38 — Ezechiel

1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:Il Signore parlommi, dicendo:AND the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens: 2Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Mosoch and Thubal: and prophesy of him,Figliuolo dell'uomo, volgi la tua faccia verso Gog, verso la terra di Magog, verso il principe, e capo di Mosoch, e di Thubal, e profetizza in torno ad essi,Sonne of man, set thy face against Gog. & the Land of Magog, the prince of the head of Mosoch, and Thubal: and prophecie of him and thou shalt say to him:Fili hominis, pone faciem tuam contra Gog, terram Magog, principem capitis Mosoch et Thubal, et vaticinare de eo. 3And say to him: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I come against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Mosoch and Thubal.E dirai a lui: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Eccomi a te, o Gog principe, e capo di Mosoch, e di Thubal.Thus saith our Lord God: Behold I to thee Gog prince of the head of Mosoch and Thubal.Et dices ad eum: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / Ecce ego ad te, Gog, principem capitis Mosoch et Thubal. 4And I will turn thee about, and I will put a bit in thy jaws: and I will bring thee forth, and all thy army, horses and horsemen all clothed with coats of mail, a great multitude, armed with spears and shields and swords.Io ti aggirerò, e imbriglierò le tue mascelle, e menerò fuori te, e il tuo esercito, i cavalli, e i cavalieri coperti tutti di corazze, turba grande, che darà di piglio all'asta, allo scudo, e alla spada.And I wil turne thee about, and wil put a bitte in thy iawes: and wil bring forth thee, and al thyne armie, the horses and horsmen clothed with brigantines, a great multitude, of them that take speare and buckler and sword.Et circumagam te, et ponam frenum in maxillis tuis: / et educam te, et omnem exercitum tuum, / equos et equites vestitos loricis universos, / multitudinem magnam, hastam et clypeum arripientium et gladium. 5The Persians, Ethiopians, and Libyans with them, all with shields and helmets.Con essi saranno i Persiani, e gli Etiopi, e que' della Libia, tutti provveduti di scudo, e di cimiero.The Persians, Aethiopians, and Lybians with them, al with shildes and helmets.Persæ, Æthiopes, et Libyes cum eis, / omnes scutati et galeati. 6Gomer, and all his bands, the house of Thogorma, the northern parts and all his strength, and many peoples with thee.Gomer, e tutte le sue schiere, la casa di Thogorma, e le genti settentrionali, e tutte le loro forze, e molti altri popoli teco.Gomer, and al her troupes, the houses of Thogorma the sides of the North, & al his strength, and manie peoples with them.Gomer et universa agmina ejus, / domus Thogorma, latera aquilonis, / et totum robur ejus, populique multi tecum.

7Prepare and make thyself ready, and all thy multitude that is assembled about thee, and be thou commander over them.Preparati, e mettiti in ordine con tutta la tua moltitudine affollata intorno a te, e dà loro i tuoi ordini.Prepare and make readie thy selfe, and al thy multitude, that is gathered to thee in heapes: and be thou as a precept to them.Præpara et instrue te, / et omnem multitudinem tuam quæ coacervata est ad te: / et esto eis in præceptum. 8After many days thou shalt be visited: at the end of years thou shalt come to the land that is returned from the sword, and is gathered out of many nations, to the mountains of Israel which have been continually waste: but it hath been brought forth out of the nations, and they shall all of them dwell securely in it.Dopo molti giorni tu sarai visitato: nel fine degli anni tu anderai in una terra, che fu liberata dalla spada, ed è stata radunata da molte genti ai monti d'Israele, che furon sempre deserti: ella fu tratta da molti popoli, e vi si abita tranquillamente.After manie dayes thou shalt be visited: in the later end of yeares thou shalt come to the land, that is returned from the sword, and is gathered together out of manie peoples, to the mountaines of Israel, that were desert continually: this same is brought forth out of the peoples, and they shal al dwel in it confidently.Post dies multos visitaberis: / in novissimo annorum venies ad terram quæ reversa est a gladio, / et congregata est de populis multis ad montes Israël, / qui fuerunt deserti jugiter: / hæc de populis educta est, / et habitabunt in ea confidenter universi. 9And thou shalt go up and come like a storm, and like a cloud to cover the land, thou and all thy bands and many people with thee.Tu vi anderai, e vi entrerai come una tempesta, e come una nube per ingombrare la terra, tu, e tutte le tue schiere, e i molti popoli, che son teco.And going vp as a tempest thou shalt come, and as it were a clowde that thou maist couer the land, thou & thy troupes, and manie peoples with thee.Ascendens autem quasi tempestas venies, / et quasi nubes, ut operias terram: / tu et omnia agmina tua, / et populi multi tecum. 10Thus saith the Lord God: In that day projects shall enter into thy heart, and thou shalt conceive a mischievous design.Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: In quel giorno tu la discorrerai in cuor tuo, e coverai pessimi consigli;Thus sayth our Lord God: In that day shal wordes ascend vpon thy hart, & thou shalt thinke a most wicked thought.Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / In die illa, ascendent sermones super cor tuum, / et cogitabis cogitationem pessimam:

