Ezequiel 38
1 La palabra de Yahvé vino a mí, diciendo:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
2 “Hijo de hombre, pon tu rostro hacia Gog, de la tierra de Magog, el príncipe de Rosh, Meshech y Tubal, y profetiza contra él,
“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 y di: “El Señor Yahvé dice: “He aquí que yo estoy contra ti, Gog, príncipe de Rosh, Meshech y Tubal.
and say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Gog, you who rule Meshech and Tubal, I am opposed to you.
4 Te haré girar y pondré garfios en tus mandíbulas, y te sacaré con todo tu ejército, caballos y jinetes, todos vestidos con armadura completa, una gran compañía con escudo y hebilla, todos manejando espadas;
[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 Persia, Cus y Put con ellos, todos con escudo y casco;
[Armies from] Persia, Ethiopia, and Put/Libya will also come, all of them with shields and helmets.
6 Gomer y todas sus hordas; la casa de Togarma en los confines del norte, y todas sus hordas; incluso muchos pueblos 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 “‘“Prepárate, sí, prepárate tú, y todas tus compañías que se reúnen contigo, y sé un guardia para ellos.
[Tell Gog, ] ‘Get ready and be prepared to be the commander of all those groups of soldiers.
8 Después de muchos días serás visitado. En los últimos años vendrás a la tierra que ha sido devuelta de la espada, que ha sido reunida de entre muchos pueblos, en los montes de Israel, que han sido un continuo despojo; pero ha sido sacada de entre los pueblos, y todos ellos habitarán con seguridad.
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 Ascenderás. Vendrás como una tormenta. Serás como una nube que cubrirá la tierra, tú y todas tus hordas, y muchos pueblos 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 “‘El Señor Yahvé dice: “Sucederá en ese día que vendrán cosas a tu mente, y concebirás un plan malvado.
But this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: On that day, you will have an idea about [DOU] doing an evil thing.
11 Dirás: ‘Subiré a la tierra de las aldeas sin muros. Iré a los que están en reposo, a los que habitan con seguridad, a todos los que habitan sin muros, y que no tienen ni rejas ni puertas,
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 el botín y hacer presa; para volver tu mano contra los lugares despoblados que están habitados, y contra el pueblo que se ha reunido de las naciones, que ha conseguido ganado y bienes, que habita en medio de la tierra.’
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 Saba, Dedán y los mercaderes de Tarsis, con todos sus leones jóvenes, te preguntarán: ‘¿Has venido a tomar el botín? ¿Habéis reunido vuestra compañía para tomar la presa, para llevaros la plata y el oro, para llevaros el ganado y los bienes, para llevaros un gran botín?’”
[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 “Por tanto, hijo de hombre, profetiza y dile a Gog: “El Señor Yahvé dice: “En aquel día en que mi pueblo Israel habite con seguridad, ¿no lo sabrás tú?
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 Vendrás de tu lugar, de los confines del norte, tú y muchos pueblos contigo, todos ellos montados a caballo, una gran compañía y un poderoso ejército.
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 Subirás contra mi pueblo Israel como una nube para cubrir la tierra. Sucederá en los últimos días que te traeré contra mi tierra, para que las naciones me conozcan cuando me santifique en ti, Gog, ante sus ojos.”
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 “‘Dice el Señor Yahvé: “¿Eres tú aquel de quien hablé en tiempos pasados por medio de mis siervos los profetas de Israel, que profetizaron en aquellos días durante años que te llevaría contra ellos?
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 Sucederá en aquel día, cuando Gog venga contra la tierra de Israel — dice el Señor Yahvé — que mi ira subirá a mi nariz.
[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 en mi celo y en el fuego de mi ira he hablado. Ciertamente en ese día habrá un gran temblor en la tierra 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 modo que los peces del mar, las aves del cielo, los animales del campo, todos los reptiles que se arrastran sobre la tierra y todos los hombres que están sobre la superficie de la tierra se estremecerán ante mi presencia. Entonces los montes se derrumbarán, los lugares escarpados caerán, y todo muro se derrumbará.
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 Llamaré a la espada contra él a todos mis montes”, dice el Señor Yahvé. “La espada de cada hombre será contra su hermano.
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 Entraré en juicio con él con pestilencia y con sangre. Haré llover sobre él, sobre sus hordas y sobre los muchos pueblos que lo acompañan, lluvias torrenciales con grandes piedras de granizo, fuego y azufre.
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 Me engrandeceré y me santificaré, y me daré a conocer a los ojos de muchas naciones. Entonces sabrán que yo soy Yahvé”.
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].’”
