حِزْقِيَال 38
| وَكَانَ إِلَيَّ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
| «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، ٱجْعَلْ وَجْهَكَ عَلَى جُوجٍ، أَرْضِ مَاجُوجَ رَئِيسِ رُوشٍ مَاشِكَ وَتُوبَالَ، وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِ | ٢ 2 |
“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,
| وَقُلْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا عَلَيْكَ يَا جُوجُ رَئِيسُ رُوشٍ مَاشِكَ وَتُوبَالَ. | ٣ 3 |
and say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Gog, you who rule Meshech and Tubal, I am opposed to you.
| وَأُرْجِعُكَ، وَأَضَعُ شَكَائِمَ فِي فَكَّيْكَ، وَأُخْرِجُكَ أَنْتَ وَكُلَّ جَيْشِكَ خَيْلًا وَفُرْسَانًا كُلَّهُمْ لَابِسِينَ أَفْخَرَ لِبَاسٍ، جَمَاعَةً عَظِيمَةً مَعَ أَتْرَاسٍ وَمَجَانَّ، كُلَّهُمْ مُمْسِكِينَ ٱلسُّيُوفَ. | ٤ 4 |
[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.
| فَارِسَ وَكُوشَ وَفُوطَ مَعَهُمْ، كُلَّهُمْ بِمِجَنٍّ وَخُوذَةٍ، | ٥ 5 |
[Armies from] Persia, Ethiopia, and Put/Libya will also come, all of them with shields and helmets.
| وَجُومَرَ وَكُلَّ جُيُوشِهِ، وَبَيْتَ تُوجَرْمَةَ مِنْ أَقَاصِي ٱلشِّمَالِ مَعَ كُلِّ جَيْشِهِ، شُعُوبًا كَثِيرِينَ مَعَكَ. | ٦ 6 |
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.’
| اِسْتَعِدَّ وَهَيِّئْ لِنَفْسِكَ أَنْتَ وَكُلُّ جَمَاعَاتِكَ ٱلْمُجْتَمِعَةِ إِلَيْكَ، فَصِرْتَ لَهُمْ مُوَقَّرًا. | ٧ 7 |
[Tell Gog, ] ‘Get ready and be prepared to be the commander of all those groups of soldiers.
| 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. | ٨ 8 |
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.
| وَتَصْعَدُ وَتَأْتِي كَزَوْبَعَةٍ، وَتَكُونُ كَسَحَابَةٍ تُغَشِّي ٱلْأَرْضَ أَنْتَ وَكُلُّ جُيُوشِكَ وَشُعُوبٌ كَثِيرُونَ مَعَكَ. | ٩ 9 |
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.
| هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَّ أُمُورًا تَخْطُرُ بِبَالِكَ فَتُفَكِّرُ فِكْرًا رَدِيئًا، | ١٠ 10 |
But this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: On that day, you will have an idea about [DOU] doing an evil thing.
| وَتَقُولُ: إِنِّي أَصْعَدُ عَلَى أَرْضٍ أَعْرَاءٍ. آتِي ٱلْهَادِئِينَ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي أَمْنٍ، كُلُّهُمْ سَاكِنُونَ بِغَيْرِ سُورٍ وَلَيْسَ لَهُمْ عَارِضَةٌ وَلَا مَصَارِيعُ، | ١١ 11 |
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.
| لِسَلْبِ ٱلسَّلْبِ وَلِغُنْمِ ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ، لِرَدِّ يَدِكَ عَلَى خِرَبٍ مَعْمُورَةٍ وَعَلَى شَعْبٍ مَجْمُوعٍ مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، ٱلْمُقْتَنِي مَاشِيَةً وَقُنْيَةً، ٱلسَّاكِنُ فِي أَعَالِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٢ 12 |
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.”
| 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؟ | ١٣ 13 |
[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]?”’
| «لِذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأْ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، وَقُلْ لِجُوجٍ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ عِنْدَ سُكْنَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ آمِنِينَ، أَفَلَا تَعْلَمُ؟ | ١٤ 14 |
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.
| وَتَأْتِي مِنْ مَوْضِعِكَ مِنْ أَقَاصِي ٱلشِّمَالِ أَنْتَ وَشُعُوبٌ كَثِيرُونَ مَعَكَ، كُلُّهُمْ رَاكِبُونَ خَيْلًا، جَمَاعَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ وَجَيْشٌ كَثِيرٌ. | ١٥ 15 |
So you will come from your place far north [of Israel], with the armies of many [other] nations, all riding horses, a huge army.
| وَتَصْعَدُ عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَسَحَابَةٍ تُغَشِّي ٱلْأَرْضَ. فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْأَخِيرَةِ يَكُونُ. وَآتِي بِكَ عَلَى أَرْضِي لِكَيْ تَعْرِفَنِي ٱلْأُمَمُ، حِينَ أَتَقَدَّسُ فِيكَ أَمَامَ أَعْيُنِهِمْ يَاجُوجُ. | ١٦ 16 |
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.
| «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؟ | ١٧ 17 |
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.
| وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَوْمَ مَجِيءِ جُوجٍ عَلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَنَّ غَضَبِي يَصْعَدُ فِي أَنْفِي. | ١٨ 18 |
[So] this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say will happen: When your [army] attacks Israel, I will be very angry with you.
| وَفِي غَيْرَتِي، فِي نَارِ سَخَطِي تَكَلَّمْتُ، أَنَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يَكُونُ رَعْشٌ عَظِيمٌ فِي أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٩ 19 |
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].
| 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. | ٢٠ 20 |
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.
| وَأَسْتَدْعِي ٱلسَّيْفَ عَلَيْهِ فِي كُلِّ جِبَالِي، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، فَيَكُونُ سَيْفُ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى أَخِيهِ. | ٢١ 21 |
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.
| وَأُعَاقِبُهُ بِٱلْوَبَإِ وَبِالدَّمِ، وَأُمْطِرُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى جَيْشِهِ وَعَلَى ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ مَطَرًا جَارِفًا وَحِجَارَةَ بَرَدٍ عَظِيمَةً وَنَارًا وَكِبْرِيتًا. | ٢٢ 22 |
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.
| فَأَتَعَظَّمُ وَأَتَقَدَّسُ وَأُعْرَفُ فِي عُيُونِ أُمَمٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٢٣ 23 |
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].’”
