< Ezequiel 38 >
1 Veio mais a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Filho do homem, dirige o teu rosto contra Gog, terra de MaGog, príncipe e chefe de Mesech e Tubal, e profetiza contra ele,
“Son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the prince of the head of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy about him.
3 E dize: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Eis que eu estou contra ti, ó Gog, príncipe e chefe de Mesech e de Tubal;
And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of the head of Meshech and Tubal.
4 E te farei voltar, e porei anzois nos teus queixos, e te levarei a ti, com todo o teu exército, cavalos e cavaleiros, todos vestidos bizarramente, congregação grande, com escudo e rodela, manejando todos a espada:
And I will turn you around, and I will place a bit in your jaws. And I will lead you away, with all your army, the horses and the horsemen all clothed in armor, a great multitude, equipped with spears and light shields and swords,
5 Persas, ethiopes, e puteos com eles, todos eles com escudo e capacete;
the Persians, the Ethiopians, and the Libyans with them, all with heavy shields and helmets,
6 Gomer e todas as suas tropas, a casa de Togarma, da banda do norte, e todas as suas tropas, muitos povos contigo.
Gomer, and all his companies, the house of Togarmah, the northern parts, and all his strength, and the many peoples with you.
7 Prepara-te, e dispõe-te, tu e todas as tuas congregações que se ajuntaram ao pé de ti, e serve-lhes tu de guarda.
Prepare and equip yourself, with all your multitude which has been assembled to you. And you shall be like a commandment to them.
8 Depois de muitos dias serás visitado: no fim dos anos virás à terra que se retirou da espada, e que foi congregada dentre muitos povos aos montes de Israel, que sempre serviram de assolação; mas aquela terra foi tirada dentre os povos, e todos eles habitarão seguramente.
After many days, you will be visited. At the end of the years, you will arrive at the land which was turned back by the sword, and which has been gathered from many peoples to the mountains of Israel that have been continually abandoned. These ones have been led away from the peoples, and all of them will be living confidently within it.
9 Então subirás, virás como uma tempestade, far-te-ás como uma nuvem para cobrir a terra, tu e todas as tuas tropas, e muitos povos contigo.
But you will ascend and arrive like a tempest and like a cloud, so that you may cover the land, you and all your companies, and the many peoples with you.
10 Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: E será naquele dia que subirão conselhos sobre o teu coração, e maquinarás um mau desígnio,
Thus says the Lord God: In that day, words will climb into your heart, and you will invent a most wicked plan.
11 E dirás: Subirei contra a terra das aldeias, virei contra os que estão em repouso, que habitam seguros; todos eles habitam sem muro, e não tem ferrolho nem portas;
And you will say: ‘I will ascend to the land without a wall. I will go to those who are resting and dwelling securely. All these live without a wall; they have no bars or gates.’
12 Para despojar o despojo, e para roubar o roubo, para tornar a tua mão contra as terras desertas que agora se habitam, e contra o povo que se ajuntou dentre as nações, e já tem gado e possessões, que habita no meio da terra.
Thus, you will plunder spoils, and you will take possession of prey, so that you may lay your hand upon those who had been abandoned, and afterwards were restored, and upon a people who were gathered away from the Gentiles, a people who have begun to possess, and to be the inhabitants of, the navel of the earth.
13 Sheba, e Dedan, e os mercadores de Tarsis, e todos os seus leãozinhos te dirão: Porventura tu vens a despojar o despojo? ou ajuntaste o teu ajuntamento para roubar o roubo? para levar a prata e o ouro, para tomar o gado e possessões, para despojar o grande despojo?
Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, and all its lions will say to you: ‘Could you have arrived in order to purchase from the spoils? Behold, you have gathered your multitude in order to plunder a prey, so that you may take silver and gold, and carry away equipment and substance, and plunder immeasurable wealth.’
14 Portanto, profetiza, ó filho do homem, e dize a Gog: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Porventura não o experimentarás naquele dia, quando o meu povo Israel habitar com segurança?
Because of this, son of man, prophesy, and you shall say to Gog: Thus says the Lord God: How is it that you do not know of that day, when my people, Israel, will be living in confidence?
15 Virás pois do teu lugar, das bandas do norte, tu e muitos povos contigo, montados todos a cavalo, grande ajuntamento, e exército numeroso,
And you will advance from your place, from the parts of the north, you and the many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great assembly and an immense army.
16 E subirás contra o meu povo Israel, como uma nuvem, para cobrir a terra: no fim dos dias sucederá; então te trarei contra a minha terra, para que as nações me conheçam a mim, quando eu me houver santificado em ti aos seus olhos, ó Gog
And you will rise up over my people, Israel, like a cloud, so that you may cover the earth. In the latter days, you will be. And I will lead you over my own land, so that the Gentiles may know me, when I will have been sanctified in you, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah: Porventura não és tu aquele de quem eu disse nos dias antigos, pelo ministério de meus servos, os profetas de Israel, que naqueles dias profetizaram largos anos, que te traria contra eles?
Thus says the Lord God: Therefore, you are the one, about whom I spoke in the days of antiquity, by the hand of my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in the days of those times that I would lead you over them.
18 Sucederá, porém, naquele dia, no dia em que vier Gog contra a terra de Israel, diz o Senhor Jehovah, que a minha indignação subirá a meus narizes.
And this shall be in that day, in the day of the advent of Gog over the land of Israel, says the Lord God: my indignation will rise up in my fury.
19 Porque falei no meu zelo, no fogo do meu furor, que naquele dia haverá grande tremor sobre a terra de Israel;
And I have spoken, in my zeal and in the fire of my wrath, that there shall be a great commotion over the land of Israel, in that day.
20 De tal maneira que tremerão diante da minha face os peixes do mar, e as aves do céu, e os animais do campo, e todos os réptis que se arrastam sobre a terra, e todos os homens que estão sobre a face da terra; e os montes serão deitados abaixo, e os precipícios cairão, e todos os muros cairão à terra.
And before my face there shall be stirred up: the fish of the sea, and the flying things of the air, and the beasts of the field, and every crawling thing that moves across the soil, and all the men who are upon the face of the earth. And the mountains will be overturned, and the hedges will fall, and every wall will fall in ruin to the ground.
21 Porque chamarei sobre ele a espada por todos os meus montes, diz o Senhor Jehovah: a espada de cada um se voltará contra seu irmão.
And I will call for the sword against him on all my mountains, says the Lord God. Each one’s sword will be directed toward his brother.
22 E contenderei com ele pela peste e pelo sangue; e uma chuva inundante, e grandes pedras de saraiva, fogo, e enxofre choverei sobre ele, e sobre as suas tropas, e sobre os muitos povos que estiverem com ele.
And I will judge him by pestilence, and blood, and violent rainstorms, and immense hailstones. I will rain fire and brimstone upon him, and upon his army, and upon the many peoples who are with him.
23 Assim eu me engrandecerei e me santificarei, e me farei conhecer aos olhos de muitas nações; e saberão que eu sou o Senhor.
And I will be magnified and sanctified. And I will be known in the eyes of the many nations. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
