Ezequiel 38
1 E veio a mim a palavra do SENHOR, dizendo:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
2 Filho do homem, dirige teu rosto contra Gogue, da terra de Magogue, príncipe-chefe de Meseque e Tubal, e profetiza contra ele.
“You human, turn and face Magog, the country where Gog [is the king]. He is [also] the ruler of [the nations of] Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy about [the terrible things that will happen to] him,
3 E dize: Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que eu sou contra ti, ó Gogue, príncipe-chefe de Meseque e de Tubal.
and say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Gog, you who rule Meshech and Tubal, I am opposed to you.
4 E eu te farei virar, e porei anzóis em tuas queixos, e te levarei com todo o teu exército, cavalos e cavaleiros, todos eles vestidos com armadura completa, uma grande multidão com escudos pequenos e grandes, todos eles manejando espada;
[It will be as though] I will turn you around and put hooks in your jaws and bring you [to Israel]—you and all of your army, [including your] horses and men carrying weapons who ride the horses, and many other soldiers carrying large shields and small shields, all of them carrying swords.
5 Persas, cuxitas, e os de Pute com eles; todos eles [com] escudo e capacete;
[Armies from] Persia, Ethiopia, and Put/Libya will also come, all of them with shields and helmets.
6 Gômer, e todas as suas tropas; a casa de Togarma, dos lados do norte, e todas as suas tropas; muitos povos contigo.
An army from Gomer [north of Israel] will come, and an army from Togarmah far north [of Israel] will come. Armies of many nations will accompany you.’
7 Prepara-te, e apronta-te, tu, e toda as tuas multidões que se juntaram a ti, e sê tu guardião delas.
[Tell Gog, ] ‘Get ready and be prepared to be the commander of all those groups of soldiers.
8 Depois de muitos dias serás tu visitado; ao fim de anos virás à terra que foi restaurada da espada, ajuntada de muitos povos, aos montes de Israel, que sempre serviram de assolação; mas aquele [povo] foi trazido das nações, e todos eles habitarão em segurança.
At some future time, I will command you to lead those armies to attack [Israel], a country whose [buildings] have been rebuilt after [they were destroyed in] wars. Their people will have been brought back from many nations [to live again] on the hills of Israel, which had been deserted for a long time. They had been brought back from [other] nations and will be living peacefully.
9 Então tu subirás, virás como uma tempestade devastadora; serás como nuvem para cobrir a terra, tu, todas as tuas tropas, e muitos povos contigo.
You and all those armies from many nations will go up to Israel, advancing like [SIM] a big storm. Your army will be like a huge cloud that covers the land.
10 Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: E será naquele dia, que subirão palavras em teu coração, e pensarás mau pensamento;
But this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: On that day, you will have an idea about [DOU] doing an evil thing.
11 E dirás: Subirei contra terra das aldeias sem muros, virei contra os que estão em repouso, que habitam em segurança, todos eles habitam sem muros, não têm ferrolhos nem portas;
You will say [to yourself], “My [army] will invade a country where the villages do not have walls around them. We will attack people who are peaceful and do not suspect/think [that they will be attacked]. Their towns and villages do not have walls with gates and bars.
12 Para tomar despojo e para saquear presa; para virar tua mão contra as terras desertas [que agora] estão habitadas, e contra o povo que foi ajuntado das nações, que é dono de gados e de posses, que mora no meio da terra.
So [it will be easy for] us to attack the people who are living again in those towns that were previously destroyed. They are people who have been gathered from many countries [where they had lived for many years], people who now live safely in their land with all their livestock and other possessions. They are living in the country that is in the middle of the most important countries (OR, [that they think is] [IRO] the most important country) in the world. Our soldiers will take away [DOU] all their valuable possessions.”
13 Seba, Dedã, os mercadores de Társis, e todos seus filhotes de leões te dirão: Por acaso vens para tomar despojos? Reuniste tua multidão para saquear presa, para lavar prata e ouro, para tomar gados e posses, para tomar grandes despojos?
[Then people of] Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and nearby villages will come and say to you, “Are you gathering all your soldiers in order to [attack Israel and] take away all their silver and gold? [Do you plan] to take away their livestock and all their other valuable possessions [DOU]?”’
14 Portanto profetiza, ó filho do homem, e dize a Gogue: Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Por acaso naquele dia, quando meu povo Israel habitar em segurança, tu não o reconhecerás?
Therefore, you human, prophesy about Gog and say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: At that time, when my people of Israel are living safely, you will certainly think about that.
15 Virás, pois, de teu lugar, das regiões do norte, tu e muitos povos contigo, todos eles a cavalo, uma grande reunião, e imenso exército;
So you will come from your place far north [of Israel], with the armies of many [other] nations, all riding horses, a huge army.
16 E subirás contra meu povo Israel como uma nuvem para cobrir a terra; [isto] será no fim dos dias; então eu te trarei contra minha terra, para que as nações me conheçam, quando eu houver me santificado em ti, ó Gogue, diante de seus olhos.
You will march toward my Israeli people, and [your soldiers] will cover the land like a huge cloud. Gog, I will bring your army to attack the country that belongs to me, but [what I do] for you will show the people of other nations that I am holy.
17 Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Não és tu aquele de quem eu disse nos tempos passados, por meio dos meus servos, os profetas de Israel, que naqueles dias profetizaram [vários] anos que eu te traria contra eles?
This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say to Gog: In past years, when I gave messages to my servants, the prophets [in Israel], there were messages [RHQ] about you. At that time, they prophesied for [many] years that I would bring your [armies] to attack my people.
18 Porém será naquele tempo, quando Gogue vier contra a terra de Israel, diz o Senhor DEUS, que minha fúria subirá ao meu rosto.
[So] this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say will happen: When your [army] attacks Israel, I will be very angry with you.
19 Porque falei em meu zelo, no fogo de minha ira, que naquele dia haverá grande tremor sobre a terra de Israel;
I will be very furious, and to show that I am angry, there will be a great earthquake in Israel, [where your armies will be].
20 [De tal maneira] que diante de mim tremerão os peixes do mar, as aves do céu, os animais do campo, todos os répteis andam se arrastrando sobre a terra, e todos os seres humanos que estão sobre a face da terra; e os montes serão derrubados, os precipícios cairão, e todos os muros cairão por terra.
The fish in the sea, the birds, the wild animals, and the animals/creatures that crawl on the ground, and all the people on the earth will tremble because of what I [am doing]. Mountains will fall down, cliffs will crumble, and walls everywhere will fall to the ground.
21 Pois chamarei contra ele a espada em todos os meus montes, diz o Senhor DEUS; a espada de cada um será contra seu irmão.
Gog, on all the mountains in the country that belongs to me I will cause your soldiers to fight against each other with their swords.
22 E disputarei contra ele com pestilência e com sangue; e farei haver uma grande pancada de chuva, grandes pedras de granizo, fogo e enxofre sobre ele, sobre suas tropas, e sobre os muitos povos que estiverem com ele.
I will punish [MTY] you [and your soldiers] with plagues and murders [MTY]. And I will send down [from the sky], on you and your troops that have come from many nations, huge amounts of rain and hail and burning sulfur.
23 Assim me engrandecerei e me santificarei, e serei conhecido em olhos de muitas nações; e saberão que eu sou o SENHOR.
By doing that, I will cause [the people of] many nations to know that I am very great and holy, and they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do the things that I say that I will do].’”
