1La parola del Signore mi fu rivolta in questi termini:2«Figlio d’uomo, rivolgi la tua faccia verso Gog del paese di Magog, principe sovrano di Mesec e di Tubal, profetizza contro di lui3e di’: Così parla il Signore, Dio: “Eccomi da te, o Gog, principe sovrano di Mesec e di Tubal!4Io ti condurrò via, ti metterò degli uncini nelle mascelle e ti tirerò fuori, te e tutto il tuo esercito, cavalli e cavalieri, tutti quanti vestiti pomposamente, gran moltitudine con scudi grandi e piccoli, tutti forniti di spada;5e con loro Persiani, Etiopi e gente di Put[1], tutti con scudi ed elmi.6Gomer e tutte le sue schiere, la casa di Togarma dell’estremità del settentrione e tutte le sue schiere; dei popoli numerosi saranno con te.7Mettiti in ordine, prepàrati, tu con tutte le tue moltitudini che si radunano attorno a te, e sii tu per essi colui al quale si ubbidisce.8Dopo molti giorni tu riceverai l’ordine; negli ultimi anni verrai contro il paese sottratto alla spada, contro la nazione raccolta in mezzo a molti popoli, sui monti d’Israele, che sono stati per tanto tempo deserti; ma, fatta uscire dai popoli, essa abiterà tutta quanta al sicuro.9Tu salirai, verrai come un uragano; sarai come una nuvola che sta per coprire il paese, tu con tutte le tue schiere e con i popoli numerosi che sono con te”.10Così parla il Signore, Dio: “In quel giorno, dei pensieri ti sorgeranno in cuore e concepirai un malvagio disegno.11Dirai: ‘Io salirò contro questo paese di villaggi aperti; piomberò su questa gente che vive tranquilla e abita al sicuro, che risiede tutta in luoghi senza mura e non ha né sbarre né porte’.12Verrai per far bottino e saccheggiare, per stendere la tua mano contro queste rovine ora ripopolate, contro questo popolo raccolto in mezzo alle nazioni, che si è procurato bestiame e proprietà e abita sulle alture del paese.13Seba, Dedan, i mercanti di Tarsis e tutti i suoi leoncelli ti diranno: ‘Vieni tu per far bottino? Hai radunato la tua moltitudine per saccheggiare, per portare via l’argento e l’oro, per pigliare bestiame e beni, per fare un gran bottino?’”.14Perciò, figlio d’uomo, profetizza, e di’ a Gog: Così parla il Signore, Dio: “In quel giorno, quando il mio popolo Israele abiterà al sicuro, tu lo saprai.15Verrai dal luogo dove stai, dall’estremità del settentrione, tu con dei popoli numerosi con te, tutti quanti a cavallo, una grande moltitudine, un potente esercito;16salirai contro il mio popolo Israele, come una nuvola che sta per coprire il paese. Questo avverrà alla fine dei giorni: io ti condurrò contro il mio paese affinché le nazioni mi conoscano, quando io mi santificherò in te sotto gli occhi loro, o Gog!”17Così parla il Signore, Dio: “Non sei tu quello di cui io parlai ai tempi antichi mediante i miei servi, i profeti d’Israele, i quali profetizzarono allora, per degli anni, che io ti avrei fatto marciare contro di loro?18In quel giorno, nel giorno che Gog verrà contro la terra d’Israele”, dice il Signore, Dio, “il mio furore mi monterà nelle narici;19nella mia gelosia, nel fuoco della mia ira, io lo dico, certo, in quel giorno, vi sarà un grande sconvolgimento nel paese d’Israele:20i pesci del mare, gli uccelli del cielo, le bestie dei campi, tutti i rettili che strisciano sul suolo e tutti gli uomini che sono sulla faccia della terra tremeranno alla mia presenza; i monti saranno rovesciati, le balze crolleranno e tutte le mura cadranno al suolo.21Io chiamerò contro di lui la spada su tutti i miei monti”, dice il Signore, Dio; “la spada di ognuno si volgerà contro il proprio fratello.22Verrò in giudizio contro di lui, con la peste e con il sangue; farò piovere torrenti di pioggia e grandine, fuoco e zolfo, su di lui, sulle sue schiere e sui popoli numerosi che saranno con lui.23Così mostrerò la mia potenza e mi santificherò; mi farò conoscere agli occhi di molte nazioni, ed esse sapranno che io sono il Signore”.