11And thou shalt say: I will go up to the land which is without a wall, I will come to them that are at rest, and dwell securely: all these dwell without a wall, they have no bars nor gates:E dirai: Io m'incamminerò verso una terra smantellata: anderò contro gente, che dorme, e vive senza sospetto: tutti costoro abitano in luoghi non murati, non hanno serrature, né porte:And shalt say: I wil goe vp to the land without wal: I wil come to them that rest, and dwel securely: al these dwel without wal, there are no barres nor gates to them:et dices: Ascendam ad terram absque muro: / veniam ad quiescentes habitantesque secure: / hi omnes habitant sine muro; / vectes et portæ non sunt eis: 12To take spoils, and lay hold on the prey, to lay thy hand upon them that had been wasted, and afterwards restored, and upon the people that is gathered together out of the nations, which hath begun to possess and to dwell in the midst of the earth.Così tu rapirai le spoglie, e t'impadronirai della preda, e metterai le mani addosso a coloro, i quali erano stati dispersi, e poi furono richiamati, e ad un popolo raunato di mezzo alle genti, il quale cominciò a possedere, e ad abitare l'umbilico della terra.That thou mayst take the spoiles, and inuade the praye, that thou maist lay thy hand vpon them, that had bene desert, and afterward restored, and vpon the people that is gathered together out of the Gentils, which hath begune to possesse, and to be inhabitant of the nauel of the earth.ut diripias spolia, et invadas prædam; / ut inferas manum tuam super eos qui deserti fuerant, et postea restituti, / et super populum qui est congregatus ex gentibus, / qui possidere cœpit et esse habitator umbilici terræ. 13Saba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tharsis, and all the lions thereof shall say to thee: Art thou come to take spoils? behold, thou hast gathered thy multitude to take a prey, to take silver, and gold, and to carry away goods and substance, and to take rich spoils.Saba, e Dedan, e i mercatanti di Tarso, e tutti i suoi principi ti diranno: Vieni tu a far acquisto di spoglie? Certo che tu la tua molta gente hai radunata, per far gran preda, per portar via l'argento, e l'oro, e le suppellettili, e le cose preziose, e portar via ricchezze infinite.Saba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tharsis, and al the lions therof shal say to thee: What comest thou to take spoiles? behold thou hast gathered thy multitude to take the praye, that thou maist take siluer, and gold, and maist take away stuffe and substance, & spoile infinite booties.Saba, et Dedan, et negotiatores Tharsis, / et omnes leones ejus, dicent tibi: / Numquid ad sumenda spolia tu venis ? / ecce ad diripiendam prædam congregasti multitudinem tuam, / ut tollas argentum et aurum, / et auferas supellectilem atque substantiam, / et diripias manubias infinitas. 14Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy and say to Gog: Thus saith the Lord God: Shalt thou not know, in that day, when my people of Israel shall dwell securely?Per questo profetizza, o figliuolo dell'uomo, e dirai a Gog: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: In quel giorno, quando il popolo mio d'Israele se ne starà quieto, e sicuro, non te ne avvedrai tu allora?Therfore prophecie thou sonne of man, and thou shalt say to Gog: Thus saith our Lord God: Why shalt thou not know in that day, when my people of Israel shal dwel confidently?Propterea vaticinare, fili hominis, et dices ad Gog: / Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / Numquid non in die illo, / cum habitaverit populus meus Israël confidenter, / scies ?

