حِزْقِيال 38

١ 1 وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

٢ 2 «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، الْتَفِتْ بِوَجْهِكَ نَحْوَ جُوجٍ، أَرْضِ مَاجُوجَ رَئِيسِ رُوشٍ مَاشِكَ وَتُوبَالَ وَتَنَبَّأْ عَلَيْهِ،

“Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, chief prince of [[or prince of Rosh, ]] Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy concerning him,

٣ 3 وَقُلْ، هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا أَنَا أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَيْكَ يَا جُوجُ رَئِيسُ رُوشٍ مَاشِكَ وَتُوبَالَ،

and you have said, Thus says Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, O Gog, Chief prince of [[or prince of Rosh, ]] Meshech and Tubal,

٤ 4 وَأَقْهَرُكَ وَأَضَعُ شَكَائِمَ فِي فَكَّيْكَ، وَأَطْرُدُكَ أَنْتَ وَكُلَّ جَيْشِكَ، خَيْلاً وَفُرْسَاناً وَجَمِيعُهُمْ مُرْتَدُونَ أَفْخَرَ ثِيَابٍ، جُمْهُوراً غَفِيراً كُلُّهُمْ حَمَلَةُ أَتْرَاسٍ وَمَجَانَّ مِنْ كُلِّ قَابِضِ سَيْفٍ.

And I have turned you back, And I have put hooks in your jaws, And have brought you out, and all your force, Horses and horsemen, All of them clothed in perfection, A numerous assembly, [with] buckler and shield, All of them handling swords.

٥ 5 وَمِنْ جُمْلَتِهِمْ رِجَالُ فَارِسَ وَكُوشَ وَفُوطَ يَحْمِلُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِجَنّاً وَخُوذَةً،

Persia, Cush, and Phut, with them, All of them [with] shield and helmet.

٦ 6 وَأَيْضاً جُومَرُ وَكُلُّ جُيُوشِهِ، وَبَيْتُ تُوجَرْمَةَ مِنْ أَقَاصِي الشِّمَالِ مَعَ كُلِّ جَيْشِهِ. جَمِيعُهُمْ جُيُوشٌ غَفِيرَةٌ اجْتَمَعَتْ إِلَيْكَ.

Gomer and all its bands, The house of Togarmah [from] the sides of the north, And all its bands, many peoples with you,

٧ 7 تَأَهَّبْ وَاسْتَعِدَّ أَنْتَ وَجَمِيعُ الْجُيُوشِ الْمُنْضَمَّةِ إِلَيْكَ، لأَنَّكَ أَصْبَحْتَ لَهُمْ قَائِداً،

Be prepared, indeed, prepare yourself, You and all your assemblies who are assembled to you, And you have been for a watch for them.

٨ 8 إِذْ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ كَثِيرَةٍ تُسْتَدْعَى لِلْقِتَالِ، فَتُقْبِلُ فِي السِّنِينَ الأَخِيرَةِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ النَّاجِيَةِ مِنَ السَّيْفِ الَّتِي تَمَّ جَمْعُ أَهْلِهَا مِنْ بَيْنِ شُعُوبٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، فَأَقَامُوا مُطْمَئِنِّينَ عَلَى جِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ دَائِماً مُقْفِرَةً فِي نَظَرِ الَّذِينَ لُمَّ شَتَاتُهُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأُمَمِ،

After many days you are appointed, In the latter end of the years you come into a land brought back from sword—Gathered out of many peoples, On mountains of Israel, That have been for a continuous ruin, And it has been brought out from the peoples, And all of them have dwelt safely.

٩ 9 فَتَأْتِي مُنْدَفِعاً كَزَوْبَعَةٍ، وَتَكُونُ كَسَحَابَةٍ تُغَطِّي الأَرْضَ أَنْتَ وَجُيُوشُكَ وَكُلُّ مَنْ مَعَكَ مِنْ شُعُوبٍ كَثِيرَةٍ.

And you have gone up—you come in as desolation, You are as a cloud to cover the land, You and all your bands, and many peoples with you.

١٠ 10 وَيَحْدُثُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَنَّ أَفْكَارَ سُوءٍ تُرَاوِدُكَ

Thus said Lord YHWH: And it has come to pass in that day, Things come up on your heart, And you have thought an evil thought,

١١ 11 فَتَقُولُ: أَزْحَفُ عَلَى أَرْضٍ عَرَاءٍ مَكْشُوفَةٍ وَأُهَاجِمُ الْمُطْمَئِنِّينَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي أَمْنٍ، الْمُقِيمِينَ كُلَّهُمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُورٍ يَقِيهِمْ، وَلَيْسَ لَدَيْهِمْ مَزَالِيجُ وَلا مَصَارِيعُ،

And you have said: I go up over a land of open places, I go to those at rest, dwelling confidently, All of them are dwelling without walls, And they have no bar and doors—

١٢ 12 لِلاسْتِيلاءِ عَلَى الأَسْلابِ وَنَهْبِ الْغَنَائِمِ وَمُهَاجَمَةِ الْخَرَائِبِ الَّتِي أَصْبَحَتْ آهِلَةً، وَلِمُحَارَبَةِ الشَّعْبِ الْمُجْتَمِعِ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأُمَمِ، الْمُقْتَنِي مَاشِيَةً وَأَمْلاكاً، السَّاكِنِ فِي مَرْكَزِ الأَرْضِ.

To take a spoil, and to take a prey, To turn back your hand on inhabited ruins, And on a people gathered out of nations, Making livestock and substance, Dwelling on a high part of the land.

