1 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
1 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
2 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, στήρισον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπὶ Γὼγ, καὶ τὴν γῆν τοῦ Μαγὼγ, ἄρχοντα Ῥὼς Μεσὸχ, καὶ Θοβὲλ, καὶ προφήτευσον ἐπʼ αὐτόν.
2 “Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 Καὶ εἰπὸν αὐτῷ, τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος,
3 and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I am against you, Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal.
4 Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σὲ ἄρχοντα Ῥὼς Μεσὸχ, καὶ Θοβὲλ, καὶ συνάξω σε, καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμίν σου, ἵππους καὶ ἱππεῖς ἐνδεδυμένους θώρακας πάντας συναγωγῇ πολλῇ, πέλται καὶ περικεφαλαίαι καὶ μάχαιραι·
4 I will turn you around, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords;
5 Πέρσαι, καὶ Αἰθίοπες, καὶ Λίβυες, πάντες περικεφαλαίαις καὶ πέλταις,
5 Persia, Cush, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
6 Γομὲρ, καὶ πάντες οἱ περὶ αὐτὸν, οἶκος τοῦ Θοργαμὰ, ἀπʼ ἐσχάτου Βοῤῥᾶ, καὶ πάντες οἱ περὶ αὐτὸν, καὶ ἔθνη πολλὰ μετὰ σοῦ.
6 Gomer, and all his hordes; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his hordes—even many peoples with you.
7 Ἑτοιμάσθητι, ἑτοίμασον σεαυτὸν σὺ, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγή σου ἡ συνηγμένη μετὰ σοῦ, καὶ ἔσῃ μοι εἰς προφυλακήν.
7 “‘“Be prepared, yes, prepare yourself, you, and all your companies who are assembled to you, and be a guard to them.
8 Ἀφʼ ἡμερῶν πλειόνων ἑτοιμασθήσεται, καὶ ἐπʼ ἐσχάτου ἐτῶν ἐλεύσεται, καὶ ἥξει εἰς τὴν γῆν τὴν ἀπεστραμμένην ἀπὸ μαχαίρας, συνηγμένων ἀπὸ ἐθνῶν πολλῶν ἐπὶ γῆν Ἰσραὴλ, ἣ ἐγενήθη ἔρημος διʼ ὅλου· καὶ οὗτος ἐξ ἐθνῶν ἐξελήλυθε, καὶ κατοικήσουσιν ἐπʼ εἰρήνης ἅπαντες.
8 After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, on the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste; but it is brought out of the peoples and they will dwell securely, all of them.
9 Καὶ ἀναβήσῃ ὡς ὑετὸς, καὶ ἥξεις ὡς νεφέλη κατακαλύψαι γῆν, καὶ ἔσῃ σὺ καὶ πάντες οἱ περὶ σὲ, καὶ ἔθνη πολλὰ μετὰ σοῦ.
9 You will ascend. You will come like a storm. You will be like a cloud to cover the land, you and all your hordes, and many peoples with you.”
10 Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, ἀναβήσεται ῥήματα ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν σου, καὶ λογιῇ λογισμοὺς πονηροὺς,
10 “‘The Lord Yahweh says: “It will happen in that day that things will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.
11 καὶ ἐρεῖς, ἀναβήσομαι ἐπὶ γῆν ἀπεῤῥιμμένην, ἥξω ἐπὶ ἡσυχάζοντας ἐν τῇ ἡσυχίᾳ, καὶ οἰκοῦντας ἐπʼ εἰρήνης, πάντας κατοικοῦντας γῆν, ἐν ᾗ οὐχ ὑπάρχει τεῖχος, οὐδὲ μοχλοὶ, καὶ θύραι οὐκ εἰσὶν αὐτοῖς,
11 You will say, ‘I will go up to the land of unwalled villages. I will go to those who are at rest, who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 προνομεῦσαι προνομὴν, καὶ σκῦλα σκυλεῦσαι αὐτῶν, τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι χεῖράς μου εἰς τὴν ἠρημωμένην ἣ κατῳκίσθη, καὶ ἐπʼ ἔθνος συνηγμένον ἀπὸ ἐθνῶν πολλῶν, πεποιηκότας κτήσεις, κατοικοῦντας ἐπὶ τὸν ὀμφαλὸν τῆς γῆς.
12 to take the plunder and to take prey; to turn your hand against the waste places that are inhabited, and against the people who are gathered out of the nations, who have gotten livestock and goods, who dwell in the middle of the earth.’
