on them.
18 Nanku okuzakwenzakala ngalolosuku: Lapho uGogi esehlasela ilizwe lako-Israyeli ulaka lwami oluvuthayo luzavuka, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
And it will be - on the day that on [the] day comes Gog on [the] land of Israel [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh it will rise rage my in anger my.
19 Ngokutshiseka kwami langolaka lwami oluvuthayo ngithi ngalesosikhathi kuzakuba lokuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu elizweni lako-Israyeli.
And in jealousy my in [the] fire of wrath my I have spoken if not - on the day that it will be an earthquake great on [the] land of Israel.
20 Inhlanzi zasolwandle, izinyoni zasemoyeni, izinyamazana zeganga, zonke izidalwa ezihamba phansi, labantu bonke abasemhlabeni kuzathuthumela ngokuba khona kwami. Izintaba zizagenqulwa, amawa azabhidlika njalo lemiduli yonke izawela phansi.
And they will shake from before me [the] fish of the sea and [the] bird[s] of the heavens and [the] animal[s] of the field and every creeping thing which creeps on the ground and all humankind which [is] on [the] surface of the ground and they will be thrown down the mountains and they will fall the steep places and every wall to the ground it will fall.
21 Ngizalaya inkemba imelane loGogi kuzozonke izintaba zami, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi. Inkemba yomuntu ngamunye izamelana lomfowabo.
And I will summon on him to all mountains my a sword [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh [the] sword of each on brother his it will be.
22 Ngizamahlulela ngesifo langokuchithwa kwegazi; ngizathululela phansi izihlambi zezulu, isiqhotho lesolufa etshisayo phezu kwakhe laphezu kwamabutho akhe kanye laphezu kwezizwe ezinengi ezilaye.
And I will enter into judgment with him by pestilence and by blood and rain overflowing and stones of hail fire and sulfur I will rain down on him and on troops his and on peoples many which [are] with him.
23 Ngalokho ngizabonakalisa ubukhulu bami lobungcwele bami, njalo ngizakwenza ngazakale phambi kwezizwe ezinengi. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.’”
And I will show myself great and I will show myself holy and I will make myself known to [the] eyes of nations many and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.
