Ezekiel 39
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Ang Pagbagsak ng Gog
39 Sinabi sa akin ni Yahweh, “Ezekiel, anak ng tao, magpahayag ka laban sa Gog. Sabihin mong ipinapasabi ko: Ako'y laban sa iyo, Gog, pangunahing pinuno ng Meshec at Tubal. 2 Babaligtarin kita, at mula sa dulong hilaga ay itataboy sa kabundukan ng Israel. 3 Pagkatapos, aagawin ko ang pana at mga palaso sa iyong mga kamay. 4 Ikaw at ang iyong buong hukbo ay malilipol sa kabundukan ng Israel, pati ang makapal mong tauhan. Ang inyong mga bangkay ay pababayaan kong kanin ng mga ibon at lapain ng mababangis na hayop. 5 Sinasabi kong mabubuwal ka sa kaparangan. 6 Lilikha ako ng sunog sa Magog at sa baybayin ng dagat, ang lugar na hindi dating nakakaranas ng gulo. Sa gayon, makikilala nilang ako si Yahweh. 7 Ipapakilala ko ang aking pangalan sa gitna ng bayan kong Israel at di ko na pababayaang malapastangan ito. Sa gayo'y makikilala ng lahat ng bansa na ako si Yahweh, ang Banal na Diyos ng Israel.”
8 Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Dumarating na ang araw ng kaganapan ng mga bagay na ito. 9 Pagkaganap ng mga bagay na ito, ang mga taga-lunsod ay lalabas ng bayan upang gawing panggatong ang makapal na gamit pandigma: pananggalang, pana, palaso, punyal, at sibat. Ang daming ito ay magiging sapat na panggatong sa loob ng pitong taon. 10 Hindi na sila kailangang mangahoy sa bukid o sa gubat. Ang mga sandatang iyon na ang kanilang igagatong. Ang mangyayari, sasamsaman nila ang sana'y mananamsam sa kanila. Ang Panginoong Yahweh ang maysabi nito.”
Ang Libingan ng Gog
11 Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Sa araw na iyon, ang Gog ay bibigyan ko ng isang libingan sa Israel, ang Libis ng Manlalakbay, sa silangan ng Dagat na Patay. Doon siya ililibing kasama ang makapal na taong kasama niya. Ang libingang ito'y tatawaging Libis ng Hukbo ng Gog, at lilihisan ng mga manlalakbay. 12 Sa paglilibing lamang sa kanila, mauubos ang pitong buwan bago mailibing ng mga Israelita ang lahat ng bangkay. 13 Lahat ng tutulong sa paglilibing ay pararangalan sa araw ng aking tagumpay. Akong si Yahweh ang nagsabi nito. 14 Pagkaraan ng pitong buwan, magtatalaga kayo ng isang pangkat upang patuloy na maghanap at maglibing sa mga kalansay na hindi pa naililibing para malinis nang lubusan ang lupain. 15 Sinuman sa kanila ang makakita ng kalansay, lalagyan niya iyon ng tanda hanggang hindi nadadala sa pinaglibingan kay Gog at sa kanyang mga kasama. 16 (Isang malapit na bayan ay tatawaging Ang Hukbo ni Gog.) Gayon ang gagawin ninyo upang ganap na malinis ang lupain.”
17 Sinabi(A) ni Yahweh, “Ezekiel, anak ng tao, ito naman ang sabihin mo sa lahat ng uri ng ibon at hayop: ‘Halikayo at magpakabusog sa handog na itong inihanda ko sa inyo, isang malaking handa sa mga bundok ng Israel. Magpakabusog kayo sa laman at dugo. 18 Kanin ninyo ang laman ng mga mandirigma at inumin ang dugo ng mga pinuno ng daigdig. Ito ay siya ninyong pinakatupang lalaki, kordero, kambing, toro, at baka. 19 Magsasawa kayo sa taba at malalango sa dugo dito sa maraming handog na inilaan ko sa inyo. 20 Sa hapag ko'y mabubusog kayo sa kabayo at mandirigmang sakay nito at sa lahat ng uri ng kawal.’ Akong si Yahweh ang nagsabi nito.”
Ibinalik sa Dati ang Israel
21 Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Ipapakita ko sa lahat ng bansa ang aking kaluwalhatian sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ko sa aking kapangyarihan sa pagsasagawa ng aking pasya. 22 Mula sa araw na iyon, makikilala ng Israel na ako si Yahweh, ang kanilang Diyos. 23 At malalaman ng lahat ng bansa na ang Israel ay nabihag dahil na rin sa kanilang kasamaan; dahil sa pagtataksil nila sa akin, sila ay aking pinabayaan at ibinigay sa kanilang mga kaaway upang patayin. 24 Pinabayaan ko sila sapagkat iyon lang ang marapat sa kanilang kasamaan.”
