39 «E tu, figlio dell'uomo, profetizza contro Gog e annunzia: Così dice il Signore Dio: Eccomi contro di te, Gog, principe capo di Mesech e di Tubal. Io ti sospingerò e ti condurrò e dagli estremi confini del settentrione ti farò salire e ti condurrò sui monti d'Israele. Spezzerò l'arco nella tua mano sinistra e farò cadere le frecce dalla tua mano destra. Tu cadrai sui monti d'Israele con tutte le tue schiere e i popoli che sono con te: ti ho destinato in pasto agli uccelli rapaci d'ogni specie e alle bestie selvatiche. Tu sarai abbattuto in aperta campagna, perché io l'ho detto. Oracolo del Signore Dio.

Manderò un fuoco su Magòg e sopra quelli che abitano tranquilli le isole: sapranno che io sono il Signore. Farò conoscere il mio nome santo in mezzo al mio popolo Israele, e non permetterò che il mio santo nome sia profanato; le genti sapranno che io sono il Signore, santo in Israele. Ecco, questo avviene e si compie - parola del Signore Dio -: è questo il giorno di cui ho parlato. Gli abitanti delle città d'Israele usciranno e per accendere il fuoco bruceranno armi, scudi grandi e piccoli e archi e frecce e mazze e giavellotti e con quelle alimenteranno il fuoco per sette anni. 10 Non andranno a prendere la legna nei campi e neppure a tagliarla nei boschi perché faranno il fuoco con le armi: spoglieranno coloro che li avevano spogliati e deprederanno coloro che li avevano saccheggiati. Parola del Signore Dio.

11 In quel giorno assegnerò a Gog come sepolcro un luogo famoso in Israele, la valle di Abarìm, a oriente del mare: essa chiude il passo ai viandanti. Lì sarà sepolto Gog e tutta la sua moltitudine e quel luogo si chiamerà Valle della moltitudine di Gog. 12 La casa di Israele darà loro sepoltura per sette mesi per purificare il paese. 13 Lì seppellirà tutto il popolo del paese e sarà per loro glorioso il giorno in cui manifesterò la mia gloria. Parola del Signore Dio. 14 Saranno scelti uomini che percorreranno di continuo il paese per seppellire con l'aiuto dei viandanti quelli che son rimasti a fior di terra, per renderla pura; cominceranno le ricerche alla fine del settimo mese. 15 Quando percorrendo il paese vedranno ossa umane, vi porranno un segnale, finché i becchini non le seppelliscano nella valle della moltitudine di Gog: 16 Hamonà sarà chiamata la città. Così purificheranno il paese. 17 A te, figlio dell'uomo, dice il Signore Dio: Annunzia agli uccelli d'ogni specie e a tutte le bestie selvatiche: Radunatevi, venite; raccoglietevi da ogni parte sul sacrificio che offro a voi, sacrificio grande, sui monti d'Israele. Mangerete carne e berrete sangue; 18 mangerete carne d'eroi, berrete sangue di prìncipi del paese: montoni, agnelli, capri e tori grassi di Basàn, tutti. 19 Mangerete grasso a sazietà e berrete fino all'ebbrezza il sangue del sacrificio che preparo per voi. 20 Alla mia tavola vi sazierete di cavalli e cavalieri, di eroi e di guerrieri d'ogni razza. Parola del Signore Dio.

Conclusione

21 Fra le genti manifesterò la mia gloria e tutte le genti vedranno la giustizia che avrò fatta e la mano che avrò posta su di voi. 22 La casa d'Israele da quel giorno in poi saprà che io, il Signore, sono il loro Dio. 23 Le genti sapranno che la casa d'Israele per la sua iniquità era stata condotta in schiavitù, perché si era ribellata a me e io avevo nascosto loro il mio volto e li avevo dati in mano ai loro nemici, perché tutti cadessero di spada. 24 Secondo le loro nefandezze e i loro peccati io li trattai e nascosi loro la faccia.

