Ezekiel 38

1 Ọrọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:

Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,

2 “Ọmọ ènìyàn, kọ ojú rẹ sí Gogu, ti ilẹ̀ Magogu; olórí ọmọ-aládé, Meṣeki, àti Tubali sọtẹ́lẹ̀ ní ìlòdì sí i

“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 kí ó sì wí pé, ‘Èyí yìí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Èmi lòdì sí ọ, ìwọ Gogu, olórí ọmọ-aládé, Meṣeki àti Tubali.

and say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Gog, you who rule Meshech and Tubal, I am opposed to you.

4 Èmi yóò yí ọ kiri, èmi yóò sì fi ìwọ̀ kọ́ ọ ní ẹnu, èmi yóò sì fà ọ́ jáde pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọmọ-ogun rẹ, àwọn ẹṣin àti àwọn agẹṣinjagun nínú ìhámọ́ra, àti ìpéjọ ńlá pẹ̀lú asà ogun ńlá àti kéékèèké, gbogbo wọn ń fi idà wọn.

[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, Kuṣi àti Puti yóò wà pẹ̀lú wọn, gbogbo wọn yóò wà pẹ̀lú asà àti ìṣíborí wọn

[Armies from] Persia, Ethiopia, and Put/Libya will also come, all of them with shields and helmets.

6 Gomeri náà pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀, àti Beti-Togarma láti jìnnàjìnnà àríwá pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ọ̀wọ́ ogun rẹ̀—ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.

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 “‘Múra sílẹ̀, múra tán, kí ìwọ àti gbogbo ìjọ náà péjọpọ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ, kí o sì pàṣẹ fún wọn.

[Tell Gog, ] ‘Get ready and be prepared to be the commander of all those groups of soldiers.

8 Lẹ́yìn ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọjọ́, àwa yóò bẹ̀ ọ wò; ní ọdún ìkẹyìn ìwọ yóò dó ti ilẹ̀ tí a ti gbà padà lọ́wọ́ idà, tí àwọn ènìyàn wọn kórajọ pọ̀ láti ọ̀pọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè sí àwọn òkè gíga ti Israẹli, tí ó ti di ahoro fún ìgbà pípẹ́. A ti mú wọn jáde láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, nísinsin yìí gbogbo wọn ń gbé ní àìléwu.

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 Ìwọ àti ọ̀wọ́ ogun rẹ àti ọ̀pọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè pẹ̀lú rẹ yóò gòkè, ẹ̀yin yóò tẹ̀síwájú bí ìjì; ìwọ yóò dàbí ìkùùkuu tí ó bo ilẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀.

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 “‘Èyí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Ní ọjọ́ náà èrò kan yóò wá sọ́kàn rẹ, ìwọ yóò sì pète ìlànà búburú.

But this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: On that day, you will have an idea about [DOU] doing an evil thing.

11 Ìwọ yóò wí pé, “Èmi yóò gbé ogun ti ilẹ̀ àwọn tí a kò fi odi yíká, Èmi yóò gbé ogun ti àwọn ènìyàn àlàáfíà tí a kò funra sí gbogbo wọn ń gbé ní àìsí odi, ní àìsí ẹnu-ọ̀nà òde àti àsígbè-irin.

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 Èmi yóò mú ohun ọdẹ, èmi yóò sì kó ìkógun, èmi yóò sì yí ọwọ́ mi padà sí ibi ìwólulẹ̀ ti a ti tún kọ́, àwọn ènìyàn tí a kójọpọ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, tí ó ní ọrọ̀ nínú ẹran ọ̀sìn àti ẹrú, tí ó ń gbé ní àárín gbùngbùn ilẹ̀ náà.”

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 Ṣeba, Dedani àti àwọn oníṣòwò Tarṣiṣi àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọ kìnnìún wọn, yóò sọ fún un yín pé, “Ṣé ẹ̀yin wá fún ìkógun? Ṣé ẹ̀yin ti kó àwọn ogun yín jọ pọ̀ fún ìkógun, láti kó fàdákà àti wúrà lọ, láti kó ẹran ọ̀sìn àti ẹrú àti láti gba ọ̀pọ̀ ìkógun?”’”

[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 “Nítorí náà, ọmọ ènìyàn, sọtẹ́lẹ̀ kí ó sì sọ fún Gogu: ‘Èyí yìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Ní ọjọ́ náà, nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn mi Israẹli ń gbé ní àìléwu, ìwọ kì yóò ha ṣe àkíyèsí rẹ̀?

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 Ìwọ yóò wá láti ààyè rẹ ní jìnnàjìnnà àríwá, ìwọ àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè pẹ̀lú rẹ, gbogbo wọn yóò sì gun ẹṣin ẹgbẹ́ ńlá, jagunjagun alágbára.

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 Ìwọ yóò tẹ̀síwájú ní ìlòdì sí àwọn Israẹli ènìyàn mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìkùùkuu tí ó bo ilẹ̀. Ni àwọn ọjọ́ tí ń bọ̀, ìwọ Gogu, èmi yóò mú ọ wá ní ìlòdì sí ilẹ̀ mi, kí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè lè mọ̀ mi nígbà tí mo bá fi ara hàn ni mímọ́ láti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ ní ojú wọn.

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 “‘Èyí yìí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí: Ìwọ ha kọ́ ni mo sọ̀rọ̀ nípa rẹ̀ ní ìgbà ìṣáájú láti ẹnu àwọn wòlíì ìránṣẹ́ mi ti Israẹli? Ní ìgbà náà wọ́n sọtẹ́lẹ̀ fún ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọdún pé èmi yóò mú ọ lòdì sí wọn.

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 Èyí ni ohun tí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ náà, nígbà tí Gogu bá kọlu ilẹ̀ Israẹli, gbígbóná ìbínú mi yóò ru sókè, ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.

[So] this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say will happen: When your [army] attacks Israel, I will be very angry with you.

19 Ní ìtara mi àti ní gbígbóná ìbínú mi, mo tẹnumọ́ ọn pé; ní àsìkò náà ilẹ̀ mímì tí ó lágbára ní ilẹ̀ Israẹli yóò ṣẹlẹ̀.

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 Ẹja inú Òkun, àwọn ẹyẹ òfúrufú, àwọn ẹranko igbó, àti gbogbo ẹ̀dá tí ó ń rìn lórí ilẹ̀ yóò wárìrì fún ìfarahàn mi. A yóò yí òkè gíga po, àwọn bèbè òkúta ni àwa yóò fọ́ sí wẹ́wẹ́, gbogbo ògiri ni yóò wó palẹ̀.

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 Èmi yóò fa idà yọ ni ìlòdì sí Gogu ní orí gbogbo àwọn òkè gíga mi ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí. Idà gbogbo ènìyàn yóò lòdì sí arákùnrin rẹ̀.

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 Èmi yóò gbé ìdájọ́ mi jáde lórí rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ìyọnu àti ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀, Èmi yóò dá àgbàrá òjò, òkúta yìnyín àti imí-ọjọ́ tí ń jó lé e lórí àti lórí ọ̀wọ́ ogun àti lórí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.

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 Nítorí náà, Èmi yóò fi títóbi mi àti ìjẹ́-mímọ́ mi hàn, Èmi yóò sì fi ara mi hàn ní ojú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè. Nígbà náà ni wọn yóò mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa.’

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].’”
