1 En jy, mensekind, profeteer teen Gog en sê: So spreek die Here HERE: Kyk, Ek het dit teen jou, o Gog, vors van Ros, Meseg en Tubal.
2 En Ek sal jou weglok en jou lei en jou laat optrek uit die agterhoeke van die Noorde en jou laat kom op die berge van Israel.
3 Maar Ek sal jou boog uit jou linkerhand slaan en jou pyle uit jou regterhand laat val.
4 Op die berge van Israel sal jy val, jy en al jou leërs en die volke wat saam met jou is; aan die roofvoëls van allerhande vere en aan die wilde diere van die veld het Ek jou as voedsel gegee.
5 Op die oop veld sal jy val; want Ek het dit gesê, spreek die Here HERE.
6 En Ek sal 'n vuur slinger in Magog en onder hulle wat in die kuslande veilig woon; en hulle sal weet dat Ek die HERE is.
7 En Ek sal my heilige Naam bekend maak onder my volk Israel en sal my heilige Naam nie meer laat ontheilig nie; en die nasies sal weet dat Ek die HERE is, die Heilige in Israel.
8 Kyk, dit kom en gebeur, spreek die Here HERE. Dit is die dag waarvan Ek gespreek het.
9 En die inwoners van die stede van Israel sal uitgaan en vuur maak en stook met die wapens: klein en groot skilde, met boë en pyle en knopkieries en spiese; en hulle sal daarmee vuur maak sewe jaar lank;
10 sodat hulle geen hout uit die veld sal dra of in die bosse sal kap nie, maar met die wapens vuur sal maak; en hulle sal plunder die wat hulle geplunder het, en berowe die wat hulle beroof het, spreek die Here HERE.
11 En in die dag sal Ek aan Gog 'n plek gee waar 'n graf sal wees in Israel, die dal van die trekkers aan die oostekant van die see, en dit sal vir die deurtrekkers die pad toemaak; en daar sal hulle Gog begrawe en sy hele menigte en dit noem: Die dal van Gog se menigte.
12 En die huis van Israel sal hulle begrawe om die land te reinig, sewe maande lank.
13 En al die mense van die land sal begrawe, en dit sal hulle roem wees, die dag as Ek My verheerlik, spreek die Here HERE.
14 Ook sal hulle vaste manne afsonder wat die land deurgaan en die trekkers begrawe wat bo-op die grond oorgebly het, om dit te reinig. Aan die einde van sewe maande sal hulle 'n ondersoek instel,
15 en sien een van hulle wat deur die land trek, 'n mensebeen, dan rig hy daarby 'n merkteken op, totdat die begrawers dit begrawe het in die dal van Gog se menigte.
16 En ook sal die naam van 'n stad wees Hamona. So sal hulle dan die land reinig.
17 En jy, mensekind, so spreek die Here HERE: Sê vir die voëls van allerhande vere en vir al die wilde diere van die veld: Kom bymekaar en kom aan, versamel julle van alle kante by my slagoffer wat Ek vir julle slag, 'n groot slagoffer op die berge van Israel; en eet vlees en drink bloed!
18 Vlees van die helde sal julle eet en bloed van die vorste van die aarde drink -- ramme, lammers en bokke en stiere, vetgemaakte diere van Basan almal saam --
19 vet sal julle eet totdat julle versadig is, en bloed drink totdat julle dronk is, van my slagoffer wat Ek vir julle geslag het.
20 En julle sal aan my tafel versadig word van perde en ruiters, van helde en alle soorte krygsmanne, spreek die Here HERE.
21 En Ek sal my heerlikheid onder die nasies bring, en al die nasies sal my strafgerig sien wat Ek voltrek het, en my hand wat Ek op hulle gelê het.
22 En die huis van Israel sal weet dat Ek die HERE hulle God is, van die dag af en verder.
23 En die nasies sal weet dat die huis van Israel vanweë hulle ongeregtigheid in ballingskap gegaan het; omdat hulle teen My troubreuk begaan het, het Ek my aangesig vir hulle verberg en hulle in die hand van hul teëstanders oorgegee, sodat hulle almal deur die swaard geval het.
24 Volgens hulle onreinheid en hulle oortredinge het Ek met hulle gehandel en my aangesig vir hulle verberg.
25 Daarom, so sê die Here HERE: Nou sal Ek die lot van Jakob verander en My ontferm oor die hele huis van Israel en ywer vir my heilige Naam.