Drohrede gegen Gog aus Magog und das furchtbare Gericht über ihn
1Und das Wort des HERRN geschah zu mir so:2Menschensohn, richte dein Gesicht gegen Gog ⟨zum⟩ Land Magog, ⟨gegen⟩ den Fürsten von Rosch, Meschech und Tubal[1], und weissage über ihn (Gen 10,2; Ez 27,13; Ap 20,8)3und sprich: So spricht der Herr, HERR: Siehe, ich will an dich, Gog, Fürst von Rosch, Meschech und Tubal[2].4Und ich lenke dich herum und lege Haken in deine Kinnbacken; und ich führe dich heraus und dein ganzes Heer, Pferde und Reiter, sie alle prächtig gekleidet, ein großes Aufgebot mit Langschild und Kleinschild, schwertführend sie alle: (2Re 19,28; Is 37,29; Ez 29,4)5⟨Söldner aus⟩ Paras, Kusch und Put mit ihnen, sie alle ⟨mit⟩ Kleinschild und Helm, (Ez 27,10)6Gomer und alle seine Scharen, das Haus Togarma im äußersten Norden und alle seine Scharen, viele Völker mit dir. (Gen 10,2; Ez 27,14; Ez 32,30; Ap 20,8)7Rüste dich, und rüste dir ⟨alles⟩ zu, du und dein ganzes Aufgebot, das zu dir hin aufgeboten ist, und steh mir[3] zur Verfügung!8Nach vielen Tagen sollst du aufgeboten werden[4]; am Ende der Jahre sollst du in ein Land kommen, das vom Schwert wiederhergestellt, das aus vielen Völkern gesammelt ist, auf die Berge Israels, die für lange Zeit[5] zur Trümmerstätte geworden waren; das ist aus den Völkern herausgeführt worden, und sie wohnen in Sicherheit allesamt. (Is 8,9; Ez 34,25; Ez 36,24)9Und du wirst hinaufziehen, wie ein Sturm herankommen, wirst sein wie eine Wolke, das Land zu bedecken, du und alle deine Scharen und viele Völker mit dir. (Da 11,40)10So spricht der Herr, HERR: Und es wird geschehen an jenem Tag, da werden Dinge in deinem Herzen aufsteigen, und du wirst einen bösen Plan schmieden[6] (Sal 83,4)11und sagen: Ich will hinaufziehen gegen ein offenes Land, will über die kommen, die sich ruhig verhalten, in Sicherheit wohnen – sie alle wohnen ⟨ja⟩ ohne Mauern, auch Riegel und Tor[7] haben sie nicht –, (De 12,10; Ger 49,31; Zac 2,8)12um Raub zu rauben und Beute zu erbeuten, um deine Hand zu kehren gegen die ⟨wieder⟩ bewohnten Trümmerstätten und gegen ein Volk, das aus den Nationen gesammelt ist, das Viehbesitz und ⟨andere⟩ Habe erworben hat, ⟨Leute,⟩ die den Mittelpunkt der Erde bewohnen[8].13Saba und Dedan und die Aufkäufer von Tarsis und all seine Händler[9] werden zu dir sagen: Kommst du, um Raub zu rauben? Hast du dein ⟨Kriegs⟩aufgebot aufgeboten, um Beute zu erbeuten, um Silber und Gold davonzutragen, um Vieh und ⟨andere⟩ Habe wegzunehmen, um einen großen Raub zu rauben? (Ez 27,12)14Darum weissage, Menschensohn, und sage zu Gog: So spricht der Herr, HERR: Wirst du dich an jenem Tag, wenn mein Volk Israel in Sicherheit wohnt, nicht aufmachen[10]15und von deinem Ort kommen, vom äußersten Norden her, du und viele Völker mit dir – die alle auf Pferden reiten, ein großes Aufgebot und ein zahlreiches Heer –,16und wirst gegen mein Volk Israel heraufziehen wie eine Wolke, um das Land zu bedecken? Am Ende der Tage wird es geschehen, dass ich dich über mein Land kommen lasse, damit die Nationen mich erkennen, wenn ich mich an dir, Gog, vor ihren Augen als heilig erweise. (Eso 14,4; Ez 20,41; Da 10,14; Mi 4,1)17So spricht der Herr, HERR: Bist du ⟨nicht⟩ der, von dem ich in vergangenen Tagen geredet habe durch meine Knechte, die Propheten Israels, die in jenen Tagen jahre⟨lang⟩ weissagten, dass ich dich über sie kommen lassen würde? (Mi 4,11)18Und an jenem Tag wird es geschehen, an dem Tag, wenn Gog in das Land Israel kommt, spricht der Herr, HERR[11], da wird mein Grimm in meiner Nase aufsteigen. (Ez 36,6)19Und in meinem Eifer, im Feuer meiner Zornglut habe ich geredet: Wenn an jenem Tag nicht ein großes Beben im Land Israel sein wird[12]! (Ez 36,5)20Und vor mir werden beben die Fische des Meeres und die Vögel des Himmels und die Tiere des Feldes und alle Kriechtiere, die auf dem Erdboden kriechen, und alle Menschen, die auf der Fläche des Erdbodens sind; und die Berge werden niedergerissen werden, und die Felsstufen[13] werden einstürzen, und jede Mauer wird zu Boden fallen. (Ger 4,24; Na 1,5; Ap 11,13)21Und ich rufe auf meinem ganzen Gebirge das Schwert über ihn herbei, spricht der Herr, HERR[14]; da wird das Schwert des einen gegen den anderen ⟨gerichtet⟩ sein. (Ag 2,22; Zac 14,13)22Und ich werde ins Gericht mit ihm gehen[15] durch Pest und durch Blut. Und einen überschwemmenden Regen und Hagelsteine, Feuer und Schwefel lasse ich auf ihn regnen und auf seine Scharen und auf die vielen Völker, die mit ihm sind. (Sal 11,6; Is 29,6; Is 66,16; Zac 14,12; Ap 8,7; Ap 16,21; Ap 20,9)23Und ich werde mich groß und heilig erweisen und werde mich kundtun vor den Augen vieler Nationen. Und sie werden erkennen, dass ich der HERR bin. (Eso 14,4; Is 25,3; Ez 20,41; Ez 28,22; Ez 38,1)