13 Σαββὰ, καὶ Δαιδὰν, καὶ ἔμποροι Καρχηδόνιοι, καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ κῶμαι αὐτῶν ἐροῦσί σοι, εἰς προνομὴν τοῦ προνομεῦσαι σὺ ἔρχῃ, καὶ σκυλεῦσαι σκῦλα, συνήγαγες συναγωγήν σου λαβεῖν ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον, ἀπενέγκασθαι κτῆσιν, τοῦ σκυλεῦσαι σκῦλα.
13 Sheba, Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all its young lions, will ask you, ‘Have you come to take the plunder? Have you assembled your company to take the prey, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’”’
14 Διατοῦτο προφήτευσον υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, καὶ εἰπὸν τῷ Γὼγ, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, οὐκ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, ἐν τῷ κατοικισθῆναι τὸν λαόν μου Ἰσραὴλ ἐπʼ εἰρήνης, ἐγερθήσῃ,
14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and tell Gog, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “In that day when my people Israel dwells securely, will you not know it?
15 καὶ ἥξεις ἐκ τοῦ τόπου σου ἀπʼ ἐσχάτου Βοῤῥᾶ, καὶ ἔθνη πολλὰ μετὰ σοῦ; ἀναβάται ἵππων πάντες, συναγωγὴ μεγάλη καὶ δύναμις πολλή.
15 You will come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you, and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army.
16 Καὶ ἀναβήσῃ ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου Ἰσραὴλ ὡς νεφέλη καλύψαι γῆν· ἐπʼ ἐσχάτων τῶν ἡμερῶν ἔσται, καὶ ἀνάξω σε ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν μου, ἵνα γνῶσι πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἐμὲ, ἐν τῷ ἁγιασθῆναί με ἐν σοὶ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν.
16 You will come up against my people Israel as a cloud to cover the land. It will happen in the latter days that I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me when I am sanctified in you, Gog, before their eyes.”
17 Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος τῷ Γὼγ, σὺ εἶ περὶ οὗ ἐλάλησα πρὸ ἡμερῶν τῶν ἔμπροσθεν, διὰ χειρὸς τῶν δούλων μου τῶν προφητῶν τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις καὶ ἔτεσι, τοῦ ἀναγαγεῖν σε ἐπʼ αὐτούς.
17 “‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Are you he of whom I spoke in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for years that I would bring you against them?
18 Καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἂν ἔλθῃ Γὼγ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν Ἰσραὴλ, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἀναβήσεται ὁ θυμός μου,
18 It will happen in that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord Yahweh, “that my wrath will come up into my nostrils.
19 καὶ ὁ ζῆλός μου· ἐν πυρὶ τῆς ὀργῆς μου ἐλάλησα, εἰ μὴν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἔσται σεισμὸς μέγας ἐπὶ γῆς Ἰσραήλ·
19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath I have spoken. Surely in that day there will be a great shaking in the land of Israel,
20 Καὶ σεισθήσονται ἀπὸ προσώπου Κυρίου οἱ ἰχθύες τῆς θαλάσσης, καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ τὰ θηρία τοῦ πεδίου, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἑρπετὰ τὰ ἕρποντα ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνθρωποι οἱ ἐπὶ προσώπου τῆς γῆς, καὶ ῥαγήσεται τὰ ὄρη, καὶ πεσοῦνται αἱ φάραγγες, καὶ πᾶν τεῖχος ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν πεσεῖται.
20 so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, all creeping things who creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the surface of the earth will shake at my presence. Then the mountains will be thrown down, the steep places will fall, and every wall will fall to the ground.
21 Καὶ καλέσω ἐπʼ αὐτὸ καὶ πᾶν φόβον, λέγει Κύριος· μάχαιρα ἀνθρώπου ἐπὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ ἔσται.
21 I will call for a sword against him to all my mountains,” says the Lord Yahweh. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother.
22 Καὶ κρινῶ αὐτὸν θανάτῳ, καὶ αἵματι, καὶ ὑετῷ κατακλύζοντι, καὶ λίθοις χαλάζης, καὶ πῦρ καὶ θεῖον βρέξω ἐπʼ αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπʼ ἔθνη πολλὰ μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
22 I will enter into judgment with him with pestilence and with blood. I will rain on him, on his hordes, and on the many peoples who are with him, torrential rains with great hailstones, fire, and sulfur.
23 Καὶ μεγαλυνθήσομαι, καὶ ἁγιασθήσομαι, καὶ ἐνδοξασθήσομαι, καὶ γνωσθήσομαι ἐναντίον ἐθνῶν πολλῶν, καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος.
23 I will magnify myself and sanctify myself, and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.”’
