Ezekiel 38

vayehi devar-Adonai elay lemor

The word of GOD came to me:

ben-adam sim panekha el-gog erets hammagog nesi rosh meshekh vetuval vehinnave alayw

O mortal, turn your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him

ve'amarta koh amar adonay Elohim hinni elekha gog nesi rosh meshekh vetuval

and say: Thus said the Sovereign GOD: Lo, I am coming to deal with you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal!

veshovavtikha venatatti khakhim bilkhayekha vehotseti otekha ve'et-kol-khelekha susim ufarashim levushe mikhlol kullam qahal rav tsinnah umagen tofese kharavot kullam

I will turn you around and put hooks in your jaws, and lead you out with all your army, horses, and riders, all of them clothed in splendor, a vast assembly, all of them with bucklers and shields, wielding swords.

paras kush ufut ittam kullam magen vekhova

Among them shall be Persia, Cush, and Put, everyone with shield and helmet;

gomer vekhol-agappeha bet togarmah yarkete tsafon ve'et-kol-agappayw ammim rabbim ittakh

Gomer and all its cohorts, Beth-togarmah [in] the remotest parts of the north and all its cohorts—the many peoples with you.

hikkon vehakhen lekha attah vekhol-qehalekha hanniqhalim alekha vehayita lahem lemishmar

Be ready, prepare yourselves, you and all the battalions mustered about you, and hold yourself in reserve for them.

miyyamim rabbim tippaqed be'akharit hashanim tavo el-erets meshovevet mekherev mequbbetset me'ammim rabbim al hare yisra'el asher-hayu lekhorbah tamid vehi me'ammim hutsa'ah veyashevu lavetakh kullam

After a long time you shall be summoned; in the distant future you shall march against the land [of a people] restored from the sword, gathered from the midst of many peoples—against the mountains of Israel, which have long lain desolate—[a people] liberated from the nations, and now all dwelling secure.

ve'alita kasho'ah tavo ke'anan lekhassot ha'arets tihyeh attah vekhol-agappekha ve'ammim rabbim otakh

You shall advance, coming like a storm; you shall be like a cloud covering the earth, you and all your cohorts, and the many peoples with you.

koh amar adonay Elohim vehayah bayyom hahu ya'alu devarim al-levavekha vekhashavta makhashevet ra'ah

Thus said the Sovereign GOD: On that day, a thought will occur to you, and you will conceive a wicked design.

ve'amarta e'eleh al-erets perazot avo hashoqetim yosheve lavetakh kullam yoshevim be'en khomah uveriakh udelatayim en lahem

You will say, “I will invade a land of open towns, I will fall upon a tranquil people living secure, all of them living in unwalled towns and lacking bars and gates,

lishlol shalal velavoz baz lehashiv yadekha al-khoravot noshavot ve'el-am me'ussaf miggoyim oseh miqneh veqinyan yosheve al-tabbur ha'arets

in order to take spoil and seize plunder”—to turn your hand against repopulated wastes, and against a people gathered from among nations, acquiring livestock and possessions, living at the center of the earth.

sheva udedan vesokhare tarshish vekhol-kefireha yomeru lekha halishlol shalal attah va halavoz baz hiqhaleta qehalekha laset kesef vezahav laqakhat miqneh veqinyan lishlol shalal gadol

Sheba and Dedan, and the merchants and all the magnates of Tarshish will say to you, “Have you come to take spoil? Is it to seize plunder that you assembled your hordes—to carry off silver and gold, to make off with livestock and goods, to gather an immense booty?”

lakhen hinnave ven-adam ve'amarta legog koh amar adonay Elohim halo bayyom hahu beshevet ammi yisra'el lavetakh teda

Therefore prophesy, O mortal, and say to Gog: Thus said the Sovereign GOD: Surely, on that day, when My people Israel are living secure, you will take note,

uvata mimmeqomekha miyyarkete tsafon attah ve'ammim rabbim ittakh rokheve susim kullam qahal gadol vekhayil rav

and you will come from your home in the farthest north, you and many peoples with you—all of them mounted on horses, a vast horde, a mighty army—

ve'alita al-ammi yisra'el ke'anan lekhassot ha'arets be'akharit hayyamim tihyeh vahavi'otikha al-artsi lema'an da'at haggoyim oti behiqqadeshi vekha le'enehem gog

and you will advance upon My people Israel, like a cloud covering the earth. This shall happen on that distant day: I will bring you to My land, that the nations may know Me when, before their eyes, I manifest My holiness through you, O Gog!

koh-amar adonay Elohim ha'attah-hu asher-dibbarti beyamim qadmonim beyad avaday nevi'e yisra'el hannibbe'im bayyamim hahem shanim lehavi otekha alehem

Thus said the Sovereign GOD: Why, you are the one I spoke of in ancient days through My servants, the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them!

vehayah bayyom hahu beyom bo gog al-admat yisra'el ne'um adonay Elohim ta'aleh khamati be'appi

On that day, when Gog sets foot on the soil of Israel—declares the Sovereign GOD—My raging anger shall flare up.

uveqinati ve'esh-evrati dibbarti im-lo bayyom hahu yihyeh ra'ash gadol al admat yisra'el

For I have decreed in My indignation and in My blazing wrath: On that day, a terrible earthquake shall befall the land of Israel.

vera'ashu mippanay dege hayyam ve'of hashamayim vekhayyat hassadeh vekhol-haremes haromes al-ha'adamah vekhol ha'adam asher al-pene ha'adamah venehersu heharim venafelu hammadregot vekhol-khomah la'arets tippol

The fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that move on the ground, and every human being on earth shall quake before Me. Mountains shall be overthrown, cliffs shall topple, and every wall shall crumble to the ground.

veqarati alayw lekhol-haray kherev ne'um adonay Elohim kherev ish be'akhiv tihyeh

I will then summon the sword against him throughout My mountains—declares the Sovereign GOD—and every man’s sword shall be turned against his kin.

venishpatti itto bedever uvedam vegeshem shotef ve'avne elgavish esh vegofrit amtir alayw ve'al-agappayw ve'al-ammim rabbim asher itto

I will punish him with pestilence and with bloodshed; and I will pour torrential rain, hailstones, and sulfurous fire upon him and his hordes and the many peoples with him.

vehitgaddilti vehitqaddishti venodati le'ene goyim rabbim veyade'u ki-ani Adonai

Thus will I manifest My greatness and My holiness, and make Myself known in the sight of many nations. And they shall know that I am GOD.
