1. "Son of man, speak against Gog for me. Tell him that this is what the Lord God says: 'Gog, you are the most important leader of the countries Meshech and Tubal, but I am against you.
|
1. Therefore, thou H859 son H1121 of man H120 , prophesy H5012 against H5921 Gog H1463 , and say H559 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Behold H2009 , I am against H413 thee , O Gog H1463 , the chief H7218 prince H5387 of Meshech H4902 and Tubal H8422 :
|
|
2. I will capture you and bring you back. I will bring you from the far north. I will bring you to fight against the mountains of Israel.
|
2. And I will turn thee back H7725 , and leave but the sixth part H8338 of thee , and will cause thee to come up H5927 from the north H6828 parts H4480 H3411 , and will bring H935 thee upon H5921 the mountains H2022 of Israel H3478 :
|
|
3. But I will knock your bow from your left hand and your arrows from your right hand.
|
3. And I will smite H5221 thy bow H7198 out of thy left H8040 hand H4480 H3027 , and will cause thine arrows H2671 to fall H5307 out of thy right H3225 hand H4480 H3027 .
|
|
4. You will be killed on the mountains of Israel. You, your groups of soldiers, and all the other nations with you will be killed in the battle. I will give you as food to every kind of bird that eats meat and to all the wild animals.
|
4. Thou shalt fall H5307 upon H5921 the mountains H2022 of Israel H3478 , thou H859 , and all H3605 thy bands H102 , and the people H5971 that H834 is with H854 thee : I will give H5414 thee unto the ravenous H5861 birds H6833 of every H3605 sort H3671 , and to the beasts H2416 of the field H7704 to be devoured H402 .
|
|
5. You will not enter the city. You will be killed out in the open fields. I have spoken!'" This is what the Lord God said.
|
5. Thou shalt fall H5307 upon H5921 the open H6440 field H7704 : for H3588 I H589 have spoken H1696 it , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
6. "I will send fire against Magog and those people living along the coast. They think they are safe, but they will know that I am the Lord.
|
6. And I will send H7971 a fire H784 on Magog H4031 , and among them that dwell H3427 carelessly H983 in the isles H339 : and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
7. And I will make my holy name known among my people Israel. I will not let people ruin my holy name anymore. The nations will know that I am the Lord. They will know that I am the Holy One in Israel.
|
7. So will I make H3045 my holy H6944 name H8034 known H3045 in the midst H8432 of my people H5971 Israel H3478 ; and I will not H3808 let them pollute H2490 H853 my holy H6944 name H8034 any more H5750 : and the heathen H1471 shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 , the Holy One H6918 in Israel H3478 .
|
|
8. That time is coming! It will happen!" This is what the Lord said. "That is the day I am talking about.
|
8. Behold H2009 , it is come H935 , and it is done H1961 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; this H1931 is the day H3117 whereof H834 I have spoken H1696 .
|
|
9. "At that time people living in the cities of Israel will go out to the fields. They will collect the enemy's weapons and burn them. They will burn all the shields, bows and arrows, clubs and spears. They will use the weapons as firewood for seven years.
|
9. And they that dwell H3427 in the cities H5892 of Israel H3478 shall go forth H3318 , and shall set on fire H1197 and burn H5400 the weapons H5402 , both the shields H4043 and the bucklers H6793 , the bows H7198 and the arrows H2671 , and the handstaves H4731 H3027 , and the spears H7420 , and they shall burn H1197 them with fire H784 seven H7651 years H8141 :
|
|
10. They will not have to gather wood from the fields or chop firewood from the forests because they will use the weapons as firewood. They will take the valuable things from the soldiers who wanted to steal from them. They will take the good things from the soldiers who took good things from them." This is what the Lord God said.
