Ezequiel 38

1 La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2 Hijo de hombre, levanta tu rostro hacia Gog en tierra de Magog, jefe soberano de Mesec y Tubal, y profetiza contra él:

“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 ʼAdonay Yavé dice: ¡Oh Gog, jefe soberano de Mesec y Tubal, ciertamente Yo estoy contra ti!

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 Te devolveré y pondré garfios en tus quijadas. Te sacaré con todo tu ejército, caballos y jinetes, todos ellos con ropas espléndidas, gran número con escudos oblongos que cubren casi todo el cuerpo y escudos defensivos. Todos ellos portan espadas.

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 Persia, Cus y Fut están con ellos, todos con escudos y yelmos,

the Persians, the Ethiopians, and the Libyans with them, all with heavy shields and helmets,

6 Gomer y todas sus tropas, la casa de Togarma de los confines del norte, con todas sus tropas, y muchos otros pueblos.

Gomer, and all his companies, the house of Togarmah, the northern parts, and all his strength, and the many peoples with you.

7 Alístate y prepárate, tú y toda tu tropa que se congregó. Sé tú su caudillo.

Prepare and equip yourself, with all your multitude which has been assembled to you. And you shall be like a commandment to them.

8 Después de muchos días recibirás órdenes. Al fin de los años vendrás a la tierra salvada de la espada, [a gente] recogida de muchos pueblos, a las montañas de Israel que fueron una desolación. Pero fue sacada de las naciones y todos viven confiadamente.

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 Pero tú te levantarás como una tempestad. Tú, con todas tus tropas y muchos pueblos contigo, serás como una nube que cubre la tierra.

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 ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Aquel día llegarán pensamientos a tu mente, diseñarás un plan perverso:

Thus says the Lord God: In that day, words will climb into your heart, and you will invent a most wicked plan.

11 Subiré contra la tierra de pueblos sin muros. Iré contra gentes tranquilas que viven confiadas sin muros, sin cerrojos y sin puertas.

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 Iré para arrebatar despojos y tomar botín. Irás para poner tu mano sobre tierras solitarias ya pobladas y el pueblo recogido de entre las naciones que tiene ganado y posesiones, y vive en el centro de la tierra.

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 Sabá, Dedán, los mercaderes de Tarsis y todos sus jefes te preguntarán: ¿Llegaste a arrebatar despojos? ¿Reclutaste tu milicia para atrapar botín, para robar plata y oro, para tomar ganados y posesiones y tomar grandes despojos?

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 Por tanto hijo de hombre, profetiza y dile a Gog: ʼAdonay Yavé dice: En aquel día, cuando mi pueblo Israel viva confiadamente, ¿no lo sabrás tú?

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 Vendrás de tu lugar de las regiones del norte, tú y muchos pueblos contigo, todos ellos a caballo, gran multitud y ejército poderoso.

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 Subirás contra mi pueblo Israel como una nube para cubrir la tierra. Ocurrirá en los últimos días. Yo te traeré contra mi tierra, para que las naciones me conozcan cuando Yo, oh Gog, sea santificado en ti a la vista de ellas.

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 ʼAdonay Yavé dice: ¿Eres tú aquél de quien hablé en tiempo antiguo por medio de mis esclavos profetas de Israel, quienes profetizaron que Yo te traería contra ellos?

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 En aquel tiempo, cuando venga Gog contra la tierra de Israel, dice ʼAdonay Yavé, acontecerá que se levantará mi furor y mi ira.

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 en mi celo y en mi ardiente furor predije que ciertamente en aquel tiempo habrá un gran terremoto en la tierra 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 modo que los peces del mar, las aves del cielo, las bestias del campo, todo lo que repta sobre la tierra y todos los hombres que están sobre la superficie de la tierra, temblarán ante mi Presencia. Las montañas también serán derribadas, los cercos de tierra apisonada caerán y todo muro caerá a tierra.

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 Yo llamaré a la espada contra él en todas mis montañas, dice ʼAdonay Yavé. La espada de cada uno se levantará contra su hermano.

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 Yo entraré a juicio contra él con pestilencia y sangre. Caerá una lluvia torrencial, piedras de granizo, fuego y azufre sobre él, sus tropas y los numerosos pueblos que están con él.

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 Seré engrandecido y santificado. Seré conocido ante los ojos de muchas naciones y sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.

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.”
