1«Tu, figlio d’uomo, profetizza contro Gog e di’: Così parla il Signore, Dio: “Eccomi da te, o Gog, principe sovrano di Mesec e di Tubal!2Io ti porterò via, ti spingerò avanti, ti farò salire dalle estremità del settentrione e ti condurrò sui monti d’Israele;3butterò giù l’arco dalla tua mano sinistra e ti farò cadere le frecce dalla destra.4Tu cadrai sui monti d’Israele, tu con tutte le tue schiere e con i popoli che saranno con te; ti darò in pasto agli uccelli rapaci, agli uccelli di ogni specie e alle bestie dei campi.5Tu cadrai in mezzo ai campi, poiché io ho parlato”, dice il Signore, Dio.6“Manderò il fuoco su Magog e su quelli che abitano sicuri nelle isole; e conosceranno che io sono il Signore.7Farò conoscere il mio nome santo in mezzo al mio popolo Israele e non lascerò più profanare il mio nome santo; le nazioni conosceranno che io sono il Signore, il Santo in Israele.8Ecco, la cosa sta per avvenire, si effettuerà”, dice il Signore, Dio; “questo è il giorno di cui io ho parlato.9Gli abitanti delle città d’Israele usciranno e faranno dei fuochi, bruciando armi, scudi grandi e piccoli, archi, frecce, picche e lance, e ne faranno del fuoco per sette anni;10non porteranno legna dai campi, non ne taglieranno nelle foreste, poiché faranno del fuoco con quelle armi; spoglieranno quelli che li spogliavano e deprederanno quelli che li depredavano”, dice il Signore, Dio.11“In quel giorno, io darò a Gog un luogo che gli servirà da sepoltura in Israele, la Valle dei viandanti, a oriente del mare; quel sepolcro chiuderà la via ai viandanti, là sarà sepolto Gog con tutta la sua moltitudine. Quel luogo sarà chiamato la Valle di Amon-Gog.12La casa d’Israele li sotterrerà per purificare il paese, e ciò durerà sette mesi.13Tutto il popolo del paese li sotterrerà; per questo la sua fama crescerà il giorno in cui mi glorificherò”, dice il Signore, Dio.14“Metteranno da parte degli uomini i quali percorreranno del continuo il paese a sotterrare, con l’aiuto dei viandanti, i cadaveri che saranno rimasti sul suolo del paese, per purificarlo; alla fine dei sette mesi faranno questa ricerca.15Quando i viandanti passeranno per il paese, chiunque di loro vedrà delle ossa umane accumulerà là vicino un mucchio di pietre finché i seppellitori non le abbiano sotterrate nella Valle di Amon-Gog.16Amona[1] sarà pure il nome di una città. Così purificheranno il paese”.17Tu, figlio d’uomo, così parla il Signore, Dio: “Di’ agli uccelli di ogni specie e a tutte le bestie dei campi: ‘Riunitevi, venite! Raccoglietevi da tutte le parti attorno al banchetto del sacrificio che sto per immolare per voi, del gran sacrificio sui monti d’Israele! Voi mangerete carne e berrete sangue.18Mangerete carne di prodi e berrete sangue di prìncipi della terra: montoni, agnelli, capri, tori, tutti quanti ingrassati in Basan.19Mangerete grasso a sazietà, berrete sangue fino a inebriarvi, al banchetto del sacrificio che io immolerò per voi;20alla mia mensa sarete saziati di carne di cavalli e di bestie da tiro, di prodi e di guerrieri di ogni razza’”, dice il Signore, Dio.21“Io manifesterò la mia gloria fra le nazioni; tutte le nazioni vedranno il giudizio che io eseguirò e la mia mano che metterò su di loro.22Da quel giorno in poi la casa d’Israele conoscerà che io sono il Signore, il suo Dio.23Le nazioni conosceranno che la casa d’Israele è stata deportata a causa della sua iniquità, perché mi era stata infedele; perciò io ho nascosto loro la mia faccia e li ho dati in mano ai loro nemici; tutti quanti sono caduti di spada.24Io li ho trattati secondo la loro impurità e secondo le loro trasgressioni, e ho nascosto loro la mia faccia”.