15And thou shalt come out of thy place from the northern parts, thou and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company and a mighty army.E ti partirai dal tuo paese dalle parti settentrionali, tu, e molti popoli teco, tutti i soldati a cavallo turba grande, esercito possente.And thou shalt come out of thy place from the sides of the North, thou and manie peoples with thee, al riders of horses, a great companie, and a vehement armie.Et venies de loco tuo a lateribus aquilonis, / tu et populi multi tecum, / ascensores equorum universi: / cœtus magnus, et exercitus vehemens. 16And thou shalt come upon my people of Israel like a cloud, to cover the earth. Thou shalt be in the latter days, and I will bring thee upon my land: that the nations may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.E anderai contro al mio popolo Israele come nuvola, che ingombri la terra: Tu sarai alla fine dei giorni, e io ti condurrò nella mia terra, affinchè mi conoscano le genti, quand'io farò spiccar in te la mia gloria sugli occhi di esse, o Gog.And thou shalt ascend vpon my people of Israel as a clowde, that thou couer the earth. In the later dayes shalt thou be, and I wil bring thee vpon my land: that the Gentils may know me, when I shal be sanctified in thee before their eyes ô Gog.Et ascendes super populum meum Israël / quasi nubes, ut operias terram. / In novissimis diebus erit, / et adducam te super terram meam: / ut sciant gentes me / cum sanctificatus fuero in te in oculis eorum, o Gog ! 17Thus saith the Lord God: Thou then art he, of whom I have spoken in the days of old, by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in the days of those times that I would bring thee upon them.Queste cose dice il Signore Dio: Tu se' adunque colui, di cui io ho parlato ne' giorni antichi per mezzo de' servi miei, i profeti d'Israele, i quali in que' tempi profetizzarono, com' io ti avrei fatto venir contro di loro.Thus sayth our Lord God: Thou then art he, of whom I spake in the dayes of old, in the hand of my seruants the prophets of Israel, which prophecied in the dayes of those times, that I would bring in thee vpon them.Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: / Tu ergo ille es, de quo locutus sum in diebus antiquis / in manu servorum meorum prophetarum Israël, / qui prophetaverunt in diebus illorum temporum, / ut adducerem te super eos. 18And it shall come to pass in that day, in the day of the coming of Gog upon the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my indignation shall come up in my wrath.E in quel giorno, nel di dell'arrivo di Gog nella terra d'Israele, dice il Signore Dio, scoppierà l'indegnazione mia, e il mio furore.And it shal be in that day, in the day of the coming of Gog vpon the land of Israel, saith our Lord God, myne indignation shal ascend in my furie. And in my zele, and in the fire of my wrath I haue spoken:Et erit in die illa, / in die adventus Gog super terram Israël, / ait Dominus Deus, / ascendet indignatio mea in furore meo.

19And I have spoken in my zeal, and in the fire of my anger, that in that day there shall be a great commotion upon the land of Israel:E nel mio zelo, nel calor del mio sdegno io parlerò: Grande sarà in quel dì la commozione nella terra d'Israele:That in that day shal be a great commotion vpon the land of Israel: and at my presenceEt in zelo meo, in igne iræ meæ locutus sum, / quia in die illa erit commotio magna super terram Israël: 20So that the fishes of the sea, and the birds of the air, and the beasts of the field, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the ground, and all men that are upon the face of the earth, shall be moved at my presence: and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the hedges shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.E dinanzi a me saranno in agitazione i pesci del mare, e gli uccelli dell'aria, e le bestie de' campi, e tutti i rettili, che si muovono sulla terra, e tutti gli uomini, che abitano la superficie della terra: e i monti saran rovesciati, e caderanno i baluardi, e tutte le mura precipiteranno per terra.shal the fishes of the sea be moued, and the foules of heauen, and the beastes of the fild, and enerie creeping thing, that moueth vpon the ground & al men that are vpon the face of the earth: and the mountaines shal be ouerthrowen, and the hedges shal fal, and euerie wal shal fal on the ground.et commovebuntur a facie mea pisces maris, / et volucres cæli, et bestiæ agri, / et omne reptile quod movetur super humum, / cunctique homines qui sunt super faciem terræ: / et subvertentur montes, et cadent sepes, / et omnis murus corruet in terram. 21And I will call in the sword against him in all my mountains, saith the Lord God: every man’s sword shall be pointed against his brother.E chiamerò contro di lui su tutti i miei monti la spada, dice il Signore Dio: dirizzerà ognuno la spada contro il proprio fratello.And I wil cal in against him in al my moūtaines the sword, saith our Lord God: euerie mans sword shal be directed against his brother.Et convocabo adversus eum in cunctis montibus meis gladium, / ait Dominus Deus: / gladius uniuscujusque in fratrem suum dirigetur. 22And I will judge him with pestilence, and with blood, and with violent rain, and vast hailstones: I will rain fire and brimstone upon him, and upon his army, and upon the many nations that are with him.E lo punirò colla pestilenza, e colla strage, e con pioggia furiosa, e con pietre sterminate: pioverò sopra di lui, e sopra del suo esercito, e sopra i molti popoli, che son con lui fuoco, e zolfo.And I wil iudge him with pestilence, and bloud, and vehement showre, & mightie great stones: fire, and brimstone wil I raine vpon him, and vpon his armie, and vpon the manie peoples that ar• with him.Et judicabo eum peste, et sanguine, / et imbre vehementi, et lapidibus immensis: / ignem et sulphur pluam super eum, / et super exercitum ejus, / et super populos multos qui sunt cum eo.

23And I will be magnified, and I will be sanctified: and I will be known in the eyes of many nations and they shall know that I am the Lord.E farò conoscere la mia grandezza, e la mia santità: e mi farò conoscere da molte nazioni, e sapranno, ch'io son il Signore.And I wil be magnified, and I wil be sanctified: and I wil be knowen in the eyes of manie nations: and they shal know that I am the Lord.Et magnificabor, et sanctificabor, / et notus ero in oculis multarum gentium: / et scient quia ego Dominus.