1The word of the Lord came to me:2“Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech[1] and Tubal, and prophesy against him (Gen 10,2; Ez 2,1; Ez 6,2; Ez 27,13; Ez 38,4; Ez 38,9; Ez 39,1; Ez 39,6; Ez 39,11; Ap 20,8)3and say, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech[2] and Tubal. (Ez 13,8)4And I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great host, all of them with buckler and shield, wielding swords. (Ez 29,4; Ez 38,15; Ez 39,2)5Persia, Cush, and Put are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; (Gen 10,8; Ez 27,10)6Gomer and all his hordes; Beth-togarmah from the uttermost parts of the north with all his hordes—many peoples are with you. (Gen 10,2; Gen 10,3; Ez 27,14; Ez 32,30; Ez 38,4; Ez 38,22; Ez 39,2)7“Be ready and keep ready, you and all your hosts that are assembled about you, and be a guard for them. (Is 8,9)8After many days you will be mustered. In the latter years you will go against the land that is restored from war, the land whose people were gathered from many peoples upon the mountains of Israel, which had been a continual waste. Its people were brought out from the peoples and now dwell securely, all of them. (Is 24,22; Ez 6,2; Ez 11,17; Ez 34,25; Ez 34,27; Ez 38,16)9You will advance, coming on like a storm. You will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your hordes, and many peoples with you. (Is 28,2; Ger 4,13; Ez 38,6)10“Thus says the Lord God: On that day, thoughts will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil scheme (Ez 11,5)11and say, ‘I will go up against the land of unwalled villages. I will fall upon the quiet people who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having no bars or gates,’ (Ger 49,31; Zac 2,4)12to seize spoil and carry off plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, and the people who were gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell at the center of the earth. (Ez 5,5; Ez 5,7; Ez 5,14; Ez 38,8)13Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all its leaders[3] will say to you, ‘Have you come to seize spoil? Have you assembled your hosts to carry off plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to seize great spoil?’ (Sal 17,12; Ez 25,13; Ez 27,15; Ez 27,22; Ez 32,2)14“Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and say to Gog, Thus says the Lord God: On that day when my people Israel are dwelling securely, will you not know it? (Ez 2,1; Ez 38,2; Ez 38,8; Ez 38,11)15You 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 host, a mighty army. (Ez 23,6; Ez 38,6; Ez 38,9; Ez 38,22; Ez 39,2)16You will come up against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land. In the latter days I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when through you, O Gog, I vindicate my holiness before their eyes. (Ez 20,41; Ez 38,8; Ez 38,9; Ez 38,23; Ez 39,13)17“Thus says the Lord God: Are you he of whom I spoke in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel, who in those days prophesied for years that I would bring you against them? (Ger 6,22)18But on that day, the day that Gog shall come against the land of Israel, declares the Lord God, my wrath will be roused in my anger. (Sal 18,8)19For in my jealousy and in my blazing wrath I declare, On that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. (Ez 5,13; Ag 2,6; Ap 16,18)20The fish of the sea and the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep on the ground, and all the people who are on the face of the earth, shall quake at my presence. And the mountains shall be thrown down, and the cliffs shall fall, and every wall shall tumble to the ground. (Sal 114,7; Ger 4,24; Os 4,3)21I will summon a sword against Gog[4] on all my mountains, declares the Lord God. Every man’s sword will be against his brother. (Giudic 7,22; Ger 25,29)22With pestilence and bloodshed I will enter into judgment with him, and I will rain upon him and his hordes and the many peoples who are with him torrential rains and hailstones, fire and sulfur. (Sal 11,6; Ez 13,11; Ez 13,13; Ez 17,20; Ez 38,6; Ez 38,9; Ez 39,6; Ap 20,9)23So I will show my greatness and my holiness and make myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord. (Ez 6,7; Ez 36,23; Ez 37,28; Ez 38,16)

King James Version
1And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,2Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,3And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:4And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:5Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:6Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.7Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.8After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt 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.9Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.10Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:11And thou shalt 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,12To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.13Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?14Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it ?15And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:16And thou shalt 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 thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.17Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou 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 thee against them?18And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.19For 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;20So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon 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.21And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man' sword shall be against his brother.22And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.23Thus 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.