Ristabilimento d’Israele
25«Perciò, così parla il Signore, Dio: “Ora io farò tornare Giacobbe dalla deportazione e avrò pietà di tutta la casa d’Israele, e sarò geloso del mio santo nome.26Essi avranno finito di portare il loro disonore e la pena di tutte le infedeltà che hanno commesse contro di me, quando abiteranno al sicuro nel loro paese e non vi sarà più nessuno che li spaventi;27quando li ricondurrò dai popoli e li raccoglierò dai paesi dei loro nemici, e mi santificherò in loro davanti a molte nazioni.28Essi conosceranno che io sono il Signore, il loro Dio, quando, dopo averli fatti deportare fra le nazioni, li avrò raccolti nel loro paese e non lascerò là più nessuno di essi;29non nasconderò più loro la mia faccia, perché avrò sparso il mio Spirito sulla casa d’Israele”, dice il Signore, Dio».
Nochmalige Ankündigung des Gerichts über Gog und der Vernichtung seiner Heeresmacht
1Und du, Menschensohn, weissage über Gog und sprich: So spricht der Herr, HERR: Siehe, ich will an dich, Gog, Fürst von Rosch, Meschech und Tubal[1].2Und ich werde dich herumlenken und dich gängeln und dich heraufziehen lassen vom äußersten Norden her und dich auf die Berge Israels bringen.3Und ich werde dir den Bogen aus deiner linken Hand schlagen und deine Pfeile aus deiner rechten Hand fallen lassen. (Sal 46,10; Sal 76,4)4Auf den Bergen Israels wirst du fallen, du und alle deine Scharen und die Völker, die mit dir sind; den Raubvögeln aller Art[2] und den Tieren des Feldes habe ich dich zum Fraß gegeben; (Ez 32,4; Ap 19,17)5auf dem freien Feld[3] sollst du fallen. Denn ich habe ⟨es⟩ geredet, spricht der Herr, HERR[4]. (Is 24,21)6Und ich sende Feuer gegen Magog und gegen die, die auf den Inseln[5] sicher wohnen. Und sie werden erkennen, dass ich der HERR bin. (Ap 20,9)7Und ich werde meinen heiligen Namen kundtun mitten in meinem Volk Israel und werde meinen heiligen Namen nicht mehr entweihen lassen. Und die Nationen werden erkennen, dass ich der HERR bin, der heilig ist in Israel.8Siehe, es kommt und wird geschehen, spricht der Herr, HERR[6]. Das ist der Tag, von dem ich geredet habe. (Is 46,10; Ez 33,33)9Und die Bewohner der Städte Israels werden hinausgehen und werden Feuer machen und heizen mit Waffen, und zwar ⟨mit⟩ Kleinschilden und Langschilden, mit Bogen und Pfeilen, mit Handkeulen und Lanzen; und sie werden damit sieben Jahre lang Feuer machen.10Und sie werden kein Holz vom Feld sammeln noch aus den Wäldern schlagen, sondern werden mit den Waffen Feuer machen. Und sie werden ihre Räuber berauben und ihre Plünderer plündern, spricht der Herr, HERR[7]. (Zac 14,14)11Und an jenem Tag wird es geschehen, da werde ich dem Gog einen Ort geben, wo in Israel ein Grab ⟨für ihn⟩ ist: das Tal Abarim[8], östlich vom Meer[9]; und es wird den Durchreisenden ⟨den Weg⟩ versperren. Und dort werden sie Gog und seinen ganzen Prunk[10] begraben, und sie werden es nennen: »Tal Hamon Gog[11]«.12Und das Haus Israel wird sie begraben, um das Land zu reinigen, sieben Monate lang; (Nu 19,16)13und das ganze Volk des Landes wird ⟨sie⟩ begraben, und es wird ihnen zum Ruhm[12] sein am Tag, da ich mich verherrliche, spricht der Herr, HERR[13]. (Ez 28,22)14Und sie werden Männer mit einem beständigen Auftrag[14] aussondern,[15] die im Land umherziehen ⟨und⟩ mit den Durchreisenden die auf der Fläche des Landes Übriggebliebenen begraben[16], um es zu reinigen. Am Ende der sieben Monate sollen sie es durchsuchen.15Ziehen nun die Umherziehenden im Land umher und es sieht jemand Menschengebein, dann soll er ein Mal daneben errichten, bis die Totengräber es im »Tal Hamon Gog[17]« begraben haben.16Und auch der Name einer Stadt ⟨lautet⟩ Hamona[18]. So werden sie das Land reinigen. (Nu 19,16)17Und du, Menschensohn, so spricht der Herr, HERR: Sage zu den Vögeln aller Art[19] und zu allen Tieren des Feldes: Versammelt euch und kommt, sammelt euch von allen Seiten her zu meinem Schlachtopfer, das ich für euch schlachte, einem großen Schlachtopfer auf den Bergen Israels, und fresst Fleisch und trinkt Blut! (Ger 46,10; Ez 29,5; So 1,7)18Fleisch von Helden sollt ihr fressen, und Blut von Fürsten der Erde sollt ihr trinken: Widder, Lämmer und Böcke, Stiere, Mastvieh aus Baschan sind sie alle. (Is 34,6; Ap 19,18)19Und Fett sollt ihr fressen bis zur Sättigung und Blut trinken bis zur Trunkenheit von meinem Schlachtopfer, das ich für euch geschlachtet habe.20Und ihr sollt euch an meinem Tisch sättigen mit Pferden und Reittieren, mit Helden und allerlei Kriegsleuten, spricht der Herr, HERR[20].21Und ich werde meine Herrlichkeit unter den Nationen erweisen[21]; und alle Nationen werden mein Gericht sehen, das ich gehalten habe, und meine Hand, die ich an sie gelegt habe. (Sal 94,10; Is 37,20; Mal 1,5)22Und das Haus Israel wird erkennen, dass ich der HERR, ihr Gott bin, von jenem Tag an und in alle Zukunft[22].
