Ezekiel 38

1 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

1 وَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ الرَّبُّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

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

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

3 and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.

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

4 I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws, and bring you out with all your army—your horses, your horsemen in full armor, and a great company armed with shields and bucklers, all brandishing their swords.

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.

5 Persia, Cush, and Put will accompany them, all with shields and helmets,

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

6 as well as Gomer with all its troops, and Beth-togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you.

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

7 Get ready; prepare yourself, you and all your company gathered around you; you will be their guard.

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

8 After a long time you will be summoned. In the latter years you will enter a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and all now dwell securely.

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،

9 You and all your troops, and many peoples with you will go up, advancing like a thunderstorm; you will be like a cloud covering the land.

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

10 This is what the Lord GOD says: On that day, thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.

10 وَيَحْدُثُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَنَّ أَفْكَارَ سُوءٍ تُرَاوِدُكَ

11 You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will come against a quiet people who dwell securely, all of them living without walls or bars or gates—

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

12 in order to seize the spoil and carry off the plunder, to turn a hand against the desolate places now inhabited and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and possessions and who live at the center of the land.’

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

13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish with all its villages will ask, ‘Have you come to capture the plunder? Have you assembled your hordes to carry away loot, to make off with silver and gold, to take cattle and goods, to seize great spoil?’

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؟

14 Therefore prophesy, son of man, and tell Gog that this is what the Lord GOD says: On that day when My people Israel are dwelling securely, will you not take notice of this?

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

15 And you will come from your place out of the far north—you and many peoples with you, all riding horses—a mighty horde, a huge army.

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

16 You will advance against My people Israel like a cloud covering the land. It will happen in the latter days, O Gog, that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me when I show Myself holy in you before their eyes.

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:

17 This is what the Lord GOD says: Are you the one of whom I have spoken in former days through My servants, the prophets of Israel, who in those times prophesied for years that I would bring you against them?

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؟

18 Now on that day when Gog comes against the land of Israel, declares the Lord GOD, My wrath will flare up.

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

19 In My zeal and fiery rage I proclaim that on that day there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.

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

20 The fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, every creature that crawls upon the ground, and all mankind on the face of the earth will tremble at My presence. The mountains will be thrown down, the cliffs will collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground.

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.

21 And I will summon a sword against Gog on all My mountains, declares the Lord GOD, and every man’s sword will be against his brother.

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

22 I will execute judgment upon him with plague and bloodshed. I will pour out torrents of rain, hailstones, fire, and sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him.

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

23 I will magnify and sanctify Myself, and I will reveal Myself in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.

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