١٣ 13 وَيَسْأَلُكَ أَهْلُ شَبَا وَرُودُسَ وَتُجَّارُ تَرْشِيشَ وَكُلُّ قُرَاهَا؛ أَقَادِمٌ أَنْتَ لِلاِسْتِيلاءِ عَلَى الأَسْلابِ؟ هَلْ حَشَدْتَ جُيُوشَكَ لِنَهْبِ الْغَنَائِمِ وَلِحَمْلِ الْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ وَأَخْذِ الْمَاشِيَةِ وَالْمُقْتَنَيَاتِ وَلِلسَّلْبِ الْعَظِيمِ؟

Sheba, and Dedan, and merchants of Tarshish, And all its young lions say to you, Are you coming to take spoil? Have you assembled your assembly to take prey? To carry away silver and gold? To take away livestock and substance? To take a great spoil?

١٤ 14 لِذَلِكَ تَنَبَّأْ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، وَقُلْ لِجُوجَ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عِنْدَمَا يَسْكُنُ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلُ آمِناً، أَلا تَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ؟

Therefore, prophesy, son of man, and you have said to Gog, Thus said Lord YHWH: In that day, in the dwelling of My people Israel safely, Do you not know?

١٥ 15 وَتُقْبِلُ أَنْتَ مِنْ مَقَرِّكَ فِي أَقَاصِي الشِّمَالِ مَعَ جُيُوشٍ غَفِيرَةٍ، تُغَشِّي الأَرْضَ؛ كُلُّهُمْ رَاكِبُو خَيْلٍ وَجَمْعٌ عَظِيمٌ وَجَيْشٌ كَثِيرٌ.

And you have come in out of your place, From the sides of the north, You and many peoples with you, Riding on horses—all of them, A great assembly, and a numerous force.

١٦ 16 وَتَزْحَفُ عَلَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَسَحَابَةٍ تُغَطِّي الأَرْضَ، أَنِّي فِي الأَيَّامِ الأَخِيرَةِ آتِي بِكَ إِلَى أَرْضِي لِكَيْ تَعْرِفَنِي الشُّعُوبُ عِنْدَمَا تَتَجَلَّى قَدَاسَتِي حِينَ أُدَمِّرُكَ يَا جُوجُ أَمَامَ عُيُونِهِمْ. هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ:

And you have come up against My people Israel, As a cloud to cover the land, It is in the latter end of the days, And I have brought you in against My land, In order that the nations may know Me, In My being sanctified in you before their eyes, O Gog.

١٧ 17 أَلَسْتَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَحَدَّثْتُ عَنْهُ فِي الأَيَّامِ الْغَابِرَةِ عَلَى أَلْسِنَةِ عَبِيدِي أَنْبِيَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ تَنَبَّأُوا فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ لِسِنِينَ كَثِيرَةٍ بِأَنِّي سَآتِي بِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ؟

Thus said Lord YHWH: Are you he of whom I spoke in former days, By the hand of My servants, prophets of Israel, Who were prophesying [for] years in those days, To bring you in against them?

١٨ 18 وَيَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عِنْدَمَا يَزْحَفُ جُوجُ عَلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَحْتَدِمُ غَضَبِي فِي وَجْهِي.

And it has come to pass in that day, In the day of the coming in of Gog against the land of Israel, A declaration of Lord YHWH, My fury comes up in My face,

١٩ 19 وَفِي خِضَمِّ غَيْرَتِي وَاتِّقَادِ سَخَطِي أَقُولُ إِنَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ تَحْدُثُ هَزَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ فِي أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

And in My zeal, in the fire of My wrath, I have spoken: Is there not a great rushing on the land of Israel in that day?

٢٠ 20 فَيَرْتَعِشُ مِنْ حَضْرَتِي سَمَكُ الْبَحْرِ وَطُيُورُ السَّمَاءِ وَوُحُوشُ الْبَرِّيَّةِ وَجَمِيعُ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الدَّابَّةِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَكُلُّ النَّاسِ الَّذِينَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمَسْكُونَةِ، وَتَنْدَكُّ الْجِبَالُ وَتَسْقُطُ الْمَعَاقِلُ وَتَنْهَارُ كُلُّ الأَسْوَارِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ.

And rushed from My presence have fishes of the sea, And the bird of the heavens, And the beast of the field, And every creeping thing that is creeping on the ground, And all men who [are] on the face of the ground, And the mountains have been thrown down, And the ascents have fallen, And every wall falls to the earth.

٢١ 21 وَأُسَلِّطُ عَلَيْهِ السَّيْفَ فِي كُلِّ جِبَالِي يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ، فَيَكُونُ سَيْفُ كُلِّ رَجُلٍ ضِدَّ أَخِيهِ.

And I have called for a sword against him throughout all My mountains, A declaration of Lord YHWH, The sword of each is against his brother.

٢٢ 22 وَأَدِينُهُ بِالْوَبَاءِ وَبِالدَّمِ، وَأُمْطِرُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى جُيُوشِهِ وَعَلَى جُمُوعِ حُلَفَائِهِ الْغَفِيرَةِ مَطَراً جَارِفاً وَبَرَداً عَظِيماً وَنَاراً وَكِبْرِيتاً.

And I have judged him with pestilence and with blood, And an overflowing rain and hailstones, I rain fire and brimstone on him, and on his bands, And on many peoples who [are] with him.

٢٣ 23 فَأُعَظِّمُ نَفْسِي وَأُقَدِّسُهَا، وَأُعْلِنُ ذَاتِي عَلَى مَرْأَى مِنْ كُلِّ الأُمَمِ، فَيُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ».

And I have magnified Myself, and sanctified Myself, And I have been known before the eyes of many nations, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