Verheißung: Gott wird Israel für immer im Land wohnen lassen
23Und die Nationen werden erkennen, dass das Haus Israel um seiner Schuld willen gefangen weggezogen ist, weil sie treulos an mir handelten und ich mein Angesicht vor ihnen verborgen und sie in die Hand ihrer Bedränger gegeben habe, sodass sie allesamt durchs Schwert gefallen sind. (De 31,17; Esd 9,7; Is 59,2; Lam 1,8; Ez 36,18)24Nach ihrer Unreinheit und nach ihren Verbrechen habe ich mit ihnen gehandelt und habe mein Angesicht vor ihnen verborgen. – (De 31,17; Is 59,2)25Darum, so spricht der Herr, HERR: Jetzt wende ich das Geschick Jakobs und erbarme mich über das ganze Haus Israel und eifere für meinen heiligen Namen. (Is 14,1; Ger 29,14; Ger 32,37; Ez 36,21; Ro 11,26)26Und sie werden ihre Schmach tragen und all ihre Untreue, mit der sie treulos an mir gehandelt haben, wenn sie in ihrem Land sicher wohnen und niemand ⟨sie⟩ aufschreckt, (Ez 15,8; Ez 20,27; Ez 34,25)27wenn ich sie aus den Völkern zurückgebracht und sie aus den Ländern ihrer Feinde gesammelt habe und mich so an ihnen als heilig erweise vor den Augen der vielen Nationen. (Ez 20,41)28Und sie werden erkennen, dass ich der HERR, ihr Gott bin, da ich sie ⟨zwar gefangen⟩ zu den Nationen weggeführt habe, sie aber ⟨wieder⟩ in ihr Land sammle und keinen mehr von ihnen dort zurücklasse. (De 30,3; Ez 37,21; Am 9,9)29Und ich werde mein Angesicht nicht mehr vor ihnen verbergen, wenn[23] ich meinen Geist über das Haus Israel ausgegossen habe, spricht der Herr, HERR. (Is 54,8; Is 59,21; Ez 36,26; Gioe 3,1; Mi 7,19; Zac 12,10)
Ezechiele 39
English Standard Version
di Crossway1“And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech[1] and Tubal. (Ez 2,1; Ez 13,8; Ez 38,2; Ez 38,3)2And I will turn you about and drive you forward,[2] and bring you up from the uttermost parts of the north, and lead you against the mountains of Israel. (Ez 6,2; Ez 32,30; Ez 38,4; Ez 38,6; Ez 38,15)3Then I will strike your bow from your left hand, and will make your arrows drop out of your right hand. (Sal 76,3)4You shall fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your hordes and the peoples who are with you. I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. (Ez 38,6; Ez 38,9; Ez 38,21; Ez 38,22; Ez 39,2; Ez 39,17)5You shall fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Lord God. (Ez 17,21)6I will send fire on Magog and on those who dwell securely in the coastlands, and they shall know that I am the Lord. (Ez 6,7; Ez 27,3; Ez 27,6; Ez 27,15; Ez 28,18; Ez 30,8; Ez 30,14; Ez 30,16; Ez 38,2; Ez 38,8; Ez 38,14; Ez 38,22)7“And my holy name I will make known in the midst of my people Israel, and I will not let my holy name be profaned anymore. And the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. (Is 45,11; Ez 20,39; Ez 36,23; Ez 39,22)8Behold, it is coming and it will be brought about, declares the Lord God. That is the day of which I have spoken. (Ez 21,7; Ez 38,17)9“Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and make fires of the weapons and burn them, shields and bucklers, bow and arrows, clubs[3] and spears; and they will make fires of them for seven years, (1Sam 17,40; Sal 46,9; Is 9,5)10so that they will not need to take wood out of the field or cut down any out of the forests, for they will make their fires of the weapons. They will seize the spoil of those who despoiled them, and plunder those who plundered them, declares the Lord God. (Is 33,1; Ez 39,9)11“On that day I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the Valley of the Travelers, east of the sea. It will block the travelers, for there Gog and all his multitude will be buried. It will be called the Valley of Hamon-gog.