ʻIsikieli 38

1 Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

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

2 “Foha ʻoe tangata, fakahanga ho mata kia Koki, ʻae fonua ko Mekoki, ʻaia ʻoku ʻeiki lahi hake ʻia Meseke, pea mo Tupale, pea kikite kiate ia,

Son of man, set your face against Gog, and the land of Magog, Rhos, prince of Mesoch and Thobel, and prophesy against him,

3 Mo ke pehē, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, ʻe Koki, ʻoku ou tuʻu au kiate koe, ʻa koe ko e ʻeiki lahi ʻi Meseke, pea mo Tupale;

and say to him, Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I am against you, Rhos prince of Mesoch and Thobel:

4 Pea te u fakafoki koe ki mui, pea te u ʻai ʻae mātaʻu ki ho ngutu, pea te u fusi mai ʻa koe, mo hoʻo kau tau kotoa pē, ʻae fanga hoosi, mo e kau heka hoosi, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku kofu fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻio, ʻae fuʻu tokolahi ʻoku toʻo ʻae fakaū mo e pā, pea ʻoku nau taki taha toʻo mo e heletā ʻi honau nima;

and I will gather you, and all your host, horses and horsemen, all wearing breastplates, with a great multitude, shields and helmets and swords:

5 ‌ʻA Peasia, mo ʻItiopea, mo Lipea, fakataha mo kinautolu; ʻoku ʻai kotoa pē ʻekinautolu ʻae pā, mo e tatā ki he tau:

Persians, and Ethiopians, and Libyans; all with helmets and shields.

6 ‌ʻA Komela, pea mo ʻene ngaahi matatau; ʻae fale ʻo Tokama mei he feituʻu tokelau, mo ʻene faʻahitaʻu ʻaʻana; pea mo e kakai tokolahi kuo fakataha mo koe.

Gomer, and all belonging to him; the house of Thorgama, from the end of the north, and all belonging to him; and many nations with you.

7 Ke ke teuteu pe koe, pea ke teuteu pe maʻau, ʻa koe, mo e kakai kotoa pē kuo fakataha mai kiate koe, pea ke leʻohi ʻe koe kiate kinautolu.

Be you prepared, prepare yourself, you, and all your multitude that is assembled with you, and you shall be to me for a guard.

8 Hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho lahi ʻe fai ʻae ʻaʻahi kiate koe: te ke toe hoko mai ʻi he ngaahi taʻu fakamui, ki he fonua kuo fakamoʻui mai mei he heletā, pea ʻe tānaki koe mei he ngaahi kakai tokolahi, ki he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe lala ʻo fuoloa: ʻio, ʻe ʻomi ia mei he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea te nau nofo malu kotoa pē ʻakinautolu.

He shall be prepared after many days, and he shall come at the end of years, and shall come to a land that is brought back from the sword, when [the people] are gathered from many nations against the land of Israel, which was entirely desolate: and he is come forth out of the nations, and they shall all dwell securely.

9 Te ke ʻalu hake, pea hoko mai ʻo hangē ko e taufa matangi, pea te ke hangē ko e ʻao ke ʻufiʻufi ʻae fonua, ʻa koe, mo hoʻo ngaahi matatau, mo e kakai tokolahi ʻe fakataha mo koe.”

And you shall go up as rain, and shall arrive as a cloud to cover the land, and there shall be you, and all that are about you, and many nations with you.

10 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua hoko foki ʻo pehē, “ʻI he kuonga pe ko ia, ʻe hū ʻae ngaahi meʻa ki ho loto, pea te ke fakakaukau ai ki ha ngāue kovi:

Thus says the Lord God; It shall also come to pass in that day, that thoughts shall come up into your heart, and you shall devise evil devices.

11 Pea te ke lea ʻo pehē, Te u ʻalu hake ki he fonua ʻoe ngaahi kolo ʻoku ʻikai ʻāʻi; te u ʻalu kiate kinautolu ʻoku mālōlō, mo nofo fiemālie, ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo, ʻoku ʻikai hanau ʻā, pe ha songo, pe ha matapā,

And you shall say, I will go up to the rejected land; I will come upon them that are at ease in tranquillity, and dwelling in peace, all inhabiting a land in which there is no wall, nor bars, nor have they doors;

12 Koeʻuhi ke u vete ia, mo maʻu ha koloa; ke ʻai hoku nima ki he ngaahi potu lala kuo fakakakai, pea mo e kakai ʻaia kuo tānaki mei he ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻakinautolu kuo maʻu ʻae fanga manu mo e koloa, pea ʻoku nau nofo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fonua.

to seize plunder, and to take their spoil; to turn my hands against the desolate land that is [now] inhabited, and against a nation that is gathered from many nations, that have acquired property, dwelling in the midst of the land.

