1 "You, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: "Behold, I am against you, Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. 2 I will turn you around, will lead you on, and will cause you to come up from the uttermost parts of the north; and I will bring you onto the mountains of Israel. 3 I will strike your bow out of your left hand, and will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand. 4 You will fall on the mountains of Israel, you, and all your hordes, and the peoples who are with you. I will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort and to the animals of the field to be devoured. 5 You will fall on the open field, for I have spoken it," says the Lord Yahweh. 6 "I will send a fire on Magog and on those who dwell securely in the islands. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.
7 "‘"I will make my holy name known among my people Israel. I won’t allow my holy name to be profaned any more. Then the nations will know that I am Yahweh, the Holy One in Israel. 8 Behold, it comes, and it will be done," says the Lord Yahweh. "This is the day about which I have spoken.
9 "‘"Those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and will make fires of the weapons and burn them, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the war clubs and the spears, and they will make fires with them for seven years; 10 so that they will take no wood out of the field, and not cut down any out of the forests; for they will make fires with the weapons. They will plunder those who plundered them, and rob those who robbed them," says the Lord Yahweh.
11 "‘"It will happen in that day, that I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the valley of those who pass through on the east of the sea; and it will stop those who pass through. They will bury Gog and all his multitude there, and they will call it ‘The valley of Hamon Gog’.
12 "‘"The house of Israel will be burying them for seven months, that they may cleanse the land. 13 Yes, all the people of the land will bury them; and they will become famous in the day that I will be glorified," says the Lord Yahweh.
14 "‘"They will set apart men of continual employment who will pass through the land. Those who pass through will go with those who bury those who remain on the surface of the land, to cleanse it. After the end of seven months they will search. 15 Those who search through the land will pass through; and when anyone sees a man’s bone, then he will set up a sign by it, until the undertakers have buried it in the valley of Hamon Gog. 16 Hamonah will also be the name of a city. Thus they will cleanse the land."’
17 "You, son of man, the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Speak to the birds of every sort, and to every animal of the field, "Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat meat and drink blood. 18 You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan. 19 You shall eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 20 You shall be filled at my table with horses and charioteers, with mighty men, and with all men of war," says the Lord Yahweh.’
21 "I will set my glory among the nations. Then all the nations will see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid on them. 22 So the house of Israel will know that I am Yahweh their God, from that day and forward. 23 The nations will know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity, because they trespassed against me, and I hid my face from them; so I gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they all fell by the sword. 24 I did to them according to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions. I hid my face from them.
25 "Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Now I will reverse the captivity of Jacob and have mercy on the whole house of Israel. I will be jealous for my holy name. 26 They will forget their shame and all their trespasses by which they have trespassed against me, when they dwell securely in their land. No one will make them afraid 27 when I have brought them back from the peoples, gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am shown holy among them in the sight of many nations. 28 They will know that I am Yahweh their God, in that I caused them to go into captivity among the nations, and have gathered them to their own land. Then I will leave none of them captive any more. 29 I won’t hide my face from them any more, for I have poured out my Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord Yahweh."
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.