25 Perciò così dice il Signore Dio: Ora io ristabilirò la sorte di Giacobbe, avrò compassione di tutta la casa d'Israele e sarò geloso del mio santo nome. 26 Quando essi abiteranno nella loro terra tranquilli, senza che alcuno li spaventi, si vergogneranno di tutte le ribellioni che hanno commesse contro di me.

27 Quando io li avrò ricondotti dalle genti e li avrò radunati dalle terre dei loro nemici e avrò mostrato in loro la mia santità, davanti a numerosi popoli, 28 allora sapranno che io, il Signore, sono il loro Dio, poiché dopo averli condotti in schiavitù fra le genti, li ho radunati nel loro paese e non ne ho lasciato fuori neppure uno. 29 Allora non nasconderò più loro il mio volto, perché diffonderò il mio spirito sulla casa d'Israele». Parola del Signore Dio.

39 “Tú, pues, oh hijo de hombre, profetiza contra Gog y di que así ha dicho el SEÑOR Dios[a]: ‘He aquí, yo estoy contra ti, oh Gog, príncipe soberano de Mesec y Tubal. Te haré dar vuelta y te conduciré. Te haré subir desde los confines del norte y te traeré a los montes de Israel. Romperé tu arco en tu mano izquierda y haré que caigan las flechas de tu mano derecha. Sobre los montes de Israel caerás tú con todas tus tropas y los pueblos que están contigo. Te he dado por comida a las aves de rapiña, a las aves de toda especie y a los animales del campo. Sobre la superficie del campo caerás, porque yo he hablado, dice el SEÑOR Dios[b]’.

“Enviaré fuego sobre Magog y sobre los que habitan con seguridad en las costas. Y sabrán que yo soy el SEÑOR. Daré a conocer mi santo nombre en medio de mi pueblo Israel, y nunca más permitiré que mi santo nombre sea profanado. Y sabrán las naciones que yo soy el SEÑOR, el Santo de Israel.

“¡He aquí que viene y se cumplirá!, dice el SEÑOR Dios[c]. Este es el día del cual he hablado. Entonces saldrán los habitantes de las ciudades de Israel, y encenderán fuego y harán arder las armas: los escudos y las defensas, los arcos y las flechas, las jabalinas y las lanzas. Y con ellas harán fuego durante siete años; 10 no recogerán leña del campo ni la cortarán de los bosques, sino que prenderán el fuego con las armas. Así despojarán a los que los despojaron, y saquearán a los que los saquearon, dice el SEÑOR Dios[d].

11 “Sucederá en aquel día que yo daré a Gog un lugar para sepultura allí en Israel, en el valle de los viajeros, al oriente del mar, y obstruirán el paso de los viajeros. Allí sepultarán a Gog y a su multitud, y lo llamarán valle de Hamón-gog. 12 Y la casa de Israel los estará enterrando durante siete meses, para purificar la tierra. 13 Todo el pueblo de la tierra los enterrará; para ellos será célebre el día en que yo me glorifique, dice el SEÑOR Dios[e]. 14 Apartarán gente para atravesar constantemente la tierra y sepultar a los que pasaron y que han quedado sobre la faz de la tierra, a fin de purificarla. Al cabo de siete meses harán el reconocimiento. 15 Pasarán los que vayan por la tierra, y el que vea el hueso de algún hombre levantará junto a él una señal hasta que los sepultureros los sepulten en el valle de Hamón-gog. 16 El nombre de la ciudad también será Hamonah. Así purificarán la tierra.

17 “Y tú, oh hijo de hombre, así ha dicho el SEÑOR Dios[f], di a las aves de rapiña, a las aves de toda especie y a los animales del campo: ‘¡Júntense y vengan! Reúnanse de todas partes al sacrificio que hago para ustedes: un gran sacrificio sobre los montes de Israel. Comerán carne y beberán sangre. 18 Comerán la carne de los poderosos y beberán la sangre de los gobernantes de la tierra, de carneros, de corderos, de machos cabríos y de toros, todos ellos engordados en Basán. 19 Comerán sebo hasta hartarse, y beberán la sangre del sacrificio que he hecho para ustedes, hasta embriagarse. 20 En mi mesa se saciarán de caballos y de jinetes[g], de valientes y de todos los hombres de guerra’, dice el SEÑOR Dios[h].