26 En hulle sal hul smaad vergeet en al hul ontrou wat hulle teen My begaan het, as hulle in hul land veilig woon en daar niemand is wat hulle verskrik nie.
27 As Ek hulle terugbring uit die volke en hulle versamel uit die lande van hulle vyande, sal Ek My in hulle as die Heilige laat ken voor die oë van baie nasies.
28 En hulle sal weet dat Ek, die HERE, hulle God is, daaraan dat Ek hulle in ballingskap laat gaan het na die nasies, maar hulle weer versamel het in hulle land en d r niemand meer uit hulle agter laat bly het nie.
29 En Ek sal my aangesig nie meer vir hulle verberg nie, omdat Ek my Gees oor die huis van Israel uitgegiet het, spreek die Here HERE.
1 And you, son of man, be a prophet against Gog, and say, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am against you, O Gog, ruler of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:
2 And turning you round, I will be your guide, and make you come up from the inmost parts of the north; I will make you come on to the mountains of Israel:
3 And with a blow I will send your bow out of your left hand and your arrows falling from your right hand.
4 On the mountains of Israel you will come down, you and all your forces and the peoples who are with you: I will give you to cruel birds of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be their food.
5 You will come down in the open field: for I have said it, says the Lord.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and on those who are living in the sea-lands without fear: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
7 And I will make clear my holy name among my people Israel; I will no longer let my holy name be made unclean: and the nations will be certain that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.
8 See, it is coming and it will be done, says the Lord; this is the day of which I have given word.
9 And those who are living in the towns of Israel will go out and make fires of the instruments of war, burning the body-covers and the breastplates, the bows and the arrows and the sticks and the spears, and for seven years they will make fires of them:
10 And they will take no wood out of the field or have any cut down in the woods; for they will make their fires of the instruments of war: and they will take by force the property of those who took their property, and go off with the goods of those who took their goods, says the Lord.
11 And it will come about in those days, that I will give to Gog a last resting-place there in Israel, in the valley of Abarim on the east of the sea: and those who go through will be stopped: and there Gog and all his people will be put to rest, and the place will be named, The valley of Hamon-gog.
12 And the children of Israel will be seven months putting them in the earth, so as to make the land clean.
13 And all the people of the land will put them in the earth; and it will be to their honour in the day when I let my glory be seen, says the Lord.
14 And they will put on one side men to do no other work but to go through the land and put in the earth the rest of those who are still on the face of the land, to make it clean: after seven months are ended they are to make a search.
15 And while they go through the land, if anyone sees a man's bone, he is to put up a sign by the place till those who are doing the work have put it in the earth in the valley of Hamon-gog.
16 And there they will put all the army of Gog in the earth. So they will make the land clean.
17 And you, son of man, this is what the Lord has said: Say to the birds of every sort and to all the beasts of the field, Get together and come; come together on every side to the offering which I am putting to death for you, a great offering on the mountains of Israel, so that you may have flesh for your food and blood for your drink.
18 The flesh of the men of war will be your food, and your drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of sheep and lambs, of he-goats, of oxen, all of them fat beasts of Bashan.
19 You will go on feasting on the fat till you are full, and drinking the blood till you are overcome with it, of my offering which I have put to death for you.
20 At my table you will have food in full measure, horses and war-carriages, great men and all the men of war, says the Lord.
21 And I will put my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see my punishments which I have put into effect, and my hand which I have put on them.
22 So the children of Israel will be certain that I am the Lord their God, from that day and for the future.
23 And it will be clear to the nations that the children of Israel were taken away prisoners for their evil-doing; because they did wrong against me, and my face was covered from them: so I gave them up into the hands of their attackers, and they all came to their end by the sword.
24 In the measure of their unclean ways and their sins, so I did to them; and I kept my face covered from them.
25 For this cause the Lord has said, Now I will let the fate of Jacob be changed, and I will have mercy on all the children of Israel, and will take care of the honour of my holy name.
26 And they will be conscious of their shame and of all the wrong which they have done against me, when they are living in their land with no sense of danger and with no one to be a cause of fear to them;
27 When I have taken them back from among the peoples and got them together out of the lands of their haters, and have made myself holy in them before the eyes of a great number of nations.
28 And they will be certain that I am the Lord their God, because I sent them away as prisoners among the nations, and have taken them together back to their land; and I have not let one of them be there any longer.
29 And my face will no longer be covered from them: for I have sent the out-flowing of my spirit on the children of Israel, says the Lord.