|
10. So that they shall take H5375 no H3808 wood H6086 out of H4480 the field H7704 , neither H3808 cut down H2404 any out of H4480 the forests H3293 ; for H3588 they shall burn H1197 the weapons H5402 with fire H784 : and they shall spoil H7997 H853 those that spoiled H7997 them , and rob H962 H853 those that robbed H962 them, saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
11. "At that time I will choose a place in Israel to bury Gog. He will be buried in the Valley of the Travelers, east of the Dead Sea. It will block the road for travelers, because Gog and all his army will be buried in that place. People will call it 'The Valley of Gog's Army.'
|
11. And it shall come to pass H1961 in that H1931 day H3117 , that I will give H5414 unto Gog H1463 a place H4725 there H8033 of graves H6913 in Israel H3478 , the valley H1516 of the passengers H5674 on the east H6926 of the sea H3220 : and it H1931 shall stop H2629 H853 the noses of the passengers H5674 : and there H8033 shall they bury H6912 H853 Gog H1463 and all H3605 his multitude H1995 : and they shall call H7121 it The valley H1516 of Hamon H1996 -gog.
|
|
12. It will take seven months for the family of Israel to bury them. They must do this to make the land pure.
|
12. And seven H7651 months H2320 shall the house H1004 of Israel H3478 be burying H6912 of them, that H4616 they may cleanse H2891 H853 the land H776 .
|
|
13. The common people will bury the enemy soldiers, and the people will become famous on the day that I bring honor to myself." The Lord God said those things.
|
13. Yea, all H3605 the people H5971 of the land H776 shall bury H6912 them ; and it shall be H1961 to them a renown H8034 the day H3117 that I shall be glorified H3513 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
14. "Workers will be given a full-time job burying the dead soldiers to make the land pure. The workers will work for seven months. They will go around looking for dead bodies.
|
14. And they shall sever out H914 men H376 of continual employment H8548 , passing H5674 through the land H776 to bury H6912 H853 with the passengers H5674 H853 those that remain H3498 upon H5921 the face H6440 of the earth H776 , to cleanse H2891 it : after the end H4480 H7097 of seven H7651 months H2320 shall they search H2713 .
|
|
15. They will go around looking, and if anyone sees a bone, a marker will be put up by it. The sign will stay there until the gravediggers come and bury the bone in the Valley of Gog's Army.
|
15. And the passengers H5674 that pass through H5674 the land H776 , when any seeth H7200 a man H120 's bone H6106 , then shall he set up H1129 a sign H6725 by H681 it, till H5704 the buriers H6912 have buried H6912 it in H413 the valley H1516 of Hamon H1996 -gog.
|
|
16. The city of the dead will be named Hamonah. In this way they will make the country pure."
|
16. And also H1571 the name H8034 of the city H5892 shall be Hamonah H1997 . Thus shall they cleanse H2891 the land H776 .
|
|
17. This is what the Lord God said: "Son of man, speak to all the birds and wild animals for me. Tell them, 'Come here! Come here! Gather around. Come eat this sacrifice I am preparing for you. There will be a very big sacrifice on the mountains of Israel. Come, eat the meat and drink the blood.
|
17. And, thou H859 son H1121 of man H120 , thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Speak H559 unto every H3605 feathered H3671 fowl H6833 , and to every H3605 beast H2416 of the field H7704 , Assemble yourselves H6908 , and come H935 ; gather yourselves H622 on every side H4480 H5439 to H5921 my sacrifice H2077 that H834 I H589 do sacrifice H2076 for you, even a great H1419 sacrifice H2077 upon H5921 the mountains H2022 of Israel H3478 , that ye may eat H398 flesh H1320 , and drink H8354 blood H1818 .
|
|
18. You will eat the meat from the bodies of powerful soldiers and drink the blood from world leaders. They will be like rams, lambs, goats, and fat bulls from Bashan.
|
18. Ye shall eat H398 the flesh H1320 of the mighty H1368 , and drink H8354 the blood H1818 of the princes H5387 of the earth H776 , of rams H352 , of lambs H3733 , and of goats H6260 , of bullocks H6499 , all H3605 of them fatlings H4806 of Bashan H1316 .
