Ndidzakutenga kuchokera kutali kumpoto ndi kukutumiza kuti ukalimbane ndi anthu a ku mapiri a Israeli. 3Kenaka Ine ndidzathyola uta wa mʼdzanja lako lamanzere ndipo ndidzagwetsa mivi ya mʼdzanja lako lamanja. 4Udzagwa ku mapiri a ku Israeli, iwe ndi magulu ako onse ankhondo ndiponso mitundu ya anthu imene ili nawe. Ndidzakusandutsa chakudya cha mitundu yonse ya mbalame zodya nyama, ndiponso cha zirombo zakuthengo. 5Udzafera pa mtetete kuthengo, pakuti Ine ndayankhula. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova. 6Ndidzatumiza moto pa Magogi ndi pa onse amene amakhala mwamtendere mʼmbali mwa nyanja. Choncho adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.’
7“Ndidzachititsa kuti dzina langa loyera lidziwike pakati pa anthu anga Israeli. Sindidzalola kuti dzina langa liyipitsidwenso, ndipo mitundu ya anthu idzadziwa kuti Ine Yehova ndine Woyera mu Israeli. 8Zikubwera! Ndipo zidzachitikadi, ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova. Ndiye tsiku limene ndinanena lija.
9“Pamenepo okhala mʼmizinda ya Israeli adzatuluka ndipo adzasonkhanitsa zida zankhondo kuti zikhale nkhuni ndipo adzazitentha; zishango ndi lihawo, mauta ndi mivi, zibonga za nkhondo ndi mikondo. Adzazisonkhera moto kwa zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri. 10Iwo sadzatolera nkhuni kuthengo kapena kukadula ku nkhalango, chifukwa adzasonkhera moto zidazo. Ndipo iwo adzafunkha amene anawafunkhawo, ndi kulanda chuma cha amene anawalanda, ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
11“Pa tsiku limenelo ndidzamupatsa Gogi manda mu Israeli, mʼchigwa cha apaulendo, kummawa kwa Nyanja Yakufa. Mandawo adzatseka njira ya apaulendo, chifukwa Gogi ndi gulu lake lankhondo adzayikidwa kumeneko. Ndipo chigwacho chidzatchedwa chigwa cha gulu lankhondo la Gogi.
12“Nyumba ya Israeli idzakhala ikukwirira mitembo kwa miyezi isanu ndi iwiri ndi cholinga choyeretsa dziko. 13Anthu onse a mʼdzikomo adzakwirira nawo mitembo. Ntchito imeneyo adzatchuka nayo pa tsiku limene ndidzaonetsa ulemerero wanga. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
14“Patapita miyezi isanu ndi iwiri adzalemba ntchito anthu ena odzayenda mʼdziko lonse kufunafuna mitembo imene inatsalira nʼkumayikwirira. Choncho adzayeretseratu dzikolo. 15Poyenda mʼdzikomo azidzati akaona fupa la munthu azidzayikapo chizindikiro pambali pake mpaka okumba manda atakalikwirira fupalo ku chigwa cha gulu lankhondo la Gogi. 16(Komwekonso kudzakhala mzinda wotchedwa Gulu la nkhondo). Ndipo potero adzayeretsa dziko.
17“Tsono iwe mwana wa munthu, Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Itana mbalame za mitundu yonse ndi zirombo zonse zakuthengo ndipo uziwuze kuti, ‘Sonkhanani ndipo bwerani kuchokera ku mbali zonse ku nsembe imene ndikukonzerani inu, nsembe yayikulu pa mapiri a Israeli. Kumeneko inu mudzadya mnofu ndi kumwa magazi. 18Mudzadya mnofu wa anthu ankhondo amphamvu ndi kumwa magazi a akalonga a dziko lapansi. Onsewo anaphedwa ngati nkhosa zazimuna, ana ankhosa onenepa, mbuzi ndiponso ngati ngʼombe zazimuna zonenepa za ku Basani. 19Ku phwando lansembe limene ndikukonzera inulo, mudzadya zonona mpaka kukhuta ndi kumwa magazi mpaka kuledzera. 20Pa tebulo langa mudzakhuta pakudya akavalo ndi okwerapo ake, anthu amphamvu ndi asilikali amitundumitundu,’ ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
21“Ine ndidzaonetsa ulemerero wanga pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina, ndipo adzaona mmene ndidzawalangire ndikadzayika dzanja langa pa iwo. 22Kuyambira tsiku limenelo mpaka mʼtsogolo Aisraeli adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wawo. 23Ndipo anthu a mitundu ina adzadziwa kuti anthu a Israeli anatengedwa ukapolo chifukwa cha tchimo lawo, chifukwa anali osakhulupirika kwa Ine. Choncho Ine ndinawabisira nkhope yanga ndi kuwapereka kwa adani awo. Motero anaphedwa pa nkhondo. 24Ndinawachita zimenezi chifukwa cha kunyansa kwawo ndi zolakwa zawo, ndipo ndinawabisira nkhope yanga.