Israel toma conciencia de su Dios

21 “Entonces pondré mi gloria entre las naciones, y todas las naciones verán mi juicio que habré hecho y mi poderío que habré impuesto sobre ellas. 22 De aquel día en adelante sabrá la casa de Israel que yo soy el SEÑOR su Dios. 23 Las naciones sabrán también que la casa de Israel fue llevada cautiva por causa de su pecado. Porque se rebelaron contra mí, yo escondí de ellos mi rostro y los entregué en mano de sus enemigos; y todos ellos cayeron a espada. 24 Hice con ellos de acuerdo con su impureza y sus transgresiones, y escondí de ellos mi rostro”.

25 Por tanto, así ha dicho el SEÑOR Dios[i]: “Ahora restauraré de la cautividad a Jacob. Tendré misericordia de toda la casa de Israel, y mostraré mi celo por mi santo nombre. 26 Olvidarán su afrenta y toda la infidelidad con que fueron infieles contra mí, cuando habiten en su tierra en seguridad y no haya quien los espante; 27 cuando yo los haya hecho volver de los pueblos, los haya reunido de las tierras de sus enemigos, y haya mostrado mi santidad en ellos a vista de muchas naciones. 28 Y sabrán que soy el SEÑOR su Dios, cuando yo los lleve cautivos entre las naciones y cuando los reúna sobre su tierra sin dejar allá a ninguno de ellos. 29 No esconderé más de ellos mi rostro, porque habré derramado mi Espíritu sobre la casa de Israel”, dice el SEÑOR Dios[j].

39 “Son of man, prophesy against Gog(A) and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of[a] Meshek(B) and Tubal.(C) I will turn you around and drag you along. I will bring you from the far north(D) and send you against the mountains of Israel.(E) Then I will strike your bow(F) from your left hand and make your arrows(G) drop from your right hand. On 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(H) and to the wild animals.(I) You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.(J) I will send fire(K) on Magog(L) and on those who live in safety in the coastlands,(M) and they will know(N) that I am the Lord.

“‘I will make known my holy name among my people Israel. I will no longer let my holy name be profaned,(O) and the nations will know(P) that I the Lord am the Holy One in Israel.(Q) It is coming! It will surely take place, declares the Sovereign Lord. This is the day(R) I have spoken of.

“‘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,(S) the war clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel.(T) 10 They 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(U) those who plundered them and loot those who looted them, declares the Sovereign Lord.(V)

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(W) there. So it will be called the Valley of Hamon Gog.[b](X)

12 “‘For seven months the Israelites will be burying them in order to cleanse the land.(Y) 13 All the people of the land will bury them, and the day I display my glory(Z) will be a memorable day for them, declares the Sovereign Lord. 14 People 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. 15 As 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, 16 near a town called Hamonah.[c] 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(AA) 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.(AB) 18 You 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.(AC) 19 At the sacrifice(AD) I am preparing for you, you will eat fat till you are glutted and drink blood till you are drunk. 20 At my table you will eat your fill of horses and riders, mighty men and soldiers of every kind,’ declares the Sovereign Lord.(AE)

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.(AF) 22 From that day forward the people of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God. 23 And 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.(AG) 24 I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and their offenses, and I hid my face from them.(AH)

25 “Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will now restore the fortunes of Jacob[d](AI) and will have compassion(AJ) on all the people of Israel, and I will be zealous for my holy name.(AK) 26 They will forget their shame and all the unfaithfulness they showed toward me when they lived in safety(AL) in their land with no one to make them afraid.(AM) 27 When 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.(AN) 28 Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them(AO) to their own land, not leaving any behind.(AP) 29 I will no longer hide my face(AQ) from them, for I will pour out my Spirit(AR) on the people of Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord.(AS)

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:

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:

And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.

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.

Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.

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.

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.

Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God; this is the day whereof I have spoken.

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.
