< Ezekiel 38 >

1 And the worde of the Lord came vnto mee, saying,
上主的話傳給我說:「
2 Sonne of man, set thy face against Gog, and against the lande of Magog, the chiefe prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophecie against him,
人子,你面向哥格和瑪哥格地,即面向默舍克和突巴耳的最高領袖,講預言攻斥他,
3 And say, Thus sayth the Lord God, Behold, I come against thee, O Gog the chiefe prince of Meshech and Tubal.
說:吾主上主這樣說:默舍客和突巴耳的最高領袖,看,我要攻擊你,
4 And I wil destroy thee, and put hookes in thy chawes, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine host both horses, and horsemen, all clothed with al sorts of armour, eue a great multitude with bucklers, and shieldes, all handling swords.
我要用鉤子鉤住你的牙床,把你拖出來,使你帶領你的大軍、馬隊和騎兵出征,都是全副武裝,戴著盔甲和盾牌的大軍,都手持刀劍。
5 They of Paras, of Cush, and Phut with the, euen all they that beare shielde and helmet.
還有波斯、雇士和普特人同他們聯盟,都帶著盾牌和銅盔。
6 Gomer and all his bands, and the house of Togarmah of the North quarters, and al his bands, and much people with thee.
哥默爾及其隊伍,極北方的托加爾瑪家族及其隊伍,還有許多人民同你聯合。
7 Prepare thy selfe, and make thee ready, both thou, and al thy multitude, that are assembled vnto thee, and be thou their sauegard.
你和同你聯合的各種隊伍都要戒備武裝起來,好為我服務。
8 After many dayes thou shalt bee visited: for in the latter yeres thou shalt come into the land, that hath bene destroyed with the sworde, and is gathered out of many people vpon the mountaines of Israel, which haue long lien waste: yet they haue bene brought out of the people, and they shall dwell all safe.
多日之後,你要奉到命令;到末年,你要去攻擊那脫離兵災已復原的地方,那裏的居民是由各民族聚集起來的;你要去攻擊那久已荒涼的以色列山,那裏的居民是由各民族歸來,已安居在那裏。
9 Thou shalt ascende and come vp like a tempest, and shalt be like a cloude to couer the land, both thou, and all thy bandes, and many people with thee.
你和你的大軍,以及同你聯合的各種隊伍都一起上去,有如狂風來臨,有如濃雲遮地。
10 Thus saith the Lord God, Euen at ye same time shall many things come into thy minde, and thou shalt thinke euil thoughts.
吾主上主這樣說:到那一天,你要心起惡念,籌劃一個惡計。
11 And thou shalt say, I wil go vp to the land that hath no walled towres: I will goe to them that are at rest, and dwell in safetie, which dwell all without walles, and haue neither barres nor gates,
你要想:我要進攻不設防的地方,進攻安居無憂的人民;他們住的地方沒有圍牆,沒有門閂,也沒有門。
12 Thinking to spoyle the pray, and to take a bootie, to turne thine hande vpon the desolate places that are nowe inhabited, and vpon the people, that are gathered out of the nations which haue gotten cattell and goods, and dwell in the middes of the land.
我要去搶奪劫掠,下手攻擊已為人居住的廢墟,攻擊那由各民族匯集而來,已有牲畜財物,已安居在地中心的人民。
13 Sheba and Dedan, and the marchantes of Tarshish with all the lions thereof shall say vnto thee, Art thou come to spoyle the praye? hast thou gathered thy multitude to take a booty? to cary away siluer and golde, to take away cattell and goods, and to spoyle a great pray?
舍巴、德丹、塔爾史士的商人和客商都問你說:你來豈不是為了搶奪﹖集合你的聯軍豈不是為了劫掠,奪去金銀,帶走牲畜和財物,拿去大批掠物﹖
14 Therefore, sonne of man, prophecie, and saye vnto Gog, Thus sayeth the Lord God, In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safe, shalt thou not knowe it?
人子,為此你要講預言,向哥格說:吾主上主這樣說:當我的百姓以色列安居的那一天,你不是就起了身,
15 And come from thy place out of the North partes, thou and much people with thee? all shall ride vpon horses, euen a great multitude and a mightie armie.
離開你的住處,由極北之地而來,率領許多民族都騎著馬,實在是一支龐大的聯軍,極強大的隊伍,
16 And thou shalt come vp against my people of Israel, as a cloude to couer the land: thou shalt be in the latter dayes, and I will bring thee vpon my lande, that the heathen may knowe mee, when I shalbe sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
上來進攻我的百姓以色列,有如密雲遮地一般﹖哥格! 到末日我要領你來攻打我的地方,為的是當我在異民眼前,在你身上顯聖時,叫他們認識我。
17 Thus saith the Lord God, Art not thou he, of whom I haue spoken in olde time, by ye hand of my seruants the Prophets of Israel which prophecied in those dayes and yeeres, that I woulde bring thee vpon them?
吾主上主這樣說:你就是我昔日藉我的僕人以色列的先知在那些歲月中所預言的:我要領你進攻他們的那一位。
18 At the same time also whe Gog shall come against the land of Israel, sayth the Lord God, my wrath shall arise in mine anger.
到哥格進攻以色列的那一天──吾主上主的斷語──我的怒氣要從我的鼻孔發出;
19 For in mine indignation and in the fire of my wrath haue I spoken it: surely at that time there shalbe a great shaking in the land of Israel,
我要在妒忌怒火中說:的確,到那一天,以色列地必要發生大地震;
20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the foules of the heauen, and the beasts of the field and al that moue and creepe vpon the earth, and al ye men that are vpon the earth, shall tremble at my presence, and the mountaines shalbe ouerthrowen, and the staires shall fall, and euery wall shall fall to the ground.
海裏的魚,空中的飛鳥,田間的走獸,地上所有的爬蟲,地面上所有的人,都要在我面前戰慄;山要崩裂,懸崖要塌陷,所有牆垣要傾倒地上。
21 For I will call for a sworde against him throughout all my mountaines, saith the Lord God: euery mans sword shalbe against his brother.
我要召刀劍到我的各山上來攻擊他──吾主上主的斷語──人們要用刀劍互相殘殺。
22 And I will pleade against him with pestilence, and with blood, and I will cause to raine vpon him and vpon his bands, and vpon the great people, that are with him, a sore raine, and hailestones, fire, and brimstone.
我要以瘟疫和殘殺懲罰他,且要在他和他的軍隊以及同他聯合的眾民身上,降下暴雨、冰雹、火燄和硫磺。
23 Thus will I be magnified, and sanctified, and knowen in the eyes of many nations, and they shall knowe, that I am the Lord.
如此,我要顯示我的偉大和神聖,且在眾民眼前顯示我自己,使他們承認我是上主。」
