1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens :1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Fili hominis, pone faciem tuam contra Gog, terram Magog, principem capitis Mosoch et Thubal, et vaticinare de eo.2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Mosoch and Thubal: and prophesy of him,
3 Et dices ad eum : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus :
Ecce ego ad te, Gog, principem capitis Mosoch et Thubal.
3 And say to him: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I come against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Mosoch and Thubal.
4 Et circumagam te, et ponam frenum in maxillis tuis :
et educam te, et omnem exercitum tuum,
equos et equites vestitos loricis universos,
multitudinem magnam, hastam et clypeum arripientium et gladium.
4 And I will turn thee about, and I will put a bit in thy jaws: and I will bring thee forth, and ail thy army, horses and horsemen all clothed with coats of mail, a great multitude, armed with spears and shields and swords.
5 Persæ, Æthiopes, et Libyes cum eis,
omnes scutati et galeati.
5 The Persians, Ethiopians, and Libyans with them, all with shields and helmets.
6 Gomer et universa agmina ejus,
domus Thogorma, latera aquilonis,
et totum robur ejus, populique multi tecum.
6 Gomer, and all his bands, the house of Thogorma, the northern parts and all his strength, and many peoples with thee.
7 Præpara et instrue te,
et omnem multitudinem tuam quæ coacervata est ad te :
et esto eis in præceptum.
7 Prepare and make thyself ready, and all thy multitude that is assembled about thee, and be thou commander over them.
8 Post dies multos visitaberis :
in novissimo annorum venies ad terram quæ reversa est a gladio,
et congregata est de populis multis ad montes Israël,
qui fuerunt deserti jugiter :
hæc de populis educta est,
et habitabunt in ea confidenter universi.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: at the end of years thou shalt come to the land that is returned from the sword, and is gathered out of many nations, to the mountains of Israel which have been continually waste: but it hath been brought forth out of the nations, and they shall all of them dwell securely in
9 Ascendens autem quasi tempestas venies,
et quasi nubes, ut operias terram :
tu et omnia agmina tua,
et populi multi tecum.
9 And thou shalt go up and come like a storm, and like a cloud to cover the land, thou and all thy bands and many people with thee.
10 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus :
In die illa, ascendent sermones super cor tuum,
et cogitabis cogitationem pessimam :
10 Thus saith the Lord God: In that day projects shall enter into thy heart, and thou shalt conceive a mischievous design.
11 et dices : Ascendam ad terram absque muro :
veniam ad quiescentes habitantesque secure :
hi omnes habitant sine muro ;
vectes et portæ non sunt eis :
11 And thou shalt say: I will go up to the land which is without a wall, I will come to them that are at rest, and dwell securely: all these dwell without a wall, they have no bars nor gates :
12 ut diripias spolia, et invadas prædam ;
ut inferas manum tuam super eos qui deserti fuerant, et postea restituti,
et super populum qui est congregatus ex gentibus,
qui possidere cœpit et esse habitator umbilici terræ.
12 To take spoils, and lay hold on the prey, to lay thy hand upon them that had been wasted, and afterwards restored, and upon the people that is gathered together out of the nations, which hath begun to possess and to dwell in the midst of the earth.
13 Saba, et Dedan, et negotiatores Tharsis,
et omnes leones ejus, dicent tibi :
Numquid ad sumenda spolia tu venis ?
ecce ad diripiendam prædam congregasti multitudinem tuam,
ut tollas argentum et aurum,
et auferas supellectilem atque substantiam,
et diripias manubias infinitas.
13 Saba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tharsis, and all the lions thereof shall say to thee: Art thou come to take spoils? behold, thou hast gathered thy multitude to take a prey, to take silver, and gold, and to carry away goods and substance, and to take rich spoils.
14 Propterea vaticinare, fili hominis, et dices ad Gog :
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus :
Numquid non in die illo,
cum habitaverit populus meus Israël confidenter,
scies ?
14 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy and say to Cog: Thus saith the Lord God: Shalt thou not know, in that day, when my people of Israel shall dwell securely?
15 Et venies de loco tuo a lateribus aquilonis,
tu et populi multi tecum,
ascensores equorum universi :
cœtus magnus, et exercitus vehemens.
15 And then shalt come out of thy place from the northern parts, thou and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company and a mighty army.
16 Et ascendes super populum meum Israël
quasi nubes, ut operias terram.
In novissimis diebus eris,
et adducam te super terram meam :
ut sciant gentes me
cum sanctificatus fuero in te in oculis eorum, o Gog !
16 And thou shalt come upon my people of Israel like a cloud, to cover the earth. Thou shalt be in the latter days, and I will bring thee upon my land: that the nations may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus :
Tu ergo ille es, de quo locutus sum in diebus antiquis
in manu servorum meorum prophetarum Israël,
qui prophetaverunt in diebus illorum temporum,
ut adducerem te super eos.
17 Thus saith the Lord God: Thou then art he, of whom I have spoken in the days of old, by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in the days of those times that I would bring thee upon them.
18 Et erit in die illa,
in die adventus Gog super terram Israël,
ait Dominus Deus,
ascendet indignatio mea in furore meo.
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, in the day of the coming of Gog upon the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my indignation shall come up in my wrath.
19 Et in zelo meo, in igne iræ meæ locutus sum,
quia in die illa erit commotio magna super terram Israël :
19 And I have spoken in my zeal, and in the fire of my anger, that in that day there shall be a great commotion upon the land of Israel:
20 et commovebuntur a facie mea pisces maris,
et volucres cæli, et bestiæ agri,
et omne reptile quod movetur super humum,
cunctique homines qui sunt super faciem terræ :
et subvertentur montes, et cadent sepes,
et omnis murus corruet in terram.
20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the birds of the air, and the beasts of the field, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the ground, and all men that are upon the face of the earth, shall be moved at my presence: and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the hedges shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 Et convocabo adversus eum in cunctis montibus meis gladium,
ait Dominus Deus :
gladius uniuscujusque in fratrem suum dirigetur.
21 And I will call in the sword against him in all my mountains, saith the Lord God: every man's sword shall be pointed against his brother.
22 Et judicabo eum peste, et sanguine,
et imbre vehementi, et lapidibus immensis :
ignem et sulphur pluam super eum,
et super exercitum ejus,
et super populos multos qui sunt cum eo.
22 And I will judge him with pestilence, and with blood, and with violent rain, and vast hailstones: I will rain fire and brimstone upon him, and upon his army, and upon the many nations that are with him.
23 Et magnificabor, et sanctificabor,
et notus ero in oculis multarum gentium :
et scient quia ego Dominus.
23 And I will be magnified, and I will be sanctified: and I will be known in the eyes of many nations: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
