Hisqiʼeel 39
1 “Yaa ilma namaa, Googiin mormuudhaan raajii dubbadhu; akkanas jedhi: ‘Waaqayyo gooftaan akkana jedha: Yaa Goog, bulchaa hangafticha Meshekii fi Tuubaal ani sitti kaʼeera.
[Yahweh said to me], “You human, prophesy about [more terrible things that will happen] to Gog, and say this [to him]: ‘Gog, I am opposed to you who rule Meshech and Tubal.
2 Ani dugda duubatti si deebisee gara fuula duraatti sin oofa. Ani kaaba fagootii si fidee tulluuwwan Israaʼelitti sin erga.
I will turn you around and drag you [and your armies] from far north [of Israel] and send you to [fight on] the mountains in Israel.
3 Ergasii ani harka kee bitaa irraa iddaa kee dhaʼee harka kee mirgaa irraa immoo akka xiyyi kee buʼu nan godha.
When you are there, I will snatch your bows from your left hands and cause your arrows to fall from your right hands.
4 Atii fi loltoonni kee hundi, saboonni si wajjin jiranis tulluuwwan Israaʼel irratti ni kuftu. Ani allaattii raqaa kan gosa hundaatii fi bineensota bosonaatiif nyaata godhee sin kenna.
You and all the soldiers that are with you will die on the mountains in Israel. I will give your [corpses] to be food for the birds that eat [dead] flesh, and to the wild animals.
5 Ati dirree duwwaa irratti ni kufta; ani dubbadheeraatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
You will die in the open fields. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, [have said that it will happen].
6 Ani Maagoogii fi warra qarqara galaanaa irra nagaadhaan jiraatanitti ibidda nan erga; isaanis akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.
I will cause [many] fires to burn in Magog and among [all] those who live safely in the areas along their coasts, and they will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
7 “‘Ani akka saba koo Israaʼel gidduutti maqaan koo qulqulluun sun beekamu nan godha. Siʼachi akka maqaan koo qulqulluun sun xuraaʼu hin godhu; saboonnis akka ani Waaqayyo Qulqullicha Israaʼel taʼe ni beeku.
I will enable my Israeli people to know that I am holy. I will no longer allow people to damage my reputation, and [people in other] nations will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, am the Holy One in Israel.
8 Kunoo, wanni kun dhufaa jira! Dhugumaanis ni taʼa, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan. Guyyaan ani jedhes kanaa dha.
[I], Yahweh the Lord, declare that it will soon be the day that those things will happen. It will be the day that I have spoken [to you] about.
9 “‘Ergasii warri magaalaawwan Israaʼel keessa jiraatan baʼanii miʼa lolaa jechuunis gaachanawwan xixinnaa fi gurguddaa, iddaa fi xiyya, bokkuu lolaatii fi eeboo qoraan godhatanii bobeeffatu. Waggaa torbaafis akka qoraaniitti itti fayyadamu.
At that time, those Israelis who live in the towns will go out and gather the weapons [from your dead soldiers], and use them to make fires [to cook their food]. They will burn the small and large shields, the bows and arrows, the war clubs, and spears. There will be enough weapons to use as firewood for seven years.
10 Isaan sababii meeshaalee waraanaa qoraan godhatanii itti fayyadamaniif, dirreedhaa qoraan funaanuun yookaan bosona keessaa qoraan cabsuun isaan hin barbaachisu. Isaan warra isaan saaman ni saamu; warra isaan boojiʼanis ni boojiʼu, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
They will not need to gather firewood in the fields or cut wood from trees in the forests, because those weapons will be all the firewood [that they will need]. And they will take valuable things from those who took valuable things from them, and steal things from people who stole things from them. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare [will happen].
11 “‘Ani gaafas Israaʼel keessaa sulula karaa deemtotaa kan gama baʼa Galaanaatiin jiru sana keessatti Googiif lafa awwaalaa nan kenna. Sababii Googii fi tuunni isaa hundi achitti awwaalamaniif daandii imaltootaa ni cufu. Kanaafuu inni Sulula Hamoon Goog jedhamee waamama.
At that time I will create a graveyard for you, Gog, [and your soldiers], in the valley east of the [Dead] Sea. That graveyard will block the road that travelers [usually walk on], because you, Gog and all [the soldiers] of your huge army will be buried there. [So] it will be named ‘the Valley of Gog’s Huge Army’.
12 “‘Manni Israaʼelis biyyattii qulqulleessuuf jedhanii jiʼa torba guutuu isaan awwaalu.
For seven months the people of Israel will be burying those corpses. [It will be necessary to bury all of them], in order that the land will not be (defiled/considered unacceptable to me) [because of any unburied corpses].
13 Namoonni biyyattii hundi isaan awwaalu; guyyaan ani itti ulfaadhus guyyaa yaadannoo isaaniif taʼa, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
All the people of Israel will [do the work of] burying them. The day when I [win that victory] they will honor me.
14 “‘Namoonnis akka biyyattii qulqulleessaniif yeroo yerootti ni qaxaramu. Namoonni tokko tokko guutummaa biyyattii keessa deemu; kaan immoo warra utuu hin awwaalamin hafan awwaalu. Dhuma jiʼa torbaffaattis sakattaʼuu jalqabu.
After those seven months are ended, the Israeli people will appoint men to go throughout the land to bury corpses, in order that the land will not remain defiled.