25“Nʼchifukwa chake Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Tsopano ndidzakhazikanso pa bwino banja la Yakobo. Ndidzachitira chifundo Aisraeli onse, ndipo ndidzateteza dzina langa loyera. 26Anthuwo akadzakhala mwamtendere mʼdziko lawo popanda wina wowaopseza, pamenepo adzayiwala zamanyazi zawo zimene zinawachitikira chifukwa chosandikhulupirira Ine. 27Ndidzawabwezeranso kwawo kuchokera pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina ndipo ndidzawasonkhanitsa kuchokera ku mayiko a adani awo. Poteropo ndidzaonetsa pamaso pa anthu a mitundu yambiri kuti ndine Woyera. 28Pamenepo iwo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wawo, ngakhale kuti ndinawapereka ku ukapolo pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina. Ine ndidzawasonkhanitsanso ku dziko lawo osasiyako wina mʼmbuyo. 29Ine sindidzawabisiranso nkhope yanga, pakuti ndidzathira Mzimu wanga pa Aisraeli. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.”
1“Son of man, prophesy against Gog and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of39:1 Or Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshek and Tubal. 2I will turn you around and drag you along. I will bring you from the far north and send you against the mountains of Israel. 3Then I will strike your bow from your left hand and make your arrows drop from your right hand. 4On the mountains of Israel you will fall, you and all your troops and the nations with you. I will give you as food to all kinds of carrion birds and to the wild animals. 5You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord. 6I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in safety in the coastlands, and they will know that I am the Lord.
7“ ‘I will make known my holy name among my people Israel. I will no longer let my holy name be profaned, and the nations will know that I the Lord am the Holy One in Israel. 8It is coming! It will surely take place, declares the Sovereign Lord. This is the day I have spoken of.
9“ ‘Then those who live in the towns of Israel will go out and use the weapons for fuel and burn them up—the small and large shields, the bows and arrows, the war clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel. 10They will not need to gather wood from the fields or cut it from the forests, because they will use the weapons for fuel. And they will plunder those who plundered them and loot those who looted them, declares the Sovereign Lord.
11“ ‘On that day I will give Gog a burial place in Israel, in the valley of those who travel east of the Sea. It will block the way of travelers, because Gog and all his hordes will be buried there. So it will be called the Valley of Hamon Gog.39:11 Hamon Gog means hordes of Gog.
12“ ‘For seven months the Israelites will be burying them in order to cleanse the land. 13All the people of the land will bury them, and the day I display my glory will be a memorable day for them, declares the Sovereign Lord. 14People will be continually employed in cleansing the land. They will spread out across the land and, along with others, they will bury any bodies that are lying on the ground.
“ ‘After the seven months they will carry out a more detailed search. 15As they go through the land, anyone who sees a human bone will leave a marker beside it until the gravediggers bury it in the Valley of Hamon Gog, 16near a town called Hamonah.39:16 Hamonah means horde. And so they will cleanse the land.’
17“Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Call out to every kind of bird and all the wild animals: ‘Assemble and come together from all around to the sacrifice I am preparing for you, the great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel. There you will eat flesh and drink blood. 18You will eat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of the princes of the earth as if they were rams and lambs, goats and bulls—all of them fattened animals from Bashan. 19At the sacrifice I am preparing for you, you will eat fat till you are glutted and drink blood till you are drunk. 20At my table you will eat your fill of horses and riders, mighty men and soldiers of every kind,’ declares the Sovereign Lord.
21“I will display my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the punishment I inflict and the hand I lay on them. 22From that day forward the people of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God. 23And the nations will know that the people of Israel went into exile for their sin, because they were unfaithful to me. So I hid my face from them and handed them over to their enemies, and they all fell by the sword. 24I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and their offenses, and I hid my face from them.
25“Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will now restore the fortunes of Jacob39:25 Or now bring Jacob back from captivity and will have compassion on all the people of Israel, and I will be zealous for my holy name. 26They will forget their shame and all the unfaithfulness they showed toward me when they lived in safety in their land with no one to make them afraid. 27When I have brought them back from the nations and have gathered them from the countries of their enemies, I will be proved holy through them in the sight of many nations. 28Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them to their own land, not leaving any behind. 29I will no longer hide my face from them, for I will pour out my Spirit on the people of Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord.”