25 Ipinapasabi ni Yahweh: “Ngayon, ibabalik ko ang dating kalagayan ni Jacob. Muli kong ipadarama sa sambayanang Israel ang aking pag-ibig sa kanila upang mabigyan kong karangalan ang aking pangalan. 26 Ang kahihiyang sinapit nila at ang kanilang kataksilan sa akin ay malilimutan na rin nila kapag sila'y payapa nang naninirahan sa sarili nilang lupain at wala nang liligalig sa kanila. 27 At kapag natipon ko na sila mula sa lupain ng kanilang mga kaaway, sa pamamagitan ng pagkalinga ko sa kanila'y ipapakita ko sa lahat ng bansa na ako ay banal. 28 Sa gayon, makikilala ng Israel na ako si Yahweh na kanilang Diyos sapagkat itinapon ko sila sa lahat ng panig ng daigdig at pagkatapos ay muling tinipon sa sarili nilang lupain. Titipunin ko silang lahat at walang matitira isa man sa ibang bansa. 29 Ibubuhos ko sa Israel ang aking Espiritu at hindi ko na sila tatalikuran. Akong si Yahweh ang nagsabi nito.”
Ezekiel 39
King James Version
39 Therefore, 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:
2 And 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:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou 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.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.
6 And 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.
7 So 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.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
9 And 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:
10 So 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.
11 And 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.
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13 Yea, 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.
14 And 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.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17 And, 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.
18 Ye 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.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord God.
21 And 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.
22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day and forward.
23 And 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.
24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25 Therefore 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;
26 After 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.
27 When 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;
28 Then 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.
29 Neither 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.
Ezekiel 39
New King James Version
Gog’s Armies Destroyed
39 “And (A)you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, [a]the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal; 2 and I will (B)turn you around and lead you on, (C)bringing you up from the far north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel. 3 Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall out of your right hand. 4 (D)You shall [b]fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; (E)I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 5 You shall [c]fall on [d]the open field; for I have spoken,” says the Lord God. 6 (F)“And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live [e]in security in (G)the coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the Lord. 7 (H)So I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let them (I)profane My holy name anymore. (J)Then the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. 8 (K)Surely it is coming, and it shall be done,” says the Lord God. “This is the day (L)of which I have spoken.
9 “Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and bucklers, the bows and arrows, the [f]javelins and spears; and they will make fires with them for seven years. 10 They will not take wood from the field nor cut down any from the forests, because they will make fires with the weapons; (M)and they will plunder those who plundered them, and pillage those who pillaged them,” says the Lord God.
The Burial of Gog
11 “It will come to pass in that day that I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea; and it will obstruct travelers, because there they will bury Gog and all his multitude. Therefore they will call it the Valley of [g]Hamon Gog. 12 For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, (N)in order to cleanse the land. 13 Indeed all the people of the land will be burying, and they will gain (O)renown for it on the day that (P)I am glorified,” says the Lord God. 14 “They will set apart men regularly employed, with the help of [h]a search party, to pass through the land and bury those bodies remaining on the ground, in order (Q)to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make a search. 15 The search party will pass through the land; and when anyone sees a man’s bone, he shall [i]set up a marker by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon Gog. 16 The name of the city will also be [j]Hamonah. Thus they shall (R)cleanse the land.” ’
A Triumphant Festival
17 “And as for you, son of man, thus says the Lord God, (S)‘Speak to every sort of bird and to every beast of the field:
(T)“Assemble yourselves and come;
Gather together from all sides to My (U)sacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you,
A great sacrificial meal (V)on the mountains of Israel,
That you may eat flesh and drink blood.
18 (W)You shall eat the flesh of the mighty,
Drink the blood of the princes of the earth,
Of rams and lambs,
Of goats and bulls,
All of them (X)fatlings of Bashan.
19 You shall eat fat till you are full,
And drink blood till you are drunk,
At My sacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you.
20 (Y)You shall be filled at My table
With horses and riders,
(Z)With mighty men
And with all the men of war,” says the Lord God.
Israel Restored to the Land
21 (AA)“I will set My glory among the nations; all the nations shall see My judgment which I have executed, and (AB)My hand which I have laid on them. 22 (AC)So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day forward. 23 (AD)The Gentiles shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they were unfaithful to Me, therefore (AE)I hid My face from them. I (AF)gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword. 24 (AG)According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I have dealt with them, and hidden My face from them.” ’
25 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: (AH)‘Now I will bring back the captives of Jacob, and have mercy on the (AI)whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name— 26 (AJ)after they have borne their shame, and all their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, when they (AK)dwelt safely in their own land and no one made them afraid. 27 (AL)When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and I (AM)am hallowed in them in the sight of many nations, 28 (AN)then they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their land, and left none of them [k]captive any longer. 29 (AO)And I will not hide My face from them anymore; for I shall have (AP)poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord God.”
