حِزْقِيَال 38

١ 1 وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا:

A message from the Lord came to me, saying,

٢ 2 «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱجْعَلْ وَجْهَكَ عَلَى جُوجٍ، أَرْضِ مَاجُوجَ رَئِيسِ رُوشٍ مَاشِكَ وَتُوبَالَ، وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِ

“Son of man, face towards Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him

٣ 3 وَقُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا عَلَيْكَ يَا جُوجُ رَئِيسُ رُوشٍ مَاشِكَ وَتُوبَالَ.

and declare that this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, I am condemning you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.

٤ 4 وَأُرْجِعُكَ، وَأَضَعُ شَكَائِمَ فِي فَكَّيْكَ، وَأُخْرِجُكَ أَنْتَ وَكُلَّ جَيْشِكَ خَيْلًا وَفُرْسَانًا كُلَّهُمْ لَابِسِينَ أَفْخَرَ لِبَاسٍ، جَمَاعَةً عَظِيمَةً مَعَ أَتْرَاسٍ وَمَجَانَّ، كُلَّهُمْ مُمْسِكِينَ ٱلسُّيُوفَ.

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.

٥ 5 فَارِسَ وَكُوشَ وَفُوطَ مَعَهُمْ، كُلَّهُمْ بِمِجَنٍّ وَخُوذَةٍ،

Soldiers from Persia, Cush, and Put will join them, all equipped with shields and helmets,

٦ 6 وَجُومَرَ وَكُلَّ جُيُوشِهِ، وَبَيْتَ تُوجَرْمَةَ مِنْ أَقَاصِي ٱلشِّمَالِ مَعَ كُلِّ جَيْشِهِ، شُعُوبًا كَثِيرِينَ مَعَكَ.

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.

٧ 7 اِسْتَعِدَّ وَهَيِّئْ لِنَفْسِكَ أَنْتَ وَكُلُّ جَمَاعَاتِكَ ٱلْمُجْتَمِعَةِ إِلَيْكَ، فَصِرْتَ لَهُمْ مُوَقَّرًا.

Get ready! Make sure you and your whole army with you is prepared. You're the one in charge of them.

٨ 8 بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ كَثِيرَةٍ تُفْتَقَدُ. فِي ٱلسِّنِينَ ٱلْأَخِيرَةِ تَأْتِي إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْمُسْتَرَدَّةِ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْفِ ٱلْمَجْمُوعَةِ مِنْ شُعُوبٍ كَثِيرَةٍ عَلَى جِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ دَائِمَةً خَرِبَةً، لِلَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا مِنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ وَسَكَنُوا آمِنِينَ كُلُّهُمْ.

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.

٩ 9 وَتَصْعَدُ وَتَأْتِي كَزَوْبَعَةٍ، وَتَكُونُ كَسَحَابَةٍ تُغَشِّي ٱلْأَرْضَ أَنْتَ وَكُلُّ جُيُوشِكَ وَشُعُوبٌ كَثِيرُونَ مَعَكَ.

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.

١٠ 10 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَّ أُمُورًا تَخْطُرُ بِبَالِكَ فَتُفَكِّرُ فِكْرًا رَدِيئًا،

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.

١١ 11 وَتَقُولُ: إِنِّي أَصْعَدُ عَلَى أَرْضٍ أَعْرَاءٍ. آتِي ٱلْهَادِئِينَ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي أَمْنٍ، كُلُّهُمْ سَاكِنُونَ بِغَيْرِ سُورٍ وَلَيْسَ لَهُمْ عَارِضَةٌ وَلَا مَصَارِيعُ،

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.

١٢ 12 لِسَلْبِ ٱلسَّلْبِ وَلِغُنْمِ ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ، لِرَدِّ يَدِكَ عَلَى خِرَبٍ مَعْمُورَةٍ وَعَلَى شَعْبٍ مَجْمُوعٍ مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، ٱلْمُقْتَنِي مَاشِيَةً وَقُنْيَةً، ٱلسَّاكِنُ فِي أَعَالِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.

