Ezekiel 38

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

I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

2 “Son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the prince of the head of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy about him.

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

3 And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of the head of Meshech and Tubal.

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

4 And I will turn you around, and I will place a bit in your jaws. And I will lead you away, with all your army, the horses and the horsemen all clothed in armor, a great multitude, equipped with spears and light shields and swords,

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.

5 the Persians, the Ethiopians, and the Libyans with them, all with heavy shields and helmets,

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

6 Gomer, and all his companies, the house of Togarmah, the northern parts, and all his strength, and the many peoples with you.

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

7 Prepare and equip yourself, with all your multitude which has been assembled to you. And you shall be like a commandment to them.

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

8 After many days, you will be visited. At the end of the years, you will arrive at the land which was turned back by the sword, and which has been gathered from many peoples to the mountains of Israel that have been continually abandoned. These ones have been led away from the peoples, and all of them will be living confidently within it.

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.

9 But you will ascend and arrive like a tempest and like a cloud, so that you may cover the land, you and all your companies, and the many peoples with you.

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

10 Thus says the Lord God: In that day, words will climb into your heart, and you will invent a most wicked plan.

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

11 And you will say: ‘I will ascend to the land without a wall. I will go to those who are resting and dwelling securely. All these live without a wall; they have no bars or gates.’

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:

12 Thus, you will plunder spoils, and you will take possession of prey, so that you may lay your hand upon those who had been abandoned, and afterwards were restored, and upon a people who were gathered away from the Gentiles, a people who have begun to possess, and to be the inhabitants of, the navel of the earth.

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.'

13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, and all its lions will say to you: ‘Could you have arrived in order to purchase from the spoils? Behold, you have gathered your multitude in order to plunder a prey, so that you may take silver and gold, and carry away equipment and substance, and plunder immeasurable wealth.’

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?'

14 Because of this, son of man, prophesy, and you shall say to Gog: Thus says the Lord God: How is it that you do not know of that day, when my people, Israel, will be living in confidence?

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!

15 And you will advance from your place, from the parts of the north, you and the many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great assembly and an immense army.

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

16 And you will rise up over my people, Israel, like a cloud, so that you may cover the earth. In the latter days, you will be. And I will lead you over my own land, so that the Gentiles may know me, when I will have been sanctified in you, O Gog, before their eyes.

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.'

17 Thus says the Lord God: Therefore, you are the one, about whom I spoke in the days of antiquity, by the hand of my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in the days of those times that I would lead you over them.

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?

18 And this shall be in that day, in the day of the advent of Gog over the land of Israel, says the Lord God: my indignation will rise up in my fury.

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

19 And I have spoken, in my zeal and in the fire of my wrath, that there shall be a great commotion over the land of Israel, in that day.

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

20 And before my face there shall be stirred up: the fish of the sea, and the flying things of the air, and the beasts of the field, and every crawling thing that moves across the soil, and all the men who are upon the face of the earth. And the mountains will be overturned, and the hedges will fall, and every wall will fall in ruin to the ground.

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!

21 And I will call for the sword against him on all my mountains, says the Lord God. Each one’s sword will be directed toward his brother.

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

22 And I will judge him by pestilence, and blood, and violent rainstorms, and immense hailstones. I will rain fire and brimstone upon him, and upon his army, and upon the many peoples who are with him.

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.

23 And I will be magnified and sanctified. And I will be known in the eyes of the many nations. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”

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