[4] (Ez 38,2; Ez 39,15)12For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse the land. (De 21,23; Ez 39,14)13All the people of the land will bury them, and it will bring them renown on the day that I show my glory, declares the Lord God. (Ez 28,22)14They will set apart men to travel through the land regularly and bury those travelers remaining on the face of the land, so as to cleanse it. At[5] the end of seven months they will make their search. (Ez 39,12)15And when these travel through the land and anyone sees a human bone, then he shall set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon-gog. (Ez 39,11)16(Hamonah[6] is also the name of the city.) Thus shall they cleanse the land.17“As for you, son of man, thus says the Lord God: Speak to the birds of every sort and to all beasts of the field: ‘Assemble and come, gather from all around to the sacrificial feast that I am preparing for you, a great sacrificial feast on the mountains of Israel, and you shall eat flesh and drink blood. (Is 34,6; Ger 12,9; Ez 2,1; Ez 39,4; So 1,7; Ap 19,17)18You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth—of rams, of lambs, and of he-goats, of bulls, all of them fat beasts of Bashan. (Sal 22,12; Ap 19,18)19And you shall eat fat till you are filled, and drink blood till you are drunk, at the sacrificial feast that I am preparing for you.20And you shall be filled at my table with horses and charioteers, with mighty men and all kinds of warriors,’ declares the Lord God.21“And I will set my glory among the nations, and all the nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid on them. (Eso 7,4; Ez 28,22; Ez 36,23; Ez 37,28; Ez 38,23; Ez 39,7; Ez 39,13)22The house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God, from that day forward. (Ez 6,7; Ez 39,28; Gioe 2,27)23And the nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity, because they dealt so treacherously with me that I hid my face from them and gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they all fell by the sword. (Le 26,25; De 29,24; De 31,17)24I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and their transgressions, and hid my face from them. (Ez 18,30)
The Lord Will Restore Israel
25“Therefore thus says the Lord God: Now I will restore the fortunes of Jacob and have mercy on the whole house of Israel, and I will be jealous for my holy name. (Ger 30,3; Ez 5,13; Ez 20,9; Ez 20,40)26They shall forget their shame and all the treachery they have practiced against me, when they dwell securely in their land with none to make them afraid, (Ez 32,24; Ez 34,25; Ez 34,27; Ez 34,28; Ez 38,8)27when I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them from their enemies’ lands, and through them have vindicated my holiness in the sight of many nations. (Ez 11,17; Ez 20,41; Ez 28,25)28Then they shall know that I am the Lord their God, because I sent them into exile among the nations and then assembled them into their own land. I will leave none of them remaining among the nations anymore. (Ez 39,22)29And I will not hide my face anymore from them, when I pour out my Spirit upon the house of Israel, declares the Lord God.” (Ez 39,23; Gioe 2,28)
Ezechiele 39
King James Version
1Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:2And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:3And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.4Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.5Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it , saith the Lord GOD.6And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.7So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.8Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.9And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:10So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.11And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.12And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.13Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them ; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.14And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.15And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man' bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.16And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.17And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.18Ye 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 bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.19And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.20Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.21And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.22So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.23And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.24According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.25Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;26After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.27When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies'lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;28Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.29Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