13 ‌ʻE pehē mai kiate koe ʻe Sipa, mo Tetani, mo e kau fakatau ʻi Tasisi, mo e fanga laione mui kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai, ‘Kuo ke haʻu koe ke fai ha vete? Kuo ke fakataha hoʻo kakai ke maʻu mālohi ha koloa? Ke fetuku mo ʻave ha siliva mo ha koula, ke ʻave ʻae fanga manu mo e koloa, pea ke ʻave mo e meʻa lahi ʻaupito?’”

Sabba, and Daedan, and Carthaginian merchants, and all their villages shall say to you, You are come for plunder to take a prey, and to get spoils: you have gathered your multitude to take silver and gold, to carry off property, to take spoils.

14 Ko ia, foha ʻoe tangata, kikite, pea ke pehē kia Koki, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻe nofo fiemālie ʻa hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli?

Therefore prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog, Thus says the Lord; Will you not arise in that day, when my people Israel are dwelling securely,

15 Pea te ke haʻu mei ho potu ʻi he feituʻu tokelau, ʻa koe, mo e kakai tokolahi ʻe fakataha mo koe, ko e kau heka hoosi kotoa pē ʻakinautolu, ko e fuʻu tokolahi ʻaupito, pea ko e kau tau mālohi:

and come out of your place from the farthest north, and many nations with you? all of them mounted on horses, a great gathering, and a large force?

16 Pea te ke hoko hake ki hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko e ʻao ke ʻufiʻufi ʻae fonua; ʻe hoko ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakamui, pea te u ʻomi koe ke tauʻi ʻa hoku fonua, koeʻuhi ke ʻiloʻi au ʻe he hiteni, ʻoka fakaongoongoleleiʻi au ʻe koe, ʻE Koki, ʻi honau ʻao.

And you shall come up upon my people Israel as a cloud to cover the land; it shall come to pass in the last days, that I will bring you up upon my land, that all the nations may know me, when I am sanctified in you before them.

17 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ko koe ia ʻaia naʻaku lea ki ai ʻi muʻa ʻi heʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻakinautolu naʻe kikite ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia ki ha ngaahi taʻu lahi, ʻo pehē, Te u ʻomi koe ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu.

Thus says the Lord God, to Gog; You are [he] concerning whom I spoke in former times, by the hand of my servants the prophets of Israel, in those days and years, that I would bring you up against them.

18 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē foki ʻi he kuonga pe ko ia, ʻe haʻu ʻa Koki ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli ke tauʻi ia, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻe ʻalu hake foki ʻae houhau ʻi hoku fofonga.

And it shall come to pass in that day, in the day when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, says the Lord God,

19 He kuo u lea ʻi heʻeku fuaʻa, pea mo e kakaha ʻo hoku tuputāmaki, Ko e moʻoni ʻe ai ʻae ngalulu fakamanavahē ʻi he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ko ia;

[that] my wrath and my jealousy shall arise, I have spoken in the fire of mine anger, verily in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;

20 Ko ia ʻe tetetete ai ʻi hoku ʻao ʻae ngaahi ika ʻoe tahi, mo e fanga manupuna ʻoe langi, ʻae fanga manu ʻoe vao, mo e meʻa totolo kotoa pē, ʻoku ngaolo ʻi he funga ʻo māmani, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he funga ʻo māmani, pea ʻe holoki hifo ʻae ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻe holo mo e ngaahi potu lilifa, pea ʻe hinga ki lalo ki he kelekele ʻae ngaahi ʻā kotoa pē.

and the fish of the sea shall quake at the presence of the Lord, and the birds of the sky and the wild beasts of the field, and all the reptiles that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are on the face of the earth; and the mountains shall be tore, and the valleys shall fall, and every wall on the land shall fall.

21 Pea te u ui mai ʻae heletā kiate ia, ʻi hoku ngaahi moʻunga kotoa pē, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: ʻe tuʻu taki taha ʻae tangata mo ʻene heletā ke tauʻi ʻa hono tokoua.

And I will summon against it even every fear, says the Lord: the sword of [every] man shall be against his brother.

22 Pea te u fai mo ia ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha mo e lilingi toto; pea te u fakaʻauha kiate ia, mo ʻene ngaahi matatau, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoku fakataha mo ia, ko e lovai fakamanavahē, mo e ʻuha maka lalahi, mo e afi, mo e sulifa.

And I will judge him with pestilence, and blood, and sweeping rain, and hailstones; and I will rain upon him fire and brimstone, and upon all that are with him, and upon many nations with him.

23 ‌ʻE pehē ʻa ʻeku fakaongoongoleleiʻi au ʻeau pe, mo hoku fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi; pea ʻe ʻiloʻi au ʻe he mata ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga lahi, pea te nau ʻilo ko Sihova au.”

And I will be magnified, and sanctified, and glorified; and I will be known in the presence of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
