1 And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal;

And thou, son of man, prophesy concerning Gog, and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I against thee, O Gog, Prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal,

2 a nd I will turn you around, drive you on, take you up from the remotest parts of the north and bring you against the mountains of Israel.

And have turned thee back, and enticed thee, And caused thee to come up from the sides of the north, And brought thee in against mountains of Israel,

3 I will strike your bow from your left hand and dash down your arrows from your right hand.

And have smitten thy bow out of thy left hand, Yea, thine arrows out of thy right I cause to fall.

4 Y ou will fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you as food to every kind of predatory bird and beast of the field.

On mountains of Israel thou fallest, Thou, and all thy bands, and the peoples who with thee, To ravenous fowl -- a bird of every wing, And a beast of the field, I have given thee for food.

5 Y ou will fall on the open field; for it is I who have spoken,” declares the Lord God.

On the face of the field thou fallest, for I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

6 And I will send fire upon Magog and those who inhabit the coastlands in safety; and they will know that I am the Lord.

And I have sent a fire against Magog, And against the confident inhabitants of the isles, And they have known that I Jehovah.

7 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 will know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.

And My holy name I make known in the midst of My people Israel, And I pollute not My holy name any more, And known have the nations that I, Jehovah, the Holy One, in Israel.

8 B ehold, it is coming and it shall be done,” declares the Lord God. “That is the day of which I have spoken.

Lo, it hath come, and it hath been done, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, It the day of which I spake.

9 Then those who inhabit the cities of Israel will go out and make fires with the weapons and burn them, both shields and bucklers, bows and arrows, war clubs and spears, and for seven years they will make fires of them.

And gone out have the inhabitants of cities of Israel, And they have burned and kindled, With armour, and shield, and buckler, With bow, and with arrows, And with hand-staves, and with javelins, And they have caused a fire to burn with them seven years,

10 T hey will not take wood from the field or gather firewood from the forests, for they will make fires with the weapons; and they will take the spoil of those who despoiled them and seize the plunder of those who plundered them,” declares the Lord God.

And they do not take wood out of the field, Nor do they hew out of the forests, For with armour they cause the fire to burn, And they have spoiled their spoilers, And they have plundered their plunderers, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

11 On that day I will give Gog a burial ground there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea, and it will block off those who would pass by. So they will bury Gog there with all his horde, and they will call it the valley of Hamon-gog.

And it hath come to pass, in that day, I give to Gog a place there -- a grave in Israel, the valley of those passing by, east of the sea, and it is stopping those passing by, and they have buried there Gog, and all his multitude, and have cried, O valley of the multitude of Gog!

12 F or seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to cleanse the land.

And the house of Israel have buried them -- in order to cleanse the land -- seven months.

13 E ven all the people of the land will bury them; and it will be to their renown on the day that I glorify Myself,” declares the Lord God.

Yea, all the people of the land have buried them, and it hath been to them for a name -- the day of My being honoured -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

14 They will set apart men who will constantly pass through the land, burying those who were passing through, even those left on the surface of the ground, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make a search.

And men for continual employment they separate, passing on through the land, burying with those passing by those who are left on the face of the earth, to cleanse it: at the end of seven months they search.

15 A s those who pass through the land pass through and anyone sees a man’s bone, then he will set up a marker by it until the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon-gog.

And those passing by have passed through the land, and seen a bone of man, and one hath constructed near it a sign till those burying have buried it in the valley of the multitude of Gog.

16 A nd even the name of the city will be Hamonah. So they will cleanse the land.”’

And also the name of the city The multitude; and they have cleansed the land.

17 As for you, son of man, thus says the Lord God, ‘Speak to every kind of bird and to every beast of the field, “Assemble and come, gather from every side to My sacrifice which I am going to sacrifice for you, as a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh and drink blood.

And thou, son of man, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Say to the bird -- every wing, and to every beast of the field: Be assembled and come in, Be gathered from round about, For My sacrifice that I am sacrificing for you, A great sacrifice on mountains of Israel, And ye have eaten flesh, and drunk blood.

18 Y ou will eat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, as though they were rams, lambs, goats and bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

Flesh of the mighty ye do eat, And blood of princes of the earth ye drink, Of rams, of lambs, and of he-goats, Of calves, fatlings of Bashan -- all of them.

19 S o you will eat fat until you are glutted, and drink blood until you are drunk, from My sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.

And ye have eaten fat to satiety, And ye have drunk blood -- to drunkenness, Of My sacrifice that I sacrificed for you.

20 Y ou will be glutted at My table with horses and charioteers, with mighty men and all the men of war,” declares the Lord God.

And ye have been satisfied at My table with horse and rider, Mighty man, and every man of war, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

21 And I will set My glory among the nations; and all the nations will see My judgment which I have executed and My hand which I have laid on them.

And I have given My honour among nations, And seen have all the nations My Judgment that I have done, And My hand that I have laid on them.

22 A nd the house of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God from that day onward.

And known have the house of Israel that I Jehovah their God, From that day and henceforth.

23 T he nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile for their iniquity because they acted treacherously against Me, and I hid My face from them; so I gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and all of them fell by the sword.

And known have the nations that for their iniquity, Removed have the house of Israel, Because they have trespassed against Me, And I do hide My face from them, And give them into the hand of their adversaries, And they fall by sword -- all of them.

24 A ccording to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I dealt with them, and I hid My face from them.”’” Israel Restored

According to their uncleanness, And according to their transgressions, I have done with them, And I do hide My face from them.

25 T herefore 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.

Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Now do I bring back the captivity of Jacob, And I have pitied all the house of Israel, And have been zealous for My holy name.

26 T hey will forget their disgrace and all their treachery which they perpetrated against Me, when they live securely on their own land with no one to make them afraid.

And they have forgotten their shame, And all their trespass that they trespassed against Me, In their dwelling on their land confidently and none troubling.

27 W hen I bring them back from the peoples and gather them from the lands of their enemies, then I shall be sanctified through them in the sight of the many nations.

In My bringing them back from the peoples, I have assembled them from the lands of their enemies, And I have been sanctified in them before the eyes of the many nations,

28 T hen they will know that I am the Lord their God because I made them go into exile among the nations, and then gathered them again to their own land; and I will leave none of them there any longer.

And they have known that I Jehovah their God, In My removing them unto the nations, And I have gathered them unto their land, And I leave none of them any more there.

29 I will not hide My face from them any longer, for I will have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,” declares the Lord God.

And I hide not any more My face from them, In that I have poured out My spirit on the house of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'
