Izikiel 38

1 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,

The LORD’s word came to me, saying,

2 “Nwa nke mmadụ, chee ihu nʼala Magog, bukwaa amụma megide Gog, bụ onyeisi nke Meshek na Tubal. Buo amụma megide ya,

“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 sị, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ana m edo onwe m imegide gị, Gog, eze ukwu ndị Meshek na Tubal.

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

4 Aga m echigharị gị, tinye gị nko nʼagba gị abụọ, jiri ya kpụpụta gị na usuu ndị agha gị niile, na ịnyịnya gị, na ndị na-agba ịnyịnya gị na ihe agha ha, na usuu ndị agha gị niile, ndị ji ọta ukwu na ọta nta, ndị niile na-ejide mma agha ha.

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 Peshịa na Itiopia, na Put, ga-esonyere ha, ha niile ga-ejikwa ọta ha na okpu agha ha.

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

6 Goma na usuu ndị agha ya niile, na ndị agha Bet Togama ndị si nʼakụkụ ugwu, dị ebe dị anya na ọtụtụ ndị mba ọzọ ga-eso gị.

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 “‘Jikere! Jikere onwe gị, gị onwe gị na usuu ndị agha ahụ nọ gị gburugburu, gị Gog, bụrụkwa onyendu ha.

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

8 Mgbe ọtụtụ ụbọchị gasịrị, a ga-akpọlite gị ibu agha. Nʼogologo oge dị nʼihu, ị ga-ebuso ala ahụ agha bụ ala ahụ na-enwetaghachi onwe ya site na mbibi nke ibu agha; ala ahụ e si na mba dị iche iche chịkọtaa ndị bi nʼime ya, mee ka ha birikwa nʼugwu niile nke Izrel ahụ naara atọgbọ nʼefu. E bulatara ha site na mba dị iche iche, ma ugbu a, ha anọrọla nʼudo.

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 Gị onwe gị, na ndị agha gị niile, na ọtụtụ ndị mba ahụ dị iche iche ndị na-eso gị, jiri ọsọ, dịka ikuku siri ike, rigoo, kpuchie ala ahụ dịka igwe ojii.

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 “‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Nʼụbọchị ahụ, echiche ọjọọ ga-abata nʼobi gị, mgbe ị na-atule ọtụtụ ihe dị iche iche nʼobi gị.

“‘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 Ị ga-asị, “Aga m ebuli megide nʼala na-enweghị mgbidi, aga m awakpo ndị nọ nʼudo na-adịghị atụ anya nsogbu ọbụla, ha niile bụ ndị bi nʼebe na-enweghị mgbidi, ha enweghịkwa ibo ọnụ ụzọ na mkpọrọ e ji akpọchi ha.

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 Aga m akwata ihe nkwata, lụtakwa ihe nlụta nʼagha. Aga m eweli aka m megide obodo ndị a niile e wugharịrị ewugharị, megidekwa ndị a niile e si na mba dị iche iche chịkọtaa, bụ ndị bara ọgaranya nʼanụ ụlọ na ngwongwo dị iche iche, ndị bikwa nʼetiti ala a.”

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 Ndị Sheba na Dedan, na ndị ahịa Tashish niile, na ụmụ ọdụm ya niile ga-ajụ gị, “Ị bịara ịkwata ihe nkwata? Ị chịkọtara usuu ndị agha gị nʼihi ịkwara ihe nlụta, na iburu ọlaọcha na ọlaedo, na ịchịrị igwe anụ ụlọ ha, na ngwongwo ha, na ịkwakọrọ ihe ha nwere nʼike?”’

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 “Nʼihi ya, nwa nke mmadụ, buo amụma sị Gog, ‘Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Nʼụbọchị ahụ mgbe ndị m bụ Izrel na-ebi nʼudo nʼala ha, ọ bụ na ị gaghị ahụta ya?

“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 Ị ga-esi nʼebe obibi gị dị nʼugwu bịa, gị na ọtụtụ mba dị iche iche, ndị na-anọkwasị nʼịnyịnya. Ha ga-adị ukwuu, bụrụ ndị agha dị ike.

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 Unu ga-abịa ibuso ndị m Izrel agha, kpuchie ala ha dịka igwe ojii. Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ dị nʼihu, aga m eme ka gị, bụ Gog, bịa buso ala m agha, ka mba niile si otu a mata m, mgbe m mere ka ịdị nsọ m pụta ìhè nʼanya ha site nʼihe m ga-eme.’

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 “‘Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru: Ọ bụ gị, bụ onye ahụ m kwuru okwu banyere ya nʼoge gara aga, site nʼọnụ ndị ohu m, bụ ndị amụma Izrel, ndị buru amụma ọtụtụ afọ na mgbe ahụ, sị, na m ga-eme ka ị megide ndị m.

“‘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 Lee ihe ga-eme nʼụbọchị ahụ. Mgbe Gog busoro ala Izrel agha, ọ ga-esi otu a kpalie iwe m dị ọkụ. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.

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 Nʼihi na esitere m nʼịnụ ọkụ nke obi m, na oke iwe m kwupụta sị, na ala ọma jijiji dị ukwuu ga-adị nʼIzrel nʼụbọchị ahụ.

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 Azụ niile dị nʼoke osimiri, na anụ ufe nke eluigwe, na anụ ọhịa, na ihe niile na-akpụ akpụ, na mmadụ niile nọ nʼelu ụwa ga-ama jijiji nʼihu m. A ga-akwatu ugwu niile, ebe niile dị mkputamkpu ga-adarukwa ala.

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 Aga m akpọlite mma agha ka o megide Gog nʼugwu m niile. Onye ọbụla ga-ejikwa mma agha ya megide nwanne ya nwoke. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.

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 Aga m eji ọrịa na-efe efe na iwusi ọbara kpee ya ikpe. Aga m awụkwasị ya na ndị agha ya na ọtụtụ mba dị iche iche ndị ahụ so ya, oke mmiri ozuzo na akụmmiri, na nkume ọkụ.

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 Otu a ka m ga-esi gosi ịdị ukwuu m, na ịdị nsọ nke aha m. Aga m emekwa ka a mara m nʼanya mba niile dị iche iche. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-amata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.’

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.”’