|
|
19. You can eat all the fat you want and drink blood until you are full. You will eat and drink from my sacrifice, which I will kill for you.
|
19. And ye shall eat H398 fat H2459 till ye be full H7654 , and drink H8354 blood H1818 till ye be drunken H7943 , of my sacrifice H4480 H2077 which H834 I have sacrificed H2076 for you.
|
|
20. You will have plenty of meat to eat at my table. There will be horses and chariot drivers, powerful soldiers, and all the other fighting men.'" This is what the Lord God said.
|
20. Thus ye shall be filled H7646 at H5921 my table H7979 with horses H5483 and chariots H7393 , with mighty men H1368 , and with all H3605 men H376 of war H4421 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
21. "I will let the other nations see what I have done, and they will begin to respect me! They will see my power that I used against the enemy.
|
21. And I will set H5414 H853 my glory H3519 among the heathen H1471 , and all H3605 the heathen H1471 shall see H7200 H853 my judgment H4941 that H834 I have executed H6213 , and my hand H3027 that H834 I have laid H7760 upon them.
|
|
22. Then from that day on, the family of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God.
|
22. So the house H1004 of Israel H3478 shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 their God H430 from H4480 that H1931 day H3117 and forward H1973 .
|
|
23. And the nations will know why the family of Israel was carried away as prisoners to other countries. They will learn that my people turned against me, so I turned away from them. I let their enemies defeat them, so my people were killed in battle.
|
23. And the heathen H1471 shall know H3045 that H3588 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 went into captivity H1540 for their iniquity H5771 : because H5921 H834 they trespassed H4603 against me , therefore hid H5641 I my face H6440 from H4480 them , and gave H5414 them into the hand H3027 of their enemies H6862 : so fell H5307 they all H3605 by the sword H2719 .
|
|
24. They sinned and made themselves filthy, so I punished them for the things they did. I turned away from them and refused to help them."
|
24. According to their uncleanness H2932 and according to their transgressions H6588 have I done H6213 unto them , and hid H5641 my face H6440 from H4480 them.
|
|
25. So this is what the Lord God says: "Now I will bring the family of Jacob back from captivity. I will have mercy on the whole family of Israel. I will show my strong feelings for my holy name.
|
25. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Now H6258 will I bring again H7725 H853 the captivity H7622 of Jacob H3290 , and have mercy H7355 upon the whole H3605 house H1004 of Israel H3478 , and will be jealous H7065 for my holy H6944 name H8034 ;
|
|
26. The people will forget their shame and all the times they turned against me. They will live in safety on their own land. No one will make them afraid.
|
26. After that they have borne H5375 H853 their shame H3639 , and all H3605 their trespasses H4604 whereby H834 they have trespassed H4603 against me , when they dwelt H3427 safely H983 in H5921 their land H127 , and none H369 made them afraid H2729 .
|
|
27. I will bring my people back from other countries. I will gather them from the lands of their enemies. Then many nations will see how holy I am.
|
27. When I have brought them again H7725 H853 from H4480 the people H5971 , and gathered H6908 them out of their enemies H341 ' lands H4480 H776 , and am sanctified H6942 in them in the sight H5869 of many H7227 nations H1471 ;
|
|
28. They will know that I am the Lord their God. That is because I made them leave their homes and go as prisoners to other countries. But then I gathered them together again and brought them back to their own land.
|
28. Then shall they know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 their God H430 , which caused them to be led into captivity H1540 among H413 the heathen H1471 : but I have gathered H3664 them unto H5921 their own land H127 , and have left H3498 none H3808 of H4480 them any more H5750 there H8033 .
|
|
29. I will pour out my Spirit on the family of Israel, and I will never turn away from my people again." This is what the Lord God said.
|
29. Neither H3808 will I hide H5641 my face H6440 any more H5750 from H4480 them: for H834 I have poured out H8210 H853 my spirit H7307 upon H5921 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
