Prophetia Ezechielis, 38

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 Lybies 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 congregata est de populis multis ad montes Israël qui fuerunt deserti jugiter hæc de populis educta est et habitaverunt 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 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. Seba 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 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 in terra corruet

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 adversum 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 inmensis 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 gentium multarum 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.
