1 Veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo: 2 Filho do homem, volve o rosto contra Gogue, da terra de Magogue, príncipe de Rôs, de Meseque e Tubal; profetiza contra ele 3 e dize: Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Eis que eu sou contra ti, ó Gogue, príncipe de Rôs, de Meseque e Tubal. 4 Far-te-ei que te volvas, porei anzóis no teu queixo e te levarei a ti e todo o teu exército, cavalos e cavaleiros, todos vestidos de armamento completo, grande multidão, com pavês e escudo, empunhando todos a espada; 5 persas e etíopes e Pute com eles, todos com escudo e capacete; 6 Gômer e todas as suas tropas; a casa de Togarma, do lado do Norte, e todas as suas tropas, muitos povos contigo.

7 Prepara-te, sim, dispõe-te, tu e toda a multidão do teu povo que se reuniu a ti, e serve-lhe de guarda. 8 Depois de muitos dias, serás visitado; no fim dos anos, virás à terra que se recuperou da espada, ao povo que se congregou dentre muitos povos sobre os montes de Israel, que sempre estavam desolados; este povo foi tirado de entre os povos, e todos eles habitarão seguramente. 9 Então, subirás, virás como tempestade, far-te-ás como nuvem que cobre a terra, tu, e todas as tuas tropas, e muitos povos contigo.

10 Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Naquele dia, terás imaginações no teu coração e conceberás mau desígnio; 11 e dirás: Subirei contra a terra das aldeias sem muros, virei contra os que estão em repouso, que vivem seguros, que habitam, todos, sem muros e não têm ferrolhos nem portas; 12 isso a fim de tomares o despojo, arrebatares a presa e levantares a mão contra as terras desertas que se acham habitadas e contra o povo que se congregou dentre as nações, o qual tem gado e bens e habita no meio da terra. 13 Sabá e Dedã, e os mercadores de Társis, e todos os seus governadores rapaces te dirão: Vens tu para tomar o despojo? Ajuntaste o teu bando para arrebatar a presa, para levar a prata e o ouro, para tomar o gado e as possessões, para saquear grandes despojos?

14 Portanto, ó filho do homem, profetiza e dize a Gogue: Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Acaso, naquele dia, quando o meu povo de Israel habitar seguro, não o saberás tu? 15 Virás, pois, do teu lugar, dos lados do Norte, tu e muitos povos contigo, montados todos a cavalo, grande multidão e poderoso exército; 16 e subirás contra o meu povo de Israel, como nuvem, para cobrir a terra. Nos últimos dias, hei de trazer-te contra a minha terra, para que as nações me conheçam a mim, quando eu tiver vindicado a minha santidade em ti, ó Gogue, perante elas.

17 Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Não és tu aquele de quem eu disse nos dias antigos, por intermédio dos meus servos, os profetas de Israel, os quais, então, profetizaram, durante anos, que te faria vir contra eles? 18 Naquele dia, quando vier Gogue contra a terra de Israel, diz o Senhor Deus, a minha indignação será mui grande. 19 Pois, no meu zelo, no brasume do meu furor, disse que, naquele dia, será fortemente sacudida a terra de Israel, 20 de tal sorte que os peixes do mar, e as aves do céu, e os animais do campo, e todos os répteis que se arrastam sobre a terra, e todos os homens que estão sobre a face da terra tremerão diante da minha presença; os montes serão deitados abaixo, os precipícios se desfarão, e todos os muros desabarão por terra. 21 Chamarei contra Gogue a espada em todos os meus montes, diz o Senhor Deus; a espada de cada um se voltará contra o seu próximo. 22 Contenderei com ele por meio da peste e do sangue; chuva inundante, grandes pedras de saraiva, fogo e enxofre farei cair sobre ele, sobre as suas tropas e sobre os muitos povos que estiverem com ele. 23 Assim, eu me engrandecerei, vindicarei a minha santidade e me darei a conhecer aos olhos de muitas nações; e saberão que eu sou o Senhor.

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

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

3 And say, Thus said the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

4 And I will turn you back, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you forth, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armor, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:

6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with you.

7 Be you prepared, and prepare for yourself, you, and all your company that are assembled to you, and be you a guard to them.

8 After many days you shall be visited: in the latter years you shall come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.

9 You shall ascend and come like a storm, you shall be like a cloud to cover the land, you, and all your bands, and many people with you.

10 Thus said the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into your mind, and you shall think an evil thought:

11 And you shall say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,

12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn your hand on the desolate places that are now inhabited, and on the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the middle of the land.

13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say to you, Are you come to take a spoil? have you gathered your company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, Thus said the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwells safely, shall you not know it?

15 And you shall come from your place out of the north parts, you, and many people with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company, and a mighty army:

16 And you shall come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring you against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in you, O Gog, before their eyes.

17 Thus said the Lord GOD; Are you he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring you against them?

18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, said the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.

19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;

20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all the men that are on the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, said the Lord GOD: every man' sword shall be against his brother.

22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain on him, and on his bands, and on the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.

23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
