Jezekilj 38
1 Opet mi doðe rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Sine èovjeèji, okreni lice svoje prema Gogu u zemlji Magogu, knezu i glavi u Mesehu i Tuvalu, i prorokuj na nj;
“Son of man, face towards Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him
3 I reci: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: evo me na tebe, Gože, kneže i glavo Mesehu i Tuvalu;
and declare that this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, I am condemning you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
4 I vratiæu te natrag, i metnuæu ti žvale u èeljusti, i izvešæu tebe i svu vojsku tvoju, konje i konjike, sve dobro odjevene, zbor veliki sa štitovima i štitiæima, sve koji maèem mašu,
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 S njima Persijance, Etiopljane i Puteje, sve sa štitovima i pod šljemovima,
Soldiers from Persia, Cush, and Put will join them, all equipped with shields and helmets,
6 Gomera i sve èete njegove, dom Togarmin sa sjevernoga kraja i sve èete njegove, mnoge narode s tobom.
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 Pripravi se i spremi se ti i sve ljudstvo tvoje, što se sabralo kod tebe, i budi im stražar.
Get ready! Make sure you and your whole army with you is prepared. You're the one in charge of them.
8 Poslije mnogo vremena biæeš pohoðen, i pošljednjih godina doæi æeš u zemlju izbavljenu od maèa i sabranu iz mnogih naroda, u gore Izrailjeve, koje bjehu jednako puste, a oni æe izvedeni iz naroda svi živjeti bez straha.
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 I podignuæeš se, i doæi æeš kao bura, biæeš kao oblak da pokriješ zemlju ti i sve èete tvoje i mnogi narodi s tobom.
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 Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: i tada æe ti doæi u srce stvari, i smišljaæeš zle misli.
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 I reæi æeš: idem na zemlju gdje su sela, i udariæu na mirni narod koji živi bez straha, koji svi žive u mjestima bez zidova i nemaju ni prijevornica ni vrata,
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 Da naplijeniš plijena i nagrabiš grabeža, da posegneš rukom svojom na pustinje naseljene i na narod sabrani iz naroda, koji se bavi stokom i imanjem, i živi usred zemlje.
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 Sava i Dedan i trgovci Tarsiski i svi laviæi njegovi kazaæe ti: jesi li došao da plijeniš plijen? jesi li skupio ljudstvo svoje da grabiš grabež? da odneseš srebro i zlato, da uzmeš stoku i trg, da naplijeniš mnogo plijena?
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 Zato prorokuj, sine èovjeèji, i reci Gogu: ovako veli Gospod Gospod: u ono vrijeme, kad æe moj narod Izrailj živjeti bez straha, neæeš li znati?
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 I doæi æeš iz svoga mjesta, sa sjevernoga kraja, ti i mnogi narodi s tobom, svi jašuæi na konjma, mnoštvo veliko i vojska velika.
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 I podignuæeš se na moj narod Izrailja kao oblak da pokriješ zemlju; u pošljednje vrijeme dovešæu te na zemlju svoju da me poznadu narodi kad se posvetim u tebi pred njima, Gože!
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 Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: nijesi li ti onaj o kom govorih u staro vrijeme preko sluga svojih, proroka Izrailjevijeh, koji prorokovaše u ono vrijeme godinama da æu te dovesti na njih.
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 A kad doðe Gog na zemlju Izrailjevu, govori Gospod Gospod, onda æe se podignuti jarost moja u gnjevu mom.
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 I u revnosti svojoj, u ognju gnjeva svojega govoriæu: doista, tada æe biti drhat veliki u zemlji Izrailjevoj.
In my passionate, furious anger I announce that at that time a violent earthquake will hit of the country of Israel.
20 I ribe morske i ptice nebeske i zvijeri poljske i sve što gamiže po zemlji, i svi ljudi po zemlji zadrhtaæe od mene, i gore æe se razvaliti i vrleti popadati, i svi æe zidovi popadati na zemlju.
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 I dozvaæu na nj maè po svijem gorama svojim, govori Gospod Gospod: maè æe se svakoga obratiti na brata njegova.
I will call for an attack on Gog from all my mountains, declares the Lord God. Everyone will attack his brother with sword.
22 I sudiæu mu pomorom i krvlju; i pustiæu na nj i na èete njegove i na mnoge narode, koji budu s njim, silan dažd, kamenje od grada, oganj i sumpor.
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 I proslaviæu se i posvetiæu se i biæu poznat pred mnogim narodima, i poznaæe da sam ja Gospod.
I will demonstrate my true power and holiness, revealing myself to many nations. Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