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.’

١٣ 13 شَبَا وَدَدَانُ وَتُجَّارُ تَرْشِيشَ وَكُلُّ أَشْبَالِهَا يَقُولُونَ لَكَ: هَلْ لِسَلْبِ سَلْبٍ أَنْتَ جَاءٍ؟ هَلْ لِغُنْمِ غَنِيمَةٍ جَمَعْتَ جَمَاعَتَكَ، لِحَمْلِ ٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ، لِأَخْذِ ٱلْمَاشِيَةِ وَٱلْقُنْيَةِ، لِنَهْبِ نَهْبٍ عَظِيمٍ؟

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?’

١٤ 14 «لِذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأْ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، وَقُلْ لِجُوجٍ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ عِنْدَ سُكْنَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ آمِنِينَ، أَفَلَا تَعْلَمُ؟

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?

١٥ 15 وَتَأْتِي مِنْ مَوْضِعِكَ مِنْ أَقَاصِي ٱلشِّمَالِ أَنْتَ وَشُعُوبٌ كَثِيرُونَ مَعَكَ، كُلُّهُمْ رَاكِبُونَ خَيْلًا، جَمَاعَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ وَجَيْشٌ كَثِيرٌ.

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.

١٦ 16 وَتَصْعَدُ عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَسَحَابَةٍ تُغَشِّي ٱلْأَرْضَ. فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْأَخِيرَةِ يَكُونُ. وَآتِي بِكَ عَلَى أَرْضِي لِكَيْ تَعْرِفَنِي ٱلْأُمَمُ، حِينَ أَتَقَدَّسُ فِيكَ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِهِمْ يَاجُوجُ.

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.

١٧ 17 «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَلْ أَنْتَ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمْتُ عَنْهُ فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْقَدِيمَةِ عَنْ يَدِ عَبِيدِي أَنْبِيَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱلَّذِينَ تَنَبَّأُوا فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ سِنِينًا أَنْ آتِيَ بِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ؟

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?

١٨ 18 وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَوْمَ مَجِيءِ جُوجٍ عَلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَنَّ غَضَبِي يَصْعَدُ فِي أَنْفِي.

Now on that day, the day when Gog comes to attack the country of Israel, I will become very angry, declares the Lord God.

١٩ 19 وَفِي غَيْرَتِي، فِي نَارِ سَخَطِي تَكَلَّمْتُ، أَنَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يَكُونُ رَعْشٌ عَظِيمٌ فِي أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

In my passionate, furious anger I announce that at that time a violent earthquake will hit of the country of Israel.

٢٠ 20 فَتَرْعَشُ أَمَامِي سَمَكُ ٱلْبَحْرِ وَطُيُورُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَوُحُوشُ ٱلْحَقْلِ وَٱلدَّابَّاتُ ٱلَّتِي تَدُبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَكُلُّ ٱلنَّاسِ ٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَتَنْدَكُّ ٱلْجِبَالُ وَتَسْقُطُ ٱلْمَعَاقِلُ وَتَسْقُطُ كُلُّ ٱلْأَسْوَارِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

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.

٢١ 21 وَأَسْتَدْعِي ٱلسَّيْفَ عَلَيْهِ فِي كُلِّ جِبَالِي، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، فَيَكُونُ سَيْفُ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى أَخِيهِ.

I will call for an attack on Gog from all my mountains, declares the Lord God. Everyone will attack his brother with sword.

٢٢ 22 وَأُعَاقِبُهُ بِٱلْوَبَإِ وَبِالدَّمِ، وَأُمْطِرُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى جَيْشِهِ وَعَلَى ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ مَطَرًا جَارِفًا وَحِجَارَةَ بَرَدٍ عَظِيمَةً وَنَارًا وَكِبْرِيتًا.

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.

٢٣ 23 فَأَتَعَظَّمُ وَأَتَقَدَّسُ وَأُعْرَفُ فِي عُيُونِ أُمَمٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ.

I will demonstrate my true power and holiness, revealing myself to many nations. Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