15 Yommuu isaan biyya keessa deemanitti namni lafee namaa arge kam iyyuu mallattoo itti godha; kunis hamma warri awwaala qotan sun Sulula Hamoon Googiitti awwaalanitti taʼa.
When they go through the land, when one of them sees a human bone, he will set up a marker beside it. [When] the gravediggers [see the markers, they will pick up the bones] and bury them in the Valley of Gog’s Huge Army.
16 Magaalaan Hamoonaa jedhamtu tokko achi jirti; isaan akkasiin biyya sana qulqulleessu.’
There will be a city there named Hamonah, [which means ‘huge army’]. And by doing this [work of burying the corpses], they will (cleanse the land/cause the land to be acceptable to me again).’”
17 “Yaa ilma namaa, Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Simbirroo gosa hundaa fi bineensota bosonaa hundatti dubbadhu; akkanas jedhiin: ‘Naannoo hundaa walitti qabamaatii gara aarsaa ani isiniif qopheessuu, aarsaa guddicha tulluuwwan Israaʼel irratti dhiʼaatu biratti wal gaʼaa. Achittis foon nyaattu; dhiigas ni dhugdu.
[Yahweh said to me], “You human, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Summon every kind of bird and wild animal. Say to them, ‘Gather together from everywhere and come to the feast that Yahweh is preparing for you. [It will be] a great feast on the mountains in Israel. [There] you will eat [men’s] flesh and drink their blood.
18 Akka waan isaan korbeeyyii fi xobbaallaa hoolaa, reʼootaa fi jiboota taʼaniitti, isin foon namoota jajjaboo ni nyaattu; dhiiga bulchitoota lafaas ni dhugdu; hundi isaaniis horii Baashaan kanneen coomanii dha.
You will eat the flesh of strong soldiers and drink the blood of kings [as if they were] fat animals—rams and lambs, goats and bulls—from the Bashan [region].
19 Aarsaa ani isiniif qopheessu irratti hamma quuftanitti cooma nyaattu; hamma machooftanitti illee dhiiga dhugdu.
At that feast that Yahweh is preparing for you, you will eat fat until your [stomachs] are full, and you will drink blood until [it is as though] you are drunk.
20 Maaddii koo irraas hamma quuftanitti fardeenii fi warra fardeen yaabbatan, namoota jajjaboo fi loltoota gosa hundaa ni nyaattu’ jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
[It will be as though] you are eating at a table that I [have set up for you. You will eat all you want of the flesh] of horses and their riders, strong soldiers [DOU] of every kind.’ [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
21 “Ani saboota gidduutti ulfina koo nan argisiisa; saboonni hundi adabbii ani isaan adabee fi harka koo kan ani isaan irra kaaʼe sana ni argu.
I will show [people of] many nations that I am glorious, and all those nations will see how I punish them [DOU].
22 Gaafa sanaa jalqabees manni Israaʼel akka ani Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa taʼe ni beeka.
After that time, the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh their God, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
23 Saboonnis akka uummanni Israaʼel sababii cubbuu anaaf amanamuu diduu isaaniitiin hojjetan sanaatiif boojiʼaman ni beeku. Kanaafuu ani fuula koo isaan irraa garagalfadhee diinota isaaniitti dabarsee isaan kenne; hundi isaanis goraadeedhaan dhuman.
And the [people of other] nations will know that the Israeli people had been forced to go to other countries because they sinned by not being faithful to me. I (turned away from/abandoned) them, and allowed their enemies to capture them [IDM], and many [HYP] of them were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
24 Ani akkuma xuraaʼummaa isaaniittii fi yakka isaaniittis waan kana isaanitti nan fide; fuula koos isaan duraa dhokfadhe.
I punished them like they deserved to be punished because of their disgusting behavior and sins, and I turned away from them [MTY].
25 “Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Yaaqoobin boojuudhaa nan deebisa; uummata Israaʼel hundaaf garaa nan laafa; maqaa koo qulqullichaafis nan hinaafa.
Therefore, this is [now] what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will now bring back from exile/Babylonia [the descendants of] Jacob; I will pity all the Israeli people, and I will [also] jealously protect my reputation.
26 Isaan yeroo utuu namni tokko iyyuu isaan hin sodaachisin nagaadhaan biyya isaanii keessa jiraatanitti qaanii isaaniitii fi naaf amanamuu diduu isaanii hunda ni irraanfatu.
When the Israeli people [are back in their own country, they will] live safely in their land, with no one to cause them to be afraid, but they will be ashamed when they think about the disgraceful and unfaithful things that they did [previously].
27 Ani yeroon saboota keessaa isaan deebisee biyyoota diinota isaanii keessaa walitti isaan qabutti, qulqulluu taʼuu koo karaa isaaniitiin fuula saboota baayʼee duratti nan argisiisa.
When I have brought them back from their enemies’ countries and gathered them together [in Israel], the people of many nations will know that I am holy.
28 Ani akka isaan boojiʼamanii saboota gidduu jiraataniif isaan ergu iyyuu, utuu tokkoo isaanii illee duubatti hin hambisin biyya isaanii keessatti walitti isaan nan qaba; ergasiis isaan akka ani Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii taʼe ni beeku.
And the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh their Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do]. They will know that because [even though] I forced them to go to [other] countries, I will gather them together in their own country. I will not leave any of them in those countries.
29 Siʼachi ani fuula koo isaan duraa hin dhokfadhu; ani Hafuura koo mana Israaʼel irratti nan dhangalaasaatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.”
I will no longer turn away from them; I will pour out my Spirit on the Israeli people. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
