Ezekiel 38

1 I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

The LORD’s word came to me, saying,

2 “Sine čovječji, okreni lice ka Gogu, u zemlji Magogu, velikom knezu Mešeka i Tubala, prorokuj protiv njega.

“Son of man, set your face towards Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

3 Reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: Evo me na te, Gože, veliki kneže Mešeka i Tubala!

and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal.

4 Namamit ću te i metnut ću ti žvale u čeljusti, izvest ću tebe i svu tvoju vojsku - konje i konjanike, silno mnoštvo u potpunoj opremi - sve u oklopima i sa štitovima, sve vične maču.

I will turn you around, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armour, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords;

5 S njima je i Perzija, Etiopija i Put - svi sa štitovima i pod kacigama;

Persia, Cush, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet;

6 zatim Gomer i sve čete njegove, Bet Togarma s krajnjega sjevera i sve čete njezine - silan narod s tobom!

Gomer, and all his hordes; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his hordes—even many peoples with you.

7 Dobro se spremi ti i sve mnoštvo što se oko tebe skupilo i stani mu na čelo!

“‘“Be prepared, yes, prepare yourself, you, and all your companies who are assembled to you, and be a guard to them.

8 Poslije mnogo dana dobit ćeš zapovijed; poslije mnogo godina navalit ćeš na zemlju, izbavljenu od mača i skupljenu iz mojih naroda, na gore Izraelove, nekoć zadugo puste: otkako ih izvedoh iz naroda, svi spokojno žive.

After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, on the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste; but it is brought out of the peoples and they will dwell securely, all of them.

9 Dići ćeš se, doći kao nevrijeme, kao oblak što prekrije zemlju, ti i tvoje čete, a s vama sila naroda!'

You will ascend. You will come like a storm. You will be like a cloud to cover the land, you and all your hordes, and many peoples with you.”

10 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'U onaj će ti se dan misli rojiti u srcu i skovat ćeš zao naum.

“‘The Lord GOD says: “It will happen in that day that things will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.

11 Reći ćeš: 'Hajde da se dignem na zemlju nebranjenu, da navalim na miran narod koji spokojno živi bez zidina i bez prijevornica i bez vrata:

You will say, ‘I will go up to the land of unwalled villages. I will go to those who are at rest, who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,

12 pa da se plijena naplijenim i pljačke napljačkam - da ruku stavim na razvaline opet napučene i na narod iz narÄodÄa sakupljen, koji se bavi stadima i imanjem i živi u središtu zemlje.'

to take the plunder and to take prey; to turn your hand against the waste places that are inhabited, and against the people who are gathered out of the nations, who have gotten livestock and goods, who dwell in the middle of the earth.’

13 Šeba, Dedan i trgovci taršiški i svi njihovi lavići pitat će te: 'Zar zato dolaziš plijeniti? I zar si radi pljačke toliku gomilu skupio da odneseš srebro i zlato, da otmeš stoku i imanje i da se plijena velikoga naplijeniš?'

Sheba, Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all its young lions, will ask you, ‘Have you come to take the plunder? Have you assembled your company to take the prey, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’”’

14 Zato prorokuj, sine čovječji, i reci Gogu: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: U onaj dan kad narod moj izraelski bude spokojno živio, ti ćeš se podići!

“Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and tell Gog, ‘The Lord GOD says: “In that day when my people Israel dwells securely, will you not know it?

15 Doći ćeš iz svoga sjedišta, s krajnjega sjevera, ti i s tobom mnogo naroda, sve samih konjanika, silno mnoštvo, golema vojska.

You will come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you, and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army.

16 Navalit ćeš na Izraela, narod moj, kao oblak kad pokrije zemlju. U posljednje dane dovest ću te na svoju zemlju da me narodi upoznaju, kad na tebi, Gože, njima naočigled, pokažem svetost svoju.'

You will come up against my people Israel as a cloud to cover the land. It will happen in the latter days that I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me when I am sanctified in you, Gog, before their eyes.”

17 Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Nisi li ti onaj o kome sam govorio, u davne dane, preko slugu svojih, proroka Izraelovih, koji u ono vrijeme prorokovaše da ću te na njih dovesti?

“‘The Lord GOD says: “Are you he of whom I spoke in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for years that I would bring you against them?

18 U onaj dan kad Gog navali na zemlju Izraelovu - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - gnjev će mi iz nosa planuti.

It will happen in that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord GOD, “that my wrath will come up into my nostrils.

19 U ljubomori svojoj i u ognju jarosti svoje odlučih: U onaj dan bit će silan potres u zemlji Izraelovoj.

For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath I have spoken. Surely in that day there will be a great shaking in the land of Israel,

20 I trest će se poda mnom ribe morske i ptice nebeske, poljske zvijeri i gmazovi što gmižu po zemlji i svi ljudi što žive na njoj. Planine će se razvaliti, vrleti popadati i sve se zidine porušiti!

so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, all creeping things who creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the surface of the earth will shake at my presence. Then the mountains will be thrown down, the steep places will fall, and every wall will fall to the ground.

21 I po svim svojim gorama pozvat ću na njega mač - riječ je Jahve Gospoda - s mačem će se brat na brata dići!

I will call for a sword against him to all my mountains,” says the Lord GOD. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother.

22 Sudit ću mu kugom i krvlju. I spustit ću silan pljusak, i kamenje tÓuče, oganj i sumpor na nj, na njegove čete i na mnogi narod koji bude s njime.

I will enter into judgement with him with pestilence and with blood. I will rain on him, on his hordes, and on the many peoples who are with him, torrential rains with great hailstones, fire, and sulphur.

23 I uzveličat ću se, posvetiti i objaviti pred svim narodima, i znat će da sam ja Jahve.'

I will magnify myself and sanctify myself, and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”’
